ban blew up the battleship Maine
with one of his Internal machines.
Mr.. Darling thinks Rosseau is seek

There has been suspicion in official
circles for a long time that the Gu.

the destruction of the Maine, but no
tangible evidence has been found to

Rosseau, who was convicted of
having sent an Internal machine to
the Cunard line pier in New York
two years ago, told his story in the
