riHIUlK. S. D. , Fob. 16. ( Special. ' ) In
thb present Insurance- row there Is ot course
a great deal of gossip , more or less peril-
iicit and to the point. In this line might
IJR clanfied a clash In which Public Examiner
Taylor took a part , when he- was asked to
CM lal i the difference In the action's of the
govrriior , In'suing the republican state of
ficial , } for the * whole sum collected by Ander
son for examination of Insurance companies ,
claiming that the whole amount , expense ac
count Included , was the property of the state.
Then , after charging Examiner McLaren with
the same thing , demanding that ho refund
the excess charges to the companies , nnd
keep only that which ho was allowed by
law. Further , -why criminal prosecution waa
begun against the republicans and the only
attempt of punishment of populists was at
tempted removal from odlco. Ills replies to
these iuesllons | wcro that "we are not
through with KIpp and McLaren yet , " and
that It would be an easy matter for the
state to return excess charges to the Insur-
O anco companies to which they belonged , If
they could secure the excess by suit In the
name of the state. From his first reply It
would bo Inferred that the governor Intends
further criminal prosecutions In the Insur
ance department.
' Another Is abatement from Examiner Me-
Ltfron , that In the case ot the 'Equitable- ' Life
Insurance company of lcs Molncs , for the
examination of which the governor Iu his
letter scores the department for examining
a company which everyone know was sound
without examination , that , one of the securi
ties scheduled as dmong the assets of the
company wns n real estate mortgage ot
$10,000 given by Lee & 1'rentls on lands In
Cloy and Union counties.
Another Is the assurance of Commissioner
KIpp that ho hnn In his possession a letter
from the governor demanding the employ
ment In the Insurance office of Representa
tives King , regardless ot the constitutional
provisions which prevent n member of the
legislature from oecurlng any benefit from an
olllcu which he holpwl to create.
Yet another In that T. II. Ayres , who has
been appointed hy the governor to succeed
KIpp , came to the Insurance department u
short time before the present scrap , and de
mands half the Insurance statements of the
flrat circuit for his paper , the Plain Talk ,
nnd .stated that ho would publish them In a
special edition , so the other papers ot the
clicult would not catch on and raise a row
about It , and that would give the necessary
funds for his new building next spring. Of
course ho would not hold up nn Insurance
company for examination fees , but how about
thci "pop" brethren of the press.
On .tho part of the governor1 ! * oIMco there
Is very little said about the matt r further
than that the laws of the Insurance depart
ment have been violated , In the fact that
the examiner charged excessive fees , making :
charges for a greater number of days than
arc shown by the companies to have been
put In nt the work , and charging $10 per
day and expenses In all non-assessment com- :
Iianle , when but expensea , 'not to exceed
S10 per day are allowed by the statute.
, Iloth sttlea claim to be confident of win- ,
illng out In the hearing before the supreme
court next week.

iIIUROX , S. I ) . , Feb. 1C. ( Spcclal. ) The
discovery of green bugs In cornstalks , Hus-
ilnn tlilstles , etc. , has prompted farmers In
this locality to take steps for their eradica
tion. Township authorities are urging farm
ers and others to destroy nil noxious weeds
before seeding time , by raking and 'burning.
The st.ito law providing for this work will
lie more rigidly enforced than ever hcfore.
For several years but llttlo attention has
been given to the destruction ot noxious
weeds , nnd 'they have been allowed to grow
ulong highways and In uncultivated fields to
an alarming extent. Uy the gathering and
'burning of thcdo weeds not only will the
preen hug pest Jo largely destroyed , 'but '
the ravages of grasshoppers will bo lessened.
In Cl'nrloB Mix. Brule and other eountlea
many cattle have died from eating fodder
Infected with green bugs. The stomachs of
some of the oninvils wcro examined and
found to contain , from one to three quarts ;
of thp bugs. The county commissioners have
dlroctO'l townsh'lp boards to enforce the law
/providing / for the destruction of noxious
- vyecds.with a ylow to gutting rid of this
and other pests.

"Southern Colorado ought to be one of tde
best regions In the world" for the culture
of olives , " remarked C. A. Rand , a prominent
fruit dealer of California to u reporter of the
Denver News. "Do you know the olive Is
coming forward as otic of the most profitable
crops ot the Pacific ecast ? There arc non
In California over 35u,000 olive trees which
have reached the productive utaRe and the
state has over 3,000,000 nonbearing trees.
