Terrible Disaster in the
Harbor of Havana.
ONE OF THE MEST VESSELS
In the United States Navy De
stroyed, and Many of Her >len
Killed or Wounded.
HAVANA, Feb. 15.-At a quar
ter of 10 o'clock tlii? evening a
terrible explosion look place on
board the United States cruiser
Maine in Havana harbor. Many
are killed or wounded. All Hie
boats of the Spanish cruiser Al
fonso XIII are assisting. Asyetl
the cause of the explosion is not j
apparent. The wounded sailors o?"]
the Maine are unable to explain it. '
rt is believed that the cruiser is j
totally destroyed.
The explosion shook tho whole
city. The windows were broken
m al! the houses.
The correspondrait of Ibo xVsso
ciated Press says ho bas cjnversecV
with several of the wounded sail
ors, abd understands from them
that fie explosion took place
while they w.-re a.-?e^?., so that,
they can give no particulars as to
the cause.
The wildest consternation pre
vails in Havana. The wharves aro
crowded with thousands of propio.
It is believed tho explosion occur
red in a small powder magazine.
Capt. Sigsbee and the oilier offi
cers have been saved. It is esti
mated that over 200 of the crew
were killed, but ii is impossible as
yet to give exact: details.
Admiral M au tero] a has ordered j
that boats ot ail kinds should go
to the assistance of the Maine and
her wounded.
The Havana firemen are giving
.lid, tending carefully to the
wounded ns they ure brought on
shore.
It is a terrible sight. Gen. So
lano and tho other generals have
been ordered by Captain General
Blanco to take steps to help the
Maine's crew in every way possible,
rhe correspondent of . the Asso
ciated. Press has been near the
Maine in one of the boats of the
?ruise? Alfonso and seen others of
;he wounded, who corroborate the
statement of those first interviewed
;hat they were already asleep v. hen
;he explosion occurred.
Capt. Sigsbee says the explosion
)ccurred in the bow of the vpss'd.
??.Q received awouuci in the head.
Drders were given to the other offi
;ers to save "themselves as best
hey could. The latter, who were
iterally thrown from their huokf
a their night clothing, gave Ihr
accessary orders with groat sel<
)ossession and braver}'.
The first theory was that there
lad been a preliminary explosiou
u the Saura Barbara (magazine)
nth powder or dynamite below
he water.
Admiral Manterola believes the
[rat explosion was of a grenad'
hell that was hurled over the
iavy yard.
Secretary Long received Capt. j i
iigsbee's dispatch but a few min
ies before the Associated Press j
.ispatches from Havana were ^
lauded bim. He received the t
;ews with apparent calm, and hi? <.
rst act was to comply with Capt. 1
igbee's request that assistance ^
e sent from Key West. He im- c
mediately wired Capt. Forsythe, at
ley West, to proceed with the
aval tender Fern to Havana har
or. Secretary Long then sent for
apt. Dickens, and the two dis- \
ii^sed Capt. Sigsbee's brief tele- !
ram. No other naval officers ?
ere present, and besides the ?
ecretary and Capt. Dickens the
?val colony here is ignorant of
ais disaster, the greatest which I
as befallen the American uavj
?nee the disaster at Apia some ''
ears ago. The Secretary is in
ined to believe that most of the 0
Heers were on sher'1 at the time t
I the accident, aa it was still
irly in the night. While nei'her
io Secretary nor Capt. DickenH ,
.e inclined to discuss the probabh ?,
tuse of the accident, several sug- i
estions were ventured upon. 0
hey believe that it may have [
?en caused by a fire in the bun
?rs, heating the bulk-head near a i,
agazmo, or that an accident may ai
ive occurred while inspecting ::
gh explosives for torpedoes. Ol
lurse, this is mere speculation,
id the Secretary i? anxiously
raiting a more detailed report
Dm Capt. Sigsbee. <
[E SAILORS SAY THAT IT WAS A *
TORPEDO.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Feb. 16.
