The New Maine and the Old.
Havana, Jan. 27.—On this the tenth anniversary of the arrival of the old battleship Maine on her ill-fated mission to Cuban waters, the new Maine, with the trim modern Mississippi following in her wake, sailed into Havana harbor to be present at the inauguration of General Jose Miguel Gomez and the new Cuban Government on Thursday.
This is the first visit of the namesake of the wrecked warship, and her coming excited great interest. The two American battleships are moored to anchorage buoys to-night within a few hundred yards of the tangled mass of steel and the old fighting top, the visible remnants of the vessel destroyed February 15, 1898.
