Yesterday was a fruit ing at the concerned. less day so far as get bottom ' of facts were All was still in a state of suspense. The divers were at work and the in vestigation will probably be com pleted in a few; days. ' The latest dispatches yesterday say that ru mors of startling discoveries were less frequent, but there Were enough of them still afloat to war rant Secretary Long in making this statement to the newspaper men: "Summing up; the situa tion, I should say that the Navy Department knows to-day nothing more about the cause of the disas ter than it did five minutes after the receipt of the first dispatch from Cap t. Sigsbee." The. court of inquiry held its usual sessions in Havana yester day, Capt. Sampson reports that Chaplain Chidwick was examined as to his personal experiences at the time of the disaster to the Maine, and that the testimony was taken of the captain of a British bark in the harbor and the super intendent of the West Indian Oil Company, across the bay at Re gala, both of whom witnessed the explosion.

Powell, of Belleville, who was in command of the regiment in which Presi dent McKinley served during the civil, war, and who was recently appointed collector of internal revenue for the southern Illinois district, who is a personal friend of Mr. McKinley, said that while at tne capitol he discussed the Maine disaster and its possible re sults with the chief executive. "The President stated to me," said the general, v "that he was on lr waiting for a "comrjlete report of the naval board of inquiry and that should it report that our sail ors met their death through Span ish treachery, he was prepared to act at once, and in a manner which would meet the approval of every loyal American." General Powell said prepara tions for war were being pushed with the utmost' vigor and added: "I am cony inced that" President McKinley is the right man in the right place, and that as soon as Spanish treachery has ; been prov en bis policy will be rigid enough to meet the approval even of the most pronounced jingoes."
