Representative william s1lEsr Of New
York now believes that tho House Of Rep
reasatativss and the Senate Win pass his
bIll calling for the raising Of the Maine
aud that Prenidsnt Taft win sign the measure.
Mr.. s1lRsr said:
The records Of the Navy Department
ahOw that IN men were killed when tho
Maine was blown uD: that twenty-four
bodies we're Immediately recovered and
buried Ia Key West. Fla. that later zee
bodies we're recovered and buried In Ha-
vana: that theas bOdias wsre subsequently,
brought home aud buried In the National
Cemetery 80 Arlington: that a. least sixty
TIRES bOdis- were never recovered or ae-
counted for and are now entombed In the
wreck Of the Maine. For some insxplicable
reason tho Maine has never been raised and
these bodies Of the nation's heroic dead re-
covered and brought home for burial.
Our deFslIctiOn In this maiter Il LITTLE
less than national disgrace. II b becoming
big black blot on our bOasted patrtotisrn.
Public sentiment has demanded for years
that the wreck Of the Maine be raised:
thai the truth Of her destruction be told:
that the deFelict be removed from the chan
nsls OF commerce: that tho bodies OF these
brave sailors who sacrificed their lives In
the service Of their country be recovered
and brought home and decently buried In
the National Cemetery o., Arlington.
