WASHINGTON. Kelt. 2d.—Undoubt
edly there Isaqu'etorfeellngnianlfest
ed at the navy department over the
Maine affair as time passes. This Is
the tenth ilay slti'-c the war ship was
destroyed. lint th" officers are willing
to wait In patient" until the facts re
lating to the explosion are fully de
veloped. They are fully on their
guard against the acceptance Of unau
thorized statements of the conditions
tit Havana and th • dally developments,
being aware of the efficiency of the
precautions adopted by the court of
inquiry to prevent; the premature dis
closure of me proccedingx Therefore
the published stn'cnicnt ihat the ex
plosion has been demonstrated to Ice of
exterior origin by the discovery of the
apheaved double bottom of the Maine
did not cause much of a stir Iteeanse
Sl,,. i,.l , ..I I ... « . . 1 . . il.nt at..
alert member* of the rotiri of Inquiry
ami their anaisiaatr in Havana had
overlooked a fact so Important a* this,
nowthrtanding ii must have been per
fectly apparent for the past week to
any one who came near the wreck In
ca*o It Is true.
Captain Croninshleld turned up at
the navy department today and took
the helm in the bateau of navigation,
relieving Captain Dickens, who lias
distinguhlied bin elf and earned the
thunks i f tli ■ sec -etary for the untiring
vigilance with which lie has manage 1
ail of the Maine matters that have
fallen upon the navigation bureau,
and of the newspaper men fur the pa
tience and frankness with which he
has met their manv inuuiri
Captain Crcninshteld - absence has
been made the basis for the conlecttire
tiiat he has been on secret service for
the navy department In Cuba, and
cole r was lent to this impression bv
the fact that it was not possible until
a late hour yesterday to secure from
any of the official* a statement of ilio
nature of his business in the south,
for it was known that he had arriv'd
In Tampa on the Montgomery from the
West Indies. Th° officer himself was
not very communicative as to the de
tails of Ills tl'lD, bui he did sav that lie
had been in Domingo. He had gone
there on the Brooklyn with his son
when tlm ship stalled for St Thomas
While in Ban Domingo lu* received
news of the disaster u, the Maine, and
took advantage of the potior t<initv pre
sented bv the appearance In Han Do
mingo of the cruiser Montgomery to
make his way back to the Ctilted
Hta'es and to Washington.
There was no word from either Cap
tain Slgsbce or Consul General l.pe
this morning at the navy or state de
partment*. The monitor Terror os
lying in Hampton Hoads, and it is said
at "the navv deoartmenl that It has no
orders as yet. The impression is that
it will remain In thai place, which is
one of great strati g'e va'ue in me of
need, at least until the monitor Furl,
tan is rendv to 'Jt'.'.- its place. The
Puritan is almost twice as I is as the
Terror, being g it.iiOO-ton vessel, verv
little less than the Maine in size It
carries twelve-inch guns In Its turrets
against ten-inch guns for the Terror,
and Is altogether the most formidable
doiible-mrreted monitor In the world
in smooth water. This nualifleation
, does not mean that it Is unable to ke m
the sea. hut onlv that from its ercat
breadth and light draft It is so dtfficut
to do good work with ita guns in a
seaway. It is now having new furnaces
■ fitted to its boilers at the Norfolk
navv yard, the crowns of the furnaces
1 | having come down some time ago ow
■ i ing to the fact that the boilers are the
■ | same thm were built for ii when it ws

Bvery official connected with the in

aster to the Maine, from Captain samp
son down to the divers and linemen,
j Is under oath of secrecy. For the .time
being the divers are under naval disci
pline. When above water each is al
icnded by a petty officer of the court of
Inquiry. The Maine itself is aacredly
guarded from unofficial approach,
"These facts account for the remark
aide equanimity with which the Amer
ican people read the dally sensations
from Havana and the stock jobbing
f< icbcddlngs of war from New Vork
an<t Washington.
"This much Is absolutely true: Pres,

days a feeling of unrest in the I rea-t

that In case of war with Spain the
troops would lie taken ftom Fort Rob

The half-breed, whose name H I ell,

and when they noticed him spproach

The Fullness Thereof.
Amid the discomforts of life and the
fullness therof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
Bo much. From big pains to little
ailiPB, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure of man, there
arc always remedies good, better anil
best. The choice should lie always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering witli rheu
matism. neuralgia sciatica or lum
bago. or witli the minor ailmints of
sprains and bruise;), or of soreness an I
stiffness, the efibacy of SL Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof In so many
complete and perfect cures make it
stand out as the l est remedy for pain.
Why, ‘.'.:en, should we stand on tho
order of going for it, and not bo at
once? In numberless cases the aggra
