days ago made demand upon Spain
to put an end Immediately to hostili-
ties in Cuba, to release the reconcen-
trados and to permit them to return to
their homes and resume their several
occupations unmolested.
This statement is made by unques-
tionable authority, and since that de-
mand was communicated to Spain the
president has not taken step back
ward or allowed himself to be persuad-
ed into modifying it in the least partic-
ular. Spain's final reply to this de-
mand. it is known. is now receiving the
earnest consideration of the Spanish
authorities at Madrid, and their final
reply may be reasonably expectedJ with
in the next few days. Should these de-
mands be rejected, there is the highest
authority for stating that the president
will not hesitate a moment as to his
future course, but will Immediately lay
the whole record before congress and be
guided by its Instructions.
AS a preliminary step toward peace.
it has been proposed to SPAIN though
this last proposition has not taken the
shape of a demand as yet, at least that
the Spanish government withdraw it's
troops from the island and that the Gu
bans be given their independence on
basis of indemnity that would be re-
garded as just in amount by the Unit
ed States and other nations of the world
and fair to both contending parties.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-03-31

February, 1895 in the harhor of Havana
she being at the time moUred to the same
buoy to which she had been taken upon
There were two explosions of distinctly
different character, with very short but
distinct interval between them. and the
forward part Of the ship was lifted to a
marked degree at the time of the f1rst ex-
plosion. The first explosion was more IN
the nature of a report like that OF gun,
while the second explosion was more open,
prolonged and of greater volume. This Sec
ond explosion was. in the opinion of the
court caused by the partial explosion Of
two or more of the forward magazines of
the Maine
Evidence That a Mine Exploded
The evidence bearing upon SAs, being
principally obtained from divers, did not
enable the court to form definite coneiu-
sion as to the condition of the wreck, al
though it was established that the after
part of the ship was practically intact and
sank in that condition a very few mlnui 9s
after the destruction of the forward part
The following facts In regard to the for-
ward part of the ship are, however estaD-
lished by the testimony:
That portion of the port side OF the pro-
tective deck which extends from about
frame 80 to about frame Al was DioWn up
aft and over to port. The main DECK from
blown up aft and slightly over to star
board. folding the forward part Of the mid
die superstructure oy sr and on top OF the
after part.
This was, in the opinion of the court.
caused by the partial explosion Of two or
more of the forward magazines of the
Maine.
Fffth.--At frame II the cutter shell Of
the ship from a point 1112 feet from thA
middle line of the ship and feet above
the keel when in its noraml position mas
been forced up so as to be now about
feet above the surface of the water there
fore about "a feet above where II WOULD
be had the ship sunk uninjured.
The outside bottom plating is bent into
reversed v shape, the after wing OF which
about Is feet broad and 80 feet in length
Qrom frame II to frame 25) is doubled
back upon itself against the CONTINUATION
of the same plating extending forward.
AT frame is the vertical keel Is broken in
two and the fiat keel bent into. an angle
similar to the angle formed by the outside
bottom plating. This break is now about
feet below the surface of the water and
about 80 feet above Its normal position.
In the opinion of the court this erect
could have been produced only by the ex-
plosion of a mine situated under the bot
tom Of the ship at about frame Is and
somewhat on the port side of the ship.
Sixth.-The court finds that the loss OF
the Maine on the occasion named was not
in any respect due to fault or negligence
ON the part of any of the officers or MEM
bers of the crew of said vessel
Seventh.-In the opinion of the court. the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion OF
a submarine mine, which caused the par
tial explosion of two or more of her for
ward magazines.
Eighth-The court has been unable to
obtain evidence fixing the responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine upon any per-
son or persons.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-03-31

Montgomery came away, until an overt
act was liable to occur at any moment.
Wreckers should BE Withdrawn.
Captain Sigsbee thought effective pro-
lection should be afforded the wreckers
and officers in charge, or they ought to
be withdrawn. He recommended the
Immediate recall of Lieutenant Com
mander Richard Wainwright and the
officers and crew of the Fern for sani-
tary reasons, saying that their close
confinement to work night and day in
the middle of the foul smelling harbor
with its miasmatic poisons, continually
stirred up by the operations going ON,
was endangering their health to no pur-
pose.
He said the Maine could not be raised.
He was exceedingly reluctant to reach
that conclusion, but he was convinced
that complete destruction of the vessel
would be necessary after the guns and
other valuable articles were removed.
Captain Sigsbee reiterated these opin-
ions to the president later in the day.
Coming from the calm, dispassionate
officer he has shown himself to be in
the greatest crisis a naval officer has
faced in recent years. this recommen-
dation caused considerable official un-
easiness, and an effort to effect RENE
dy will be promptly made.
