REMAINS OF NAMES CREW
MAY NEVER BE RECOVERED.
Berth Deck Was Completely Derol-
ished by Explosion.

Havana, July 18.-The process of re-
moving the water surrounding the
wreck of the Maine was practically
completed this evening when the water
level in the cofferdam had been lower
ed IS feet leaving the wreck sur :
rounded by islets of mud, small pools
and sink holes of green Shiny water,
in which scuttled myriadS of crabs,
marine WORMS and other small crea-
lures. The soundings tonight showed
nowhere a depth in excess of four
feet.
The dregs of water remaining in the
cofferdam can be removed in a few
hours, but it is now apparent that the
engineers are confronted with an in
finitely more serious problem. the re-
mova1 of the mud in which the remains
of the battleship are embedded, from
minimum of 81 feet to a depth that
can only be conjectured.
Although the water is now only two
feet lower than in previous pumping
operations, the revelations with regard
TO the shattered condition of the hulk
have been vastly enlarged, owing to
the lateral outspreading of the distort-
ed frames and plating, especially in
the forward section, where the princl-
pal force of the explosion was expend-
ed The structure of the bow as far
aft as the framework is now exposed,
permitting an analysis of the plates,
beams, ribs. etc, and it has been
shown conclusively that they originally
belonged to the structure of the double
bottom. which is now elevated to
height of about 40 feet above the nor
NAL position, apparently giving con-
firmed evidence of a tremendous ex-
terror explosion.
To this view, however. the engi-
neers in charge decline to commit
themselves, merely admitting the iden-
tification of parts of the bottom of the
ship.
In the confused mass of wreckage of
thu bow is to be seen a curved piece
of steel This is believed to be what
Ensign -rowelson identified before the
Sampson court of inquiry as part of
the fiat keel of the Maine. Naval Con-
structor Ferguson, in charge of tho
examination of the wreck, declines 10
say whether he can fully confirm Pow
elson's Identification, but says that
adjacent plates and beams are un
auestionably from the vicinity Of the
keel.
The wardroom officers quarters on
the starboard side are exposed, but
owing to a considerable list the mud Is
level with the ceiling, precluding ex-
ploration.
Among the developments as result
of the pumping today was the expo
sure of a section of the armor belt
abreast the amidship superstructure
This is about level with the surface of
the water, in normal position. but sep
arated from the forward portion of the
belt. which doubtless was blown out.
Exploration of the galley today re-
suited in the discovery of two pots half
full of beans and other articles for
kitchen use. some of which at first
was believed to be human bones. The
hope of the discovery of the remains of
many of the crew is diminishing on
account of the unexpectedly complete
demolition of the berth deck.
