LIFTING THE MAINE FROM IT'S
MUD BED
Work In Havana Harbor Has Reached
Interesting Stage
After Bodies are Removed Experts
viii Make Inspection to De-
termine Character of
Destructive Agency

Havana, April 9.-In the driving
of the last few interlocking steel piles
of the last of the caissons forming
the inclosed wall of the huge basin
or cofferdam surrounding the wreck
of the attleship Maine, the first
stage in the work of removing the
warship has been brought to a sue
cessful conclusion.
The second stage of the work, that
of filling the caissons as fast as COM
pieted with mud, clay and rock
dredged from the harbor bottom, has
been soing on for some time, and
now that the ring is completed, is
being pushed forward with the ut
most rapidity. The steam dredge
Norman Davis, loaned to the govern
ment by the Huston Trumbo Dredg-
ing company, and the United States
army dredge Barnard are dumping
hundreds of tons of material into the
caissons.
After April the most interesting
stage of the work, that of pumping
out the great basin and leaving ex-
posed the hull of the battleship in
precisely the condition she was on
the morning after her destruction 10
year ago, will begin.
The work itself will have to be
carefully watched as the water level
falls, there being some danger that,
as the support of the water and the
mud in which it rests is withdrawn,
the hull may careen, just as ships
have been known to do in dry docks
when insufficiently secured.

NECESSARY PUBLICATIONS
Recent Enactment Of Legislature Re
lative to Legal Publications
Idaho Register)

The recent session of the legisla-
ture enacted number Of laws relat-
i've to the legal publication of GER
tain bodies and organizations which
fact has not become generally known.
One act requires the publication in
the newspapers of digest of the
laws recently enacted, in order to
give the greatest publicity to the new
legislation. which can best be done
through the medium of the press. 1t
is not possible to expect the people
to become familiar with the laws
recently enacted, unless they are
given the opportunity to know what
legislation has heen enacted. The
only means without the publication
through the medium of the newspa-
pers void be the individual pur-
chase on the part of all of digest
of the laws in book form. which in
the cheapest binding is $500, and
which as matter OF course will
not be circulated to any great extent.
Governor Hawley vetoed that part OF
the appropriation bill which provided
for the publication of the digest of
laws, but steps have been taken to
overcome the objection on the part of
the governor.
The following laws regarding pub,
locations were made part of the stat
utes of the state.
The compulsory publication of all
city and village ordinances. The law
heretofore has made it optional.

pOSed the Work OF exploration III
search of h"man bodies will take pre-
cedence.
To Receive the Bodies
1t is practically certain when this
stage of the work is finished United
States man-of-war will be ordered to
Havana and will lie close to the
wreck to receive the bodies as fast
as they are recovered and transport
them to their final resting place.
After that will come an exhaustive
scrutiny of the shattered wreck by
experts, who in the opinion of engin-
eer officers will be able to determine
beyond all question precisely the
character of the agency whereby the
destruction of the Maine was effected.
Probably many months will elapse
before the final stage of the work,
the extrction and disposition of the
wreck. 1t is known that the for
ward part of the ship, about one
third of her length, is practically de-
tached from the rest, and Is so shat
tered that is will have to be extracted
piecemeal.
Final Work Outlined
When the after part has been strip
ped as far as possible of all heavy
weights, including the two turrets,
weighing with their pairs of 10-inch
guns about 200 tons each, it is hoped
it will be possible to build a bulk
head across the shattered remains
and float the hulk out of the basin,
to be sunk in all probability hundreds
of fathoms deep in the. straits of
Florida.
Finally will come the extraction of
the thousands of steel piles compos-
ing the 20 caissons and the dredging
of the material with which they were
filled This may not be completed
before the end of the year.
