Court of Inquiry Appointetl.
Washington, Feb. 17.—The gov
ernment has settled back into
a waiting attitude in respect to
the terrible marine disaater in
Havana harbor. The great shock
caused by the news has given way
to a calmer aud more judicial
state of mind aud realizing from
the events of the day that the
court of inquiry is the sole de
pendence in the search for the
cause of the Maine’s loss, the
naval officers are now resigned to
await the results of that inquiry by
a court named to-day by the navy
department. There was little new
to add to the sum of information
ae to the disaster during the fore
noon. No telegrams came and all
that could be gleaned was a denial
of some absurd story or other that
had crept into print or become
current gossip. Theonly cables in
the late afternoon were Capt. Sigs-
bee’s report of the authorization of
the funeral of his dead sailors and
Gen. Lee’s graphic story of the
terrible struggle for life in the
dark hull of the Maine.
The officials at the navy depart
ment devoted the day to the effort
to correct the lists of living and
dead; to answering frantic tele
graphic appeals from relativei of
men on the battleship and last,
but not least, in meeting with un
wavering courtesy aud patience
the exacting demauda upon their
time of the press representatives.
The disposition of the survivors,
Capt. Dickens, acting chief of the
navigation bureau, has arranged
for aa well as could be at thie dis
tance. The wounde# sailors in the
Havana hospitals, on the Spanish
flagship and elsewhere, when not
in condition to be brought back to
Key West, will be carefully look
ed after by Miss Clara Bartoa,
who has been given oarte blanche
to buy any and everything neces
sary, food, clothing, delicacies and
hire of nurses and physicians. The
wounded able to get across
to Key West, will be taken care of
in the marine hospital there.
The sound survivors will be
quartered m the spare army bar
racks there. As for the Maine,
herself, notwithstanding discoar
aging reports from Lieat. Hood as
to her condition, the navy depart
ment will make the effort to raise
her. While this is required by
every creditable sentiment, they
say that they are bound to remove
the hull from the small harbor m
any case, and it may be as easy or
easier to raise her as it wonld be
to destroy the hall and machinery
by the use of divers and dynamite-
It is believed this work can best
be done by private wrecking cor
porations, and negoliations ars al
ready on foot for placing the con
tract, based on work by the day,
at an estimated cest of 9200,000.
At the navy department specific
denial was given of the report em
anating from Madrid that a tor
pedo flotilla was about to leave
Key West for Cuba. It was stated
that only two torpedo boats, the
Cashing and the Eriscsen, are at
Key West, and these have not been
ordered to Cuba. It was strongly
asserted that no present purpose
existed of sending any warship
there.
Havana, Feb. 17.—The inter
ment of the martyrs of the Maine
took place this afternoon about 5
o’clock. Shortly before the hour
Havana was in movement. The
flags on tbe public buildings were
at half mast, ai d many of the
honsea were draped in mourning.
All classes were represent'd in the
throngs that filled tbs streets
along which the fnnsral procession
passed to the cemetery.
Washington, Feb. 17.—The navy
department received a dispatch
this morning from Admiral Si card
in command of the North Atlantic
squadron, giving the detail of the
court of inquiry to investigate the
Maine disaater«s follows:

the court; Capt. Chadwick, Lieu

the many remarkable cures per
formed by Botanic Blood Balm
(“B. B. B.”) that it is far the best
tonic aud blood purifier ever man
ufactured. All otheis pale into
insignificance, when compared
with it. It cures pimples, ulcers,
skin diseases, and all manner of
blood and skin ailments. Boy

A BAD CASE CURED.
Three years ago 1 contracted a
blood poison. I applied to a
physician at once, aud his treat
ment came near killing ms. I
employed an old physician and
then went to Kentucky. I then
went to Hot Springs and remained
two months. Nothing seemed to
cure me permanently, although
temporary relief was given me.
I returned home a ruined man
physically, with but little pros
pect of ever getting well. I was
persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.,) and to my utter
astonishment it quickly healed
every ulcer.

Not Alt
often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that woman suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as tbe men. The
womb is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, and for that rea
son any distress, disease or inconve
nience manifested in the kidneya,
back, bladder or urinary passage la of
ten, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some
tort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment
you have pain or dull aching in tbe
back, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply, with smarting or horn
ing,—these are also convincing proofs
of kidney trouble. If you have doctor
