THE COURT RETURNS.
Its Labors In Havana Seem Ended-Sudden
Determination TO Go to Key West.

Its Labors In Havana Seem Ended-Sudden
Determination TO Go to Key West.
HAVANA, March 1.-THE Mangrove
with the court OF inquiry on board, has
returned to Key West sailing last
night. Captain Sampson, president Of
the board. assured the correspondent
that the decision to leave Havana was
not reached until yesterday afternoon
after a consultation Of the members. 1t
was decided that, while further testi-
mony might be obtained here. this was
not sufficiently likely to justify a lon
ger stay. The court can return If the
divers or wreckers make discoveries
that add TO the stock OF knowledge now
gathered.
The plans of the submerged wreck, In
the preparation Of which Ensign Pow
eson has had a large share, are very
elaborate, and Captain Sampson says
the testimony and records of the divers
are very full.
Captain Sampson hopes the court will
be allowed to resume its sittings on the
battleship Iowa, now near Key West
with the flagship New York. All the Of
icers of the court except Judge Advo-
cate Mark are stationed on the Iowa
or the New York, and on the former the
court could be absolutely free from in
terruptlon, The greater part of the in
yestigation that remains will consist,
unless the court returns here, of a care
full study Of theplans.
IL Is not thought that It will be neces-
sary again to summon the survivors Of
the Maine, officers or men, now at Key
West or scattered throughout the feet
Captain Sampson said. however, that
any such would be summoned If the
revision OF. the testimony showed miss
ING links in the chain that they could
supply.
The court has no prophecy to make
as TO the further duration OF its sit
tlngs or as to when and where the find
ngs will be promulgated. Captain Sigs-
bee VIII probably remain here with
lieutenant Commander Wainwright Ia
Fuperintend the wrecking on behalf OF
the government. Chaplain ChidwicB is
expected to remain to care for any bod
les that may be recovered. AT least no
orders had been received to the con-
trary when this dispatch was sent.
The court called upon Consul General
Lee in the afternoon to bid him fare
We'll and subsequently Captain Sigsbee
said adieu to the court.
