The Maine Inquiry.

The report of the court of inquiry
regarding the destruction or the bat
tleshlp Maine has been sent to Wash
lngton. 1t has leaked out that the
main points are:
"First--The explosion that destroy
ed the Maine was from the exterior on
the port side, leaving the ram almost
in its original position and driving
the bow and forward struCture on
the starboard. The afterpart of the
ship swung slightly on the starboard
and then sank
Second-The first explosion was
followed by a second in the interior
Of the ship as a result of an exterior
blow
Thlrd-The second explosion was in
the reserve magazine. Ihis destroy
ed the superslructure Of the ship.
Fourth-The bog magazine forward
did not explode This was demon
strated beyond a doubt.
Flfth-The exterior explosion pro-
badly came from torpedo EVi-
dence that mine might have caused
the disaster was produced, but it was
not sufficient to convince the court.
Slxth--The impact came low under
the hull of the Maine on the port
side, blowing one Of the bllge plates
to the surface, where it is still in
sight.
Seventh-The ship is broken in two
and probably cannot DO raised
Eighth-The forward turret is bur
led far to atarboard, Its top being in
tact.
Nluth-The solitary plate showing
above water IS bottom plate, moi
from along the keel. but from the bot
tom port side.
Tenth-Ihe bow OF the Maize now
points nearly ecst. while the rest of
the ship lies along line nearly at
right angles
Eleventh-The ram Of the Maine
lies off to port of where the bow lies,
nearly on line parallel to the body
of the ship
Twelfth-No evidence was addnced
duplicating the Spanish government
or Spanish officials or of preparation
for the destruction of the ship"

THIRD VIRGINIA REGIMENT.

The work preliminary to the muster
ing out of the Third Virginia regiment
in Richmond is all under way now, the
physical examination of the men hay
ing been begun yesterday. This work
will require a great deal of time if il
all has to be done by one surgeon, as
Assistant Surgeon Cham berlain worked
Dard yesterday and only succeeded in
getting through with about fifty men.
He began on Captain Wizards COM
pany and will finish with it to dav.
Major Price wired Surgeon General
Sternberg last night to have another
surgeon sent TO Richmond to assist Sur
geon Chamberlain, He thinks it highly
desirable that Surgeon Chamberlain be
given assistance, as tine government has
to pay the men for the time they are
kept waiting TO be examined and main
tain them as we'll. In addition to this
the men are very DESTROYS of being sent
home to their families and business.
The making out of the rolls of the various
companies preparatory TO mastering out the
men is proceeding rapidly.
/ The qunrtermaster's stores and ordnance
are also being checked up. and will soon be-
ready to turn over to the government.
| The men will not be paid Oft until mustered
out. They have been paid for tha month OF
August, hut September pay and pay for what
! will probl ably be the whole month OF October,
will be due them when mustered out.
Officers, rs well as meu, are tired by the
delay, and il seems that some arrangement
will be made to expedite matters. Captain
Willard is cndeavorng 10 arrange to pay his
men out of his own pocket aud let them go
homs as soon as the physical examination OF
the men is completed and they have been
given discharges by Major Price
There are seven members of the Third
regiment in the hospital now, but none of
them are very seriously i'll.
The ministers of Richmond realizing that
the men of the Third legim mt are liable to
be led iatO temptation during their stay in
that city, have decided TO take steps looking
TO holding religious meetings in the vicinity
OF the Exchange Hotel each night. Chaplain
Ferguson, of the Third, and Rev. J. Calvin
Stewart. of the Church of the Covenant, have
the matter in charge
Governor Tyler recently asked the War
! Department that discharges be allowed freely
in the Fourth regiment at Jacksonville, the
vacancies TO be filled By re-enisncnt OF men
| from the Third now in Richmond, in process
OF being mustered OUT. Adjlt4nt General
Corbin replied: Before acting on your tele-
graphic request OF the Sth, would like infor-
nation of the number Of enlisted men in the
Third Virginia who want to remain in the
service. Several experiments of this kind
nave been MADE, ana II has uniformly turned
out that very few men want TO remain in the
service"
The officers of the Third regiment are 60
ing to present Col Ma lie with a handsome
sword in token OF their regard They will
also give grand banquet on the eve OF their
departure from Richmond for their respective
| homes.
