IlflED. The President WIU Advise Congress of Her Keply,' and Advise Dellber ate Consideration In the Meantime. The Sending of the 31alne to Ha vana an Act Restoring" Friendly Relations and Was So Regarded by the Spanish .Government -"The Message to Congress. The President, on the 28th, accord ing to Dromise, sent the following message to Congress: To (he Congress of the United States: For some time prior to the visit o the Maino to Havana harbor our con sular reports pointed out the advan tages to How from the visit of national ships to the Cuban waters, in accus toming the people to the presence of our Hag as the symbol of good -wall land four ships in the fulfillment of ; the mission of protection to American in terests if ever the need therefor might exist. Accordingly, on the 24th of January last, after conference with the Spanish minister, in which renewals of visits of our warships to Spanish waters was discussed and accepted, the penin sular authorities' at Madrid and Ha 'vanna were advised of the purpose of this government to resume friendly uaval visits at Cuban ports, and that in tnat view the Maine would forthwith call at the port of Havana. ' ! The Friendly Call. I his announcfcTnent was received by the panuh government with appre ciation of the friendly character of jthe vifeit of the Maine and with notification of an intention to return the courtesy by sending Spanish ships to the prin cipal ports of the United States. Mean time the Maii.e entered the port of Ha- i vana on the 25th of January, her, ar j rival being marked with no special! in cident besides the exchange of cus tomary salutes and ceremonial visits. The Maine continued in the harbor of Havana during the three weeks fol lowing her arrival. No appreciable ex citement' j attended her stay; on the contrary, r. feeling of relief and confi dence f ollowed the resumption of the loiif; iaterrupted friendly intercourse. t:o noticeable was this immediate effect of her visit that the 'consul-general strongly urged that the presence of bur ships in Cuban waters should be kept up by retaining the Maine I at Havana, or, in the event of her recall, by sending another vessel there to take uer place. Destruction of the Ship. At forty minutes past 9, in the even ing of the 13th of February, the Maine was destroj-ed by an explosion by wmeh the entiro forward part of the ship was utterly wrecked. In this catastrophe two officers and 2G4 of her crew per ished, those who were not killed out right by her explosion bein penned be tween decks by the tangle of wreckage and drowned by the immediate einking of the hull. Prompt assistance was reDdAi-e'l by the neighboring vessels an chored in the harbor, and being espe cially given by the boats of the Spanish y.-aieer Alphonso XIII, and the Ward Linii steamer City of Washington, which lay near by. The wounded were gen erously cared for by the authorities cf Havana, the hospitals being freely opened to them, while the earliest re-i covered bodies of the dead were in-j terred by the municipality in a public; cemetery in the city. Tributes cf grief and sympathy were ottered from all oflioial quarters of the island, f I he Investigation. The appalling calamity fell upon the people of our country with crushing force, and for a brief time an intense excitement 'prevailed, which, in a com munity less just and self-controlled than ours might have led to .hasty acts of bliid resentment. This spirit, how ever, soon gave way to the calmer pro cesses of reason, and to the resolve to investfgate the facts and await material proof before forming a judgment as to the cause, the responsibility, and if the 'acts warranted, the remedv' due. This course necessarily recommended itself from the outset to the executive, for only in the light of dispassionately as certained certainty could it determine the nature and measure of its full duty in the matter. The usual procedure was followed in all cases of casualty or disaster to national vessels of any mar- ' ... .i. i.uval court of inquiry wub at once organized composed of offi cers weil qualified by rank and practi cal experience to discharge the onerous duties irnr ose I upon them. Aided by a strong force of wreckers and divers, the court proceeded to make a thorough investigation on the spot, employing every available means for the impartial and exact determination of the causes of the explosion. Its operations have been conducted with the utmost delib eration and judgment and, while inde pendendently pursued, no source of information was neglected; and the fullest opportunity was allowed for a simultaneous investigation by the Span ish authorities. I " Finding of the Court. ! The finding of the court of inquiry was rfeacjhed after twenty-three days )f continuous labor, on the 21st of March, jnstaut, and having been ap proved on the 23d, by the commander-in-chief of the United States naval force of the North Atlantic station, was transmitted to the executive. It is herewith laid before the Congress, to gether with the voluminous testimony taken before the court. Its purport in brief, is es follows! j "When the Maine arrived at Havana she was conducted by the regular gov ernment pilot to buoy Xo. 4. to which she was moored in from five and one half to six fathoms of water. The state of discipline on board and the condition of her magazines, boilers, coal bunkers and storage compart ments are passed in review, with the conclusion that excellent order prevail-, MAIMS COURT OF -INQUIRY. iH.?W 4&TQ Jim fist i ssJt If j wwfh .

