Intense interest has been aroused in
Havana through the realization that
the wreck of the battleship is actually
coming into view after thirteen years
burial, and that the mystery regarding
the character of the explosion is soon
to be solved. Many people, Cubans,
Americans and Spaniards, visited the
wreck today.

WRECKAGE OF MAINE
GRADUALLY APPEARS
WATER AND MUD BEING PUMPED
AWAY FROM OLD BATTLESHIP
IN HAVANA HARBOR.

Havana, June The first STAGE of
the actual work of uncovering the
wreck of the battleship Maine was
completed at ) o'clock this afternoon,
when pumping operations ceased after
the water level within the great cof-
ferdam built around the wreck had
been lowered precisely five feet.
This leaves the portion of the wreck
visible above the water practically the
same as on the night of the disaster
before the hull had time to become i'm
bedded in the mud. There is now visi-
BILE long stretch of the starboard side
OF the quarter deck, which is slightly
raised owing to list of the after-two-
thirds of the ship.
When the pumping ceased today the
cofferdam nowhere showed the least
sign of seepage or leakage, apparently
being absolutely waterproof and of the
most ample stability. This is all the
more obvious because one caisson
which collapsed three weeks ago was
only repaired yesterday and is partial
ly filed with clay and mud.
The pumping is to be suspended un-
I'll June l.. when the water level will
be reduced another five feet. The
work will then be suspended again so
that a minute examination may be

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings. SO essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Outicura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,

SO little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap

A LUTHERAN PIONEER.
Centenary of Rev. Walther's
Birth Is Observed.
Conspicuous Figure in the church's
History Who Came to America to
Enjoy Full Liberty of Con-
science.

= st. Louis, Mo.-There is large
church body known as The Lutheran
Synod of Missouri, Ohio and other
states, the main founder, leader and
advocate of which was Carl Ferdinand
Wilhelm Walther. d. D., whose Tooth
birthday has recently observed for
days by special services in thousands
of churches of the Lutheran faith in
the United States and Canada and all
parts of the world.
Prof Walther, the most conspicu-
Gus figure in the history of American
Lutheranism, was born October 25.
1911, in Saxony, Germany. In the
gymnasium of Schneeberg he received
a thorough classical education and
then pursued the studies of theology
of Leipzig. After graduating from
that institution with high honors he
ministered for brief period to a state
church in his native land. However,
his strict adherence to Gods word
and Luther's doctrine pure" and his
outspoken frankness soon brought him
in conflict with the powers that were
and he resolved to seek in free Amer
lea that full liberty of conscience
which was denied him in the land OF
his birth. He landed on our shores
in the year 1888, in company with
several brother ministers and a small
band of emigrants who, like the Pill.
grim Fathers, sought haven of ref
uge and liberty on Americas free
soil.
After short stay in Perry county,
NO., where the first college, a small
log cabin, was erected, he removed to
St Louis, where he passed his long
and useful life. AS first pastor of
four large and influential congrega
lions in st. Louis, as president and

ident of the Lutheran Missouri Synod,
he labored Increasingly and his name
and fame became world wide.
And he lived to see in part the
fruits of his labors. In place OF the
first little college in Perry county
there was erected and dedicated A
years later in ST. Louis the handsome
seminary in which today over 300
Young men are being prepared for the

And her missionaries are sent out iI;-
to all parts of the world to preach
