Finding of the Court of Inquiry.

The report of the naval court OF
INQUIRY into the disaster to the Maine
to be presented to the president next
week, will contain among others the
following findings:
1. A hole was found just above the
keel on the port side, where torpedo
or mine was started.
2. A part of the port side of the
Marie and a greater portion of the for
ward decks were blown off by the ex-
plosiOn.
3. Her 1O-inch guns are lying in the
mud 20 f. ct away, off the starboa I'd
side.
4. All her plates, from the keel to
the waters edge, at the deck, were
pushed up.
S. The powder magazines and shell
rooms are intact.
6 Her bottom is all gone.
7. Her boilers did not explode, for
her fires were aft, not forward.
This outline of some of ethe findings
of the board of ing uiry is authentic.
The examination of the divers sent to
Havana by the government developed
this state of facts within less than two
weeks after the disaster. A mos.
frightful state of affairs was found.
The divers made heir examinations
into the cause of the explosion on each

been pushed up. This was the first
conclusive testimony that the ex-
plosion came from the outside.
Had her magazines blown up It
would have left nothing blow the
lower deck. Here, however, every
thing was gone from keel to deck.
Later the divers discovered the
powder magazine and shell rooms to
he intact. There had been no ex-
plosion there.
The theory was then left that the
Names boilers had exploded. That
was the view General Blanco and
other Spanish officials in Cuba hac
taken.
This Was disproved. The testimon,
taken by the board of inquiry showed
that on the night of February Is all
the boiler fires we're aft and not for
ward.
The finding of the Names heavy To-
inch guns in the mud. 20 feet away
from the s:arboard side of the shir,
was the rext startling discovery made
This occurred about February %. The
of the guns was mapped out
by the divers and presented to tht
court of inquiry.
The position of these 1O-inch guns
led to a detailed examination of tn.
port side of the vessel. Just above the
keel hole was found. 1t was here
that the torpedo or mine started. The
path of the explosion could be follow
ed, once the starting point was located.
Its force had been spent upward and
toward the starboard eide Nearly all

we knew where the chief paartici-

most fhis life if the report did
