SPANISH COURT REPORT.
Findings All to Effect Tint Explo-
sion Was from Inside.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-A full sy-
nopsis of the report of the Spanish Naval
Commission which investigated the de-
struction of the battleship Maine is here
given by the Associated Press. 1t is
taken from copy of the original report
which is now on its way here from Ha-
bana, the synopsis being cabled in the
mean time and to-day placed in the hands
of this government.
The conclusions reached are directly op-
posite to those in the report or court Oh
inquiry submitted to Congress to-day.
The synopsis is as follows:
"T'he report contains the investigations
made by experts. From these the court
deduces the absence of all those attend
ant circumstances which are invariably
present on the occasion Of the explosion
of a torpedo.
1.-The evidence of witnesses comparative
~ close 10 the Maine at the moment is TO
the effect that only one explosion occur
red that no column Of water was thrown
into the air; that no shock TO the side OF
the nearest vessel was felt, nor on land
was any vibration noticed, and that no
dead fish were found.
PLENTY OF FISH IN HARBOR.
"The evidence of the senior pilot Of the
harbor states that there is an abundance
of fish in the harbor, and that this is cor
roborated by other witnesses. The as
sistant engineer of works states that af-
ter explosions made during the execution
OF works in the harbor he has always
found dead fish.
THE divers were unable to examine the
bottom of the Maine, which was buried in
the mud, but a careful examination of the
sides of the vessel, the rents and breaks
in which all point outward, shows. with
out doubt, that the explosion was from
the inside.
"A minute examination OF the bottom
OF the harbor around the vessel shows
absolutely no sign of the action of
torpedo and the fiscal Oudge-advocate)
of the commission can find no precedent
for the explosion of the storage maya
zines of a vessel by torpedo
A "REGRETTABLE REFUSAL"
1.-THE report makes clear that owing TO
the special nature of the proceedings fol-
lowed and the absolute respect shown
for the 'extraterritorialidad of the Maine,
the commission has been prevented from
making such an examination of the inside
of the vessel as would determine even the
hypothesis of the internal origin of the
accident. This is TO be attributed TO the
regrettable refusal to permit Of the ne
cessary cooperation of the Spanish COM
mission both with the commander and
crew of the Maine and the different
American officials commanded TO investi-
gate the cause OF the explosion. and the
wreckers employed In salvage work"
The report finishes by stating that the
further examination of the inside and out
side of the Maine. as soon as it may be
possible, and also OF the bottom on which
she rests, will prove, supposing the wreck
not to be altered. that the explosion was
undoubtedly due to some interior cause"

Mr.. Doyle Rode, and Mr.. Disney
Pushed.

A large crowd gathered at the corner
OF Seventeenth and Broad streets last
night to see Mr.. John Doyle take ride
In wheelbarrow. Mr.. Doyle and Mr.
John Disney made a bet concerning the
outcome of the city sergeancy contest,
in the recent primary. and as a result
Mr. Disney was forced 10 push a barrow
and Mr.. Doyle up Seventeenth street to
the Chesapeake and Ohio shops and re-
turn. The programme was carried out
with pyrotechnic Accomplishments, much
70 the delight OF the spectators, II Is
safe TO say. however, that Mr. Doyle de-
rived no more enjoyment from the ride
than did Mr.. Disney In pushing the bar
row.