At 8 o'clock in the evening of Feb ruary 15, everything had been reported secure and all was quiet. ., At forty minutes pa3t 0, the vessel was suddenly destroyed. . ' ; There were two explosions, with a brief interval between them. 'The first lifted the forward part of the ship very perceptibly; the i second, which was more open, prolonged and of greater volume, is attributed by the court to the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines. . The evidence of the divers establishes that the afterpai t of the ship was prac tically intact and sank in that condi tion a very few minuts after the ex plosion. The forward part was com pletely demolished. The evidence of a concurrent external cause, the finding of the court is as follows: The Nature of the Injury to the Ship. At frame 17. the outer shell of tho ship, from a point eleven and one-half ! fflAt from thfi middle line of the shin ! and six.feet above the keel when in its normal position, has been forcod up so as to be now about four feet above the surface of the water; therefore about 34 ! the scene of the explosion, feet above where it would have been had l 2io dangerous stores of any kind were the ship sunk uninjured. The outside j stowed below in any df the other store bottom plating is bent into areversed V j rooms, j shape, the after wing qf which, about I '-The coal ; bunkers, were inspected 15 feet broad and 32 feet in length '.daily. Of these bunkers adjacent to (from frame 17 to frame .25), is doubled bask up in itself against the continua tion of the same plating extending for ward. At frame 18 the vertical keel is broken in two, and the flat keel bent into an angle similar to the angle form ed by the outside bottom plates. This break is now about 6 feet below the sur face of the water and about 30 feet above its normal position. In the opinion of the court this effect could have been produced only by the explosion of a mine situated "under the bottom of the ship, at about frame 18, and somewhat on the port side of the ship. The Conclusions. The conclusions of the court are: That the loss of the Maine was not in any respect due to fault or negligence on the part of any of the officers or members of her crew. ; That the ship was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine which caused the par tial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines; and that no evi dence has been obtainable fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine Upon any person or per sons. Her Majesty Informed. I have directed that the finding of the court of inquiry aud the views of this government thereupon be com municated to the .government of Her Maiestv. the Queen Regent, atvd I do not permit myself to doubt that the sense of justice of tbeSpanish nation j will dictate a course ot action euggesi- . ed by our friendly relations. It will be the duty of the executive to advise Con- press of the result and in tne meantime deliberate consideration is invoked. William McKixiiET. Executive "Mansion, March 23, 1893. REPORT OF THE COURT Text or the Findings of the Board of Inquiry Into the Destruction of the Maine. The following is the report of the court of inquiry : In re explosion of the United States Battleship Maine, Before a Court of Inquiry, Key West, Fla., United States Steamship Iowa, first rate, Key West, Fla., Monday March 21, 1QJS. After full and mature consideration of all the testimony bafore it, the court 5nds, as follows: " I. That the United States battleship Maine arrivod in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on the twenty-fifth day of Jan uary, eighteen hundred and ninety eight, and was taken to buoy No. 4, in from live and a hall to six fathoms of water, by the regular government pilot. The United States consul general at Havana had notified the authorities at that place on the previous evening of the arrival cf the Maine. II. , The state of discipline on board the Maine was excellent, and all orders and regulations in regard to the care and safety of the ship were strictly carried out. All ammitnition was stored in ac cordance with prescribed instructions, and proper care was taken whenever ammunition was handled. Nothing waa stowed in any of the magazines or shell rooms which was not permitted to be stowed there. Tile magazines and shell rooms were COMMANDER AD OLPH MARIS. LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER W. P.

The only magazine which had an undue amount of heat was not exploded at the ; time the Maine was destroyed. The torpedo warheads were all stowed in the afternart of the ship under the ward room, and neither caused nor participated in the; destruction of the Maino. ! The dry gun cotton primers aud detonators were stowed in the cabin aft and remote from the scene of the explosion. j Waste was carefully looked after on board the Maine to obviate danger. Special orders in. regard tD this had been given by the commanding officer. Yarnishers, dryers, alcohol and other combustibles of this nature were stowed on or above the mam elect, and pould uot have had anything to do with the destruction of the Maine. The medical stores were stowed aft under the ward room and remote from tho forward magazine and shell rooms, four were em ptv, namely, "B 3," B 4," "B;5" "B- U."

