MAINE IS AGAIN FL0ATEl
Historic Battleship In Havana Harboi
Still Lists to Port, But No Big
Leaks Discovered.

Havana.-The wreck of the Maine
floated free of the mud when water
was turned into the dam surrounding
the wreck.
Water was forced into the dam
through a system Of pipes fixed at the
bottom of the ship, the power being
supplied by a pump which had been
recovered from the wreck
The ship began to rise almost I'M
mediately. The midship section.
which had been furnished with a
bulkhead, rose more rapidly on &C
count of superior buoyancy than the
heavily weighted, sharp pointed stern,
so that the Maine is somewhat down
by the stern. The hull still lists to
port, which is being corrected by the
use of ballast. No leaks of any i'm
portance have been discovered.
AS the water slowly rose until it
covered the whole floor of the Golfer
dam, nearly twenty feet Of moor1ng
lines were run out fore and aft on
both sides to hold the ship fast and
prevent the possibility OF its being
blown against the sides of the dam.
Major Ferguson, who has had
charge of the work, has received many
congratulations on his success.