special.to tho Times-Union and
tizen from Key West, Fla., says :
ie steamship Olivette arrived rr
re to-night with a large number Ai
j of wounded and many other sur
I vivorB of the Maine disaster. The
offioers wen., as a rule, reticent,
and followed in line with their
chief, Sigsbee, in saying that the
cause of the explosion could only
bo ascertained ?y divers, but
many of the sailors were outspoken
in their declaration of belief that
the explosion was a deep laid plot
j of the Spaniards. They are greatly
incensed against the Havana peo
ple, who have shown them small
courtesy, who looked upon their
presence as a Dat ional affrout, and
who have published annonymous
circulars captioned "Down with
Americians." They believe that
the author of such expressions of
cowardly hatred would not stop
it an act of such terrific vengence
as the blowing up of the Maine.
These sailors, acquainted with the
drill?, discipline and ensemble of
? mau of war, pooh-pooh the idea
of an internal explosion as the last
thing to lin thought of.
SCOVELL SUPPOSITIONS.
NEW YORK, Feb 19-A cablegram
from Sylvester Scovel to the
Evening World under today's
date from Havana via Key "West.
says :
'The concensus of opinion of
those who have studied the wreek
closest is now that the explosion
was caused by a submarine mine.
; he forward magazine, it is now
generally supposed ie intact, also
the forward G-iuch magazines.
This leaves only a few saluting
charges and a few small calibre
shelis in the pilot house, which
could possibly havo exploded
abosird the ship. At 1 ho same
time tho fearful damage is loo big
for any but an extremely large
torpedo. If it was a torpedo, the
di.ers will find tho torpedo
fragmentSjbut if it was a submarine
mine no traces would be found.
All the American officers are
internally boiling; thpro is not
ono or' thom from Capt. S ig-bee
down who is not firmly convinced
a government submarine mine did
it.
"The Spanish dailies are loudly
clamoring 'accident, accideut,'
win n even now the fact is known
that the whole middle deck which
was blown straight up, never had
an ounce of ship's powder under
it, and that, was where the first
flame wag seen."
EXPLOSION WAS SOMETHING BEYOND
M^X'S DESCRIPTION.
HAVANA, F-'b. 19.-Capt. Sigsbee
of thu bo.ttl-x*hi|>-Maix?p,-irx au
interview today with fhe corres
pondent of the As?ociated Press,
described in detail the explosion,
which destroyed the great ship:
"On the night of the explosion,"
said Capt. Sigsbee. "I had not.
r.'iired. [was writing letters. I
i nd it impossible to describe the
.ound or shock, but i bc impressiou
remains nf something awe inspir
ing, nerve-rending, vibrating, all
pervading. There in no!hing in
the formei experience of any one
on board lo measure the explosion!
.. Viler the first greal shock T can-!
lui myself recall IIJW many'
sharper detonations I heard, not]
mor? than two or three, I knew
my ship wns gone. In such a
structure as the Maine, the eln.-cts
if such an explosion are not for
i moment in doubt.
"1 made my way through the nas
?ag>>, in the dark, groping from
side to side, to the hatchway and
heneo t i the poop, being among
:he earliest to reach that spot. So
joon as I recognized the officers,
L ordered the high expolsives to be
looded and then directed that the
)oats available be lowered to
.escue tho wounded or drowning
discipline, in a perfect measure
jrevailcd. There was no more
ioufusion than a call to general
tuarters vrould pro luce ; notas
?J uch.
"I soon saw by the light of the
lames that a 1 my officers and
irew left alive and on board,
iurrounded me. I cannot form
my idea of the time, but it seemed
ive minutes from the time I
cached the poop uutil we left, the
ast man it was possible to .reach
laving been saved. It must have
>een three-quarters of an hour or
nore, however, from the amount
f work done.
"I remember the officers and
11 f * i j worked together lowering the
loats and that the gig look some
?me t_> lewer.
"I did not notice the rain of
. ?bris described by Lieut. Blandin
nd others who were on deck
t tiie time of lim first explosion,
ut [ did observe the explosion of
?ie field ammunition and wondered
Ml more were not hurt thereby.
