MAINE WAS SUNK BY MIGHTY EXPLOSION Each Inch the Water Lowers Shows the Terrible
 Effects

Havana, June 20.-The skeleton of ths Maine, coral encountered, and swarmine with grimy workmen, engaged in clean ing the upper works and exploring a' far as possible the exposed interior spaces, stood spectre-like this morning above the pool within the cofferdam when the water level was reduced to 10 feet One additional foot had been pumped out during the night. The reduction served to reveal a large area hitherto sub merged; every additional inch discloses more terrible evidence of the appalling character of the explosion.
 The lowering of the water below the level of the spar deck amidships shows the deck abreast the engine room on the port side greatly bulged up under which the whole side of the ship appears to have been blown up.
 Protruding from this aperture are twist ed masses of steel, apparently steam pipes, and other appurtenances of the main engines, but all so corroded and distorted as to defy identification.
 Along the water on the starboard side Is visible the long row of headlights of the berth deck adjacent to the ward room and some of the officers quarters An examination of these will be impossible until the water level has been further reduced
 During the exploration of. the. stern su- perstructure today the searehers found an ivory hilted sabre in a fair state of preservation. It doubtless belonged to Lieutenant, now Maj. Albertus w. Cat lin, the officer in command of the ship s marine guard. and recently commanding the expeditionary guard of marines al Guantanamo They also found in the cap tain's cabin small compass. much cor roded, bottle of bay rum, perfectly pre- served. small toilet articles and a quan- tity of chinaware belonging to the ward room and officers staterooms.
 The leak which developed in the coffer- dam yesterday was located and stopped up this morning.

GEN. D|AZ SENDS A MESSAGE ID MEXICO W Desire Revolution to Be
 Great Success" FRIENDLYTOWARD US. Exiled Mexican Statesman Is Off, ficially Welcomed by French
 Nation-Is Still III From
 Bad Tooth
FRIENDLYTOWARD US.

Havre, June 20-Gen. Porfirio Diaz, for mer president of Mexico, arrived here to- day on the steamer Ypiranga.
 As in Spain and England, General Diaz was officially welcomed on arriving in France. Representatives of the prefec- ture came here to welcome him in the name of the French nation. As the steamer drew near to the shores of France General Diaz received a rep resentative of the Associated Press. After expressing his appreciation of the trib- utes paid to him by European countries the ex-president enthusiastically ex- claimed
 'I cannot predict the result of the Mex ican revolution. No man can read the future but I wish you would send this message to the people of Mexico.' The message reads as follows:
 "I desire with all my heart that the revolution may succeed so that the peo- pie of Mexico will suffer the least pos sible That is my feeling of peace at this moment. I leave this Mexico. which I have built up by years of faithful toll, and l wish it to endure in peace"
 To the direct question as to whether he intended to return to Mexico, General Diaz replied frankly:
 q cannot say" Continuing, the ex- president said he wished all the United States to understand that he had not the slightest feeling against America, whose attitude he believed had been dig nifed, unseffish and generous through out.
 America" the general said, did her best to prevent complications and to seek the highest good for all. I did my best for Mexico, and as I chamber on the shores of the old world, I reterate my message of good will and peace"
 The Mexican statesman has made no plans for the summer. He probably will go to Switzerland by way of Paris.
 General Daz said he wished to deny that he made the statement while at Vigo attributed to him by the Paris Temps, that. the Mexican revolutionists had all ready squandered $31, 100000 of the treas ury reserve fund.
 The former presidents condition was greatly improved today. His teeth, which have caused him considerable suffering, are better, but the aged general still has some difficulty in talking.
 General Diaz was a great favorite among the passengers of the Ypiranga. with whom he mingled constantly dur ing the voyage. The ships German of- ficers and crew styled him "the modern Bismarck, on account of his striking resemblance to the iron chancellor.
 England's greeting to the Mexican for mer president took place at o'clock this morning in Plymouth harbor. The general had turned in for the night, but arose and received a British flag officer who brought messages of welcome from the admiral of the port and the British nation.

NEW YORK SEAMEN'S STRIKES SETTLED Concessions on Both Sides But Demands of Men
 Were Allowed

New York, June 20-The differences be- tween the coastwse@shfp companies and their seamen were adjusted tonight, bringing to an end the strike against the Morgan line and averting a threatened general strike of the coastwise seamen. The agreement was reached at a confer ence of company officials and representa- lives of the union tonight.
 H. H. Griffen, vice president of the International Seamens union issued a statement saying there had been con sessions on both sides but that the va rious steamship companies had, in the main met the demands of the men and only minor details remain to be adjusted. Up to, midnight no statement on the re- suit of the conference had been made on behalf of the companies. Following a day of disorders along the water from where several parties of strike breakers were attacked by mobs it had been an- nounced by the union officials that general Strike would be called tomorrow unless an agreement with the companies was reached before midnight tonight
 
 strike movement and the disposition of the crowds along the water front was becoming uglier as the strike progressed.
 The strike against the Morgan line was declared last Friday night. Several hun dred men walked out the following day and the company has had considerable difficulty since manning it's passenger lines and -freighters.
 London, June 20-There Is little change in the situation in connection with the International Seamen's strike. It is stat ed in dispatches from Liverpool that the American and Dominion lines have grant ed the same concessions as the Cunard, but as the conceding lines are outside the shipping federation, which thus far refuses to compromise, there is no pres ent prospect of the strike ending. At Southampton the situation is worse. The White Star and American line rep resentatives have wired their agents else

OUR GIRLS START FOR HOME.

After two months absence from
home, Miss Pauline Townsend, of
Milford, and Miss Ethel Reese, of
Harrington, have made tour which
includes Chicago and the Middle
West, Kansas City, and several
states of the Southwest, ending with
Texas, Letters from them have
been printed in the Chronicle from
time to time, which have shown how
the country, its methods, its busi-
ness and its people have impressed
them, as young women. They are
now enroute for their respective
homes, and should reach Delaware
this coming week; unless they should
take the fancy to stop off somewhere
along the route home. They will
have travelled about 1000 miles, look
ing after their baggage and their
own comfort the entire distance, and
so far without an incident to mar
their pleasure. This illustrates the
beauty of these great United States
of America, where the old, the un-
protected women, and even children,
can travel without escort and in per
feet safety. Ed.
