The Night of the Explosion,

On the night of the destruction OF the
Maine everything had been reported Sc
cure for the night at s p. m. by reliable
persons. through the proper authorities.
to the commanding officer. At the time
the Maine was destroyed the shin was
quiet. and. therefore. least liable to ac-
cident caused by movements from these
on board.
9. The destruction of the Maine &C.
Cured at $40 p. m. on the 18th Cay of
February. 1895, in the harbor of Hay-
ana, Cuba. being at the time moored in
the same buoy to which she had been
taken upon her arrival. There were
two explosions Of a distinctly different
character, with a very short but dis
tinct interval between them. and the
forward part of the ship was lifted to a
marked degree at the time Of the first
explosion.
The first explosion was more in the
nature of a report. like that of a gun;
while the second explosion was more
open. prolonged. and of greater volume.
This second explosion was. in the opin-
ion Of the court. caused by the partial
explosion of two or more of the for
ward magazines of the Maine.
Condition of the Wreck.

principally obtained from divers, did

wreck. although IL .as established that
the after part of the ship was practical
~ intact. and sank in that condition q
very few minutes after the destruction
Of the forward part.
The following facts in regard to the
forward part Of the shin are. however,
established by the testimony:
That portion Of the side of the pro-
tective deck. which extends from about
| frame 60 to about frame Al, was blown
up aft. and over to port. The main deck
| from about frame 20 to about frame Al.
| was blown up aft. and slightly over to
| starboard. folding the forward part of
| the middle superstrrcture over and on
| top ~ the after part. This was. in the
opinion Of the court, caused by the par
| tial explosion Of two or more of the
forward magazines of the Maine.

Conclusions of tile Court.

The conclusions Of the court are:
That the Logs Of the Maine was not in
any respect due to fault OF negli-
gence On the part Of any of the officers
or members Of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed By tho
explosion Of a submarine mine. which
caused the partial explosion OF two or
more % her forward magazines: and.
That no evidence has been obtainab bic
fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction Of the Maine upon any person
or persons.
I have directed that the finding of
the court 81 inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi-
Gated To the government IL her majes-
~. the queen. and I 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.
IL was the duty of the executive
to advise the congress of the result,
and In the meantime deliberate consid-
craticn Is invoked.

Maine arrived In the harbor ot Havana.
Cuba. on the 18th day of January. 1875.
and was taken To- buoy No. 4. in from
five and n half To- six fathoms of water,
by the regular government pilot. The
United states consul general at Ha-
vana had notified the authorities at
that place the previous evening pf the
intended arrival Of the Maine.
2. The state of discipline On board the
Maine was excellent, and all orders and
regulations in regard To- the care and
safety Of the ship were strictly carried
cut. All ammunition was slowed away
In accordance with Instructions. and
proper care was taken whenever am
muniti,u was handled. Nothing was
slowed in any of the magazines or shell
rooms which was not permitted to be
slowed there.

SOME OF THE TESTIMONY
Upon Which the Naval Board Of Inquiry
Reached Conclusions.

upon W hich the naval iSocru OF Inquiry
Reached Conclusions.
The following are portions Of the tes-
timony:
Ensign W. v. N. Powelson was called
the third day Of the court. He testified
that he had been present on the Maine
every day from the arrival CT the boat
Fern ana during great deal of the
diving.
In reply to a question to tell the court
all about the condition Of the wreck, he
said the forward part cf the ship forward
of the after slnokestack had been to all
appearances completely DESTROYED. The
coming tower lay in position opposite
the door leading to the superstructure
aft and to starboard. inclined at about
40 degrees to the vertical with the TOP
of the coming tower in beard. Contin-
uing, he described with close detail the
condition under the main deck on the
port side. The fixtures were completely
wrecked. while fixtures in the sane no.
sition on the s;arboard side were in
some cases almost intact The port
bulkhead between the main and bert
decks at the coming tower support had
been blown aft on both sides, but n
great deal more on the port than on the
starboard side. The fire room hatch i'm

tective deck under the coming tower
supports was bent in two directions.
the plates on the starhoard side being
bent up and on the starboard side bent
down.
Bent Up 10 the Starl,oarsi.
In reply to an inquiry as to whether
he meant with reference to their orig
inal positions Ensign Powelson replied
affirmatively. The beam supporting
the protective deck a few inches aba Fl
OF the armored tube to port of the mid
ship line was bent up to starboard of
the midship line. Just forward Of the
coming tower. underneath the main
deck two beams met at right angles.
one beam was broken and pushed from
port to starboard. A grating was
found on the poop awning. Just for
ward of the after searchlight.
A piece of the side plating Just abaft
Of the starboard turret, was visible.
This plate was bent outward and then
the forward end bent upward and fold
ed backward upon itself. This plate
was sheared from the rest of the plat
ing below the water line. This plating
| below the water line has been pushed
| out to starboard."
The armore6 gratings of the engine
room hatch were blown off. A compo-
| sition strainer was picked up from the

she was moorsd In from FIVE and one.
half TO six fathoms q water. The state
OF diSrfpline on board and the condition
OK her magazines. boilers. coal bunkers
and storage compartments are passed
In review. with the conclusion that ex-
cellent order prevailed and that no in
cication OF any cause for an Internal
explosion existed in any Quarter.
Al O'Clock In the evening Of Feb. Is
everything had been reported secure
ana all was quiet. At forty minutes
past . o'clock the vessel was suddenly
destroyed.
Two Dissiset Explosives.
There were two distinct explosions.
with n brief interval between them. The
hrst lifted the forward part Of the ship
very perceptibly: the second. which was
more prolonged. IL attributed by the
court to the partial explosion Of two or
more OF the forward magazines The
evidence OF the divers establishes that
the after part Of the ship was practic-
ally intact. and sank In that condition
a very few minutes after the explosion.
The forward part was completely de-
moiished.
Upon the evidence Of concurrent ex-
ternal cause the finding Of the court is
as follows:
At frame IL the outer shell Of the
ship. from a point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle line Of the ship
and six feet above the keel when In its
normal position. has been forced up so
as to be now four feet above the sur
face Of the water: therefore. about
thirty-four feet above where II would
be had the ship sunk uninjured.
Outside bottom Plating Bent.
The outside bottom plating is bent
into a reversed W shape. the after
wing Of which. about fifteen feet broad
and thirty-two feet in length (from
frame IL 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 keel bent into an
angie singular TO the angle formed fol-
the outside plates. Ta,s break Is about
SIX feet below the surface Of the water
and about thirty feet above its normal
position.
In the opinion Of tho court this effect
could have been produced only by. the
explosion 81 n mine situated under the
bottom Of the ship. at about frame is
and somewhat on the port side Of the
ship"
