REPORT DEEPENS
MAINE MYSTERY

WASHINGTON, December S.-The
United States battleship Maine, sunk
in Havana harbor in February, 1898,
as result of an explosion, was blown
up from the outside. This was an
nounced today by the naval board that
has been examining the wreck. The
finding confirms the report of the orig
inal Investigators, who made super
fic1al examination of the wreck soon
after the disaster.
The statement was given out by the
Navy Department in brief. Secretary
Meyer does not believe 1t necessary to
issue any ext nded explanation of the
boards conclusions beyond the fiat
statement that an exterior explosion
was responsible for the loss of the war
ship and the lives of many men. The
statement follows:
THE board found that the injuries
to the bottom of the Maine were
caused by the explosion Of a charge

igniting and exploding the contents OF

said contents including a large GUAM
tity of black powder The more or
less complete explosion of the con

ion resulted in the destruction Of the

Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be further statement on
the report of the board after it had
been considered by the President. One
member of the board was of the opin-
ion that the report never would be
published in full. The declaration that
"a low form of explosive" was used IN
the outside explosion indicates the be-
lief that a mine, not a dirigible tor
pedo, was the instrument of destruc-
ton.
This only deepens the mystery OF
the destruction of the Maine A mine,
charged with sufficient gunpowder to
blow in the bottom of a ship, must
have weighed several hundred pounds.
To plant such a mine AID lay the cleo
trio connections necessary for its dis
charge would have required the ser
vices of a number of men.

posed the membership, she has lived
to enjoy the fruition of her labors.
Whenever one speaks of J. G. Napier
as a successful business man, there is
always before the mind the picture OF
smiling woman at his side. Who
does not remember with pleasure the
sight of our friend sitting at the close
of banking hours in the Penny Savings
Bank, assisting in any possible way to
successfully close the business of the
day?
Although Mrs. Napier has not
joined the ranks of the suffragettes,
she has efficiently nodded political
sentiment through her husband. To
many of us, this is the truly womanly
way. Right royalty has she walked
therein. So, tonight, 1 propose a
toast to this woman, a toast couched
in the words of another:
propose this toast "in the life CIV
ing water-pure as her chastity, clear
as her institutions, bright as her
smiles, sparkling as the laughter OIL
her eyes, cheering as her consolation,
strong and sustaining as her love-in
the crystal water would drink to her
THAT she would remain queen regent
to the empire she has already won,
grounded deep as the universe in love;
built upon and exercised in the home
and hearts Of the world; would drink
to her, the full blown flower of crea-
tons morning Of which man was but
the bud and blossom; to her who in
childhood clasps our hands, and
teaches us to lisp the first sweet
prayer to the. Great-All-Father; who
comes to us in youth with good coun-
sci and advice, who in manhood meets
heart yearnings with the faithfuhless
of conjugal love, and whose hand,
when our feet go down in the shadow,
will gently smooth the rough pillow
of death as only she can; to her who
is the flower Of flowers, the pearl OF
pearls; Gods latest, best and brightest
gift to mantle Model Woman, Mrs.

when your useful days are ended, may
the blessings of st. Matthew, who
toiled in the vineyard to serve his
people, rest upon you. My time is
too limited to attend your function on
the 10th. My wife joins me in best
wishes.
