BOARD LAYS WRECK TO SUBMARINEMfflNH But Spaniards Are Not Mentioned la Connection With the Disaster The Findings Referred to Foreign Rela tions Committee Without a Word, of Debate. Washington, March 28. The prest dent today sent the following message to congress: -. To the Congress of the United States For some time prior to the visit of the Maine to Havana harbor our consular representatives pointed out the advant ages to flow from the visit of national hips to the Cuban waters, in accustom- -.mar .1 f roTTcjc; SAttPSOU BOARD OF ENQUfRT. ing the people to the presence of our flag as the symbol ef good will and of our ships in the fulfillment of the mis sion of protection to American interests, even though no immediate need therefor might exist. Accordingly, on Jan. 24, last, after a conference with the Spanish minister in which the renewal of visits of our war vessels to Spanish waters was discussed and accepted, the peninsula authorities at Madrid and Havana were advised of the purpose of this government to re sume friendly naval visits at Cuban ports and that in that view the Maine would forthwith call at the port of Havana. - This announcement was re ceived by the Spanish government with appreciation of the friendly character of the visit of the Maine and with notifica tion of intention to return the courtesy by sending Spanish ships to the princi pal ports of the United States. Mean while the Maine entered the port of Havana on ' Jan. 25, her arrival being marked with no special incident besides the exchange of customary salutes and ceremonial visits. ! The Maine continued in the harbor of. Havana during the three weeks fol lowing. No appreciable excitement ex citement attended her stav. On the contrary, a feeling of relief and confi dence followed the resumption of the long interrupted friendly interoouse. So noticeable was this immediate effect of her visit that the consul general 6trongly urged that the presence of our ships in Cuban waters should be kept np by retaining the maine at Havana, or in the event of her recall, by sending another vessel there to take her place. At 40 minutes past 9 in the evening of Feb. 15 the Maine was destroyed by an explosion, by which the entire for ward part of the ship was utterly wrecked. In this catastrophe two offi cers and 284 of her crew perished, those who were not killed outright by her ex plosion being penned between decks by the tangle of wreckage and drowned by me immediate sinking of the hull. Prompt assistance was rendered by the neighboring vessels anchored in the har bor, aid being especially given by the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII and the Ward line steamer City of Washington, wmcn iay not far distant. Wounded Cared For. lhe wounded were generously cared for by the authorities of Havana, the 7A oemg zreeiy opened to them. wms me earnest recovered bodies ol the dead were interred by the munici- panty in a public cemetery in the city. 1 offered from aTTjofficIal quarters of the"1 island. x The appalling calamity fell upon the people of our country with crushing force and for a brief time an intense ex citement prevailed, which, in a commu nity less just and self controlled than ours,1 might have led to hasty acts of blind resentment. This spirit, how ever, soon gave way to the calmer pro cesses of reason and to the resolve to in vestigate the facts and await material proof before forming a judgment as to the- cause, the responsibility, and if the facts warranted, the remedy due. This course necessarily recommended itself from the outset to the executive for only in the light of a dispassionately ascer tained certainty could it determine the nature and measure of its full duty in the matter. The usual procedure was followed, as in all cases of casualty or disaster, to na tional vessels of any maritime state. A naval court of inquiry was at once or-: trani zed. comtreea of officers well Quali fied by rank and practical experience to discharge the onerous duty imposed Vpon them. Aided by a strong force of wreckers, and divers, the court pro ceeded to make a thorough investigation on the spot, employing every available means for the impartial and exact deter ruination of the causes of the explosion. Its operations have been conducted with the utmost deliberation and judgment aad while independently pursued no source of information was neglected and the luiiest opportunity was allowed for simultaneous investigation by the Bpanish authorities. The finding of the court or inquiry was reached after 23 days of continuous labor, on March 21, inst.. and nav Insr been aonroved on the twenty- second by the oommander-in-chiei or the United States naval force on the North Atlantic station was transmitted to the executive. Verdict In Brief. It is herewith laid before the congress together with the voluminous testimony taken before the court. Its purport is, in brief, as follows: . 1 When the Maine arrived at Havana she was conducted by the regular gov ernment pilot to buoy No. 4, to which was moored in from 5 to 6 fathoms of The Btate of discipline on board and the condition of her magazines, boilers, coal bunkers and storage compartments are passed in review, with tne conclu sion that excellent order prevailed and that no indication of any cause for an internal explosion existed in any quar ter. - At 8 o'clock on the evening of Feb. 15 everything had been reported secure and all was quiet. , At 9:40 o'clock the vessel was suddenly destroyed. . There were two distinct explosions, with a brief interval between them. The first lifted the forward part of the ship very perceptibly; the second, which was more upon, prolonged and of neater 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 after part of the ship was prao tically intact and sank in that condition a very few minutes after the explosion. The forward part was completely de, molished. I Upon the evidence of a concurrent external cause the finding of the' court is as follows: At frame 17 the outer shell of the ehin. from a noint 1 1 14 foet from the middle line of the ship and 6 feet above the keel when in its normal position, was 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. The outside bottom nlatina 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 up in itself against the continuation of the same plating ex tending forward. . At frame 18 the vertical Keens DroKen in two and the flat keel is bent into an angle similar to the angle formed by the outside bottom plates, ine Drean is now about 6 feet below the surface of the water and about 30 feet above its normal position. Mine Caused Wreck. 