stated, viz: that the courts
report must not be expected
soon. The second and most
important conclusion - the
one which even the most
conservative observers must
have reached ere now-is
that at the end of the first
weeks work the probability
is more remote than ever that
the board can ever attribute
the Maine disaster to acci-
dental and interior causes.
The weeks work has hardly
been one that tends for peace.
Just in proportion as that fact
has become palmer in the
light of the testimony taken
the evident purpose of the
court Of inquiry to make haste
slowly has forced itself upon
those who watch its course.
Had it been possible early
in the investigation with rea-
sonable certainty that the
Maine calamity was a misfor-
tune only and not a crime the
continued suppression of that
conclusion would have served
the interests neither of the
United States nor Spain. On
the contrary, had the facts
tended to show an accidental
origin of the explosion all
the peace : loving, sober
minded people would have
rejoiced to see even partially
lifted the dark cloud that now
menaces both nations, and
the conservative newspaper
press of America would have
welcomed the opportunity to
relax the dangerous tension
that now prevails.
1t was in the hope of some
such early assurance that the
Herald representative watch
ed the first weeks proceed
ings of the court. That hope
has almost vanished. The
testimony thus far adduced
points overwhelmingly in an

the work done or reports
made by divers up to the
present time. | am inclined
to believe some such feeling
exists and that it is partly re-
sponsible for the naval courts
contemplated return to Ha-
vana in time to observe the
work of the more efficient
Wrecking apparatus now en-
route from New York. In
connection with the work of
divers it is painful to have to
record that one of these men,
Martin Riordan, hitherto at
tached to the fleet, was. yes
terday returned to Key West
in deep disgrace and will
probably be court-martialed.
The crime of which he stands
accused is no less heinous
than that of pilfering from
the sea chests of dead
sailors and appropriating to
himself various things of
value which it was his duty
to bring to the surface and de-
liver to the proper authorities.
One. seaman's chest in the
berth deck is said to have
contained savings aggregating
more than $1,000. The diver
had been. under suspicion.
He was watched by other
divers while at work and the
suspicious verified. Yester-
day his quarters were search
ed and many trinkets and
articles of value are said to
have been recovered. On his
arrival at Key West the rep
resentatives of a sensational
New York paper promptly
made overtures to him to sell
what information he had
gathered under water.
Some effort has been made
and further effort will proba-
bly, be made to give undue
importance to certain testi-
many taken by the { naval
court Friday from a party.of
Cubans resident in Havana.
The story of these men was
to the effect that on a ferry
boat. crossing the bay one
night some days prior to the
Maine disaster, they over
heard a suspicious conversa-
ton between two Spaniards,
whose identity they did not
then and do not now know. Ac-
eording to their tale conspirator
No. 1 was heard to remark to
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-02-28

So grave an impression
was made on the court at this
discovery that the board, not
content with the immediate
personal inspection of the
wreckage. which seemed to
confirm all Ensign PoWelson
had said, directed him to pre-
pare at once elaborate draw
ings illustrating the points
made in his evidence. These
drawings Mr.. Powelson pro-
duced yesterday when re-
called for re-examination by
the naval court, and they will
doubtless be filed with the
official report when made to
the department at Washing
ton.
Nor is Ensign Powelson's
testimony unsupported by
other evidence similar in i'm
port. The further the work
of the submarine divers pro-
crosses the more they bring
to light which tends toward
the same unwelcome conclu-
sion. Both the E and 10 inch
magazines have been sue
cessfully entered, and in each
some most significant condi-
tions have been found. The
Innings of the magazines in
places are entirely free from
evidences Of fire or explo-
sion. Slx-inch shells have
been found in the magazines
intact and unexploded. Every

opposite conclusion. That is
why we are moving so de-
liberately. The Navy Depart
ment needs time and will
make good use of it. I'm
doubtedly the most import
ant evidence yet taken is that
of Ensign PoWelson, the
grave purport of which was
carefully outlined in Fridays
Call and Herald. Mr.: Powell
son is one of the most accom-
plished of the younger officers
of the navy, especially in 1.-The
arts of naval construction, to
which he has given years of
faithful study. His views
even as a theorist would have
great weight with the naval
board, in the personnel of
which, curiously enough, there
is not a single officer who is
really eminent in that branch
of naval work: But in Ensign
PoWelson'S evidence the ma
val court is confronted by a
condition and not a theory,
a condition SO clearly demon
strated by him as to all but
carry conviction. His exploit
in discovering tie green
painted plates from the very
bottom of the ship at a point
in the Wreokage which indi-
Gates they were forced up
ward from their normal posi-
ton to a height of some twen-
ty feet has been the sensa-
ton of the week. Coupled
with the other discovery that
in common with most of the
other wreckage from the
ships interior these plates
were. not only heaved upward
by some titanic force excited
from some blow, but also dis
tinctly in the direction from
the port to starboard side.
This fact points most omin-
ously, it cannot be denied, to
an explosive force directed
primarily. at least, from the.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-02-28

where IS abundant evidence
of a terrific conclusion, but
there are equally plain condi-
tons which naval officers re-
gard as inconsistent with the
theory of a primary explosion
having occurred. In both
the o-inch and Io-inch maya
zines are found many of the
powder cylinders which,
though smashed and dented
by conclusion. have obvi-
ously not been exploded, as
the large-grained brown hex
agonal powder contained in
these cylinders is stored in
bags which in turn are packed
within cylinders themselves,
and ordinary excelsior is used
in the spaces between. Some
of these bags and much of
the excelsior have been found
unscathed by fire. The pow
der for the most parthas van
ished, am told. This was
explained to me by a naval
officer as follows; Some of
the powder caps were opened
by the conclusion which
smashed them. The subse-
quent sinking of the ship
flooded the broken powder
cylinders and the action of
the water soon disintegrated
the powder, which, of course,
ran out of the bags in thick
ink-like solution and soon
disappeared, leaving little
more than a sediment adher-
ing to the bags. One of the
6-inch breech-loading rifles
from the port battery has
been located well over on the
starboard side of the wreck.
Its breech blocks have been
discovered.
All OF these discoveries |
understand have. been de-
tailed at great length before
the court of inquiry. During
the examination of PoWelson
yesterday, and also during the
testimony of Diver Andrew
Olson and others, Captain
Chadwick was particularly
active in the cross-examina-
ton, whether from a simple
desire to elicit every available
fact or any feeling of skepti-
cism on his part of course it is
impossible to say. 1t has
been persistently .rumored,
however, that the naval court
is not wholly satisfied with
