The Maine court of inquiry reports to President McKinley finding the explosion likely caused by a mine beneath the ship on the port side, with two blasts at 9 40 p m on February 15 and no fault aboard. The magazine temperature remained normal except in the after ten inch magazine.
In Salinas and across the river at Spreckels, workers push toward May operation with massive factory framing nearly complete. Crews finish boiler houses and storage, while 150 workers draw plans, and 1.5 million gallon reservoir, electric lighting, and sewer systems shape a new town amid varied architecture and eager contractors.
In Watsonville California beet growers in Venture County express doubt about the season due to scarce rain. The Moro Coss Ae area near the ocean is expected to be largely devoted to sugar beets this year.
The company invites farmers to plant beets on about 500 acres along the Pecos Valley line and proposes two contract styles. In flat price, beets with 12 percent sugar and 80 percent purity pay a set rate per ton, with deductions for low sugar or low purity. In sliding scale, payments start at 4 dollars per ton for 14 percent sugar and rise 28 cents per ton per additional percent up to 17, with reductions for lower sugar levels. The company covers freight up to 15 percent tare, and may reject beets below 12 percent sugar or 80 percent purity.
The Pecos Valley Argus reports factory guidance to farmers urging early planting of sugar beets. Advice emphasizes deep plowing, thorough seed sowing, avoiding midday irrigation, and weed control to ensure a large tonnage of high quality beets. Contracts issued signal continued work for a successful growing season.
February sugar duties reported from leading customs ports totaled about 2.4 million, higher than typical for the month though short of spring and summer expectations. Annual sugar revenue is projected near 60 million dollars, about 5 million per month, with summer collections typically larger.
German sugar manufacturers promote sugar as a source of strength and muscle development. They propose government trial with gratuitous sugar for 2000 soldiers under observation, referencing digestion benefits and longevity claims, including examples from Russian factories and wartime framing.
