New York, Feb. 25.—A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says: There is no longer anv reason to doubt that the explosion which wrecked the Maim* camo from underneath the vessel and that her mft g**iu«s had nothing to f*o with the initial exploaiou and played a much smaller part in the general disaster than was at first su 'posf'd. The evidence that hae aei v.»d to convince the board was obtained by Ensign Powelson, an olioer at tached to the Fern, Mr. Powelson was formerly in the construction corpe anti took a two yeara’ special course in the Glasgow school of uav&l srohitec- ture. He it therefore a competent witness. What he discovered was that the forward part of the keel of the Maine, with its rihe ami plates was stove upward so far that parts of the shattered double bottom show out of water i a places and sections of the green painted outer hull are visible. Conoborativa of evidence given by Ensign Powelson and of equal significance and importance is the I^am writing so many with |The Reason. Life Insurance Policies, is that the times arc so hard.

And yet so little in terest is taken by individuals in keeping up their premise* and making neat little improvements which would add so much to th* looks of the city. Lime is cheap and anyone can whitewash. In stead of wasting so much time loafing on the streets or in useless conversation in stores, offices, etc., pull off your coats aud go to work, fix up your fences, white wash them, fix your sidewalks your stores, houses, lots, etc., and let straueers coming hero see that the citizens of Florence have some pride about them if they are people of limited means.
