That the battleship Maine was
blown up by mine beneath 1t as

secretary of war, the secretary OF
the navy and President Mckinley
knew this before war was declared
against Spain; that they knew the

Colonel Jasper Brady, a member of
the board of officers commanded to
investigate. the destruction of the
warship and the deaths of its men.
Colonel Brady's statement was
made in lecture made here last
night. When the battleship Is
raised, he predicted, the truth of
his statement will be substantiated
by the discovery of a big, Jagged
hole in the bottom Of the vessel,
the points of which protrude in
ward. s
Jose Zabaldo. a Cuban electri-
clan, told Colonel Brady said, was
the man who turned the switch,
causing the explosion of the mine.
Zavaldo was afterward shot by
orders of General Blanco.
