REPORT OF THE COURT

Text of the Findings of the Maine Board
of Inquiry.
The following is full text of the re-
port of the court of inquiry:
United States steamship Iowa, 1st rate.
Key West, Fla, Monday, March q,

After full and mature consideration

The United States consul general at

SIGSBEE ON THE STAND.
Commander of the Maine Tells What He
Knows of the Disaster.

COmman der of the Maine Tells " nat he
Knows of the Disaster.
Captain Sigsbee, in testifying before the
court of inquiry which convened in the
harbor of Havana, Monday, Feb. 81, said
that he assumed command of the Maine
on April 10, 1897, and that his ship arrived
in the harbor of Havana the last time
Jan. %, 1898. The authorities at Havana
knew of the Names coming, Consul Gen
eral Lee having informed the authorities,
according to official custom. He took in
the pilot sent by the captain of the port Of
Havana and the ship was berthed in the
man. of-war anchorage off the Machina,
or the Shears, and according to his under.
standing, was one Of the regular buOys
of the place. He then stated that he had
been in Havana in 1872, and again in 1898.
He could not state whether the Maine
was placed in the usual berth for men-of
war. but said that he had heard remarks
since the explosion, using Captain Stew
ems. temporarily in charge of the Ward
liner City of Washington authority for
the statement that he had never known in
al his experience, which covers visits to
Havana for five or six years. vessel of
war to be anchored at that buoy; that he
had rarely known merchant vessels to be
anchored there, and that it was the least
used buoy in the harbor. In describing
the surroundings when first moored
to this buoy, Captain Sigsbee
stated that the Spanish man.
of-war Alfonso XIII was moored
in position now occupied by the Fern
about 25 yards to the northward of the
wreckage of the Maine. The German
ship Griesenau was anchored at the berth
now occupied by the Spanish man-of-war
Legaspe which is about 400 yards about
due north from the Maine. He then To-
Gated the German man-of-war Charlotte,
which came into the harbor day or two
later which was anchored to the south

How to Detect San Jose Scale.

In looking for the San Jose scale most
persons will pass it by unnoticed OH &C.
count of it's very small size. The female
scale is only about one twenty fifth of
an inch in diameter, while the male is
only about one-half that size. The shape
Of the female is nearly circular, while
the male is more elongated. The female
is sharply convex Or conical in the
center. This last character will help to
distinguish it from many Of the other
more common species. Its color is near
~ like the bark on which it is found.
Another distinguishing character is
found in the reddish discoloration of the
bark Immediately surrounding the
scale, extending through both the outer
and inner bark. These characters will
enable one with an ordinary pocket mag
nifying glass to readily detect the pres
ence of the insect.-Professor Throop,

ENSIGN POWELSON.
What He Saw For Himself and What the
Divers Told Him.

DIVERS 1OlO ttlm.
Ensign w. V. T. Powelson was called
the third day of the court. He testified
that he had been present on the Maine
every day from the arrival of the boat
Fern, and during a great deal of the
diving He first gave technical descrip-
ton of the condition of the wreck as
nearly accurate as possible from his own
observations.
Ensign Powelson then asked if the
court meant for him to say anything
about what the divers reported or just
what he saw.
The Judge advocate replied that he
would like to have him state any impor-
tant discoveries which might lead the
court to draw some conclusion as to the
cause, and if diver gave such informa
ton to state the divers name. Before do
ing so the judge advocate asked witness
to state if the forward and after part of
the ship were in line. Ensign Poweison
replied that as far as he could judge they
were not. The end where the explosion
occurred seemed to be pushed from port
to starboard from five to ten degrees, he
should judge, with the apex to the star

Z. In the opinion of the court the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion

partial explosion of two or more of her

ing Evidence.
WASHINGTON, March 29-The i'm.
mense mass Of testimony taken by the
Maine court of inquiry was sent to the
senate, and with the presidents mes
sage and findings Of the court was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign
relations. The testimony was taken
on Is different days, the 18th day, how
ever, being devoted to viewing the
wreck. Every witness who was known
to have any information that could
throw light upon the great disaster was
called to give his testimony. The story
of the destruction of the vessel is told
not graphically but in a manner which
gives all the obtainable facts. No tech.
meal detail is omitted. Every move
ment and incident connected with the
Maine from the time she left Key West
until the
Last Diver Examined the Wreck,
slowly sinking in the mud of Havana
harbor is given. 1t is story intensely
interesting to the people. Those who
read it could have little doubt as to
whether there was an internal explo.
sion. Perhaps the most significant
testimony is that showing the bottom
plates on the port side OF the Inflated
Maine to be bent inward and upward,
a result that hardly could have fol-
lowed anything save an explosion from
the outside A mass of testimony is
submitted showing the care exercised
on board the ship by Captain Sigsbee
and his officers and the apparent I'M
possibility of the accident occurring by
any internal cause.
Sigsbee's Story the Most Important.
The testimony of Captain Sigsbee is
of the greatest Importance and perhaps
is of more general interest than that of
any other man called before the board.
With great care and minutenes she gives
an account of the management of the
ship, how she was handled, what was
done from day to day on board, how
she sailed into Havana, her anchorage
and what he knew about it and in fact
every point upon which the govern
ment and the country desires to be in
formed. Nothing in Captain Sigsbee's
testimony shows that the anchorage
was changed or that it was considered
dangerous by any one.
Second to the importance of the tes-
timony of Captain Sigsbee is that of
Ensign Powelson who had charge of
the divers and knew from day to day
What the Divers Found.
This officer was infinitely informed as
to the construction of the Maine and
everything about her. His testimony
was to a certain extent a technical
bearing upon the construction of the
ship, her plates, ETC., but it was from
these plates and this technical knowl-
edge that he was able to declare that
the explosion took place from the out
side.
The divers, Morgan, Olsen and
Smith, all contributed important evil
dence They testified that the plates
were bent inward on the bottom port
side and outward on the starboard side.
Nothing in the testimony fixes re-
sponsibility. No conspiracy is ap-
parent and no knowledge of the plant
mo Of q mine is shown

How and When to Sow Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be sowed about the
time OF sowing oats. The quantity Of
seed needed depends much upon the
manner Of covering If ten pounds of
seed can be properly distributed over an
acre and covered uniformly to the prop
er depth and conditions turn so as to
cause threefourths of the seed to grow,
the alfalfa will be too thick AS usual
~ planted many of the seeds get into
the ground so deep that the plants new
er come up, others are covered so slight
~ that only with the most favorable
weather can the young plants survive
the spring winds. 1t is, therefore, usu-
ally advised to sow Is pounds Of seed
per acre, and not a few sow 20 pounds
The writer has for two seasons secured
very satisfactory stands with IL pounds
per acre.-kansas Farmer.
