That a portion of the port side OF

Al, was blow up aft, and over to port.
The main deck from about frame 80
to about frame IL was blown up aft
and slightly over to the starboard
folding the forward part of the middle
superstructure over and ON top of the
after part.
"This was, in the opinion of the
court, caused by the partial explosion
of two or more of the forward maya
zines of the Maine.
cat frame II the outer shell of the
ship, from a point 111a feet from the
middle line of the ship and feet
above the keel when in it's normal
position, has been forced up SO as to
be now about four feet above the sur
face of the water; therefore about "a
feet above where it would be had the
ship sunk uninjured. The outside
bottom plating is bent into a reversed
W shape, the after wing of which,
about Is feet broad and 90 feet in
length (from frame IT to frame 25),
is doubled back upon itself against
the continuation of the same plating
extending forward.
''At frame Is the vertical keel is
broken in two, and the flat keel bent
into an angle similar to the angle
formed by the outside bottom plating.
This break is now about six feet be-
low the surface of the water and about
,, thirty feet above it's normal position
In the opinion of the court, this effect
could have been produced only by the
explosion of mine situated under the
bottom of the ship at about frame IS,
and somewhat on the port side of the
ship.
''The court finds that the loss of the
Maine, on the occasion named, was
not in any respect due to fault or neg
ligence on the part of any of the off,
GERS or members of the crew Of said
vessel.
In the opinion Of the court the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion
Of submarine mine, which caused
the partial explosion of two or more

tain evidence fixing the responsibility
for the destruction of the Maine on

to make the journey the troops
can be moved directly from the camp

to move the troops to the gulf, camp
them again and hold them until the
