1T LOOKS VERY WAR-LIKE.

The Repor. of the Board of Enquiry Into
the Cause of the Destruction of the
Maine Was Presented by President
Mckinley TO Congress on Monday
Briefly. the Report Recites:
First-At the time of the explosion
the battleship Maine was lying in five
and one-half to six fathoms OF water.
Second-The discipline aboard the
snip was excellent; everything
slowed according to orders. The
temperature of the magazines at p.
m. was normal except in the after ten
inch magazine, and that did not ex-
plode.
Inlrd-There were two explosions
with a very short interval between
them; the ship lifted on the first ex-
plosion.
Fourth-The court can form no
definite opinion of the condition of
the wreck from the divers evidence.
Flfth-The court deduces that a
mine was exploded under the ship on
the port side.
Slxth-The explosion was due to
no fault of those on board.
Seventh-Opinion that the explo-
sion OF the mine caused the explosion
OF two magazines.
Eighth-The court cannot find
evidence to fix responsibility.
The report is unanimous.
AS we go to press the situation sum-
married. is as follows: There Is no
longer any doubt that the Maine was
deliberately blown up by submarine.
mine. The responsibility of Spain is
not proved by the evidence before the
Court. She must now prove her innno-
cence OF completely after rigid en-
quiry on lines laid down by our
government, not hers. II Spain fails to
prove tnis, war must result. Cuba and
the Maine disaster cannot be considered
IN the same breath. Regardless of
Spsin's objections the President will
relieve Cuba at once. SPANS depravity
is beyond redemption. Ours is the
right, and therefore to dare to do all
that becomes powerful nation whose
cause is that of common humanity
