RAISE MAIN WRECK.
GENERAL WOOD SAYS 1T SHOULD
BE DONE, iAS IT Is A
MENACE TO NAV
IGATION.

Washington, March 27.-GeneraI
Wood has brought to the attention of
the war department, through the med
ium of formal letter, the propriety
of making some arrangement for rails
ing the wreck of the Maine from thu
ooze and mud in which she lies embed
ded in Havana harbor.
1t is stated by him that not only ara
there sentimental reasons for this. ow-
ing to the fact that, according to COM
mon belief, the remains Of forty or
fifty American sailors lie within the
sunken hulk, but this heavy steel
structure is also menace and obstruo.
ton to navigation in the harbor of
Havana, and it is our duty to the On.
baus TO remove it. The expense at.
tached to the undertaking is yerv
heavy, the bids ranging anywhere
from $500, coo to $500, 600.