It requires seven ycara for the treu to ar
rive at the stage of profitable bearing. Cal
ifornia has consumed all the homo product
Ilius far. Last year we sent twenty barrels
of the fruit to Chicago ns a sample nnd or
ders have been rolling In from that city < it
a rate which would require the entire crop
of the ctate to fill.
"Ccllfornln , " said Mr , RSod , "Is the flrxt
region of the world to place the ripe olive
on the market. The ripe olive Is ao far
superior to the green that a person who has
tasted the ripe fruit will never afterwards
call for the green. The green fruit Is bitter ,
but the ripe Is perfectly delicious. The Cal
ifornia olives bring 70 cents gallon , but
there Is a good profit In the fruit at 40 cents.
Of course as the output Increases prices will
fall , but the future of the olive is extremely
bright. The people of this country ure yet
to be educated as * o the desirability of the
olive as a food , and when a gccicp.il dqmand
oncj gets under way , California cannot hope
to meet It. Then will be the opportunity of
sonfe state like Colorado , which bns a mild
climate , sandy soil and the conditions nec
essary foe tti , successful culture of the tree. "
Mr. Hand eays the outlook for fruit deal
ers Is brighter this year than for a long
time past. The fruit business has developed
so immensely on the Pacific coast that
thousands of acres ot orchards are planted
every year and new orchards are yearly
sending their products to the market. 'Mr. ' .
Kind estimates that California has 13,000,000
fruit trees which are bearing , and 18,000,000
fruit 'trees of various kinds In the nonbcar-
Ing stage. Ho owns one peach orchard whlcCi
yielded-four ton&.of peaches to the acre. The

The Oklahoma. Live Stock association has
determined to 'exterminate , If possible , the
wolves that infest thu ranges of Okla
homa and annually destroy thousands of
dollars worth of cattle. The association of
fers $ " 0 each for tlio scalp of a full grown
wolf and $10 each for scalps ot whelps. The
total -value of a full grcwn wolf scalp Is
$25 , as the commissioner of Wooiward
county pays a premium of $3 and the scalp
has a market \ulue ot $2. It might seem
that killing wolves would bo a lucrative
employment , but as a matter of fact the
dlinculty of catching the wolves Is so great
that the profits are not big. The range
wolves are powerful animals and easily kill
the biggest Hteera.

Eleven Croatlans are In the city on their
nay cast , after Inspection ot the Itad In
southwestern Colorado , where a great colony
of Croatlans Is to be located. The members
ot the committee nearly all live In the east
ern states and they will carry to their frlcada
the Intelligence .that they have found homes
In eouthweatcrn Colorado. Every member of
the party selected a site for a farm In the
beautiful valley ot the Shcnandoah.
The proposed settlement Is by all odds
the largest Immigration movement the state
has over known , and If half the plans ot the
originators arc realized at least 500 families
will be located In San Miguel county during
the present year. The central colony once
established , It la proposed to keep ! n motion
systematic machinery for occupying upwards
of 150,000 acres of Irrigable and grazing
land In Shenandoah valley and vicinity.
ORGANIZATION OF COLONISTS.
The organization which proposes to oc
cupy the vromlsed land la to bo known ao
the Croatian Colonization society ot America.
The committee In charge of the movement
made a trip to the grounds last week amV
spent several days looking over the valley.
Last Thursday the committee met , and by
unanimous vote selected the valley ot the
Shenandoah as the home ot the colony , to be
gathered from different states of the union.
The election of olllcera for the society re
sulted as follows :
President Dr. John Pohek , Kacsas City ,
Kan.
Kan.Vice President Jol.oi Bozlc , Chicago.
Secretary Charles Kuharich , New York.
Treasurer Max Malich , Denver.
Superintendent William Helntz.
Directors ( In addition to thcos name. )
above ) Charlea Hckitz , Mike Fisher , Martin
Plutt. John Pctcrllng , JohnVuklc. .
The olllcera and directors were required to
take an oath to make use ot their abilities
to the best Interest ot the colc-ny and to
obey rules for the guidance of the colony ,
which were read and adopted. While on the
grounds the committee selected a number of
tracts of land , estimated at 5,000 acres , presi
dent Pohck , who la a leading physician of
Kansas City , Kan. , purchased 320 acres ,
which ho proposes to cultivate en scicntiltc
methods. " While In the valley the party en
joyed a barbecue and celebrated the foundIng -
Ing of the colony with addresses and con
gratulations. Several members of the visitIng -
Ing committee remained ki the valley to
superintend the erection of homes for their
families , which are cxpccte.l as soon' as ac
commodations can be secured. A sawmill
la In operation , and It Is proposed to intro
duce settlers as rapidly as houses can bo
erected.