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 atxrat irame 10 and somewhat on the port side of the ship. - I The conclusions of the court are: The loss of tha Maine was not due to negligence on the part of any of the officers or members of her crewi That the ship was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, which roused the nartial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines, and That no evidence has been obtainable showing the responsibility of the de struction of the Maine upon any person or rwvrsnns. I fhave directed that the finding of the court .of inouirv and the views of this government thereon be communicated to the eovernment of her majesty, the 3 aeon, and I do not permit myself to rmbr that the sense of justice of the 'ftnn.nii5h nation will dictate a course of Mtinn Riicerested bv honor and the f rienly relations of the two govern' raanta. xt win do tne quit ox- me executive w advise the congress of the result, and in the meantime deliberate consideration is invoked, j ' William McKinlky. In neither senate or house was there any debate on the 'reference of the presi dent's message and other documents to committees having charge of our Cuban FULL TEXT OF THE .- MAINE COURT'S REPORT Findings as Sent to Congress by Pres ident McKinley. The following is the full text of the report of the court of inquiry: Key West, Monday, March 21. After full and mature consideration of kail the testimony before it the court finds as follows: - 1. That the United States battleship Maine arrived in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on Jan. 25, 1693, and was taken to buoy No. 4, in from 5 to 6 fathoms of water, by the regular government pilot. i The United States consul general at Havana had notified the authorities at that place the previous evening of the Intended arrival of the Maine. 2. 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 ammunitions were stowed in ac cordance with prescribed instructions, and proper care was taken with which ammunition was handled. Nothing was stowed in any one of the magazines or shell rooms which was not permitted to be stowed there." - The magazines and shell i rooms were always locked after having been en tered, and after the' destruction of the Maine the keys were found in their proper place mj the captain's cabin, everything having been reported secure that evening at 8 p. m. j The temperature of the magazines and shellrooms were taken daily and re ported. The only magazine which had an undue amount of neat was the after 10-inoh magazine, and that did not ex plode at the time the Maine was de stroyed. 1 i The torpedo warheads were all stowed In the after part ol the snip under tne wazdroom, and neither caused nor par ticipated In the destruction of the Maine. .1 ! The dry gun primers and detonators were stowed in the cabin aft, and re mote from the scene of the explosion. Waste was carefully looked after on board the Maine to obviate danger. Great Care Exercised. Varnishes, dryers, alcohol and other combustibles of this nature were stowed on or above the main deck and could not have had anything to do with the de struction of the Maine. i The medical stores were stowed ait nder the ward room and remote from the scene of the explosion; no danger ous stores of any kind were stowed be low in any 1 of the other store rooms. The coal bunkers were inspected daily. The fire alarms in the bunkers were in working order,1 and there had never been a case of spontaneous combustion of coal on board the Maine. The two after boilers of the ship were . in use at the time of the disaster, but for auxiliary purposes only, with a com paratively low pressure of , steam, and being tended by a reliable watch. These boilers could not have caused the ex plosion of the ship. The four forward boilers have since been found by the divers and are in a fair condition. On the night of the destruction of the Maine everything had been reported se cure for the nightr at 8 p. m... by relia hte nersonB. throueh the proper authori ties 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. 8. The destruction of the Maine oc curred at 9:40 p. m. on Feb. 15, 1898, in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, she being at the time moored to the buoy to which she had been taken on her arrival. Were Two Explosions. 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 nature of a report, like that of a gun; while the second explosion was more open, prolonged and of greater volume. Tnis second explosion was in the opin ion of the court caused by the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines of the Maine. 4. The evidence bearing upon thia, being principally obtained from divers, did not enable the court to form a defi nite conclusion as to the condition of the wreck, although it was established that the after part of the ship was prac tically intact and sank in that condition in a very few minutes after the destruc tion of the forward part. The following facts in regard to the forward part of the ship are, however, , established by the testimony: .. luac poruuu oi tne pure sme ot Zhrs protective deck whUh extends from about frame SO to 41 was blown up, aft and over to the port. The , main deck from about frame SO to about frame 41 were blown np and slightly starboard f olding the forward part of the middle superstructure over and on ton 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. 5.. At frame 17 the outer shell of the hip from a point U feet from the middle of the ship and 6 feet above the keel when in its normal position, has been forced up so as to be. now about 4 feet above where it would be had it sunk uninjured. The side bottom plat ing is bent into a reverse in the V shape. the after wing of which. 1ft feet broad and 82 feet in length (from frame 17 to 25), is doubled back upon Itself against the continuation of the plate extending forward.

