Corn is the main grain dependence

raised in most portions of the south
Any considerable increase in its an
nual production would have a marked
effect upon the value of the unused
lands for grazing purposes and would
perceptibly increase the income of the

WRECKERS FIND BATTLESHP
MAINE BADLY SHATTERED
Superficial Observation Reveals That
Hull is Torn Much More
Than Supposed.

HAVANA, June 16.--That the shat
Maine, expressed by the mute testi-
mony OF steel ribs bent apart, decks
upheaved and hurled far from their
original position, bulkheads crum-
pied like sheets OF paper and appar-
emily inextricabie and hardly identif-
able masses OF construction material,
Is evidently far greater than supposed,
was revealed yesterday afternoon as
result of a superficial observation
made possible by the lowering OF the
water level In the cofferdam q total
depth Of seven feet.
On account OF this unforeseen reve-
lation Of the terrific character Of the
explosion which sent the battleship
to the bottom OF the harbor, all plans
therefore proposed for dealing with
the ultimate removal OF the hull have
become merely conjectural until a
considerably greater amount OF water
has been pumped out. AS the water
receded yesterday every successive
foot revealed worse and worse condi-
tons in that portion Of the hull for
ward OF amidships which was sub
jected to the main force OF the explo-
sion.
The bow section Is still nearly 20
feet below the surface and here II Is
believed the destruction will be found
to have been even more complete.
The work of pumping was somewhat
delayed today because Of the heavy
rains and a slight interruption Of the
electric current. II Is the intention
today to put into service the most
powerful pumps and lower the water
more rapidiyrbut still use the utmost
caution, observing the effects of the
increased pressure on the coferdam,
which up to the present has shown no
indication OF weakness.
Col. Black, OF the engineer corps,
said that he had reasonable expecta-
ton OF lowering the water total
depth OF Is or 20 feet within three or
four days, which would render posi-
BILE a fairly complete exploration OF
all portions of the ship where men
were likely to have been on the night
of the disaster, except the bow.
II is probable that the searchers
may be able to enter the officers quar-
tiers In the after structure tomorrow
where they may find the body OF En-
sign Merritt, the only officer missing.
the body Of Lieut.. Jenkins, the only
other officer killed, having been re-
covered from the torpedo chamber
