NAMES BACK BROKEN.
Doubtful If the Wrecked Vessel
Can Ever be Raised.
The Vessels Keel Has Been Found to be
Broken in Two. With the Ends Three
Feet Apart Another Evidence
of Outside Force.

New YORK. March "A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: The
Names back was broken. Latest dis
cOveries made by divers not only sap
port the information printed by the
Herald concerning the disclosures of
paramount importance made by Ensign
PowelSon, but convince those in charge
of the submarine investigation beyond
all doubt that a mine rent the
United States battleship asunder.
The keel of the ship has been
found in two pieces, the nearest ends
of which are now separated by a dis
lance of from 2l4 to ) feet. The sec
tions are no longer lying in the straight
line, but show the effect of a force
executed from port to starbOard.
1t is evident from the discovery of
the present condition of the keel that
the section of the bottom found 20 feet
from its natural position was wrenched
from the keel by the first explosion
and driven upward. The keel itself vas
fOrcedinthe middle and it was brOkenia
two and then collapsed in two sections,
which fell in the position in which the
divers found them yesterday. Reliable
persons familiar with the results of
high explosives, and with wrecks
above and under water. say that the
breaking of the keel as now disclosed
could not possibly have been done by
an inside explosion alone. in fact,
this last discovery of the manner III
which the Names back was
broken, taken together with
early disclosures, has convinced
the men working about the
wreck that further investigation as to
the in which the ship was
blown up is perfectly useless, and they
consider the question solved beyond
doubt.
The court of inquiry will, of course,
hear evidence of the w-enching apart
of the keel. Divers and officers in
charge will testify. Feeling among
American naval officers in Ha-
a Il is that beyond the recov-
cry Of the dead remains in the
wreck all useful work in connection
with the Maine wreck has beer done.
Letters have been sent from here to
representatives and senators in Wash
ington warning them against voting
for appropriations for raising the
Maine, saying that the work would not
only cost millions, but would not add
anything to the information regarding
the nature OF the explosion. \ photo
graph. which was itself evidence of the
nature of the explosion has been taken.
1t shows the Names dog standing on
part of the wrcckage still above the
water. The fact that the plate upon
which the dog stands came from the
keel of the ship, and vas the lowest
part of the tremendous mass of material
thrown upward and starboard, supports
the theory that the explosion was that
of a mine, and not a torpedo, as the
latter would not have gone SO far be.

Charms and Luck.

More than half the men l know wear in
their pocket some sort of talisman-a coin
of odd date or old or foreign or of strange
metal, the inevitable rabbit foot of the
true graveyard variety, marbles, small
stones, walls, poker chip, a rubber band,
anything found by chance or presented by
a friend. Whenever charm of any kind
fails to bring good luck to the wearer, he
seeks occasion to give it to some dear &C
quaintance, who after trying its potency
for awhile and failing to make it work,
passes it in turn to some one he wants to
get even" with. There is leading citi-
zen of this city who has carried two glass
marbles in his pocket these seven or eight
years, and he has rubbed them together
SO much between his fingers that the hard
or has worn hole in the softer. He would
not part with them for gold and precious
stones. New York Press.
