Havana, June IA greatly increas-

Maine was exposed to view when the
water level within the colerGam had
been lowered to total of ten and
half feet below normal.
The portions of the Inflated war
ship now above the water include the
whole of the after superstructure and
most of the spar deck aft the port
turret.
Thus are revealed the ten-inch guns
pointed aft, with the tampions still in
their muzzles; all of the engine room
and superstructures, and confused
masses of iron forward and apparently
what formed the upper part OF the bow
section.
Everywhere the iron work exposed
if not shattered by the explosion has
been SO corroded as to be reduced to
mere shells, making it highly prob
able that the plan to repair and float
any part of the ship must be abandon
ed because of complete structural de-
