MAINE BLOWN UP BY AN EXTERNAL FORCE
neontestabe Evidence That the First Explosion Came From
Below the Ship-No Evidence Of Carelessness the
Part Of the Names Officers President Simply Reports
the Matter to Congress

At forty minutes past o o'clock the
vessel was suddenly destroyed.
There were two distinct explosions
with n brief interval between them.
The first lifted tho forward part Of
the ship very perceptibly, the second.
which was more prolonged. is attrib-
uted by the court to the partial ex-
plosion Of two or more OF the for
ward magazines.
The evidence of the divers establish.
es that the after part OF the ship was
practically intact and sank in that con-
dition a very few minutes after the
explosion. The forward part was com.
pletely demolished.
Upon the evidence OF concurrent ex-
ternal cause. the finding OF the court
is rs follows:

ship, from point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle line OF the ship,
and six feet above the keel when In

The dry gun cotton primers and d.
tonatOrs were slowed In the cabin aft
and remote from the scene Of the ex-
plosion.
The waste was carefully looked after
on board the Maine to obviate danger.
Special orders in regard to this had
been given BY the commanding officer.

The medical stores were slowed aft

No dangerous stores Of any kind were
slowed below in any OF the other store

The coal bunkers were Inspected. OF
those bunkers adjoining the forward

The conclusions Of the court are:
Tha, 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 n submarine mine. which
caused the partial explosion Of two or
more Of her forward magazines: and,
That no evidence has been ob,nlnnble

TO supply additional circulation in In
