LINCOLN , Feb. 19. ( Special. ) Them Is a
suspicion that the matter of obtaining requi
sitions for the return of criminals from other
fitatos U being taken advantage of by per
sons wdoAM Interested In the settlement of
private claims rather llian the punishment
of guilty pcrsom. tills , In spite of the oath
taken In each case that the return of fugi
tives la not sought for the purpose of collect
ing a debt. This abuse of the requisition law
Is especially noticeable. In Lancaotcr county
costo. Since January 1 , 1803 , thcco have
been thirteen requisitions IMUCI ! for persons
wauled In tlilK county. The first , Albtrt
Whlpple , was brought back from Missouri
on n charge ot having obtained money unilcr
fnUo pretenses. The otato raid the cxpenne
of bringing him back , but there la nothing
on the county or district court record to
show that ho was tried or punished , and the
supposition Is tin I ho nettled the claim
snd wcfl dismissed. Charles Shumate was
brought back from Texas hi January , 1895 ,
to nnawer for seduction. The expense waj
light , but Shumate was never brought to
trial , J. A. Clark was brought bacl : from
Missouri on a chcrgo of having removed
nicrtgflgccl property , but the records liow he
was never brought to trial. J. It. Carter , on
n similar charge wan returned from Mlrsourl ,
tried and acquitted. W. 13. Hart , charged
with embezzlement , woo In Indiana , und
P A. Oraham , mayor of Lincoln , applied for
the pi'lvllege of going after film. This cass
V.MR dIsmL'ecd without trial after the state
had been put to a considerable expense.
1'Vanz Krltchle , also charged with embez
zlement , was biouRht back from Missouri ,
and discharged. Harry Knox , for being Im
plicated In a stabbing affray , was brought
back from Colorado , and given a Jail sentence
of thirty days.
Of the thirteen offenders returned to Lan-
ccnter county on retiulsltlciiH In 'tho period
mentioned , throe have been eent to Hie penl-
tentlcry , two are held awaiting trial , and
one , charged with embezzlement , has been
bound over to the district court. The others
nro at liberty. The olllclals have had some
pleasant trips , a few private clalmn hove
been nettled and the state has cbouldeced
a largo bill of expense.
Slnco January 1 , 1803 , there have boon
thrty-cilno ; persons brought back to thu otato
on requisitions asked for from DougMs
county. Very few of these have found their
way Into the penitentiary. The state offi
cials have decided that hereafter the appli
cations for requisitions will be more clonely
inquired Into , no matter from what county
they come.
CAN GRAHAM ACT ?
Lawyers and citizens of this city nre dis
cussing the question of whether Mayor
Oraham has n right to discharge his duties
as mayor of the city pending the considera
tion by the city council of the Impeachment
charges made against him by the council-
manic Investigating committee. A special
meeting of the council was held Wednesday
msrnlng to receive the report of the Investi
gating commltteo which had been at work
for about two weeks. As stated In The
HP ? , the committee recommended that Im
peachment proceedings bo Instituted against
II. II. Valll , a member of the Excise beard ,
nnd Mayor Oraham. Nothing was said as
to who should act as mayor while the Im-
pcMchmnnt proceedings were pending , but It
was generally supposed that Mayor Graham
would turn the ofllce over to the president
of the council until some decision had brim
reached by that -body. A number of people
are of the opinion that the president of the
council should act as mayor until the mat
ter ! s settled , but several lawyers have In
vestigated the matter and It appears that
there Is no provision In the statutes that re
lates to cases of this kind. The statutes pro
vide , however , that when the mayor Is
unable to perform -thp duties of his olHco or
when bo Is disabled the president of the
council shall take his place and exercise the
same authority as the mayor.
The Impeachment charges against tha
mayor will not be considered 'by the coun
cil until March 3 , and until and during the
consideration 'Mayor ' Graham will probably
remain In ofllce. 'Mr. ' Graham refuses to
talk of the matter or to say what he Intends
to do. There has been some talk of an ef
fort to enjoin the council from considering
the charges , but the plan has been dropped.
The council has full power to go ahead with
the proceedings. U Is beginning to look
rather serious for the accused city officials.
The city council Is composed of fourteen
members. Four of them are known to be
staunch supporters of the city administra
tion and they will undoubtedly vote against
Impeachment , however serious 'tho charges
may he. Seven members are pretty likely
to vote for Impeachment If the charges al
ready made arc proved to be true. Of the
other 'three two are pretty likely to bo
. .Influenced 'by political reasons. They are
candidates for oflleo and the will of the
people will have a great deal to do toward
Influencing their votes.

CHURCH SENSATION.

