the wreck Of the Inflated battleship
Maine. Secretary Long said in answer
to an inquiry ON the subject. that he
saw no reason tor the officers TO remain
Rt Havana much longer, aud the prob
ability was that they would be ordered
home in a day or two Although it is
not finally settled, it is more than prob
able that the Fern also will return to
the United States, as soon as it Is de-
termlned that nothing more is to be
gained by her presence there. In the
event OF the Abandonment Of the wreck,
it is more than likely that the navy de-
partment will arrange for its complete
destruction by the use Of dynamite. or
torpedoes. In its present condition it
is dangerous obstruction to naviga-
ton. and it is not believed any Objec-
ton will be made to its removal.
