The Katahdin, otherwise known as
the Ammen ram, is a freak in naval
architecture, and although opinions
are divided as to her qualities, there is
little doubt that her presence in any
harbor would make an enemy anxious.
She lies mostly under water, with a
turtle back of steel varying in thick
ness from two and one-half to- six inch
es. and the theory of her designer. Ad-
mlral Ammen. was that this armor
plate could not be struck directly by a
shot from another, and that any such
shot would be harmlessly detected by
the sloping steel deck. In action the

about all of the ship that would present

1t was just learned at the navy de-
partment to-day why the Maine was
tied up to buoy in Havana harbor in
stead of anchoring, a fact that has been
the base for some of the theories as to
the cause of the disaster. 1t is stated
that not only a man-of-war at a buoy
Is in much better place for quick

STILL A MYSTERY.
Two Weeks Since the Disaster to the
Battieship Maine.

Two weeks Since the Disaster to the
Battleship Maine.
Washington, March 1.-Two weeks ago
tonight the battleship Maine was de-
stroyed in Havana harbor, and in spite
of the greatest diligence on the part of
the chiefs charged with inquiry into the
affair the cause of the disaster is still
shrouded in mystery so far as any Off
cials in Washington know. Few officials
acquainted with the formidab BILE obstacles
In the way Of operations of the divers are
surprised at this state of affairs. Mean
while the officials of the navy depart
ment have reached the conclusion that
harm is being done by the broaching of
theories to account for the explosion SO
notice has been served upon experts who
have been heard from in the press that IL
Is expected they will no longer discuss
this matter in advance of the report of
the court of inquiry.
An indication that the court of inquiry
is either far from reaching any conelu-
sion or else is disposed, with a view tn
meeting future criticism, to collect all
possible evidence. whether 1t be deemed
essential or not. is the call to their as
sistance of experts. 1t has already been
a matter of comment that with all the
ability comprised in this court of inquiry
1t has one weak spot. namely the lack
OF practical experience of the constrllc-
tion of a ship. This is no part of the duty
OF a line officer, so that no reflection is
carried by the statement To remedy
their shortcomings the court has called
upon the department to send to their aid
a constructor and a carpenter and in
compliance with their request Secretary
Long has directed Naval Constructor
Hoover and Carpenter Helm to report to
the court at Key West. 1t is expected
that they will go to Havana when the
court returns there. and from their fa-
miiiarity with the structure of the Maine
on which both of the men worked when
she was built in the New York navy
yard. they will be of great assistance not
only in suggesting easy methods of work
FOR the divers, but also in identifying
portions of the wreck. The latter consid-

The steam lis kissing Mt all tho

The pistons dance and the drive whcels

The trembling rails till the whole

But never searching eye could trace -
Though the might Is black and the

A line OF fear in the smoke-stained face
OF the man In the greasy overalls.
No hating, wayering coward he,
As he lashes his engine around the
