W1U Probably Be liaised.
The diving probably began today
to recover bo ies from the Maine.
-When the dead are removed from
the ship the work of investigating
the hull of the Maine will begin.
The Navy d prtment will conduct
lis investigation independently of
the Spaniards, bat cheerfully grant
ing them the privilege of making
whatever investigations they wish
toi and c f coarse separate and indes
pendent reports will be made. Spain
has reognizid America', right

The poop or hiaderpart is oit of
. the water and the United States
fbts at half mast upon it. ;
Secretary Long has issued instruc
tion that fhgs may float at full maat
after tbe2Q;h. v
There seems little other idea now
than that the Maine will be raised
ad re fitieJ. Contractors are look

The naval de'pirtmenc wish jta en

The e ia substantial precedent for
, the theory that trie .Maine took fire

by spontaneous combustion. . As to
the mat er of vigilance we clip one
paragraph from Capt. Sigsbee'a car-
ration: : 1
"Without going beyond the lim
its "of what was prop r in the hartbr
of a friendly power, I always main
tained precautions against an attack,
and the quarter watch was ordered
to have ammunition for the smaller
guns ready at hand, so that in the
improbable event of an attack on
the ship iV.--would be found ready .
It was this ammunition which ex
ploded as the heat reached it."

ANO rilER FIRE
A Dry Klin Burns at au Early Hoar
Totally CouMiuicd, M
This (Monday") morning about 6
o clock the people in that part of
town were somewhat frightened by
the burning of a dry kil near the
Cabarrus Roller Mills, on Est De
pot street. The fire bell was rung,
but too late to do any good for in a
short time it was burned down
The Hosi and Reel Compiay did
not turn out- but Eeveral of thf
j
members were at their posts, but
soon found that the fire was but of
reach of th. . hvdrants. The Hook
and Ladder Company came out, but
were halted before they got to the
place. -
The case is somewhat similar to
than of the burning of the dry kiln
of R V? Sifrit & Co , in No. 6 town-
8 hip of only a week or two ago.
The kiln was almost full of; lum
ber, which belonged to Messrs,1 Chas.
Moose and Claude Dry, They had
fully intended emp'ying the kiln
today, but like thac one in No. 6
township, k was left a day or two
toj long. I i
Tbe kiln had scarcely any fire in
it Sunday, which started the I report
oq the street that it had been tet on
fire, but one of the proprietbra In
formed a Standard reporter thit
he bad no idea that it was set ba fire.
The kiln contained over six thousand
feet of lumber, and the loas is eatN
mated at about $80: .
