in the course of his examination before
the house committee on foreign affairs,
stated it to be his opinion that his YES
sci, the Maine, was blown up by sub
marine mine located by the Spanish au-

the harbor. The position in which the
ship was placed, he said, was such that
he could have fred upon both forts at
the same time.
