They said that such another

On plants and trees, and poison

Cofferdam About War Ship.

Havana, Cuba, June 16.-The full
board of army engineers, consisting
of Brigadier General William H.
Bixby, Colonel William M. Black and
Lieutenant Colonel Macon M. Pat
rick, has arrived and made careful
inspection of the cofferdam surround
ing the wreck of the battleship
Maine, tested the cylinders and found
everything satisfactory. Water had
been allowed to seep in, so the level
was only four feet down. =
The pumping resumed yesterday
morning and it is expected that
five feet of water will be pumped
away, which should reveal the after
.turret, the spar deck and possibly
the true condition Of the wreckage
at the bottom.
eve are now convinced we can
float two-thirds of the hull" said
Lieutenant Colonel Patrick. eff so,
the forward part will be burned of
with an acetylene fame, and the
after part will be foated out without
an examination Of the interior. We
will try to float it over to the Casa
Blanca short, not attempting to re-
move the furnishings until it is free
of the cofferdam. Then it will be
stripped and buried at sea-
