WRECK OF MAINE
EMBEDDED IN MUD
All Water in Cofferdam Sur

ALL PARTS PHOTOGRAPHED

Havana. July 20.-All the water in
the cofferdam surrounding the Maine
has been removed, showing the wreck
embedded in the mud from an esti-
mated depth of thirty feet
around the afterpart OF the vessel
to an Understandable depth. That por-
ton of the ship imm ediately forward
of the central superstructure. which
was demolished. has completely dis
appeared. except for some Jagged
pieces of crusted Steel, protruding
above the slime.
The engineers intend to begin to-
morrow the work OF drawing out the
soft mud BY suction. simultaneously
they VIII begin the work of dlssecting
the great confused masses of metal.
The bow section. represented by the
plates and beams of the bottom of the
ship. now stands upwards of twenty
feet high. All portions OF this section
have been fully identified, including
the remains of water tanks originally
located on the lowest deck, and ap.
parently not affected by the explosion
All these parts have been photo
graphed for future examination and
TO confirm the identification. prior to
the dissection of the wreckage which
VIII be accomplished by hydro
acetyline blast as soon as the ep-
paratus is installed and derricks for
the removal of the dismembered parts
are erected.
Curious Feature.
curious feature resulting from
the total removal of the water is that
the midship main deck and central
superstructure. remaining practically
level, constitute in effect a great can
tilever. sustaining their own weight
without any direct under support. All
the structural members of the ship be-
meath this section have been destroyed,
and the cavity has been half hlled with
mud. The AFT midship section of the
berth deck, on which were the ward
room and the officers staterooms. is
fully exposed. but is almost entirely
filled with mud. especially on the port
side, the removal of which will be
slow and difficult.
Hopes are entertained that in this
section may be found the body of AS
sistant Engineer Merritt. who is be-
lieved to have been in his stateroom
at the time OF the disaster. Some fire.
scorched bones were discovered this
afternoon in the vicinity of the over
mains of probably four bodies were
previously found.
All OF the men are believed to have
persisted instantly.
From present indications three or
four months will elapse before the
mud surrounding the wreck is removed
and all portions OF the ship made
visible.

John w. Garrett Cited Charleston Ex. ample As Instance of the South's Former Haphazard Manner of
 Developing Railways.

In the latter part of March of the year 1883 I spent a week or ten days in Charleston, South Carolina. On the second day after my arrival there was seated at my hotel dining room table a stranger, a new arrival, of about mid dle heigbt and of powerful build, with an unusual depth of chest The per- feet balance and poise of his massive head upon his shoulders was especial ly noticeable. The outline of the head was round, rather than long. His face was broad; his mouth revealed great frmness, although there was in his smile a suggestion of gentleness and hndliness. His eyes, which were dark blue, were set far apart. and the breadth of his forehead indicated great intellectual power. His hair was not plentiful, although he was not bald, and in his early manhood he must have been of sandy complexion.
 Have you come from the north?" he asked and when I replied that had. he asked ne if 1 came by the coast line.
 l saw that he was familiar with railroad matters, and disposed to talk of them, so I ventured to ask him how 1t happened that a city the size of Charleston, and seaport at that, had Ro central railway station. The main station was then some two miles out side the city. and passengers were conveyed back and forth by means of shuttle train
 Well. that shuttle train furnishes one explanation of why the Confed- eracy did not succeed" was the re- ply. Then. noting, apparently that was wondering how a shuttle railroad two miles long could have had any thing to do with the failure of the Confederacy, he continued, and his manner was that of a modest, kindly gentleman:
 Do you know of any important city of the north, especially any seaport, that would have been content even in early railroad days with railroad com- munication that required the use of shuttle train? This little shuttle line personifies the haphazard manner in which industry and railway develop ment in the south in the days before the war were universally carried on, a circumstance that Is easily explained by the fact that the south was then almost exclusively an agricultural region. So it came about, when the

 As an amusing instance of the way In which lost treasure can grow by rumor, Captain Kidd's hoard is in. structive. When Kidd was hanged in London in May, 17O1, shipmate of kidd's said that the captain had hid den about Sl,5OO worth of plate and coin, which he had not been able to recover. From this small beginning sprang the innumerable stories of Captain Kidds hoards, the last of which placed the amount at $5 ,00O ,00O.

The late Henry c.

 "I am sure that at no other time during that visit did Dickens speak to any American boy as he spoke to me- MT. Robinson told me. What he said was not much, but it was Charles Dick ems who said 1t, and he said 1t to me. and that was enough.
