Maine Blown Up.

New York, Nov. 25.-The World
tomorrow >Sill publish letter from
Havana stating United States Of
ficials, after months OF secret investi-
cation, have discovered that the
battleship Maine was blown up by
gun cotton torpedoes planted in the
bay for the purpose. The gun cotton,
700 pounds of which was used, was
sent from Barcelona to Admiral
Manterola, commanding the port
OF Havana, and was either stolen
from the magazine where the stuff
was stored or taken away with the
knowledge Of the officials in charge.
Admiral Monterola's record will
undoubtedly show the names OF his
subordinates who had direct control
Of the explosives, end in that way
the identity Of the authors and ex-
ecutioners Of the plot to destroy the
Maine may be discovered.
Two or three men were engaged
in the destruction of the Maine. A
steam launch CT Spanish make and
now used bv the United States gov
eminent in Havana Harbor, con-
veyed the two torpedOes according
to the new evidence, to = point
within few feet of the berth OF the
Name and anchored there. The
torpcdoes we're kept ir position BY
means OF buoys fioated eleven feet
under water and ten feet above the
anchors used to prevent them from
being swept away. The torpedoes
were exploded by contact with the
keel of the Maine as she swung At
anchor.
