Whether It Was Caused From Tor

Now to Learn.

Tampa, Fla, June 27.-"The sec

raising the Maine, upon his arrival

THE destruction to the vessel was
SUCH" said General Bixby, and the
deterioration has been so great that
it will be impossible to tell whether
the ship was blown up from a force
within or without.
CAUSE NOT KNOWN.
"The greatest force, however, was
from the inside, indicating that the
forward magazine had exploded.
Whether this was from a sympathetic
explosion caused by a torpedo from
the outside may forever remain a
mystery"
General Bixby says that unless the
fragment of a torpedo is found there
is no way of connecting some outside
agency with the blowing up of the
vessel.

 An officer OH the bridge of Lord Nelsons flagship, Victory, had been watching for this signal. Scarcely had the standard been caught by the breeze than there came across the water the sight of flash of fire from an open port of the old flagship.
