THE SPANISH REPORT.


Washington. March 2S.--The full synop-
sis of the report OF the Spanish naval
commission which investigated the de-
structlon Of the battieship Maine Is here
given by the Associated Press. II II taken
from copy OF the original report which
is now on lts way here from Havana, q
synOpnls being cabcd and today being IN
tho hands Of this government.
The conclusions are directly opposite 10
those in report Of the court OF inquiry
submitted to congress today. The syn
Opsls Is as follows:
The report contains declarations made
by ocular witnesses and experts. From
these statements II deduces and proves
the absence Of all attendant clrcumstan-
ces which are Invariably presented on the
occasion OF the explosion OF a torpedo.
The evidence OF Witnesses compara-
lively close TO the Maine at the moment
II 70 the effect that only one explosion
occurred: that no shock 10 the side near
est the vessel was felt. nor on land was
any vibration noticed. and that no dead
hsh were found. The divers were unable
10 examine the bottom OF the Maine,
which was buried In the mud. but care
fui examination OF the side OF the vessel,
the rents and breaks which all point out
ward. shows without doubt that the ex-
piosion was from the inside.