"Without going beyond the
?mils of what was pro,>er in the
arbor of a foreign power, I always
lain-tain precautions against
ttack and the quarter watch was
rdcred lo have ammunition for
ie smaller guns ready to hand, so
i;it in the improbable event of an
ttack on the ship it would have
sen found ready. It was this
mmunil ion which exploded as the
eat reached it.''

ONE OF TWO WATS.
The bladder was created for one pur-,
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, andas such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womo, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may bc as easily
avoided. Po find out correctly, set
your urine aside for 24 hour; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
ized, if you need a medicine ycu
should have the best. At druggists,
price fifty cents and one dollar.

EDWARD W. SeOTT.
PRESIDENT.
Issues all Forms of Policies
at Lowest Possible Kates
Consistent with Safety.
THE substantial and steady growth of the PROVIDENT SAV
INGS LIFE during the past fifteen years, demonstrates that
its forms of protection have been appreciated by the public.
The Society has boen the pioneer in creating the plans of modern
tild-line life assurance. It maintains that no oue plan of assurance
will meet the requirements of all men ; therefore, every forj] of policy
,vhich it is-m^s was prepared to supply the needs of some special class
of assurers. Ail it?* plans are peculiarly Provident Savings, and are
of exceptional merit.
The PROVIDENT has, from the outset, been a strong
advocate of assurance for th* purpose of protection,
and has eliminated, as far as possible, from its poli-j
cies all speculative features, providing reliable assurance
for the lowest premiums possible. The financial diffi
culties of the past few years have caused business
men to question the wisdom of paying unnecessarily
high premiums ; or a conditional deposit for an un
.certain return.
The act of securing a policy of lite assurance is the
performance of a duty From a business standpoint
lifo assurance is more essential than fire assurance,
because-property may burn, but mau must die.
The policies of the PROVIDENT SAVINGS are
better, clearer in phraseology, and freerffrom condi
tions and technicalities, than those issued by any
similar institution.
Persons desiring Life Insurance would do well to
consult me before seeking a policy elsewhere, BB I
know the Provident tc be a thoroughly reliable old
line company, and issues as good if uot a better Policy,
and at more satisfactory rates, than any other com
pany in the laud.

rhe Johnston Institute,
PHERE are schools and schools, but there are some reasons why you should
patronize the Johnston Institute :
st.-Johnston is a healthful location, on the famous "Ridge," which com
prises portions of Aiken, Edgefield, Lexington and Saluda Counties. It
is absolutely free from malaria. The same diurnal range of temperature
as Santa Barbara, Cal.
Ind.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar
rooms or vicious company to degrade the students.
?rd._The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for
young men and Rebecca Motte Hall for young ladie?. Ir: tiiese Halls the
students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their
studies. '
h.-The Institute is conducted ona Military basis. Boys are permitted, but
not required, to wear uniforms. This uniform is cheap, handsome and
durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until
he first learns to obey well.
th.-Our eourse of study is thorough, practical and progressive. We flt stu
dents for life, as College Diplomas are issued to those who deserve them.
Uh_YV> have Special Departments offering superior instructions in Book
keeping, Punting and Music. Call and seo the character of work done.
Our rooms are open to inspection.
h._We have a big school. There is something stimulatingand inspiringabout
large schools, because rhildren learn not only from books but by ab
sorption.
th._We have eleven teachers, S. M. Martin, John Lake, A. J. Reamy, C. C.
Herbert, Miss A. S. Arnold, Miss Sophie Swearin^en, Mrs. L. C.Latimer,
Miss Sue Sloan, Mrs. S. S. Cobb, Mrs. J. II. White, Mrs. A. J. Reamy. We
will add more if necessary.
th.-Our School is un4er Christian influence, but strictly unsectarian. 3^q
narrow denominational lines are drawn.
tjj,_We are giving the best possible education at the least possible cost.
The Institute is the school for the people. Board and tuition from $10
to $12 per month, according to ?rade. Provisions taken in payment of
board. Students received at any time. For further information address