Spantah navy said the loss of so many brave
men and eo fine a ship Is an appalling catao
trophe. "Tho American navy and people

The Idea that the Maine uaa destroyed by
treachery was scorned , Not an officer on
board would fcr a moment entertain any'
solution of the dlraster except that It was
caused through accident ,
"Such things fiavo happened , " an officer
would say. "It Is terrible , but It Is part of

No ono could bo found on board who evi

WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. The Interesting
feature of the day's news at the Navy do-
partmcnt was the- decision of the govern
ment declining to allow concurrent Investi
gations of the cause of the Malno disaster ,
for Its own part making an Independent In
quiry through the naval court of Inquiry nl-
rc.vly appointed , while permitting the
Spanish authorities to niako such Investiga
tion as they desire. This arrangement com
mended Itself to naval men alike as fair to
all , and at the s.ame tlmo calculated to de
velop the exact facts In a manner that
could not bo questioned.
Secretary Long and Assistant Secre
tary Day of the State department , Imd
an Interview with the president this
morning which lasted nearly an hour. Mr.
Day read a cablegram from Consul General
Lee at Havana transmitting a request from
the Spanish authorities In Cuba that the
Spanish officials be permitted to join with
our people In making an Investigation Into
the causa ot the disaster to the Maine.
The matter was discussed nt considerable
length and the conclusion was reached and
General Lee will be so notified that while
this government Is willing to afford the
Spanish authorities all reasonable facilities
for conducting an Investigation , yet It Is
thought best the first Inquiry shall bo made
by our own commissioners. The request of
the Spanish authorities therefore will be
respectfully declined.
The request ot the Spanish government
for permission to examine the wreck of the
Malno reached the State department last
night through the following nlcssagc from
Consul General Lee :
HAVANA , Feb. 18. Slgsbec begins tomor
row with divers sent him from the United
States to recover nil bodies still left In
wreck of Maine , as well an personal effects
of ollleers and men nnd whatever else can
be obtained that way. After that Is com
pleted the Spanish government would like
to unite with ours In having the bottom of
ship nnd hnrbor In the vicinity Jointly ex
amined.
The following Is the answer sent :
WASHINGTON , Feb. 19. The government
of the United States has already begun nn
Investigation ns to the causes of the ills-
aster to the Maine , through ollleers of the
navy especially appointed for that purpose ,
which will proceed Independently. This gov
ernment will nffonl every facility It cnn to
the Spanish authorities In whatever Investl-
Ifutlon they may see III to make upon their
part. DAY.
REMOVES ONE DIFFICULTY.
The apparent difficulty attending the send
ing down of the divers to the Maine was
relieved , If not entirely i removed , by a
statement today by Senoi ; du jBose , charge
d'affaires of the Spanish i legation , that a
complete and harmonious understanding be
tween Captain Slgsbeo and the authorities
at Havana had been reached on the matter
of divers and that the Spanish authorities
viewed the Maine ns extra-territorial , that
Is , a part of the sovereign territory ot the
United States , the same as a lUnlted States
legation situated In foreign territory. With
the Maine holding Its status as extraterritorial
torial , all doubts as to the work on the
wreck were removed. ' '
The waters of Havana harbor arc , of
.course , Spaflsh territory , and some confusion
had been -aroused by the Idea that this
jurisdiction o\cr the waters [ attached also
to the wreck In Its present Ilelplces condl-
dltlon at the' bottom of thoabay. It" ap
pears , however , that there ls.no disposition
to extend this jurisdiction to the ship and
that the Spanish authorities freely assent
to the Maine being regarded as extra
territorial , and under the Immediate direc
tion of Captain SIgsbce , as the representa
tive of the United States. According to the
view taken by the Spanish authorities there

Captain Slgsbee will be recognized as the
ono to direct operations and to send down
the government divers for such Inspection
as ho sew proper to mako. Mr. du Boec
feels assured , however , that 'Captain Slgsbee
will extend equal facilities to the Spanish
divers , so that the Inspections may proceed
together. As to what divers Captain Slgsbe-e
will employ , the feeling among the Spanish
officials hero is that this will be wholly a
matter of discretion with Captain Slgsbec
as the erne In charge of a piece of property
having the attributes of American soil. But
at the same time the feeling Is expressed
that this discretion will lead to the choice
of authorized dlvcra of itho Navy depart

