HAVANA HARBOR WAS MINED.
Naval Attache ColweIl Has Evidence
to Prove the Fact.

Naval AttRche Colwell Has Evidence
to Prove the Fact.
London, April "Details have been
obtained of the manufacture of sub
marine mines in London for Spain,
which was first brought to the atten-
ton of the United States embassy and
cabled to the United States on March
5. A man whose cards describe him as
being an electrical engineer, and whose
name was forwarded at the time to
Washington, then said he sold to Span
ish officers in London, several years
ago, large number of mines. eight or
ten of which were placed IN Havana
harbor. He said they were made in a
special way, had a specially construct
ed cable, which he can identify if the
smallest piece is produced, and he
added that some of the mines were
fixed so that they could be fired from
a fort, while two Of them had bulbs
so arranged that they would explode
upon a vessel coming into contact with
them. The man added, however, that
he did not believe the bulbs would be
used in water as shallow as that Of
Havana harbor. Finally the man ex-
hibited plans of one of these mines,
which he said was the most likely to
produce the effect described as causing
the wreck of the Maine.
Lieutenant Commander ]. G. Colwell,
the United States naval attache, has
since investigated the matter and has
made a report on the subject to the
United States government. The facts
learned strongly tend to show that
Havana harbor was mined, and they
unquestionably prove that Spain pur-
chased mines for that purpose. The
firm of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark
electrical engineers, during 1SS7-S, filled
a large order for Spain of a lot OF
mines, in which were used 141a tons OF
gun cotton. The work was done under
the surveillance of General Fernandez
and Captain Bustamento. The mines
were divided into four consignments-
for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartha,
gena. The mines were manufactured
under the direction of ]. 2. Gibbons

sentative obtains the information, anC
