AS to whether the Maine explosion
was external or internal, we have four
unimpeachable Spanish witnesses in the
hulks of Cervera's ships whose maya
zines blew up. These wrecks prove
conclusively, if further proof was
needed, that the Maine was not blown
up from the inside. Cervera's ships in
their atonement for that crime bear
silent witless to its enormity.

PIG IRON AND STEEL STATISTICS.

Advance sheets of the fourteenth
edition Of the Directory of the Iron
and Steel Works of the United States"
issued by the American Iron and Steel
Association, contain some facts that
will prove somewhat surprising to
those not in close touch with the iron
and steel trade.
One of these facts is the decrease in
number and great increase in capacity
of the pig iron furnaces within a few
years. Six years ago there were $50
blast furnaces on the active list, with
a production of 9,157, 900 gross tons of
pig iron. During the first six months
of the present year there have been
less than 200 furnaces in active opera
ton, but the production of pig iron
a month.
Thus with decrease of IS per cent
in the number of actual furnaces there
has been an increase of II per cent in
actual production. A number of new
furnaces are under construction, and
when these are completed the annual
capacity will be increased to over
100000 tons of pig iron, or double
the production of six years ago. with
much less than half the number of
plants.
The statistics Of steel production
are not less suggestive of great
changes. There has been decided
check in the production OF Bessemer
steel, no new plants having been COM
ntrpcted in the last two and half
