1t was admitted in the debate that
offers approaching 100000 have been
received from exhibition interests, for
the rear portion of the hull, which
can be filled up with bulkhead and
towed from Havana to the United
States. This sum would more than
cover the 100000 the cost of clearing
the wreck out of Havana harbor.
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appro-
priations committee, said the govern
ment would tow the rear part of the
hull into the ocean and sink it, with
the naval honor that goes to a gallant
battleship.
