HAVANA, March 14-The court OF
| inquiry did a god deal OF work yester-
day. examining Ensign Powelson and
such divers of the wrecking company
as have been investigating the wreck.
1t is said thai these divers have been
released from further work of this
kind and instructed to pursue their
Iabors under the Wrecking contract
The court will have the services of
naval divers as heretofore, and if
necessary can call again upon the
civilian divers. 1t is thought that
tn court will close its Iabors here
during the present week and will
rrC5ably re-eXamine some OF the sur
vivors of the Maine at Key West.
This rumor, however. is not officially
verified, the members Of the court in-
sisting that they can TX nc date for

their departure from Havana.

WRECKED BY MINE.
No Doubt To the Manner of the De-
struction of the Maine.

struction of the Maine.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Army
and Navy Register, in its last issue
says:
The Register is in possession of in
| formation, the correctness of which
1t has no reason to question, that GER
tain evidence gathered by the court
OF inquiry at Havana has come in a
semi-official form to the president
from two prominent members Of the
board. The information has been in
the hands of the president since Sun
day and has served for the occasion
| of unusual activity during the pres
ent week
The information is that the Maine
was destroyed by government sub
marine mine, planted in Havana har-
Dor and deliberately exploded. More
than this, it appears the Maine was
purposely moored in the vicinity Of
the mine, and that the explosion o.
CURED at the moment when the ship
had been opportunely carried by the
wind and tide directly over the mine.
These facts have been limited at ana
written about in dispatches from Hd-
vana, Madrid and Washington, and
from the varied statements made the
actual conditions have been touched
upon, but nothing authoritative has
been permitted to escape from the
court. That body is understood to
have completed it's work, but nothing
is likely to be officially promulgated
in regard to its findings for a week
or more. There are obvious reasons
for such action, the objects of which
cannot be defeated by Independent
newspaper statements.
There can be but Cne outcome Of
such report, and preparations for
the inevitable result are being indus
triously and indefatigably prosecuted.
The work of the week, related in de-
tail elsewhere in this issue, shows
that the government at Washington
appreciates the situation, and will be
ready to meet what has now ceased -
