NAMES MACHINE INTACT
Which Indicates That the Explosion Was
Not on the Warship.

A report was made public to the effect
that the divers sent down to look for the
bodies of victims had discovered that the
forward magazine was in tact
This information is of tho utmost im-
portance Should 1t prove correct it
leaves noroom for doubt as to the cause of
the Maine horror.
lsNo other internal explosion could so
completely demolish the big battlcship,
consequel tly the Maine disaster must have
resulted from eXtroncnous cause.
In short, it now seems certain that n
fixed mine in Havana harbor exploded
by Spanish treachcry, caused tho d05truc-
ton of the big warshiD and hurled so
many gallant sailors into eternity.
..Robort L. Lincoln, Secretary of War
under President Garfield and Arthur
and former United States Minister to
England, says that in case of accident,
or If a mino was exploded by a Spanish
fanatic, Spain would nuJ BE- burdened with
any legal responsibility for the destruction
of the Maine. A government Is in no way
respon sble for acts of private citizors.
