FOR THEIR DELAY IN
RAISING THE MAINE

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. July rs
Another delay In undertaking the
work of raising the Maine was en-
countered to-day by the army engi-
neers because OF the looseness with
which Congress phrased the bill APP
proprfattns the money for the work.
One mistake In dates was discover
ed recently and the engineers now
find that Congress did not specify
whether the $300, 200 should be used
merely for the work Of investigation
or whether the engineers should go
on with the work. or whether they
should go on with the raising.
Gen. Bixley. Of the engineers
corps, will investigate the condition
OF the wreck, the area 1t covers ana
the nature OF the bottom on whics>
1t rests. Behring'S Will be made to as
certain at what depth a foundation
may be established and the wreck
will be thoroughly examined to dis
cover what parts were blown loose.
II IL probable that the army en-
gineers themselves will do the work,
as the law does not prescribe that
1t shall be done by contract or In any
other way.
