THE MAINE REPORT.
Abstracts of Points Covered by thu
Court of Inquiry.

u
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Thd AS.
ISOLATED Press presents complete
abstract OF the report of the Court OF
Inquiry, which Investigated the
wrecking Of the battleship Maine.
This abstract is made from the report
itself, access to which was obtained
today, despite official secrecy, unpar-
alleled in the handling OF Off :ial
papers. The report is made up of
eight parts, as follows:
First The Court ffnds that at the
time OF the explosion, the battleship
Maine was lying in five and one half
to six fathoms of water.
Second-The discipline aboard the
ship was excellent; everything am
munitiOn, guns, stores, etc.-stOwed
according to orders. The tempera
ture of the magazines at p M, was
normal, except in the after ten inch
magazine, and that did not explode.
. Third-The explosion occurred at
$40 O'Clock on the evening OF Febru-
airy Is There were two explosions,
with a very short interval between
them; the ship lifted on the first ex
plosion."
Fourth-The court can form no def
mite opinion OF the condition Of the
wreck from the divers evidence.
Fifth-From the technical details
of wreckage, the court deduces that
"a mine was exploded under the ship
on the port side"
Sixth-The explosion was due to
"no fault of those on board"
Seventh-The opinion of the court
states that "the explosion CT the mine
caused the explosion Of the two maya
zines"
Eighth-The court declares that it
cannot find evidence to fix the re-
sponsibility."
The report is unanimous and is
signed by all the members Of the
court. 1t does not refer to the exis-
tence or non-existence of mines in the
harbor of Havana, except in the spe-
cific finding that mine was exploded
under the ship. and the opinion that
the explosion Of two magazines was
caused by the explosion OF mine.

ANOTHER VESSEL BLOWN UP
A Muddy Creek Citizen Claims to
Have the Parties Spotted.

Have the Parties Spotted.
A citizen living near Muddy Creek,
few miles from Winston, tells an ex-
citing story. He says that one Of his
neighbors owned boat which he used
on the creek. A few nights ago one
of his enemies, by the use Of dynamite
or some other explosive. blew up the
vessel, rendering it useless.
The owner of the boat claims to
have the guilty parties spotted and he
threatens to enter big suit for dam
ages unless the parties offer an indem
nifty sufficient to cover all losses and
trouble. 1t is understood that he has
already consulted one of Winston's
law firms relative to suit.
Our informant suggests that the
Muddy Creek citizen refer his troubles
to President Mckinley who will ap,
point Board of Inquiry and have the
matter adjusted without any war or a
suit in court.
