Admiral Bcnce 1hiuia THAT only Raising
the Maine wm Fxplain Explosion


the Maine wn Espisin Explosion.
NEw YoRK. Feb ~ Rear Admiral
Francis NJ Bunce, commandant Of tho
Brooklyn navy yard, and until few
months ago, commander-in-chief Of
the North Atlantic squadron, 10 which
the Maine was attached, studied pic
lures Of the wreck of the Maine with
interest
"Can you tell from the pictures
whether a mine or IA magazine explo-
sion caused the wreck?"
NO. - he replied. I'VE don't want
TO know what there is above the wa
ter line What we want TO know is
how things look below that line
"Do you think the cause Of the ac-
cident will be known as soon as divers
have been sent down."
81 think IL will be necessary 20
raise the Maine before they can ascer-
tain the true cause of che explosion.
The water in the bay Of Havana is un-
usually dark ] don't think "a diver
could see very far under water; GER
tainly he could not see well enough to
be able to tell what caused the ex-
plosiou.
Electric lights might be used, hut
/ don't think they will furnish sufli-
cient ligh { TO enable the diver to see
so well as he should see in order to as
certain the cause
other officers who were seen in the
navy yard concurred with Admiral
Bunce, saying that il would be neces-
sary to wait until the Maine could be
raised before forming an opinion as to
the cause Of the blowing up.
The officers called attention to the
fact that divers alone could not tell
how the Maine was lost. They said
that the divers who were accustomed
to working around wrecked ships had
no experience in looking into wrecked
ships, especially warships Of the mod
ern class.
1t was said that It might be neces.
sary for some of the members of The
court of inquiry TO make the descent
and see for themselves. Nearly al
the naval officers who attended the
torpedo school at Newport learned
diving. 1t was pointed out that al
ordinary experienced diver would be
unable to testify with any degree o
accuracy as to the immediate cause o
the explosion.

WAsHiNoloN, Feb %. The sociat
courtesies which the government in
tended 20 extend the officers Of the
Nizcaya have been abandoned on aC-
count OF the Maine catastrophe As a
result the stay Of the Nizcaya at
New York probably will be materi-
ally shortened, and she is likely TO
sail within the next three days, prob
ably on Thursday next The ship
probably will proceed direct to Ha-
vana, not stopping at Charleston or
other ports, as had been suggested
during the earlier preparations.
The Nizcaya will not coal at New
York. according TO the understanding
here, nor viii it be necessary for her
TO take coal before reaching Havana
This determination gives relief to the
authorities here, as the taking on OF
coal in time of public excitement is
attended with more or less risk, the
coal afrording an opportunity to eN-
trcmists for the secretion Of explo.
sives, despite the utmost precaution
that may be taken.
