How it is possible to float out TO

Maine was By the death blow it re-

requires explanation.
All the world is familiar with the
methods by which the condition OF
the Names sunken hulk was re-
vealed-the building Of cOner dam
encircling It, and the pumping out
Of the water, and the clearing away
OF the mud in which it had settled.

headed BY Rear-Admiral Nreeland,
which was recently sent to Havana

wreck, found that the destruction
was far more extensive than had
been supposed The bow Sixty feet

There was in all about one hun

the after half of the ship was rela-

boilers were intact and undisturbed.
Widely scattered through the yes
sci, especially amidships, we're more
or less damaged projectiles Of vaTi-
GUS sizes; likewise powder tanks
which had been torn asunder or
crushed.
The conclusion Of the naval board
was that some sort of iron tank
filed with ordinary gunpowder was
exploded beneath the bottom of the
Maine, about one-third Of the way
from the bow, on the port side.
She was as will be remembered,
swinging at a buoy at the time in
the harbor Of Havana. It was on the
fateful night Of February Is, 1898.
But what really did most of the
damage was the consequent ignition
of the reserve magazine Of ammuni-
ton for the 6-inch guns, which held
a large quantity Of black powder.
The wreck thereupon was made
complete by the ex- losion of the re-
naming forward magazines. The
forward tuTret was blown overheard

up over the bow. Broken in two at
the point OF attack, the keel bent

The question OIL whether the judiciary

Mr. mcfarland added that II an ap-
peal had been pending In the United
