IT IS EASY TO TELL.

their health soon enough. If you are mot quite
well' or half sick" have you ever.thought that
your kidneys may be the cause Of your sicknessS
It il easy to tell by setting aside your urine for
% hours; sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition Of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen 1t Is evidence Of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain
or dull ache In the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out Of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the great
remedy, Dr. Kllmer's Swamp Root, fulfllls every
wish In relieving weak or diseased Eidneys and all
forms OF bladder end urinary troubles. Not only
does Swamp Root give new life ami ectlvity to

Ensign Powelson's Testimony.

IL showed chat the ship Was Disrupt-
ed, and that Her Bottom Plates Were
Blown Clean Up through the Wreck
by Submarine Mine.
The most important expert testimony
was that given by Ensign Powelson, who
had charge of the work of the divers. 1t
was largely technical in character. His
investigation showed that the ship was
disrupted by the explosion, and that the
forward end where the explosion occurred
was thrown to one side and out of line
with the remaining part of the ship at an
angle Of to 10 degrees. His most i'm
portant evidence, however, was that which
showed that some of the bottom plates of
the Maine had been forced clean up through
the wreck so that they protruded through
the upper deck. The finding OF these
plates on the top of the wreck clear above
water was among the first and most I'M
portant points of evidence clearly disprov-
ing the possibility of an internal explo-
sion. After infinitely describing the bot
tom plates with their green coating OF
paint and the other marks by which they
we're identified, Powelson stated that they
must have been blown up 3S or 80 feet to
reach their present position. Beside the
pObbOu pldJSbf AOWClSOu oOuO PiPNS
from the bottom compartment lodged in
the angle of the bottom plates that pro-
truded above the water. The berth deck
over this bottom compartment was also on
top of the wreck and 20 feet forward of
the plates, while this section of the main
deck had disappeared.
When questioned as to the cause of any
such result as this Ensign Powelson said,
in substance, that it was due to some out
side force acting from below. The force
of the explosion was cushioned in some
way-probably by being in the water some
distance below. sit struck me-" he said,
"that the mine could not have been very
close to those plates that were lifted up,
because the plates are not so much dam
aged as bent In the form of V and raised
up vertical distance. 1t seems to me
that the mine was somewhat removed and
the pressure came through the water, which
produced that cushion sort of pressure"

SPANS Report.
The Findings OF Its Naval Commission
Directly Opposite from Our own.

The Findings OF Its Naval Commission
Directly Opposite from Our own.
The associated press has cabled to Wash
ington from Madrid synopsis of the re-
port of the Spanish naval commission
which is now on its way to this country
from Havana. The conclusions reached
are directly opposite to those in the report
of the United States court of inquiry sub
mitted to Congress Monday.
The report contains declarations mada
by ocular witnesses and experts. From
these statements 1t clearly deduces and
proves the absence of all those attendant
circumstances which are invariably pres
emit on the occasion of the explosion of a
torpedo.
The evidence of witnesses comparatively
close to the Maine at the moment il To the
effect that only one explosion occurred:
that no column of water was thrown IN
the air, that no shock to the side of the
vessel was felt, nor on land was any vi
bration noticed, and that no dead fish were
found, as has always been the case after
explosions when works were being ex
ecuted in.the harbor. The divers were un-
able to examine the bottom of the
Maine, which was buried In the mud. but
careful examination of the sides of the
vessel, the rents and breaks in which all
point outward, shows without a doubt
that the explosion was from the inside.
minute examination of the bottom of
the harbor around the vessel shows abso-
lutely no sign OF the action of a torpedo.
and the judge advocate OF the commission
can ind no precedent for the explosion of
the storage magazine of vessel by a tor
pedo.
The report finishes by stating that an ex-
animation of the inside and outside of the
Maine, as soon as such examination NAV
be possible, as also of the bottom where
the vessel rests, will prove that, supposine
the remains OF the wreck are not totally or
partially altered in the process of extrac-
tlon, the explosion was undoubtedly due
TO some interior cause.

gig and then proceeding to the Ward line
steamer, City of Washington, where he
found the wounded in the dining saloon
being carefully attended by the officers
and crew of the vessel.
Capt. Sigsbee said that the discipline of
the ship was excellent. He paid tribute
to the crew and said that quieter, better
natured lot of men he had never kno wn on
board any vessel in which he had served.
He had no fault to find with the behavior
of any officer or man at the time of the
disaster and considered their conduct ad-
mirable.

and then settle down before the light of
the explosion went out. The whole thing
was over so quickly that could not have
had guess at the length of time"
Lieut.. Blandin.
Lieut.. John j. Blandin who was watch
officer on the deck of the Maine the night
of the disaster testified that he was stand
ing on the port side of the deck just abaft
the after turret, talking to Lieut.. Hood
when the explosion occurred. He thinks
there were two explosions. AS he went
forward something struck him on the
head, nearly knocking him down. With
in minute after the explosion the for
ward part of the ship was under water. In
less than three minutes she was on the
bottom.
