COURT LEAVES HAVANA.
Evidence in Regard to Maine Bisas-
ter Practically All limo Word
ms to the Verdict.

Havana, March 16.-The Mangrove,
with the court of inquiry on board,
sailed Tuesday light for Key West.
Capt. Sampson, president of the board,
assured the correspondents that the de-
cision to leave Havana was not reached
until Tuesday afternoon after n con-
sultation of the members. 1t was de-
cided that, while further testimony
might be obtained here, this was not
sufficiently likely to justify a longer
stay. The court can return if the divers
or wreckers make discoveries that add
to the stock Of knowledge now gath
cred. The plans of the submerged
wreck, in the preparatio Of which En-
sign Powelson has had large share.
are very elaborate, and Capt Sampson
says the testimony and records of the
divers are very full.
The court has no prophecy to make
as to the further duration of its sit
tings or as to when or where the find
ings will be promulgated. Capt. Sigs
bee will probably remain here with
Lieut.. Commander Wainwright to SUI
perintend the wrecking on behalf of the
government.
The leader., 1898-03-23