CAN BE CONDUCTED RAPIDLY.
The board will proceed to Havana. At that
place the wesrk can bo conducted rapidly tea
a finish with the assistance of Captain Slgs
bee and the Information gathered by the
divers from the wreck.
Touching this question of examination of
the wreck by the divers , the naval officials
believe that there Is no cause for appre
hension as to the fairness and completeness
of the Investigation. Captain Slgsbeo has
telegraphed that ho had made arrangements
with the Spanish officials for the prosecu
tion of this Inquiry and that there is no
friction , so that the. officials believe that
there Is no reason now to Interfere with the
naval officer In the discharge of his duty.
As the iNnvy department Is still besieged
with applications for the return of the
bodies of the Main victims to the United
States for burial , and as the matter has
figured In congress , It may be well to note
that Captain ISlgsbeo. for at least a third
tlmo. In answer to questions , has expressed
the opinion that the 'bodies cannot bo re
moved from Havana. He has pointed out
that their condition IB not such as to per
mit removals ; that embalming Is only Im
perfectly done In Havana and that Identifica
tion of the bodies In many cases Is not oven
possible. This morning he telegraphed that
the bodies of the two officers , Merrltt and
Jenkins , could not bo found and repeated
that it would bo Impracticable to remove
bodies. Some of the surgical officers hero
say that they know by experience that Cap
tain Slgtfbeo's conclusion In sound and they
say that successful embalming Is not pos
sible where the clrculitory ° ! system of the
body has been destroyed'as'1 ; in the case of
the mangled victims of' the1 Maine.