PLANS OF THE COLONY.
"It Is only a question ot having accom
modations for the people who are anxloun
to establish themselves In the colony , " said
a member of the committee yesterday In
speaking ot the plans of the organization ,
"Wo have men In our committee who can
send 300 families this nprlng , others who
pledge themselves to ocnd 200 families , and
altogether It Is wholly possible to land 1,000
families In southwestern Colorado within the
next three months , If we sd desire. We ac
cept no member who decs not have at least
$300 , and we expect that families will be
self-supporting bcforo the end of the flrst
year. Our plan Is to raise vogetabales for
market In the mining camps and in the-
larger towns of the state and at the name
time we .will be making progress toward
grape growing , with the object of onanufac-
turing wine on a large scale. 'Within ' teci
days a dozen plows will be turning over the
soil In the valley and we have already made
application for a school and n postofllce.
There are three schools In the region , but
the houses are all too far from the first set
tlement which wo propose to build.
"Our annual due ? , which all members
who .are heads of families are obliged to
pay , will bo $3. and an Initiation feu of $10
is required , making a total of $13 from each
member the first year. The land which we
are buying Is to be paid for In a period of
nlno years and the company In charge of the
Irrigation enterprise now has sixty-five miles
of canals and ditches and will expend $75,000
In additions during the present year. As
settlers will be employed by the company In
the work , the money thus expended will go
to aseist the early camera. "

MinCii mill .Senator * C'luir.v of
ICviircHHlnjv Opinions.
WASHINGTON' , Feb. 1C. The greatest
Interest prevailed among senators ami
representatives aa to the extent of the
Maine disaster , and many ot them hur
ried to the Navy nnd State departments
to learn If there were any further details.
With only the first reports before them ,
and n recognition of the gravity of cny
utterances , there wns a hesitancy to express
opinions at this time. The Immense gravity
of the situation In case later advices should
show that the disaster was not purely acci
dental , was admitted by all public men.
Conservative public men ! n the face of the
appalling catastrophe , the meager Informa
tion at hand and Its possible consequences ,
therefore declined to express any opinion at
this time.
Chairmen Hitt of the foreign affairs com
mittee. Chairman Dlngley of the ways and
means committee , and members of the naval
committee of thp liouso , all said they pre
ferred to await fuller IB formation before ex
pressing themselves. . Mr. Hitt said It would
be well for the public to follow the CUE
given by Captain Slgsbee and suspend Judg
ment until the cauo _ of the disaster was
ascertained. , . .
Senator Platt of Connecticut expressed the
opinion that the exjilqslcn would be found
to bo the result of aiiaccldent from within
and ho doubted that any one could have
planned and carried out a plot to bring
about an explosion cpj the ship.
Kx-Se-nator Hutlerr'of.South , Caroliifa , who
waa a member of the cpmmlttee en foreign
relations In the senate , during his service ,
said that < t was uecliledly strange that
American vessels have , visited every port In
the world and no aceidejj befallen them , but
as BOOH as a vessel Visited Havana this
great disaster should emir. General Butler
was of the oplnloiv tnat some bold man
had gene aboard thp , Maine and , placed -a
gronadft with a'slo\r'inatch'"ivuere it'would
explode the magazine. ; It was probable , he
thought , that many people had been per
mitted to visit the war ship and that some
one of the visitors had carried a grenade
aboard.
