WRECK Is PROOF
OF OUTSIDE MINE
Appearance Of the Old Battleship
Maine Backs up Opinion
Of Sigsbee
DOUBLE BOTTOM TORN APART
such Havoc Below Could Not Have
Been Worked by an Interior
Explosion, It's Said.

! Havana, Sept. 26.-The eofferdam
about the wreck of the United States
battleship Maine, sunk i'm this harbor
on the night Of February Is, 1898. has
lbeen pumped out more than ever be-
fore and the cutting away Of the
wreckage reveals the double bottom of
the ship with part of the keel stand :
ing in perpendicular position some
2S feet higher than the natural posi-
tion. This perfectly confirms the re-
port and testimony which Commander
Powelson gave before the investigating
board. The report made by Powelson
was based upon the reports made to
him by divers just after the'explosion
The bottom of the vessel stands sup
ported In perpendicular position by
stanchions. The lowest or platform
deck is in the position described, in an
upheaved mass above the submerged
bow. The position of this part of the
bottom Indicates that what is now the
highest point naturally occupied. a po-
sition at frame IS, suggesting that
there was an explosion of mine un-
der that part OF the snip. say about
midway between the stern and the
midship section
The explosion there broke the ship
into two parts, throwing part of the
ship, including the coming tower. to-
ward the stern, the coming tower fall
ing on the superstructure on the star
board side, whence In cutting away the
wreckage Ii has been allowed to settle
to the main deck slightly forward of
the after turret, which is on the port
side, or opposite to the side on which
the explosion occurred Other portions
of the superstructure were thrown
forward, falling upon the forward
deck
The double bottom is standing In
a perpendicular position above frame
10. IL is a confirmed belief that such
a tearing of a ships bottom could not
have been produced by an interior ex-
plosion. II is further said that no reg
ulation military mine could have
wrought such terrific havoc. II must
have been a huge mine. as Captain
Sigsbee and others suggested at the
time.