WOODFORD.
The view taken by the Spanish authorities
that the wreck of the Malno Is extraterri
torial , n part of the sovereign neil ot the
United States , promises to establish an Im
portant precedent In International lawa The
authorities agree that a war ship , while
afloat , retains the territorial statutes of Its
own government , even when In foreign
waters. But the writers do not dlscuts cases
analogous to that of the * Maine , wherein the
sovereignty ot the chip Is retained after It
becomes a wreck.
Woleey's International law says that war
ships axe , as It were , floating barracks , a
part of the public organism , and represent
the national dignity , and on the sen , even
In foreign waters , are exempt from local Ju
risdiction. It la on account ot the crew ,
rather than the ship Itself , that It hns cny
territorial quality. Take the crew away and
let the abandoned hulk bo met at sea and U
becomes public property nnd nothing more.
The Geneva court of arbitration held that
the extra territorial character of a war ship
was not on absolute right of International
law , but was a custom of courtesy and uni
versal acceptance. The custom Is observed
by all nations and has como to be jealously
protected. But Its usual application has boon
to ships afloat , pursuing tliclr usual mission
ns naval representatives of governments ,
A case somewhat resembling that ot the
Maine la mentioned In Hall's International
law. In that case the United Slates frigate
Constitution went ashore In 1879 nt Swanagc ,
on the Welsh coast , whllo bringing from the
Parts exposition some ot the United Stales
government's exhibit. Some local wreckers
got It cff nnd libelled It for pay. The United
States government Insisted that the ship was
extra territorial and not under the local jur
isdiction. The British government sustained
this view.
The application of this doctrine to the
wreck ot the Maine Is felt to bo Important ,
not only In Its Influence In giving Captain
Slgsbeo control of all wrecking operations ,
but also In giving to the work the character
of a transaction on Anwrloan territory.
RELIEF FOR TILE FAMILIES.
There was a good deal of talk among the
officials ofthe need of speedy relief measures
for the benefit of the families of the ex
plosion victims. Under the treasury rules
the allotments of portions of pay to mem
bers of their families made by the men who
perished In the wreck must stop at once.
It Is not doubted that congress will do ns
It did In 'tho case of the Samoan disaster-
provide for n year's pay to the families of
the sailors who died at their posts , The
difficulty , however , Is that such a measure
cannot bo passed at once , and meantime
some of the famllles-ot the dead Bailers maybe
bo In great distress.
The subject has been taken up by Mr.
Long , and ho has' called a meeting for Mon
day to Initiate the * movement. It happens
that ty the rare chance of nn unexpected
change of paymasters recently very little
of the pavings of the Maine's sailors went
down in the vessel. About two weeks ago
Paym.icter Llttlefleld of the Maine was re
lieved by Paymaster Ray. The former came
to Washington and had settled the accounts
of the ship up to the tlmo he left. The rec
ord shows that Paymaster Ray had on hand
In his safe only about $3,000 In cash , prob
ably gold , nnd a check for $ C,000 , which , of
course , Is safe enough without his endorse
ment azalnst loss.
Slnco the spontaneous combustion theory
has como so prominently to the front as ac
counting for the disaster , the officials have
been looking over the records to find a
parallel case , as near us may be. The Ilag-
sblp New York w a discovered to bo on llro
March 9 , 189C. Smoke was Issuing from Its
main magazine. This was cleared of powder
siifely , and it was found that the woodwork
had been charred deeply. The cause was not
at lire * percoptiDie , out it was soon discov
ered that an adjoining coal bunker was
burning. When the bunker wai opened the
coal on top was not hot , but as the men dug
down It was found to bo rcdhot Inside. There
was no manifestation of heat on top of tlio
bunker , , nor on any side save the one next
the magazine. That startled the naval offi
cers , nnd the constructors made a considera
ble air space between the bunkers and the
magazine.
In the designing ot the now bntleshlp now
on the docks , the lessonwas kept In mind ,
and everything possible was done to Isolate
the coal bunkers from the magazines.
Secretary Long has given orders that with
the expiration/ / this day there need be ob
served no longer the order to all ships and
commands to display the natiomJ colors at
half mast.
There Is no abatement of the talk of the
expediency of raising the Maine. Chief Con
structor Hlchborn Is one of the most
earnest advocates of the resurrection of the
ship. He points out that the ship lies In n
land-locked tarbor , easy for the wreckers
to operate In , and that If It can be rebuilt
at a cost of $1,000,000 , the government will
rave $4,000,000 upon the first cost of
auch a battleship with all of Its equipment.
Great Britain , he said , never abandoned a
ship if there was the least chance to save
It , and has not yet even abandoned the hop ?
of raising tbo ill-fated Victoria , sunk In
collision with the Catnperdown off the coast
of Syria several years ago.
Commander Francis Dickens , the chief of
the bureau of navigation , and Secretary
Long's right hand man In the present
emergency , said : "The Maine must bo taken
to an American port If there Is enough of
Its bones holding together warrant re
moval , and la all likelihood that will be
done. If the ) explosion were more disastrous
than Is now thought to bo the cose , if the
hull Is so wrecked as to be beyond repair ,
then as much of the material as can be
secured will bo brought home and placed
In a new Maine.
"It Is to be remembered that great ad
vances have been made In ehlpbulldlng since
the Maine was designed , and a finer ship
to bear Its name could be built today , but it
would take time , and if any considerable
portion of the ship Is good , with a modern
ized battery and Improvements In rebuild
ing the destroyed portions , a magnificent
vessel can be quickly secured. "
Chief Engineer Melville has decided vlewn
In favor of the proposition to rebuild the
Malno.
"Even suppose this costs $1,000,000 , " r.ald
ho , "a new ship equal to the Malno would
ccst nearly $5,000,000 , The repairs could be
made and the tulp put In service again In a
year at the furthest. To build a new ship
like it would take at least three years.
"With regard to the practicability of rais
ing the vessel It la to be remarked that
larger vessels have been raised which were
at sea , where they were- exposed to waves ,
whllo the Maine is In a perfectly quiet hcr-
bor , one end resting In the mud and part of
the other end above water.
"The Malno is In a tfiallow spot , protected
as a mill pond , and It Is only a C,000-ton ahlp ,
The British armor-clad Howe , of over 10,000
tons , was raided off Ferrol , Spain , In the open
ocean , and H , M. S. Sultan , or over 9,000 tons ,
Wai caved after It cank In the Comlno chan
nel. "
O.-ders have been Issued for the enlistment
of 300 men for the navy to fill the vacancies
caused by the destruction of the battleship
Maine , and to complete the legal quota. The
new men will bo sent to receiving ships from
where they will bo sent to ships lo com
mission wherever needed.
The contract for the work of saving portions
tions of the Malno , and , If possible , raising
It , warf not closed today , although represent
atives of wrecking concerns were In confer
ence with Navy department officials through
out the day. Captain Lemley , who will
frame the contract , said that progress had
been made toward the general plan of oper
ation , but a final agreement hod not been
reached.
UntlJ today the Merrlam & Chapman
Wrecking company and the Boston Towboat
company have been alone In the field , and
tlio department undcretanda they have com
bined their Interests , This would have In
sured the government tha double facilities
of these extensive wreckern and would have
given them the contract. But today the
Luckenbach Wrecking company of New
York entered upon a competition for the
work , and before the day close-d It had made
a bid. The , other concerns did not bid to
day , but expect to do * 9 Monday.
R , G. Packard , a wrecking engineer , wag
piesent at the conference and urged the con
tract should bo divided Into two parta : First ,
the caving of uuch parts as can bo detached ,
and second , the raising 'of thu bull. Ho also
made the point that the removal of the
Maine as an obstruction to navigation was
a duty Incumbent on this government , and
that the coat of that branch of the work
would bo one-half as much as the cost of
saving portloni of the ship. The department
Ii desirous , however , of having the work
done as a whole , and such bid ai la accepted

HAVANA. Fch. 19. Captain C. n. Slgs-

today with the corespondent ot the Associ

the Maine the effects of such an explosion
are not for a moment In doubt.