Senator Falrbnnk says : "The reports are
so meager that It Is impossible to detorm'Lic
the cause of tlio explosion cr locate the re
sponsibility of any one at fault. A thorough
Investigation doubtless will bo instituted by
the proper authorities. It Is a man de
plorable accident , and one which will awaken
the most general svmpathy. "
Senator Warren of Wyoming said : "If It
should develop that the Spanish had any
thing to do with the occurrence both the
United States navy and the army ought to
be summoned to take the matter up In earn
est. If it should prave' to be an accident , it
should bo carefully Investigated , for It Is
high time that such accidents were brought
to a cloje. It has apparently como to be
true that our naval vessels cannot make
any move , cannot go up a stream or down
a stream , or out to sea , without grounding
or having some other accident befall them ,
I hope , therefore , that no time will bo lou ,
in determining the cause and placing the
responsibility for the- occurrence , whether
due to the hand of a foreigner or a member
of our own forces. "
Senator I'asco : "It Is a deplorable oc
currence , but It is Impossible to say whether
anyone can bo held responsible or blame
worthy. Certainly a most rigid investigation
should bo made Into the accident by the
Navy department , and If It should subse
quently appear that legislative action Is nec-
cesary , congress should take the matter hi
hand. For the present , however. It Is fall-
to presume that the president and Navy
department will take the proper steps In
the matter. "
A very prominent maval olllccr , who did not
wish his cm mo used because of the meager-
nciss of present Information as to dc-tal.'s ,
expressed the Informal opinion that the acci
dent occurred from spontaneous combustion
In the coal bunkers , the heat of which ex
ploded the powder In the supplementary
magazines adjoining.
Still another prominent officer wao very
confident that the forward magazine ot the
Ma'no could not have exploded. "Had the
inagaKlne e-xploJcd , " said ho , "tho ehlp
would have been blown to Hinders. "
The news of , the disaster created a pro
found Impression at the capital. Senators
and members of the house , as a rule , ex
pressed the opinion for publication that the
catastrophe was the result of accident and
not of design , but thcro wcro eoma opmlcns ,
generally expressed under the breath , with
the admonition not to publish , to the effect
that the affair looked very mysterious acid
doubtful. As n rwult senators expremed
the opinion that tbo department would and
should make a thorough Investigation and
added that for the pmtnt It would be un
necessary for congrcva to take the matter up ,
Senator Hale , chairman of the committee
an naval affairs and a-juiember of the com
mittee on appropriation ? , said that ho had
just como from an Uviqrylou' with the secre
tary of the navy and ftiat he felt confident
that the Navy department would institute
a thorough investigation Into the disaster ,
"Thcro Is no occaajorii" said the senator ,
"for congress to taketho , matter up. Surely
something should bnjpfj to the department
and this Is one of yia.hlngs ( which In my
opinion should be so feft. It U , of course ,
Impossible from the , jnf/jrmation received to
say how ihe accident qccurred , but I feel
confident that the factj when developed will
show that It was a 'accident. The Maine
was , of course , preparj/d for action In case
action should bo nectary and there maybe
bo vulnerable points , exposed , A battleship
Is little lesd than a v cano under the most
favorable circumstances , nnd when legislat
ing for the Increase of the navy I always
feel that a war vessel may prove to be as
dangerous to those on board as to those with
whom It mlgljt engage In hostile conflict.
FOP this reason I am sure tlio affair In Ha
vana harbor will pro-,0 as a genuine nen-
satlon In naval circles atI deem any po
litical aspect of It may be , "
The senator expreise-,1 the opinion that
congress would take steps to prevent the do-
cream ) of the navy , but would not undertake
to say that there would bo Immediate efforts
to replace the Maine , IIo said that what
ever could have caused the catastrophe ho
was uure that no friend of Spain could have
bcon guilty of such conduct for the reaeia
that If there had been no higher motive the
act would have been a very foolish and fool
hardy one. He said tile Maine had cost , ac
cording to his recollection , between $3,090-
000 and $4.000,000.
Senator Clay of Georgia : "The presump
tion la that the Navy department will give
careful and thorough attention to the mat
ter , < uiV ( It will mnkc such report as It may
deem , necessary. If then It becomes neces
sary for congress to net I am sure there will
bo no hesitation In dealing with the matter.
There Is no proof that the Spanish are In
any way responsible for the eerlous calamity ,
and we should bo slow to make charges
without proof to substantiate. I therefore
content myself with saying that Investiga
tion Is alt that Is needed for the present and
that this Investigation should bo rigid , letting
ting the blame rest where It may. "
Two members of the cabinet who spent
eamo tlmo with the president today state
that everything so Mr received Indicates that
the less ot the Maine was due to accident.
Captain 6lgsbco In Ills telegrams from Ha
vana states that ho Is not prepared to ox-
proas nn opinion on this point.
Senators Chandler and Mason were In the
room ot the senate committee on
postofllccs and post roads and ol
course were talking about the nc-
cldont. Senator Chandler eald that no one
could tell now how the accident occurrc-1.
