TO RAISE THE MAINE.
Golfer Dam to He Built Around the
Wreck ut Havana.

Wreck ut Havana.
A dispatch to the New York Sun from
New Orleans last night says: The steamer
Morgan, just arrived from Havana, brought
back five of the American contractors who
went down there, accompanied by divers
and others, to bid on the contract for rails
ing the wreck of the American battle ship
Maine. There We're twelve bids in all, that
of a Chicago firm being accepted Its offer
was to raise the Maine at it's own cost and
give the United States government per
cent of the proceeds.
All the contractors agreed tflat the Maine
could be raised, but that the job would be
difficult A Golfer dam must be built entire
ly around the wreck. 1t will be constructed
of long pilings, and then embarked with
dirt, making 1t water-tight. Then the water
can be pumped out of the inclosure, leaving
the wreck exposed in the mud. Derricks
and powerful lifting machinery will then be
brought into use and the hull lifted from Ats
bed of mud. If 1t can be patched up so
that it will float, that Will be done If If
cannot be raised 1t will be torn to pieces,
while the Golfer dam keeps back the water.
The divers found that the wreck had set
tied some forty feet in the SOFT mud the
bottom of the ship being sixty feet below
the low-tide mark. The cost of raising the
vessel is estimated at from 500, 900 to $780,
600. Its value when raised cannot be esti-
mated, but some of the contra cters <theught
it might be worth 100000. One of the con-
tractors thought that If the vessel sceH}d be
loated il would be worth 81 ,O0O, 600. The
general impression was that Il could not be
hoated
vessel containing 800 tons of powder intact
ard uninjured. All the divers and survey.
ors agreed that the Maine had been blown
up by mine set off from a land battery.
