Washington, Jan. 9.—The war de-
partment is receiving reports from
the raising of the battleship Maine,
indicating the disaster happened in-
side the ship. Quantities of coal and
bones of somo members of the crew
wero found burled in the mud under-
neath the hull. It is not believed an
outsido explosion could have blown
the coal in this direction.
National News Association.
New York, Jan. 9.—Huns were made
on the Twelfth Ward, Nineteenth
Ward and Madison Trust banks this
morning, but prompt payment of de-
positors avoided signs of a panic.
Morgan and his associates have
pooled $40,000,000 to uphold the banks.
When the depositors learned this the
run ended, and many who had with-
drawn re-deposited their money.
Big stacks of gold and silver were
placed in view when the banks open-
ed early, to reduce the size of the
waiting crowds. The line soon de'
creased as confidence returned.
The agreement for the Morgan crowd
to support the banks was reached at
midnight, after an all-day conference.
It makes Morgan's grips on New
York banks all the morepowerful.