It might have been a torpedo under the bows
ot the ship , or It might have been an acci
dent whlla handling ammunition. "But they
arc not likely to have been handling am
munition at 10 o'clock at night , " put In
Senator Mason.
"Oh , they might have been , " continued
Senator Chandler. "If the explosion was
from within It was : r.o doubt an accident ; If
from without then no doubt It was by de
sign. "
Senator Carter said It was a most serious
and awful disaster. Ho expressed the opln-
lonlon that no amount of Investigation would
clear up the mystery of how It occurred ,
The explosion would leave no trace of what
took place bcforo and the burning of the ship
would obliterate all possibility of learning
much of what took place.
The Maine Incident formed the principal
topic ot consideration by the senate com
mittee on foreign relations at Its meeting to
day. The affair was not before the com
mittee , but It was nevertheless allowed to
displace almost all other business. The
opinion generally expressed by members of
the committee In this Informal conference
was that the occurrence W < M of very serious
Import and that It might result In grave
complications unless Spain can make It very
plain that no Spaniard was In any way ro-
oponslble for It. A prominent member of the
committee said after the close of the meetIng -
Ing that Spain would bo expected to make
an explanation that would entirely clear Ui ;
the mystery and ( tiat If It did not this coun
try would have a right to demand such ex
planation. Most or the members of the com
mittee refused after the conference to ex
press any opinion concerning the occurrence.
"It Is too serious to tall ; about at present. "
said Senator Lodge , while Senator Culloni
said"I can't-see how the explosion could
have been the result of an accident and I
think the tlmo Is rapidly approaching when
thte country must do nomethlng. " Clark
would only say : "It Is singular that ntich ac
cidents tinppen at such opportune times. "
Senator Morgan of Alabama , a member of
the committee on foreign affairs , said : "In
the absence of definite information ns to the
causes and results of the Maine catastrophe ,
I would not venture an opinion uiion It.
If It was an accident , as the first dispatches
seem 'to indicate. It was most deplorable ;
If It was due to treachery , as some are in-
cllne < l to believe , it was most heinous nnd no
penalty would be too severe for those rc-
sponsihle for It. 'But ' whether the calamity
was due to accident or treachery , I should
like to see Introduced In congress
a joint resolution providing for the
immediate construction of two bat
tleships equal In size nnd equipment to the
Maine , and ccstlng not a dollar less than
the Ill-fated Maine cost. 'Action ' of that kind
by us would indicate to the world that when
ever cr whrrover one of our ton'aclcs ' was
cut off two would at once grow In. Its place.
Senator Perkins of California , who has
been a navigator all his life and knows
thoroughly every detail In the construction
and handling of great ships , said ;
"I cannot conceive that such an explosion
as that which Is reported to have wrecked
the Maine could have resulted from an acci
dent. The chances , it seems to me , are 999
In 1,000 that the calamity did not result
from accident. It has been suggested that
the explosion might have occurred while
ammunition was being handled , but that
Is scarcely credible as ammunition on a war
ship lying at anchor -is not handled at 10
o'clock at night. Then , too , the ammuni
tion on a war ship is 'fixed ' ammunition ,
which Is not In contact with anything at-all
likely to produce an explosion. Every elec
tric wire and every spark of fireon board
the ship Is far distant from the magazines
and there Is no possibility of danger by
these means being communicated to the am
munition. The discipline of both officers and
men on the Maine as well as on every other
vessel , Is such that the explosion could net
have been caused by any action of any one
of them.
"Tho magazines of the Maine and other
ships of Its class , and the mechanism vhlch
operates them , are constructed wltn all the
nicety ot a watch. By the simple pn-gpu-'o
of an electric button any magazine on hoard
the vessel could bo instantly submerged and
no fire could gain such headway aT to 011-
danger any of the magazines without dis
covery.
"I am firmly of the belief that tlio horror
In Havana harbor last night was not due to
accident. I can scarcely conceive either
that 11 was duo to the treachery of Spanish
olliclals or was brought about 'Iiroujh t'-r-ir '
cognizance. However , the situation In Ha
vana Is so critical , and the Spanish feel
ao keenly what appears to many of thorn
an affront that the Maine should have been
In the harbor , that It sesms not unlikely
the catastrophe was duo to the action of
Spanish sympathizers. That It was not an
accident I fuel assured , and that It was due
to treachery I am convinced. "
Senator Mil.'n of the committee on foreign
relations expressed the opinion that the oc
currence was the work of a torpedo.
