MAY RAISE THE MAINE

priation of $780, 900

The wreck Of the Inflated battleship
Maine will be raised from the ooze Of
Havana harbor inside of three months II
an appropriation of $35O,OOO to continue
work on the wreck, which is contained in
the sundry civic bill reported to the House
today, goes through. a great deal OF work
must be done and money spent after the
vessel is raised If it is intended to bring
her to this country.
But the Maine may never see American
waters again. according to the testimony
of Maj. ]. B. Cavanaugh of the Corps
Of Engineers, L. S. A, in charge OF the
work of raising the vessel, before the
committee. Maj. Cavan-
augh declared that instead Of floating the
wrecked battleship, thereby expanding a
huge sum, it might be more advisable
to dynamite the wreck. The committee
seemed inclined to favor that proposition.
Maj Cavanangh declared that under the
peculiar weather conditions which sur
round the work in Havana harbor 1t is
practically impossible to estimate the
amount of money or time that 1t will take
to raise the Maine. He asked 100000
for this years appropriation and declared
that the shortest possible time that it
could take to get the vessel to the sur
face would be more than three months

pupils giving an hour to the execution
Of a program prepared by the Bill Nye
memorial committee. while the memory
of the father Of his country played
second fiddle to that of the lamented
humorist.
Every pupil was requested to bring
penny for the memorial fund, and several
thousand dollars was collected which
will be applied to the erection of the
Bill Nye Memorial building at the Stone
wall Jackson Training School, a move
ment undertaken by the North Carolina
Press Association.
1t is the first time in the history OF
this or probably any other state wherein

of a private citizen. The day set was
four days removed from the anniversary
of Bill Nye's death at Craig-y-NoS, his
North Carolina mountain home, in 1896.
