naval court OF inquiry into the loss OF the

different course from that adopted on the

members of the court on the wreck, per

from them direct reports on the structural
condition OF the submerged portions of the
wreck and making individual notes for fu-
ture consideration All sorts of excuses
are made to get on board the wrecA but
only authorized persons. American or
Spanish, are allowed TO set foot on the re-
mains of the battleshp
The court OF Inquiry did very little to-

examined, aud also one diver Consid
cradle time was spent on the wreck. Cap
tain Sampson listened patiently TO various
theories propounded by newspaper men
and others as 10 the causes OF the eSplo-

found in the harbor and boiler iron on the
shore. Evidently he attached little impor-
lance to any of these stories, but he in
timated he would investigate any that he
deemed worthy OF investigation.