Senator Gorman of Maryland : "It Is a
most appalling disaster , but no one attempts
at this distance and bcforo any more facts
are given to place the responsibility. "
Senator Morrlll : "In my opinion tlio oc
currence is the result of an accident. I
have no Idea that any Spaniard had any
thing whatever to do with It. "
Ileprescntatlvo Mercer of Noljcaska Mid
this afternoon : "If the death of 25:1 : Amer
ican tailors can , upon Investigation , bu
traced to Spanish origin , nothing will sat
isfy the American people except war. "
Ileprcsentatlve Cousins of Iowa , a member
of the foreign attain ) committee , declared
that If the Maine has been torpedoed by out
ride agency , that Investigation was bound
to develop that fact. "The fragment ! ) could
not bo destroyed , " said he. "I understand
that no high explosive is allowed to enter
tno harbor of Havana , except that Intended
for the Spanish authorities , an that If It
developed that a torpedo was used Spain will
have to account for It. "
General Joseph Wheeler , the ex-confeder
ate cavalry commander , now a member of
the house from Alabama , sent the following
measago to the president this afternoon :
To the Honorable , the President : In case
of any trouble with Spain , remember that
my tender of services U on Illc at the Wur
lU-partmcnt. JOSEPH WHISEbKU.
Hcprcsenattlve Hllborn of California , who
Is a member of the naval committee , said :
"It la Improbable that the explosion occurred
from within. The magazine may have ex
ploded , ( but If that was so , It was probably
the result of the flrflt explosion on the out
side. There wau nothing In the magazine to
cause an oxplcj'.cn. ' Thcro was nothing but
brown powder , of which there waa 50,000
pounds , which burns , but will not explode
except under conditions not present licra.
It Is Incapable of .belief that the powder ex
ploded. The powder la In metal cases. If
a man got In the magazine he would have to
tear open the esses to act the powder off ,
for which purpose he would have to build
a fire. "

Brigadier General Copplnger , commanding
the Department of the J'latte , tald , when
asked yesterday for some expresrlon on
ihe Cuban situation , that It was Impossible
'or iy armv ofllclal < o make any com
ments on International affaire , and that In
the present strained relation * between Spain
and the United States carcUeti talking might
lo great' Injury. He thinks ( bat Captain
Sigabeo's advice to suspind judgment until
more U luarned concerning flio destruction
of the Maine U very wise. The theory that
experimenting with exploilvfa on board the
Maine wao the cause of the accident General
Copp ! < ngor thinks U Improbable , as experi
ments would scarcely be conducted at that
tlmo of night. Hi says that the accident
could have come- about In much the ram
wfty that calwons explode , when Jarred , nn
that such occurrences can In no way b
guarded against. At that tlmo ot nigh
General Copplngor thinks It likely that mos
of the crow was en bcrd the ve-sael ; tha
where feeling runs as high us It now dor
In Havana the ofilccrn would be very ap
to keep the crew on board chip to proven
them from getting Into trouble. General Cop
plnger expects that a full report ot the nffalt
and a satisfactory report , will bp made b
nlRht. Ho sa'ys that In his memory n credit
able war vessel could bo built for $100.000
but that that aunt would hardly pay for on
gun on n modern man-of-war , and that Hi
loss of such nn expensive and wondrousl ;
constructed vessel was A loss that our nav ;
could HI afford to endure.
General Copplnger mentioned the mlsfor
tune of the English man-of-war , Victorious
In going aground In the Suez canal , and re
marked that It Is often the case that mnn

CHICAGO , Feb. JC. Commodore J. 12
Montgomery , once of the United States navy
a commanding otlleer ot a confederate fice
during the civil war and the man who ralsei
the frigate , afterwards the ram Morrlmsc
was very emphatic today In declaring thi
sinking of the battleship Malnu In 1 In van ;
harbor was the result of tnachcry , and ai
act without parallel In the world's history
In his opinion war must Inevitably follow.