The coal had been carefully inspected before receiving it on board. The bunker in which it was stored was accessible on three sides at fall times, and the fourth side at this time, on account of bunkers "B 5 and "B 6" being empty. This bunker, "A 16" had been inspected that day by the engineer officer on duty. The fire alarms in the bunkers were in working order, and there had never been a case of spontaneous combustion of coal on board the Maine. The two after boilirs of the ship were in use at the time of the disaster, but for auxiliary purposes only, with a comparatively low pressure of steam, and being attended only by a reliable watch. These boilers could not have caused the explosion of the ship. The four forward boilers have since been found by the divers and are in a fair condition. The night of the destruction of the Maine, everything had been reported secure for the night at 8 p. in., byre liable persons, through the proper au thorities, to the commanding officer. At the time the Maine was destroyed, the ship was quiet, and therefore least liable to accident caused by movements from those on board. . : III. The destruction of the Maine occur red at 9:40 p. m. on tho 15th day of February 1898, in the harbor of Ha vana, Cuba, she being at the time moored to the same buoy to which she had been taken upon lier arrival, There were two explosions of a dis tinctly different character, with a very short, but distinct, interval between them, and the forward part of the ship was lifted to a marked degree at the time of the first explosion. The first explosion was more in the hature of a report like that of a gun; while the second explosion was more open, prolonged and of greater volume. This second explosion was, in the opin ion of the court, cause by the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines oi tne Aiume. . i The evidence bearing upon this, be ing principally obtained from divers, did not enable the court to form a defi nite conclusion a3 to the condition of the wreck, although it was established that the after part of the ship wais practically intact, aud sank in that con dition a very few minutes after the de struction of the forward part. The following fact3 in regard to tho forward part of the ship are, however, established by the testimony: "That pjortion of the port side of the protec tive deck, which extends from about frame 30 to about frame 41, was blown up, air, and over to port. Tne main deck from about frame 30 to about frame 41 was bl-own up, aft, and slightly over to starboard, folding tho forward part of the middle superstructure over and on top of the after part. This was, in the opinion of the court, caused by the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines of the Maine. At frame 17, .the outer shell of the ship, from a point 11 A feet from the middle line of the ship, and 6 feet above the keel when m its normal position, has been forced up so as to be now about 4 feet above the surface of the water; therefore about 34 feet above where it would be, had the ship sunk uninjured. i The outside bottom plating is bent into a reverse V shape, the after wing of which, about 15 feet: broad and 32 feet in length (from frame 17 to frame 25) is doubled back upon itself against the continuation of tho same plating ex tending forward. At frame 18 the vertical keel is bro ken in two, and the flat keel bent into an angle similar to the aDgle formed by the outside bottom plating.- This break is now about 6 feet below the surface of the water and about 30 feet above its normal position. In the opinion of the court, this ef fect could have been produced only by the explosion of a mine situated under the bottom of the ship at about frame KENTUCKY. 1 18, and somewhat on the port side of i the ship. VI. The court finds that the loss of th Maine on the occasion named was no in any respect due to fault or negli gence on the part of any of the officers or members of the crow of said teasel. VII. In the opinion of the conrt, the Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a Ftib marine mine, which caused tho partial explosiotx of two or moreof her forward magazines. ' VIII. . The court has been, unable to obtain evidence fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Mamo upon any person or persons. W. T. SAMPSON, Capt. U. S. NY, President. A. MARIX, Lieut. -Com. U.

THE SPANISH RKPOUT. Claims That the Kxplosloo Was Intcr-nal--A Very Weak Document. A full synnopsis of the report of the Spanish naval commis sion which investigated the de struction of the battleship has been given the Associated Press. It is taken from a copy of the original report, which is now on its way from Ha vana, the synopsis being cabled in the meantime, and has been placed in the hands of this government. The conclu sions reached are directly opposit3 to those in tho report of the court of in quiry submitted to Congress. The syn opsis is as follows: "TIia rnnrk rrntniim d AC Inrfttlnna (made by occular witnesses and experts. i rom these .'tafemeuts it clearly de duces and proves - the absence of all those attendant circumstam-es which are invariably present on the occasion ! . P J 1 1 . f A. 1 oi me explosion oi a xorpeuo. "The evidence of witnesses compara tively close to the Maine at the moment is to the effect that only one explosion occurred; that no column of water was thrown into the air; that no shoc-k to the side of the nearest vessel vaa i'eit, nor on land was any vibration noticed, and that no dead fish were iouud. "The evidence of tho senior pilot oi the harbor states that there is abund ance of fish in the harbor and this is corroborated by other witnesses. The assistant engineer of works states that after explosions made during the execu tion of works in the harbor be Las al ways found dead fish. "The divers were iniablo to examin the bottom of the Maine, which was buried in the mud, but u careful exam fination of the sides of tho vessel th rents and breaks, in which all point outward, shows without n doubt, thai the explosion was from the inside. "A minute examination of the bottom of the harbor around tho ve.-el bh'owi absolutely no sin cf the action of a torpedo and tho fiscal (judge. advocate)' of the commission fituU no precedent for tho explosion of the storage maga zines of a vessel by a tori odo. "The report aatca clear that awing to the special nature of the proceedings followed, and the absolutr ie-pect shown for the extra-territoriality o) the Maine, the commission has beer prevented from making &uch uu exam iuation of the inside of the ve-s. cl as would determine even the hq othesii the internal origin of tho accident. Ihii is to be attributed to the regrctublo re fueal to permit of the necessary co operation of the Spanish cornmituion, both with the commander and 'crew o: the Maine, and the different American officials commanded to investigate, the causes of the accident, and later on with those employed ia salvage work. "The report finishes by stating that an examination of tho ingido and out side of the Maine, as soon as fcuch ex amination may be possible, as also ol the bottom where the vessel rests prove that, supposing tho remains (ol the wreck) not to be totally or partially alterated in the process of extraction, the explosion was undoubtedly duo to some interior cause. " No Insurance on Cottoti. A special to the St. Louis (Mo,) Re public from Austin, Tel. , says: The cotton buyers and brokers of (he State are becoming alarmed at the situation in their, business, brought on by war rumors. They find it impossible to se cure;in6urance on export cotton from either Galveston or New Orleans, as the insurance people will not accept the cotton with the present war cloud hanging ovor the country.
