sion tnat excellent order prevailed and
that no indication OF any cause for an
internal explosion existed in any quar-
ter
AT o'clock in the evening Of Feb. IS
everything had been reported secure,
and all was quiet
At 40 minutes past o'clock the vessel
was suddenly destroyed.
There We're two distinct explosions,
with brief interval between them.
The first lifted the forward part Of the
ship very perceptibly. The second,
which was more open, prolonged and Of
greater volume, is attributed by the
court to partial explosion of two OF
more of the forward magazines.
The evidence Of the divers establishes
that the after part of the ship was prac-
tically intact and sank in that condi-
tion very few minutes after the ex-
plosion. The forward part was COM
pletely demolished.
Findings Summarized.
Upon the evidence Of a concurrent ex-
ternal cause the finding of the court is
as follows:
At frame II the outer shell of the ship,
from a point 111a feet from the middle
keel when in it's normal position, has
been forced up so as to be now about
four feet above the surface of the water.
therefore about "a feet above where it
would be had the ship sunk uninjured.
The outside bottom plating is bent in
to a reversed v shape the after wing
of which, about Is feet broad and 80 feet
in length Crane II to frame 25), is dou-
bled back upon itself against the con-
tinuation of the same plating extending
forward.
At frame Is the vertical keel is broken
in two and the fiat keel bent into an
angle similar to the angle formed by
the outside bottom plates. This break
Is now about six feet below the surface
of the water and about so feet above it's
normal position.
In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the
explosion of a mine situated under the
bottom Of the ship at about frame Is
and somewhat on the shore side of the
ship.

Full Text of the Report of the Maine
Court of Inquiry.
Washington, March 29-The following
is the full text of the report of the court
of inquiry:
u. S. S. Iowa, First Rate,
Key West Monday March II, 1898.
After full and mature consideration
of all the testimony before it the court
finds as follows:
First.-That the United States battle
ship Maine arrived in the harbor of Ha-
vana, Cuba, on the 25th day of January.
1898. and was taken to buoy No. 4 in
from 51z to fathoms of water, by the
regular government pilot.
The United States consul general at
Havana had notified the authorities at
that place the previous evening of the
intended arrival of the Maine.
Second.-The state of discipline on
board the Maine was excellent, and all
orders and regulations in regard to the
care of safety of the ship were strictly
carried out.
All ammunition was slowed in accord
ance with prescribed instructions, and
proper care was taken whenever ammu-
milton was handled.
Nothing was slowed in any of the
magazines or shellrooms which was not
permitted to be slowed there.
The magazines and shellrooms were
always locked after having been opened,
and after the destruction of the Maine
the keys were found in their proper
place in the captains cabin, everything
having been reported secure that even
ing at p. m.
Temperature All Right.
The temperature OF the magazines and
shellroons were taken daily and report
ed. The only magazine which had an
undue amount of heat was the after 10
inch magazine, and that did not explode
at the time the Maine was destroyed.
The torpedo warheads were all slowed
in the after part of the ship under the
wardroom and neither caused nor par
ticipated in the destruction of the
Maine.
The dry gun cotton primers and de-
tonators were slowed in the cabin aft
and remote from the scene of the explo-
sion. Waste was carefully looked after
ON the Maine to obviate danger Special
orders in regard to this had been given
by the commanding officer.
yarnishes, driers, alcohol and other
combustibles of this nature were slowed
on or above the main deck and could
not have had anything to do with the
destruction of the Maine.
The medical stores were slowed aft
under the wardroom and remote from
the scene of the explosion.
No dangerous stores of any kind were
slowed below in any of the other store
rooms
The coal bunkers were inspected daily
OF those bunkers adjacent to the for
ward magazines and shellrooms four
were empty-namely, B3, B4. B5. BIG.
A15 had been in use that day, and
AIS was full of New river coal. This
coal had been carefully inspected be-
fore receiving it on board. The bunker
in which it was slowed was accessible
on three sides at all times. and the
fourth side at this time on account of
bunkers B4 and B6 being empty. This
bunker, A16. had been inspected that
day by the engineer officer on duty.
The fire alarms in the bunkers were
in working order. and there had never
been case OF spontaneous combustion
of coal on board of the Maine.
The two after boilers of the ship were
in use at the time of the disaster, but
for auxiliary purposes only. with a

Crew Not TO Blame.

The conclusions of the court are:
That the loss of the Maine was not
in any respect due to fault or negli-
gence ON the part of any Of the officers
or members of the crew;
That the ship was destroyed by the
explosion of a submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion of two or
more of her forward magazines, and
That no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction of the Maine upon any person
or persons.
l have directed that the finding of the
court of inquiry and the views of this
government thereon be communicated
to the government of her majesty the
queen regent, and I do not permit my
self to doubt that the sense of justice
of the Spanish nation will dictate a
course of action suggested by honor and
the friendly relations, of the two gov
ernments
1t will be the duty of the executive to
advise the congress of the result, and
in the meantime deliberate considera-
ton is invoked.

religious newspaper with a continual
existence under one title; the
NEW YORK OBSERVER
still stands in the front rank, and is the
foremost religious family newspaper.
1t is valuable to the Christian family by
reason of what it excludes as well as by
reason of its contents. Freighted with
literary treasures from all parts of the
globe, ably commenting upon the rellg-
ious and secular events of the word !;
full stimulus to the worker in every de-
partment OF evangelical and benevolent
effort, giving due weight to the things
Of time as we'll as eternity it meets the
daily needs of the intelligent American
household. With never less than thirty
two pages, often containing forty pages,
associaling its contents into easily
accessible departments, and presenting
the work each week Of forty or more
skilled and entertaining writers, and
ten times that number in the course Of q
year. it is noted for its vigor and variety,
its pith and points, its freshness and
force. For 1899, it will excel its best
records. New writers and old ones are
sharpening their quilts for thh benefit Of
Observer readers, and will make the
paper better than ever.

TIE RETIRING POSTMASTER.

On the first day of January, 1899,
Postmaster McWhorter will vacate the
office, just four years from the day he
took possession. At that time the box
rents amounted to $500 per quarter,
while at present they only pay $500 per
quarter, the diminulion of free delivery,
by means of which the majority OF the
people get their mail So while the
revenue from box rents has decreased
somewhat, it is evident that the business
of the post office has increased largely.
Moreover the increase in the sale OF
postage stamps, caused by the increase
of the postage on drop letters from one
to two cents, has more than offset the
shrinkage in box rents. On September
LIST, 1897, the free delivery system was
introduced through Mr.. McWhorters
efforts and four carriers are now Kept
busy continually. Since Mr.. McWhorter
took the Office one clerk has been added
and an increase of $500 in the approprl-
o,ion for clerk hire has been made
During Mr.. McWhorters term OF Office
many improvements have been made
and no one will dispute the fact that ne
has served the city conscientiously and
we'll.
