NOW PLANNED TO CUT SHIP INTO

Hulk.

Havana, Cuba. The work of re,
moving the water from the cofferdam
enclosing the wreck of the battleshir
Maine has been carried to a point low
enough to reveal portions of the wrecb
submerged for thirteen years, includ.
Ing part of the midship section i'm.
mediately affected by the explosion,
the whole quarter deck and a portion
of the berth deck, in which it is be-
lieved lies most of the bodies.
The water is at the ten foot level
which will permit the partial explora.
ton of the upper part of the after
section from the stern to Immediately
forward of the engine room space,
where the explosion severed the for.
ward section including the ten inch
turret on the starboard side.
To Test cofserdam.
All this latter portion of the vesse.
Is submerged many feet in excess of
the after part and probably will not
be revealed until the dam is complete
ly emptied and a great quantity of
mud excavated. The present intention
of the board is to permit the water
to remain at the ten foot level possibly
for several days, to make observations
and tests of the cofferdam to deter.
mine beyond question it's ability to re-
sist the tremendous inward pressure
when completely emptied. Nothing up
to the present has been observed that
suggests any possibility of insufficient
resistance of the structure.
Col. Patrick said the board be.
lieved it quite feasible to separate the
after two-thirds of the ship from
the forward third, severing the parts
shattered by the explosion by the
use of an acetelene blast.
On the completion of the separation
it is intended to dissect the forward
section by acetelene blasts into port.
able fragments, which will be taken
out piecemeal
After that in default of further or.
ders from congress, it is the intention
to build bulkhead across the rear
section, float it out from the dam,
bring it alongside wharf in the har.
Dor, make complete examination and
finally tow it to sea and sink it. 1t is
believed that within a week or ten
days sufficient progress will have been
made to permit the recovery of all the
bodies.
