How the Maine Was sunk.

when he boarded the destroyed bat

horror. His observation showed
that the Maine had not been blown
up by q torpedo. but BY d submarine
nine. 1t is my opinion says Capt.
Anderson. that the boat was plotted
In by the Spanish authorities and
placed directly above the mine.a
When Captain Anderson presented
his report President Mckinley looked
very grave and asked him II lie felt

diving expert replied that he was,
Still ~unsatisfied the president asked
him to make another investigation.
This he did and returned with the
news that there could be no mistake.

before suspect--that your report will

their opposition to Roosevelt was not
considered by any means an unsur
