Washington, Feb. 1. General Biz by, chief of engineeis of the army, brings from Havana the report that un less unforeseen difficulties are experi enced all that is left of the old battle ship Maine will be floated out of fi' vana harbor by March 1st and sunk in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico, a few miles off the north coast of Cu ba, In fact. General Bixby says about' a third of the ship all of that part for ward of the rent which severed the bow section hai been dumpedjnto the sea without attracting attention. The metal was cut up by an oxyacetylene jet into half-ton fragrnints) which were placed on scows and deposited aboujt a mile off shore. This work is about completed, and it is expected that with in a week or ten days only the after part of the ship, which it is proposed to float away intact, will remain in the cofferdam. Som trouble maybe ex perienced in floating the wreck. A bulk head closes the great opening where the bow was cut off and the hulk will be water-tight, but it is feared that thb wreck may be held in the grip of the hard clay bottom in which it has been imbedded for 13 years. In that case powerful water jets will be re quired to work under the hull and loos en it. The after turrent of the ship has been unbolted from the deck and is ready for transfer to the shore. It has been giv en to the city of Havana and is to be erected as a monument in a public park One of the masts is now at Governor's Island and the-other is aboard the col lier Justin, awaiting transportation to the national cemetery at Arlington, where it will be placed over' the gaves of the victims of the Maine. When the wreck finally is fhated out to sea, with ceremony and in the presence of a dis tinguished company the giant coffer dam will he removed and nothing will be left visible in Havana harbor to mark the scene nf the great cat astro phe. Deeply imbedded in the mud at tho bottom of the harbor will lie the in verted forward turret of the ship with its ten-inch guns, which it has not thought worth while to raise.

Eddy. the Christian Science 4esder,m tbelr flghl for possawion of 4 he 3,000,000es- tate left by hex to ibe Mother Church of Boston Jodge Aldrich of the Feder al District Coart of New .Hampshire has handed down a decision overruling the demurer of the -defendant directors of ne Mothe? Church, which removes the last legal obstacle to a trisl of the issues in tho case,, Mrs. Eddy had- an agreement with her two sons by which they pledged themselves for 300,000 each not to coptest iariy - disposition she might make of her estate by will. This so-called "settlement".- had 'been ex pected to end litigation on its threshold and prevent a triaLof the case. Now the trial is expected to take place in New Hampshire in the early spring. The plaintiffs are E. J. Foster Eddy, Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, and George Glover, her son. They are represented by William E. Chandler. "The cases are identical.both sons embodying the same issues.. In the opinion which accompanies his decision Judge Aldrich says, in part: In this case both parties claim they are entitled to final relief upon the pleadings as a result of this bearing, the position of the plaintiff being that as the demurer .admits the facia as al leged, and as the bill discloses teachings and doings manifestly contrary to the public policy of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and a bequest which is at once void. ss against the public policy of the laws of these States, .and as the release o the heir in question was alleged procured through concealment and by fraud, that a final decree for the plaintiff should follow." The Court then refers to the claim made by the plaintiff .that he would not have agreed to a settlement of $300,000 had be known the contents of hia moth er's will or to make what is dercribed Lin the the complaint as an unlawful do nation. Describing Mrs Eddy's bequest to the Mother Church as $2,000,000 or more. Justice Aldrich continues: The stable of New Hamsbira which the plaintiff claims is offended by the bequest is as follows: "Tho Income of any grsnt or donation made to or for i he use of a church shall not exceed $6, 000 a year, exclusive of the income of any parsonsge lands granted to or for the use of the ministry.' And that of Massachusetts resds. "The income of the gifts, grants, tx quests and devices made to or for the use of any church shall not exceed $2,000 a year, excloslve of the income of any psrsonage land granted ti or for the use of the minis try.' " The court then goes to the charges of tbe plaintiff that Mrs. Eddv was under delusions sod her mind polskmaf against her sons by the directors of tbe Christ itn Scienre Church, into whote cos tod) and control i he had passed. Tht court finds that the Uegatioosarsnot dent d by tie pleadings r admitted by the demurrer. Regarding the contention raised ia the demurrer ot the Bosloo director Judge A drich rale.
