THE INVESTIGATION.
Work Proceeding Undor Diniculties, but
Enough Already Known.

New York, Feb 25.--A dispatch To
The Tribune from Havana, says:
Patience Is necessary on the part OF
the people Of the United States In the
Maine investigation. Notwithstanding
yeHatious delays, real progress Is being
made by the divers. The decision ~.
garding the cause Of the disaster ulti.
matcly rests on their work. Captain
SIMPSONS naval board has been able TO
gain the fullest information showing
that an accident through lack Of dis.
ciplino was impossible This branch Of
the inquiry brings ont what was well
understood, that the officers and crew
Of the Maine werc under the strictest
discipline, because, although on the sur.
face the visit Of the Maine was friendly.
Captain Sigsbce had taken proper pre-.
cautions against hostile action.
The work ot clearing out the bodies
under the hatch proceeds. The sights
arc pitiful aud almost beyond the on.
dunncc of the divers accustomed AS
they aro TO such experiences. The con.
dition In which the bodies aro found
shows that the men, sleeping In their
hunks, must have been driven against
the beams overhead with terrific force.
In many instances the bodies arr charrcd
beyond the possibility Of recognition.
The board has not yc, directed the cx.
animation Of the hull plates While
the divers examinations show that some
OF the smaller magazines may have cx.
ploded, the fact that the lOiuch maga.
zines wcrc not exploded seems TO have
been conclusiycly established.

Newspaper Correspondents Satisfied
Way Maine Was Wrecked.
THEY GIVE EVEN DETAILS.
u T. said That Even the Magazine,
which Was supposed to Have IA
Plodsd, d Intact Washington
Receives Nothing Onicial.

New York, Feb 25.--A dispatch TO
The Herald from Havana says:
There Is no longer any reason 10 doubt
that the explosion which wrecked the
Maine came from underneath the vessel,
and that her magazine had nothing 10 do
with the initial explosion, and played a
much smaller part in the general disas.
ter than was at first supposed.
The evidence sufficient 10 convince
the board was secured from Ensign
POwellsOn. Mr. Powellson was former.
ly IN the construction corps, and took
two years special course In the Glas
gov school Of naval architecture. II.
Is therefore a competent witness
What he discovered was that the for.
ward part of the keel Of the Maine, with
H. ribs and plates, was shot upward 20
far that parts Of the shattered dOuble
decks show out Of water, aud In places
sections Of the green painted outer hull
are visible
CorrobOratiye evidence given by I'm.
sign Powellson of equal significance and
Importance In the result Of the close *.

they found Indicates that the explosion
came from a point beneath the keel. A
plumb line dropped from a point just
forward Of the coming tower would
have laid the lead where tho explosion
occurred that hove the keel and plates
and ribs almost 10 the surface.
The main force Of the explosion
seemed 20 have bcen oxertcd slightly On
the port side Of the vessel This Is con
sistent with the facts hitherto ascer.
tanned.
Collectively, these now indicate that
the contents Of the reserve G-inch maga.
zine were exploded iy the initial blast,
and that there was no explosion in either
Of the other two.
In the reserve hunks were stored 2JOO
pounds Of powder Several Of thcse
tanks have been found by the divers. all
in crushed and .hap elcss masses Il is
important 10 note that in the 6-inch and
lo.inch tanks recovered the excelsior used
for packing the charges shows no injury
from flame or gases
The powder stored In the 6-inch n.
serve magazine was used for aluting
purposes only.
The magazine itself appears 20 have
