MAINE WRECKED BY
OUTSIDE EXPLOSION
Report of Investigators Is Made
Public BY the Navy De-
partment.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE United
States battleship Maine, which sank
beneath the waters of Havana harbor
In February, 1898, as the result of an
explosion, was blown UP from the out-
side. This was announced yesterday
by the naval board which has been
examining the wreck. The finding con-
firms the report OF the original investi-
gators, who made a superficial exami-
nation of the wreck shortly after the
disaster.
The statement given out by the navy
department Is brief. Secretary Meyer
does not believe it necessary to issue
any extended explanation OF the
boards conclusions beyond the fiat
statement that an exterior explosion
was responsible for the loss of the
warship and the lives of many men.
The statement follows:
THE injuries to the bottom of the
Maine were caused by the explosion OF
a charge of low form of explosive ex-
terror to the ship between frames 2S
and 81, strake B., port side. This re-
suited in igniting and exploding the
contents of the six-inch reserve maya
| zine, A-14-M, said contents including
q large quantity of black powder. The
more or less complete explosion of the

magazine followed. The magazines

POSTAL DEFICIT IS
NO LONGER REALITY
Statement of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock Shows De-
partment Out of Hole.

Washington. Dec. 12.-For the first
time since 1883, the annual financial
statement of the postoffice department
submitted by Postmaster General
Hitchcock shows a surplus instead Of a
deficit. The revenues for the fiscal
1921, S79, 1880. and the expenditures to
s237,660, 705.48 leaving a surplus Of
s219.11S.12. At the beginning Of the
present administration in 1909. the
postal service was in arrears to the
extent of s17,479, 770.47. which was de-
cidedly the largest deficit on record. In
the brief space of two years this de-
felt has been changed into a substan-
ttal surplus.
No Sacrifice Made.
The wiping out of the deficit a been
accomplished without curtailment of
postal facilities. On the contrary, i'm
portant extensions have been made in
every branch Of the service. Since the
opening of the present administration
there have been established 3,744 new
postoffices, delivery by carrier has been
provided in 1856 additional cities. and
2,516 new rural routes, aggregatlng CO.
679 miles, have been authorized. Mean
while the force OF postal employees mas
been increased by more than 5000. In
compromising such employees the de-
partment follows a liberal policy. Last
year the total amount expended for
salaries was approximately S14, 000, 00C
greater than two years ago. The ay-
erage annual salary has been increased
from 1863 to 1867 for rural carriers, from
1919 to s1,0S2 for postoffice clerks, from
S1,021 to S1.0S4 for city letter carriers
and from $1,16S to s1,1S3 for railway
mail clerks. Thus a marked extension
of the postal service and higher com
p~ensation for its employees have gone
hand in hand with a vanishing deficit.
An important event of the year was
the successful organization of the posta
savings system. On January 3, 1911

at a single postoffice in each one of tht
