Should it be proven that the Maine

President Mckinley will demand an in
dsmnity of from S13, ,0G0 to S15.-

This statement was made to-day by
an officer of the Navy Department who
IS thoroughly conversant with the
present Spanish situation.
1t was decided at a conference of
the President and several Cabinet Off
GERS to-day" he continued, that the
Spanish Government was bound to pro-
tect the vessels of a friendly nation in
one of its harbors, and that if the
Maine was destroyed by a submarine
mine or torpedo, whether with knowl-
edge of officials or not, that Govern
ment must be responsible. The value
of the vessel is estimated at 5000.
600. The rest is to be paid to relatives
of officers and men who lost their lives

AS to its being an accident, he says.
Il is not improbable; that while a SIM

of our war vessels, there are at least
two instances where the timber was

A torredo or mine exploded in the
bottom OF the harbor would disturb the

feet of the top. il might cause the
water to shoot up as high as 200 feet.

Guyre, for more than thirty years
diver in both salt and fresh waters, who
helped to raise the Milwaukee,,

be saved. He said
There is no question about the feas-
ibility of raising the Maine. if she has
enough of her hull clinging together to
stand patching. There is also no ques-
ton about the divers being able TO de-
termine whether the Maine was sunk
by a torpedo, or just what caused the
explosion which led TO her undoing, if
they are allowed to get down beside
