A knock announced Mrs. Bannan,

Bringing Maine Into Full View

Hayarr', June 16. --"No furthr de.
velopments of Importance in connec.
tion with the uncovering of the wreck
OF the battleship Maine are probable
within the next ten or twelve days. -
| said General w. IL. Bixley tonight
following the complete circumnayipa-
ton of the wreck in launch by the
/ board OF American officers who are
supervising the work. A minute ex-
animation was made of all portions
OF the ship now exposed to view
TINS survey convinced the Soald that
before further exploration is possible
IL VIII be necessary to remove masses
oil mud, apgregating hundreds Of
tons, on the spar deck and almost
completely filling the interior spaces
OF the Inflated vessel. The greater
portion of the mud is a tenacious
tar-like mass, extremely difficult 10
dismtegration and removal, and COM
pietcly prevents any satisfactory ex-
animation being made.
The principle result of the invcs.
tigation of the wreck today was the
discovery that the deterioration of
the steel structure is so great ms
gravely to imperil the project of
placing bulk heads in and floating ont
the rear sections of the Maine. II il
impossible, however. to determine
positively whether this can he done
until the water is further lowered
which probably will he n week hence.
In many placcs the mud is five or
six feet thick and can only he remov
ed 10y the use of streams of water
projected by the most powerful
pumps.
The water level on the Golfer dam
tonight stood at ten feet below nor
NAL, which IL somewhat higher than
this morning, owing to cessation Of
pumping and consequent slight pcrco-
lation of water. This will necessitate
the caulking of some sections of the
Golfer dam.
General Bixby says, however, that
constant observations by the most
delicate Instruments do not reveal the
least indication of liability in the
Golfer dam but that the officers are
determined not to take the least risk,
their policy being to continue work
with the utmost dcliberation, regard
less of time.
