Thor.o CD. 77 Broad Etrcot. Special to Journal. , , Havana, February 10 Captain Sigs bee of the ruined Maine Rays that one quarter of the crew of six hundred of the Maine are dead. He la unable to state the cause of the explosion that wrecked his essel until he can do so officially alter an investigation among the officers of his ship. Captain Sigsbee says that the magazine ' the Maine was as well guarded as usual. He says; "Tell the American peo ple that my ollicer are saved, but one uarter of tny crew aro dead and my hip is lying on the bottom of Havana harbor near the head of the bay." One proof that ' is shown that was not the magazine only that exploded is the way the bow of the bat tleship is entirely blown to pieces. The surveying members of the crew are in entire ignorance of any cause of the ex plosion. Hay-aba, Feb. 10, (3pcci.il). The esti mate this afternoon of the lives Inst by the destruction of the Maine is placed at 2!J8. Onptain Sigsbee remains firm in his belief Unit the explosion was in the mug- azlne of his vessel. Washington, Feb. 10. (Special ) Con. sul General Lee cables that the explosion on the Maine occurred well forward on the battleship uuder the quarters of the men. He cables that all tlie officers of tho Muino arc accounted for except Lieut Friend W. Jenkins and Assistant Engineer Darwin H. Merritt. The destruction of the Maine caused tne greatest sensation in the Capital since the days of the Civil war. I no f resilient sent a special message lo Congress giving all the facts in the p-sscssiou of the Government. The President, Secretary, of the Navy Long, and Assistant Secretary of State Dav. in conaultaiiou declare that it is ot great importance to prevent hasty action by Congress. Secretary l.oug believes that tho ex plosion was due to accident. Navy olli cere generally, on Die other hand, declare that an accident to the magazine on such a well regulated ship a the battleship Maine is impossible.' Senator Lodge of Massachusetts nay that the wreck of the vessel was certainly caused by Boanlsh agents. Captain Dicken ot the Bureau of Navigation ray this afternoon that the latest reports indicate that 158 of the crew of the vessel were killed, of which number 145 were American. Captain General Blanco ha cabled the Spanish charge d'affalr In thl city that It wa the dynamite magazine on board the battleship that exploded and caused the disaster. k It i (till felt to be uncertain in naval circle whether the Maine wu torpedoed or wa wrecked by an explosion lo the powder magazine. The President ha recalled the invita tion Issued to the reception at the White House owing to the disaster. Niw York, February 18 (Special) A pre censorship ha been declared in Havana which 'iupprvue all but the most meagre detail of the disaster to the Maine, and new of any kind i hard to obtain. The newspaper ot New York and private corporal Ion cable to their correspondent In Havana to get die- patches through at all hazards. From III complicated dispatches received by high official of Steamship companies it i gathered that tb destruction I due to dynamite. One explanation offered i that tho explosion wa due to Hie battlcihlp bumping glnt a (mail boat filled with dynamite or other high explosive that wa lying alongside. Lou oo x, Fib. 10 (3pclal).-TU ton don Olobe ay this afternoon that It I impossible to refrain from the lusplcioo battle-ship Maine in Havana harbor. Many were killed or wounded. All the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII are assisting. As yet the cause of the explosion is not apparent. ,'; The wounded sailors of the Maine are unable to explain it. It is believed that the battleship is to tally destroyed. 1 The explosion shook the whole city. The windows were broken in all the houses. The correspondent of the Associated Press says he has conveised witli several of the wounded sailors, and understands from them that the explosion took place while they were asleep, so they can give no particulars as to the cause. The explosion apparently occurred in the ammunition magazine of the vessel. The Maine was built in 1800, at a cost of $2,588,000, She had a steel hull and complement of 874 men, She Is a bat tle-ship of the second class, and regarded as one of the best ships in the new navy. She was built at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and is 318 feet long, 57 feet broad. 31.0 mean draft, and 0,083 tons displace ment. She carries four ten inch and six inch breech loading guns in her main battery, and seven six pounder and eight one pounder rapid fire guns, and four Oatlins in her secondary battery, and four Whitehead torpedoes.

Burk.au, Raleigh. N. C. Feb. 10, '98. f Grand Secretary Woodeil of the I. O O. F. gives the following regarding the order in North Carolina. Durinir the past year seven new lodges, and two Rebeckan degree lodges have been insti tuted. That makes 115 of the former and 13 of the latter. The Grand Lodge will meet here in May and Mr. Pinkerton of Maine, who is the deputy grand Master of tho Bovereigu Grand Lodge will at tend, and deliver an address. Commissioner Pearson is out in a card and says that he doe not net nt Governor Russell's dictation. That Dr. Abbott had no right to Ibsuo subpoenas unless by consent ot a majority of the board of commissioners. The papers over the State are rather touching up the Supreme Court upon its error in granting license to a Mr. Mc- Cullen when it should have been granted to a Mr. McMullan and the court then refused to rectify what the judges ad mitted to be a mistake. Dr. Abbott this morning comi'S back at Commissioner Pearson, and says lie (Abbott) a one of the commission has a perfect right to issue subpoenas. He cite section 27 of the R. It. Commission act, and Rule 10 ot the Rule of Practice in both ot which both say, that subpoe nas for witnesses or to perion or corc poratloni to appear before the commii ion or any one 'or- moro ot laid com mission, can be Issued by any one ot the aid commission, A bit (traight from the shoulder come when it la iiid if it re quire a majority of the commission to Issue subpoena, it ihoutd require a ma jority of the commission to hold up those ordered to be Issued. Major W. A. Guthrie In speaking of politic ay the campaign i going lo be a very hot and also a very remsrkable one. Very largo forest fire are raging up near Southern Pine and Plnehunt.

Collector Duncan has been informed of a capture of a !.10:i pillon illicit distillery out in Wake couniv. President Robert Hancock is here from New Berne on business. It is not gen erally believed that he will be removed from the presidency of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. March came in yesterday a little ahead of lime. There was scarcely anything short of torture to any who were forced to be on the streets, for the dust blew in clouds and if one did not carry a good substantial weight they were liable to lose their balance whenever they struck a crossing. The result of the meeting here on the 22nd of the State Democratic Executive Committee will be watched with much interest.
