Spy Says American Blew Up the Maine
caramba
WASHINGTON.—'The Inited Stales
government has investigated a
report to the effect thai the Maine
wan blown up iu Havana harbor
'toy an American who hail been con-
demned to death by the Spanish, but
•won his freedom by destroying the
American warship. The spy who
turned the story into the secret service
bureau at Washington asserted that
©eorge B. Boynton, a "soldier of for-
tune" who died recently, was the man
•who actually blew up the Maine.
Horace Smith, biographer of Boynton,
declares the story is false and he can
prove Boynton was in Venezuela at the
time of the explosion
"The Spaniards," said the informer
to Chief Wilkie of the secret service,
"were entirely unprepared for the visit
«f the Maine, which was sent to Ha
•vana suddenly and without warning.
Consequently there was no mine at-
tached to the buoy at which she was
imoored.
"Captain General lllanco and his
•taff did not relish having a hostile
•warship in Buch an advantageous posi-
tion In the event of war with the
United States, which they then re-
garded as at least a possibility, and it
was decided to blow her up, under such
conditions ns might make It appear
she had been destroyed by an acci-
dental explosion of her own magazines.
A large boiler from the navy yard wag
taken to the arsenal and filled with
powder. It w as provided with a mech-
anism by which It would be exploded
by electricity and then hermetically
sealed.
"The boiler was lashed In a sling
under a lighter, which was towed
across the bow of the Maine at night.
When the lighter was directly in
front of the battleship the lines which
held the boiler were cut. and It
dropped into the mud.
"The Spaniards then fixed on Boyn-
ton as the person to set off the mine.
He had been captured shortly before
while conducting a filibustering expe-
dition for the Cubans, whom he had
aided durin< the the Tea Years' war.
and w as then Imprisoned in Cat anas
fortress.
"According to the story, be was
tried and sentenced to death, but was
offered life and liberty if he would
press the button that was to destroy
the Maine, and swear never to reveal
the secret. He accepted these terms
and on the night of February 15. 18H8,
when the Maine swung around until
her bow was directly over the mine,
with her keel only three or four feet
above It. he *8! taken to the Machina
wharf where he threw the switch that
caused the explosion Then he was
set free and left Cuba."

In one case the controller spent a
whole day with one of the national

this book bore the Initials of several
examiners as evidence that at differ-

the signatures were not witnessed;

In almost every instance the signature
of the president and cashier on the
(ace of the certificate was neither
punched out nor crossed out with Ink
or any other material in any manner

among the countless statues of Ran-

This statement by l^iuis F Zink-

"It Is an absolute fact that prisoners

this gives them topics to talk about.
"Now that the comptroller has au-
thorized the payment of government
money for the papers, I feel satisfied
that I will have a much more con-
tent?d lot of prisoners than I had
formerly. We always have allowed
some of the prisoners to buy papers,

with the huge reclining Huddha, form
a part of the religious rites of the

To do this It Is necessary always to

HEROES ARE NOT PENSIONED
This Is One of the Forbidden Feature*
of the Business of Life
Saving.
Boston. Mass.—Few persons know
much about the life savers stationed
at dangerous points along the Atlantis
coast. What they do, how they live,
what sort of men they are In the
first place they are obscurely living
fellows. In the second they attract no-
tice only rarely by some heroic deed.
And even In this buslnes the chances
for heroic deeds come seldom.
The life saving service imys poor- :
ly. iudged by most standards Sixty- '
five dollars a mrvith for ten months Is
the pay of every life saver or surfman.
as he properly Is railed, except the
keeper, who gets $75. and surfman No. '
1, who gets 170.
There are no pensions Even the
man who is crippled for life In the
work is not entitled to a pension.
There Is at least one cuse on record
in which such a man was pensioned,
but It was through the special Interest
and command of a president of tbe
Vnlted States
Not to be pensioned for disability Is
the most forbidding thing about tbe
life savlDg service which, by the way, I
got started under the direction of the !
treasury department and has been 1
under It ever since This has kept
more men away from It than any other
