developments In connection wk!h fhe
work of the divers in the 'Maine's "hull,
the administration (remains firm In Its
statement that there da . no: crenliW
evidence one way or the other as to the
cause 6f the disaster, and holds to its
purpose to aiwait the conclusion of the
Investigation now jnaking iby the court

admitted t'hat the sufbject of thi loss

said that the government had received
no information; from Havana since
yesterday and had no Intention of
changing Its policy until there was
something oi guostance to warrant it.

date of her departure for Havana, if

THE MAINE SLOWLY SINKING.
Havana, February 25. The wreck of
the Maine is slowly but surely sinking
into; the mud. Before the hull could
be raised it woud be necessary to re
move the guns, and deck debris. For
lack of proper appliances! practically
nothing in this line has been accom
plished. . ; .
The cloudy weather and rain made
the ; work of the divers unsatisfactory
today and very little was done. It is
said that a hole has been made by the
divers in one of the forward' hatches.
andfit is-hoped that a number of bodies
will be recovered. The court of Inquiry

the harbor to make room for the cruls
er Vizoa'ya which is expected here to

. ' Washington, February 25. Hon. Henry
W., Corbett's right to a seat in the sen
ate from Oregon was under consideration
by the senate this afternoon: for five
hours. Senator Spooner, ' of . "Wisconsin,
concluded . the speech which he began
yesterday in favor of Mri Corbett. and
was followed 'by Senator Teller, of Colo
rado; Senator Allen, .of Nebraska, and
Senator Turley, of - Tennessee, with
speeches in opposition to the seating of
Mr. Corbett. ' and Senator- .Turner, of
"Washington, in favor of seating him.
. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The house resumed consideration of the
sundry -civil appropriation bill. Quite a
debate developed on a motion to strike
out the appropriation of" $133,000 for work
in Oakland, Cal.,', its opponents alleging
that no contract had yet been' made for
the work and asserting that a river and
harbor bill was to ibe suppressed and a
tavored few given appropriations in the
sundry civil bill. The appropriation re
mained in the bill by a vote of 118 to 16,
; Representative Moody made a sensa
tional attack upon - an appropriation in
the sundry civil bill -of $360,000 for Rock
land, Maine, harbor, which is in Mr.
Dingley's district. He said he was wil
ling to submit to eqonomy and to honest
leadership, but fori-one -he proposed to
rebel against the . leadership that gave
an appropriation to Rockland, Me., an
insigniicant port that could be burled in
Boston "harbor. . . . '
Mr. Grosvenor, republican, of Ohio, at-,
tacked the appropriation arid declared
that if the house allowed these river and
hai'bor items to go into the Sundry civil
bill, there would be no river . and har
bor bill. ; .
j; Mr. Cannon replied to the attack; de
claring . that some l of the miost . vicious
river and harbor items ever reported
came from the committee when he (Gros
Venor) was a member of it. He 'said that
from 23 to 33 per cent; of the money ap
propriated by a bill he helped to report
naa Deen, worse tnan -tnrown away.
Mr. Dingl
ey answered tne personal t
upap hlin. The Rockland 1m
hilsaKi, was hot simply' an
tack made
tprovementj
improvement: it Included provision for a
breakwateri and a harbor of refuge.
The house passed the sundry civil
item, appropriating 1400.000 for' San Pedro
harbor, California, i - J . .
' It was practically; agreed by those who
participated in the; debate today that
there would be no river and harbor bill
at this session of congress. It was inti
mated that there was a plan to defeat
iall the items in the bill so as to -.force
consideration of a general river and har
bor bill, but ' this;; intimation was, nt
borne out by "The 'Vote apon the amend
ment upon which-the debate rested. Only
four pages of the, bill were disposed of
today. , .".;.'
