Wreck of the Maine is Not
Worth Raising,

New York, Feb. 25.-A dispatch 70 the
Herald from Havana says:
"'r'here is no longer any reason to doubt
that the explosion which wrecked the
Maine came from underneath the vessel,
and that her magazines had nothing to do
with the initial explosion and played a
much smaller part in the general explo-
sion than was at first supposed.
THE evidence that has served to con-
vince the board was given by Ensign
PoweIlson, an officer attached to the
Fern. Mr.. Powellson was formerly in
the construction corps and took a two
years special course in the Glasgow school
of naval architecture. He is therefore
a competent witness. What he discovered
was that the forward keel of the Maine
ribs and plates are stove upward so far
that parts of the doubled bottom show
out Of the water, and in places sections
of the green painted outer hull are visi-
bic.
Corroborative of evidence given by En-
sign Powellson and of equal significance
and Importance is the result of the close
examination made by the divers. What
they found indicates that the explosion
came from a point beneath the keel. a
plumb line dropped from a point just
forward Of the coming tower would have
laid the lead exactly on the spot where
the explosion occurred that hove keel
and plates and ribs almost to the sur
face.
1.-The main force Of the explosion seems
to have been exerted slightly on the
port side of the vessel This is consist
ent with the facts hitherto obtained.
collectively these now indicate that
the contents Of the reserve six-inch mag
azine were exploded by the initial blast
and that there was no explosion in either
of the other two. In the reserve maya
zine was slowed $500 pounds of powder
in copper tanks, each Of which contained
200 pounds.
Several Of these tanks have been found
by the divers, all in crushed and shape
less masses 1t is important to note that
the six-inch and ten-inch tanks recover
ed the excelsior used for packing the
charges shows no injuries from fame or
gases.
THE powder slowed in the six-inch re
serve magazine was used for saluting
purposes only. The magazine itself ap-
pears TO have been utterly destroyed.
only a few traces being left to show the
spot where it was once located.
1.-THE under part Of the ten-inch maya
zine is wholly inaccessible TO the divers.
In the upper part is tightly wedSed a
mass Of powder cylinders too heavy for
divers to extricate, but apparently con-
tanning uuexploded charges Of powder.
The Dow torpedo tube of the Maine has
been located in the wreck. 1t lies in the
debris forward, submerged several feet
under wafer.
THE huh is now imbedded in the mud
70 the denth Of eight feet. The divers
sink TO their armpits in mud and have the
greatest difficulty in prosecuting their
work. Those engaged on the forward !
part of the ship are under the charge Of !
Gunner Charles Morgan, an officer spe-
rally detailed from the flagship New
York for that purpose, and who has the !
reputation Of being the most efficient of
his rank"

| from any of the officials a statement of
| the nature of his business in the south,
for it was known that he had arrived in
Tampa on the Montgomery from the
West Indies. The officer himself was not
very communicative as to the details of
his trip, but he did say that he had been
in Domingo. He had gone there on the
Brooklyn with his son when the ship
started for st. Thomas. While in San Do
mingo he had received news of the dis
aster to the Maine and took advantage
of the opportunity presented by the ap-
pearance in San Domingo of the cruiser
Montgomery to make his way back to the
United States and 10 Washington.
There was no word from either Captain
Sigsbee or Consul General Lee this morn
ing at the navy and state departments.
The Monitor Terror was lying in
Hampton Roads and it was said at the
navy department that she had no orders
as yet. The impression was that she
would remain in that place, which is one
of great stragetlc value in case of need.
at least until the monitor Puritan is
ready to take her place. The Puritan is
almost twice as big as the Terror. being
a 6.00O-ton vessel, very little less than the
Maine in size. She carries twelve-i inch
guns in her turrets, against ten-inch
guns for the Terror, and is altogether
the most formidable double-turreted mon
itor in the world in smooth water This
qualification does not mean that she is
unable to keep the sea. but only that from
her great breadth and light draft she is
so susceptible to the wave motion that
it is difficult to make good work with her
guns in a sea way. She is now having
new furnac es fitted to her boilers at the
Norfolk navy yard. the crowns of the
furnaces having come down some time
ago owing to the fact that the boilers
are the same that were built for her
when she was originally laid down, many
years ago. It is said at the navy depart
ment that she will be ready for service
about the 4th of next month.
Captain Sigsbee asked yesterday whether
he should endeavOr to save the old ma
terial in the superstructure of the Maine
which from the pictures appears to be
heaped up over the boiler spaces. He has
been told to let this go. as it is valuable
only sa old iron which would not pay to
bring back to the states.

SENATE ARTILLERY BILL

Washington, Feb. 25.-A long and some
what exciting debate over the question of
river and harbor appropriations was pre-
cipitated in the house during the consid-
Grafton Of the sundry civil appropriation
bill. 1t was practically agreed by all
those who participated that there would
be no river and horbor at this session Of
congress. and this led Mr.. Moody to at
tack the contract items carried in the
sundry civil bill. He selected an appro-
priation of $3.50, 900 for Rockland, Maine.
which is in Mr.. Dingley's district. and his
remarks in denunciation Of what he
termed favoritism approached the sensa-
tional. Mr.. Dingley denied that he had
ever suggested the appropriation TO the
committee on appropriations or to any
individual member of the committee. II
was !ntimateG that there was a plan to
defeat ali the items in the bill, so as TO
force consideration Of a general river and
harbor bill, hut this intimation was not
borne out by the vote upon the amend
ment upon which the debate rested. Only
four pages of the bill were disposed of to-
day. Tbs senate amendments 10 the rmy
appropriation bill were agreed to without
debate

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Hostilitics Have rs Yet Worked No
Change i'm Them.

NEW YORK, April pr. G.. Dun e
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade viii say:
HOstillties have not as yet changed last
weeks conditions. There IS much post
ponement of orders by men who do not
know what they are waiting for ana
much restriction or loans by banks which
are abundanuy strong. All this checks
new business and yet the volume OF
transactions through clearing house IS
per cent. larger than in the same week
OF 1892, with no foreign trouble.
Many have been asserting. about every
day for tho last two weeks. that wheat
speculation had eliminated. but the price
has in that time advanced Il IL cents.
Receipts .. 726. $50 bushels at the West this
week against 15j2.S1j a year ago, and
averaging 10000 bushels per week for
January. February and March, show no
exhaustion of supplies, while exports
amounting 10 3, 7O4.675 bushels from Allan
ito ports against 3l7S last year, and
7S6O18 from Pacific ports against 1854
last year -four included i'm all cases
make exports for the four weeks l2.O33
76S from Atlantic and 2.SS0.020 from Paci-
nc ports. and for the crop year thus tar
$4,000. 6lS bushels against l2ll5S,oA during
the same months and weeks Of last year
Corn exports for the week were 30S.2SO
bushels against 302q0 DAG last year and
against L., 2jO 207 last year. This makes
about 15l.OOOO0O for the crop year. No
such foreign demand FOR both grains has
ever been known, and IL does not seem
to be satisfied at all as yet.
Confusing accounts of the great indus
tries cannot cause surprise I'm view OF the
contradictory influence OF monetary strin-
gency curtailing many orders heavy or
lders by the government in many
branches. and all-pervadlng confidence
that after temporary conditions have
passed business Is going to be better.
The consumption Of iron is still greater
than ever. though many structural and

though the price has since declined again
10 go. Supplies have been larger i'm
some previous years than they are now,
and yet are enormous, and the demand
for goods is still hindered by the great
stocks in sight or reported.
Woollen manufacturers are doing rather
better large government orders helping
some works, while other demands are
more encouraging.
T3ilures for the week have been 262 I'm
