WORK OF THE DIVERS.
Alleged Absolute Proof of Explosion

NEW YORK, February PA copy
rlghted cablegram to the Evening World
from Sylvester Scovel at Habana, says:
divers working forward yesterday
found absolute proof that the forward
big magazine, which alone could have so
damaged the ship is surely unexploded.
The sides and floors Of this magazine are
practically intact, and in such shape as
Is impossible had an explosion within
occurred. Many divers have so sworn To-
day to the inquiry board.
ut Is now believed by experts that a
big torpedo or mine, aided by the 900
pounds OF saluting powder in the reserve
magazine, next to the big magazine,
might have produced the actual results,
both as regards extent and the direction
found in the wreck. Collapsed powder
cases found about the magazine have hex
agonal marks in the thin copper, where
the external violence forced it into its
contents of hexagonal powder"

heavy locomotive struck the frail vehicle
fairly in the middle, hurting human
bodies and fragments of debris far from
