Commodore Schley inspected the har-
Dor Notifications of Santiago after the
surrender. He found that they were
not so formidable as had been supposed,
and that it was probable that if the
feet had entered the harbor. as he said
it could, the warships would not have
been seriously damaged by shore bat

REMINDER OF THE MAINE,
Lesson of Captain McGreRor's Recent Elk
pertinent In Exploding Harbor Mines.

Lesson Of Captain McGregor's Recent Ex-
pertinent In Exploding Harbor Mines.
The experiment of Captain McGregor
in exploding in the presence of an as
sembled body Of spectators one of the
New York harbor mines that had been
cut from its moorings and beaten and
battered out Of shape without exploding
was significant lesson.
1t showed conclusively that the mod
ern submarine mine is not constructed
to be exploded by accidental contact. It
is far too costly and it's mission is too
important to be exposed to the risk Of
mere accident. It is complicated scien-
tific instrument which can be exploded
only by an electrical current discharged
by an expert having control of the firing
apparatus.
The McGregor experiment proves con-
clusively that the explosion which
wrecked the magnificent Maine and
murdered 266 of her brave sailors could
have been. nothing else but the result of
a cowardly and treacherous plot DELHI
erately planned and carried out for the
purpose of wreaking ruin and murder
on an American ship in Spanish har-
Dor under Spanish protection. The les
son of the McGregor experiment is,
