THE U. S. forces have been in posses

The U. S. forces have been in posses
sion of Havana for nearly two years
but have as yet found no wire leading
from the shore to the wreck OF the
sunken ship Maine. No intelligent
man believes that if there is, or had
ever been, such wire, the knowledge
of it would have been concealed ali
this time. Then, too, though many
proposals have been made by practical
marine engineers to raise the sunken
vessel, some without cost, in order
that the real cause of her sinking may
be discovered, the administration has
nersistently refused to accept any OF
them. But i. did look with favor upon
a request of some navy people to nave
the wreck blown 10 pieces with dyna-
mite, which, of course, would have e.
fectually prevented any such discovery

the alteration of certain figures at the