IF SHE FAILS TO DO SO WE WILL INTERVENE Affair on ike Island Intolerable to the People of America Note DcaiMd- tnr Speedy Termination f IleetUl- tiea May Be on the Way to MiUrrtd Now. At frame 18 the vertical tecl is brok' in two. and the flat keel bent into i angle similar to the angle formed by the outside bottom plating. This break is now about 6 feet below the surface of the water, and about 80 feet above its normal position. In the opinion of the cout. this effect could have been pro duced only by the explosion of a mine situated: under the bottom of a ship at about frame 18, and somewhat on the port side of the Bhip. 6. The court finds that the loss ot the Maine was not in any rwrpec due to fault or negligence on the part of any of the officers or members ox the crew of said vessel. 7. In the opinion of the court the Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, which caused the partial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines. 8. The court has been unable to ob tain evidence fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or persons. (Signed) W. T. SaW60, Captain U. a N President, A.

The Tmpardal and The liberal today agree in saying that the mediation of the European powers will be difficult in view of the crisis in the far east, adding: ."Anyway Spain is able herself to resent insults and repudiate unjust pretension.". The Liberal also says: "If the United States desires to assist Cuba the simplest means is to confine the mission to Spanish Bed Cross, which was recently helped in the same object bv ' France. Russia. Hune&rr. Portugal. Venezuela and Argentine. The bpanisn Bed Cross is well organized in Cuba, and besides many members-are ready to co there from Spain if necessary. "However, if the United States wan to war let her say so frankly and not seek charitable or humanitarian excuses. The Diaro quotes the minister for the colonies. Benar Alaret, as replying to Question of the minister of marine. Ad miral Bonne jo. with the remark, "the storm continues, but the barometer is rising." This is regarded as meaning that the situation is not' so unfavorable to Spain as it was. 8AVANNAH PEOPLE STIRRED. Pine Benefit Eatertatamtnt Fesr La Maine Monument Fund. Bavak bah, March 2S.

Spain, al though apparently defiant, has asked for further delay before the United States does anything more about Cuba. says the Washington coiTespondent of The Herald. This request was made through Senor Polo de Bernabe, the Spanish minister in Washington. He promised in Spain's behalf, that she would lav before the state department at an early day a plan for a more liberal government of Cuba. . Guns Coming to Georgia. Washington, March 29. Senator Ba con has received from Chief of En gineers Wilson of tiie army department a letter containing assurances that four rapid fire guns will be sent to Savannah as soon as they arrive from Kn gland. Two of these are to be erected on Tybee island and two are to be placed at some location yet to be determined upon fox defense of the Wilmington and Warsaw river. W ashing to it, March 8. It can be stated on positive information that this government will, if indeed itVhas not already done so, inform Spain that THE CONDITIONS NOW EXISTING IN CUBA HAVE BECOME INTOL ERABLE TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY,. AND THAT HOSTILI TIES ON THE ISLAND MUST CLOSE. This policy is directly in line wth the views of the president as ex pressed in his last message to congress on Dec 0. In thLi meesago he said:. . "The instructions given to our new minister to Spain, before his departure for his post, directed him to impress upon that government the sincere wish of the United States to lend its aid to ward the ending of the war in Cuba by leaohing a peaceful and lasting result, just and honorable alike to Spain and the Cuban people. These instructions recited the character and duration of the contest, the widespread losses it en tails, its burdens and restraints it im poses upon us, with constant distur bance of national interest, and the In jury resulting from an indefinite con tinuance of this state of things. No so lution was proposed to which the slight idea of humiliation to Spain could at tach, and indeed, precise proposals were withheld to avoid embarassment to that ttovernment." After reciting the substance of Spain's reply, received on Oct. 23, last, the pres ident says: The immediate ameuoration of Istina conditions under the new admin istration of Cuban affairs is -predicted, and theroarithal the disturbance and all occasion for any change of .attitude on the part of the United States." . Since the delivery ox tnu message evidence has accumulated showing be- End question that the promise in be ll of the new admiiustration te re lieve the conditions in Cuba, have not been fulfilled or accomplished. On the contrary, the evidence which has reached the; president showed conclusively tnat the situation is aaiiy peoornmK more serious. - In view of these facts this rovem ment has decided to take, if it hae not already taken, definite action by inform In a Srjain. that while disavowing any interest other than that dictated toy a senso of honor and justice to a stricken and starving people, it must insist that hostilities be brought to a speedy termi nation. So far-as known no rpedfio date has been fixed within which the war must be tormina tod, but it is be lieved it is the purpose of the adminis tration not to permit of any unnecessary or extended delay. It is known in high official circles that many of the people highest In authority in Spain, including members of the ministry,- are extremely weary of the conflict in Cuba and would willingly ac cede to any reasonable terms -for a set tlement of the whole question by grant ins' to Cuba her independence on an in demnity basis. The opposition to this plan comes from the factions opposed to the present administration, who demand extreme measures if necessary to retain control of the island. In view of these conditions what would be the answer to our demands cannot be foretold.. Ulacka Anxious For Mufti. I ilAELETON, March 23. The wcgror around Charleston are vt ild to go to war.
