Washington. July GA board Of naval
officers, experts in explosives, is being
selected by the Navy Department to
study the hull Of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor as the water Is
pumped from the cofferdam now sur
rounding the wreck.
Because of the necesss rily slow prog
ress Of the work, weeks probably will
elapse before the experts will be aole
10 inspect the keel Of the former war
ship. but the board will proceed 70 Ha-
vana as soon as its personnel is made
known and will remain with the work
until II is finished.
The Navy Department officers are con
vinced that the examination will prove
the correctness of the findings Of the
Sampson board, which decided that the
explosion which sunk the Maine was
caused by torpedo or mine. and that
the explosion Of the ships magazines
followed
In view Of the renewed interest at
taching 10 the actual cause Of the de
struction Of the Maine. resulting from
the uncovering of the wreck by the
army engineers, General W II Bixby,
chief of engineers, who has lust returned
from Havana, to-day issued the follow
ing signed statement
The work OF unwatering the Maine so
far proves nothing as 10 the origin Of the
explosion Of the magazines, but already

ward part Of the boat that II is quite proba
blbe that fuller unwaterins will fail 10 give
any proofs. either way, as TO the origin Of
such explosions. ! have so far made no re
ports or statements as 70 the origin OF the
explosion.
General Bixby is quoted as saying that
his soundings showed that az least two
thirds of the bow were utterly wrecked.
The sides had been practically blown
away and were buried in the mud
Philadelphia. July 6.-Rear Admiral
George w. Melville GetiredD, u. S. n,
said to-day that It is his belief that the
battleship Maine was blown up by one
Of her own magazines.
Il have always maintained that the
Maine was destroyed from within and
not from without" declared Admiral
Melville. IT have said that the examina-
ton of the ship in Havana Ldrbor would
prove that the explosion occurred with
in her. One Of her powder magazines
was situated between two coal bunker
heads, and one of the shell rooms also
WIS near by The coal, taking fire, prob
ably heated the shells in the shell room
and caused the explosion of one of the
magazines.
Naval and engineering experts in this
country and Europe have been inclined
to believe that the Maine was not de-
stroyed by external means. In letter
which I wrote on January ~, l9o%' TO
Thomas b. Reed, the Speaker OF the
