brought 10 the attention of the War Department
the propriety OF making some arrangement for

which she IL embedded In Havana Harbor. He
says that not only are there sentimental reasons
FOR raising the wreck owing 10 the fact that ac-
cordng To common belief the remains II forty or
fftv American sailors within the sUnken hulk,
but that the heavy steel structure Is also menace
and obstruction to navigation in the harhor or

the bids ranging from 100000 to SlOOOO. Several
tentative arrangements were made with enterpriS-
ing contractors who wished 10 the material OF
the wrecked ship to make souvenirs. but they have
ali failed. and Secretary Root, ON securing more
detailed statement OF the facts from General Wood,
will submit the question TO Congress probably
