First-That the United States battle

explosion. The forward part was COM
pletely demolished.
Upon the evidence of concurrent ex-
'ernal cause, the finding of the court
is as follows:
at frame II the outer shell of the
ship. from = point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle line Of the ship,
and six feet above the keel when In
Its normal position, had been forced
up 80 NJ to be now about four feet
above the surface of the water; there.
fore, about thirty four feet above
where It would be had 1t sunk unin-
jured.
The outside bottom plnting Is bent In
to a reversed "" shape, the after
wing Of which. about fifteen feet broad
and thirty-two feet in length from
frame II TO frame 2J) is doubled back
upon itself against the continuation of
the same plating extending forward.
At frame IS the vertical keel Is brok-
en- in two and keel bent into mn angle
similar to the angle formed for the
outside plates. This break il about
six feet below the surface of the water
and about thirty feet above its normal
position. g
In the opinion of the court this efYec,
could have been produced only by the
explosion of mine situated under the
bottom of the ship, at about frame Is
and sOmewlla; OH the port side of the
ship.
The conclusions of the court are:
That the loss of the Maine was not in
any respect due to fault or negligence
on the part of any of the officers or
members of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the
explosion of submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion of two or
more of her forward magazines; and.
That no evidence has been obtainabl
fixing the responsibility for the destruc-
ton Of the Maine upon any person or
persons.
l have directed that the finding of
the court of inquiry and the views Of
this government thereon be communi-
Gated to the government of her majes-
ty, the queen, and l do not permit my
self TO doubt that the sense of justice
OF the Spanish nation will dictate a
course Of action suggested by honor
and the friendly relations Of the two
governments.
1t is the duty Of the executive to adj
wise Congress Of the result. and In the
meantime deliberate consideration is
invoked. WILLIAM MCKINLEY,

TO REDUCE THE DEBT.
A Meeting Held at St. Matthews Church
Last Night.

At meeting of the vestrymen OF ST.
Matthews p e. Church, which was
held few nights since, a plan was
outlined for the discharge of the debt
which now hangs over the church.
Inasmuch as many members OF the
congregation, who are now deceased,
built and paid for the present hand
some church edifice, which is being
used by the present congregation, it
was thought that the wealthy members
of the congregation could well afford
to pay off the present debt. The idea
adopted at the meeting was to take
a collection on Easter Sunday, which,
it is hoped, will aggregate $1,000, the
amount of the church debt.
The matter was discussed fully at
the meeting, and another meeting OF
the vestrymen and the Brotherhood OF
st. Andrew, was called for last night.
There was an excellent attendance. A
LIST of members of the congregation
who are willing to contribute for the
purpose, was partially prepared, and
the meeting was adjourned until Mon
day night. Each member of the parish
will be given an opportunity to con-
tribute according to his means.

On Eof Street Repaired by the Board of
Pubic Works
Yesterday Superintendent of Streets
J. A. Britt reported that the repairs
had been completed to the Eoff street
sewer, where the break occurred, near
the corner of Eighteenth street An
examination of the sewer showed that
the bottom had entirely worn away
by reason of the incessant securing of
water and earth through a period of
sixty years, and the top of the sewer
was left hanging AS a result, it
naturally caved in The sewer is five
feet in diameter, and one of the big
gest in the city. Men were sent along
the sewer with torches, and found
several places where the bottom was
entirely gone, and others where the
bricks were worn until some of them
were not over half an inch thick.
These places, half-a-dozen in number,
were filled in with brick. The Super
intendent says man-holes should be
placed in this sewer at intervals of a
square, so it could be inspected, cleaned
and put in repair. The sewer is a
long one, running as far north as
