Havana harbor. Many are killed or

All the boats of the Spauish cruiser

As yet the cause of the explosion is
not apparent.
The wounded sailors of the Maine
are unable to explain it. It is believed
the cruiser is totally destroyed.
Tho explosion shook the whole city.
The windows were broken iu alt the
houses.
Tho correspondent of the Associated
Press says he has conversed with sev
eral of the wounded sailors and under
stands from them that the explosion
took place while they were asleep so
that, they can give no particulars as to
the cause.
TntetlSti Exeiteihent.
The w ildest consternation prevailed
in Havana. The wharves were crowded
with thousands of people. It is be
lieved the explosion occurred in a
small powder magazine.
At a quarter of 11 o’clock what re
mained of the Maine was still burn

100 of /thf crew were killed, but exact
detail-#’ a-e lacking.
Manterola ordered boats of
woiflH|]if, dl^HOI t" The assist Havana the Maine firemen and also her
gave mJ, tending carefully to the
wounded is they were carried on
shore.
General Solano and the other gener
als were ordered by Captain General
Blanco to take steps to help tho
Maine’s crew in every way possible.
Captain Sigsbee says the explosion
occurred in the bow- of the vessel. He
received a wound in the bead. Orders
were given to the other officers to save
themselves as best they could. The
latter, who were literally thrown from
their bunks in their night clothing,
gave the necessary orders with great
self-possession and bravery.
CAPTAIN SIGSBEE REPORTS.

and Asks for Help.
The secretary of the navy at Wash
ington received the following tele
gram from Captain Sigsbee:
“Maine blown up in Havana harbor at
9:40 o’clock ami destroyed. Many wounded
and doubtless more killed and drowned.
Wounded and others on board Spanish man
of-war and Ward line steamer. Send light
house tenders from Key West for crew and

No one had other clothes than those upon
him.
“Public opinion should be suspended til

Tliceecretary of the navy received
another dispatch from Key West at
the same time with the above, but its
contents were not made public.
The orders for the lighthouse tend

A number of men, estimated at be
tween twenty and thirty, who were
fishing through the ice on Lake Erie
several miles up the lake, are believed
to have lost their lives or are adrift.
A heavy wind blowing from the east
caused the ice to break away from the

the letter was addressed, the epistle
written by Senor Dupuy DeLome,
which led to the resignation of the

The transaction is explained in the

the state department:
“Recognizing that the legal ownership of
the DeLome letter is in Mr. Canalejas, and
his agent and attorney, Mr. Carlisle, having
presented proper authority to receive the
same, the letter was delivered to him to

Mr, Carlisle was fully authorized to
