MINE SANK MAINE.
NAVAL BOARD THAT EXAMINED
eATTLEsHIP WRECK GIVES
OUT ITS FINDINGS.
BLOWN UP FROM OUTSIDE
Exterior Blast Explodes Large Amount
OF Black Powder Contained in
Magazines. Causing Destruction Of
Vessel and Loss Of Life.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The battleship
Maine vas bloan up in Havana har-
Dor by an explosion from the outside.
This is the gist OF a short state
meut issued by the navy department.
based on findings made by the Joint
army and navy board. which spent
several months in Havana harbor in
yestisating the wreck.
Test OF Statement.
The statement was as follows:
The board finds that the injuries
to the bottom OF the Maine were
caused by the explosion OF a charge
of low form OF explosives exterior TO
the ship This resulted in igniting
and exploding the contents Of the six
inch reserve magazine. said contents
including a large quantity Of black
powder
The more or less complete ex-
plosion of the contents OF the re-
naming forward magazine followed.
The magazine explosion resulted in
the destruction OF the vessel"
Taft Has Report
This report was placed in the hands
OF President Taft and will be careful
ly reviewed by him before being
adopted In full.
The boards report settles for all
time the cause OF the explosion and
vindicates the findings OF the Samp-
son board Immediately after the de-
struction OF the vessel. IL also iusti-
fies the war with Spain. In the state
ment issued by the secretary II Is
said that while the Spanish mine did
rot in itself destroy the vessel. this
undoubtedly caused the explosion OF
the ships magazines. which resulted
in the destruction OF the Maine and
the death OF more than 200 American
officers and seamen.
