DIVER QUESTION SETTLED.
The officials here intimate that the
discovery of pieces of torpedoes Is not
! RI he taken in itself as evidence of an
outside attack upon the vessel. for It
i fully expected that of the eight tor
Dedoes on the Maine some We're more or
! less ruptured and scattered by the eX-
nlcsion which destroyed the ship.
The apparent difficulty attending the
sending down of divers to the Maine was
relieved. if not entirely removed, by Il
statement to-day by Senior Du Bose
i Charge D'Affairs of the Spanish LeSa-
ton. that a complete and harmonious
understanding etwee Captain SlSSDee
and the authorities at Havana had been
,oacba1 on tha matter of divers and
that the Spanish authorities viewed the
Maine as eXtra-territorial that IS. 4
mart of the sovereignty territory of the
United States. the same as a Unlted
States Legation situated in foreign ter
r;+orv. With the Maine holding its
s+atus as eytra-tprritorial all doubts as
10 work on the wreck are removed. The
waters of Havana harbor are of course
Spanish territory. and some CONFUSION
had beer aroused by the idea that this
jurisdiction over the waters attached
ALSO to the wreck in its present helpless
condition at the bottom of the bay.
4 dispatch was received to-day from
Admiral Sicard at Key West last night
speaking of the assembling of the court
of inquiry.

"Secretary of the Navy:
"Bache sailed from Key West for
Havana with the divers and stores for
the Maine. The Iowa comes to Key
West on the 10Th and the Sampson
Court of Inquiry on the Maine as
SembleS ON the arrival here of Mark.
The Massachusetts and Indiana are at
Tortugas. Fifteen officers and forty-seven
men from the Maine have been distri-
buted at Key West Marine Hospit-
al and the Army barracks. More are
duo here on the 10Th hv the Mangrove.
J shall hold all at Key West pending the
Court of Inquiry. No one of the twenty
one apprentices that the Texas took
from New York city for the Maine was
one board that ship"