"When the divers go down and examlni
the hull ot the vessel , " o.ild Commodon
Montgomery , "It will be found that It wai
etovo In ty a torpedo , exploded under tin
bow with diabolical Intent. To bo sure , ni
accident may occur on shipboard a maga
zlne or a boiler may explode. But conslde
all the circumstances and you will not cuter
tain the theory of accident. In the hlstor ;
of our navy there never has been such ni
accident. Why should the first one occui
In so perfectly equipped a vessel ns tin
Maine , and under so capable n commandlni
ofllcer ns Slgsbeo. Why should It occur li
HavMia harbor , where the vessel was at tin
mercy of rn enemy capable of treachery , a :
wo know the Spaniard Is. nnd hap been ai
long ns ho has figured In history. Whj
should It follow so clcaely the recent we-
posuro of the Spanish minister to the Unltut
States ns a dwplcable trickster who won
an affable demeanor In WrohlngHm whlli
giving vent to his hatred of our chief exi'cu
tlve nnd our people In private letters U
compatriots ? The combination of facts Is
too strong to leave n doubt. I miss mj
gucas If retribution will not bo swift. "
Commodore Montgomery Is familiar will
Havana harbor. It would bo comparative : ]
easy , he says , with small boats or other'
wise , to ect a torpedo to destroy the Amcrl
can vceciol. This Is his theory of how tin
Maine was wrecked.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 1C. At this inomen
the naval olllcers cannot agree on any thcor ;
to account for the destruction of the Maine
Perhaps a majority are Inclined to the belle
that the explosion wns purely accidental
another considerable number foci that a tor
pedo was exploded under the vessel , and t
third theory Is that some Infernal niachlm
was smuggled aboard the hlp and set tiff
In the present lack of knowledge , It Is no
thought to be possible to say to which theorj
the balance of probability Inclines. An ex
amlnation by a diver of the hull of the Maim
would demonstrate Instantly whether or no
a torppdo had been used , for iu caseIt hac
the plates of the hull would surely be driver
In. On the other hand , protruding plate ;
would be an evidence that the explosion wiu
puicly Internal.
INDIAN.U'OLIS , Ind. , Feb. 1C. Hear Ad
miral George Brown , who was the highest
rlllce ; ' In the navy till hlo retirement lisl :
year , was informed of the naval casually ii
Havana harbor. The- admiral was exceed'
InRly surprised to hear of the destruction ol
the Maine , and from the meager news was
loath to venture any opinion. " 1 can offei
nothing but vague conjecture as to the prob
able cause of the destruction of the Maine
-although It would aeom to me at this tlrm
that when nn Investigation is nlade It wll
bo found that nn explosion occurred on tin
vessel. "
The admiral was aoked If It was possible
that a torpedo lylne In the harbor couK
have hcen accidentally exploded under the
ship. Ho illil not think this could have bee :
possible. "If a torpedo caused the nxploalor
It must have been sent from shore , for tor
pedoes are not lying around loose In Havana
1'arbor , where hundreds of ships are In am ;
out.
out."I
"I am sure no offlclal had anything to dc
with it If n torpedo was responsible. Oh ,
no. " naid he , "there could have been no ex
plosion of a torpedo by the dragging of the
Maine's anchor or anything of that sort.
Nor are there any submerged mines In the
harbor. I don't recall any similar affair ol
this kind In the history of the United States
navy , either In tlmo of peace or In time ol
war. "
BOSTON , Fob' 1C. Rear Admiral George
Bclkuap , U. S. N , retire. ! , salil today that
! 'e was Inclined to think the Maine was
blown up by a tcrpodo.
"I do not see. " he said , "how an explosion
cf the forward magazine could have oc
curred. The koj.s of the magazine are al
ways kojit. In the custody 'of the captain.
Ail the ammunition Is carefully cafcd ,
mcatly in the form of projectiles ! , nnd their
explosion by themselves Is next to impos
sible. If , as the dUtulclipti state , the whole
bow of the ship was 'blown ' off , It Is apparent
that the explosion could not have been
caused by the boilers or tbo coal getting
hcatC'J. I do net ace hew It could lavn : oc
curred from the paint rcom. as every pre
caution is taken to prevent the collection
of explosive gases In the paint room , -ind
If such an explosion occurred It wouH have
been more likely to have ojuscj a fire than
des'rny the ship. "
Hear Admiral Belknap said It was n very
Klgnlfipint thing 'that the Maine should have
been blown up In that particular harbor
at this particular time. In the .abRsnce ol
Information as to the 'cause of the oxplo-
alon ho thought that was the mcs-t signifi
cant Indication In the whole matter.
NJ3W YOltK , Feb. II ! . Itcar Admiral K-- :
