THE MAINE TO BE RAISED.
Plans Of the Salvage Company Which viii
Undertake the Work.

Since the sinking Of the Maine in
Havana harbor February Is, 1895 there
have been many rumors that the wrecked
vessel was to be raised by private con-
tractors who expected to be recompensed
for the work by the actual value Of the
vessel and its equipment, and the curiosity
of the public who would be willing to pay
good admission price to view the relic
None of these proposed schemes has re-
suited in any actual work being done
so far as we know but it now appears
from the Engineering News that plans
have been made, and work will soon be
started by salvage company. The United
States government has reinquished all
claim to the battleship, and 1t is now the
property Of the Cuban government, which
desires to remove the obstruction from the
harbor, where it is serious menace to
navigation, The salvage company pro-
poses to build an immense wooden circu-
lar coffer-dam 354 feet inside diameter.
with inner and outer concentric timber
walls spaced S feet apart. The depth of
the water where the Maine sank is about
35 feet down to a mud stratum, and the
mud is about 20 feet deep before a hard
stratum is reached. hence the coffer-dam
may have to be built fully 55 feet high
provided II is found necessary to sink 1t
completely through the mud stratum. 1t
is proposed to build the dam complete and
sink ii around the vessel by loading 1t
with about 1000 tons of ballast Water
will also be admitted within the inner
and outer walls. When the dam has been
sunk to the mud stratum pumping will
begin, which will facilitate the sinking of
the dam through the mud When the
water has been pumped out. the work OF
temporarily repairing the vessel so that
II can be fioated will be done
The company is alive to its opportuni-
ties and will charge photographers a high
price for taking photographs of the work
and of the wrecked vessel as it is un-
covered. They also propose to make up
souvenirs of brass. bronze, and copper,
which will be sold as memeutos. and
will be accompanied by certificates of
Cuban and American officials as to their
genuineness. After the vessel has been
foated, ii will be placed on the Havana
floating drydock and there completely re-
paired. When repaired II is proposed to
exhibit 1t in the principal seaports of the
United States and charge visitors an
entrance fee for the privilege of going
over the vessel. After all these various
sources of revenue have been exhausted
the company will have on its hands a
complete battleship which they will sell
TO some government. The Maine cost the
United States something like IS, ,000, 900 to
build and equip, and the machinery alone
cost S7S5,000 The proposed work is of
great interest from both an engineering
and historical standpoint, as the Golfer
dam proposition is perhaps the most
ambitious of the kind ever projected. and,
II successful, II will restore to the world a
vessel round which much sentiment
centers.-lFrom Machinery.

No cOneeptIon Of Independenee.

Beyond all question the greatest in
justice that can be done the Filipiros
by the American people is to press upon
the Filipinos the possibility of independ-
ence," said Bishop Brent of Manila. in an
address in Baltimore recently. They
want to be let alone. They have no con-
ception of independence. and you have to
go to the lowest type OF the people in the
very slums OF your city. and even lower
than that. II II be possible to obtain an
idea of what the average Filipino is at
this time, am conscious of the fact that
there may be such a thing as child peo-
pie, who need the supporting arm OF a
great government and its protecting care"

walton of the people OF the archipelago
