Tto two after teslers erf tto- ship were in uae at tto ttoae of tto d. saatiar. tort for aaxitory perporea only, with a com paratively low prencun at steam, and totos tended by a reiuto’e watch.. These btokn could not have caaaed tto ex ptoaicn of tto ship. Tto four forward ocxlen have stoce been fonad by the divers and are to a fair condi t ;00.

Cuba. =he being at tto time moored to tto boey to which si- had been taken on her arrival Were Two Explosion*. There were two expksaocs at a dis tantly different character, with a very abort but distinct interval between then, and tto forward part erf tto ship tyas lifted to a marked degree at tto t&e of tto first expiosicc. The first expkeion was more in tto nature of a report, like that cf a gnu; while tto txpkmon was mere and of greater volnte. second explosion wto to the opin ion at tto court caused by tto partial egplostob at two or more of the forward magazines of the Maine. 4. Tto evidence bearing upon this being principally obtained ipom divers did. not enable tto court to form a defi nite ccnehußou as to the esnditton of the wredt. although it was established that the after part erf the ship was pre--. ticaUy it tact 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: That portion of the port side of the protective deck which extends from about frame 30 to 41 was blown up, aft and over to the port. The main deck from about frame 30 to about frame 41 were blown up and slightly starhoard folding the 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 eaplwion of two ar more of the forward magazines of the Maine 5. At frame 17 the outer shell of the ■hip from a point ll feet from tto 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, 15 feet broad and 32 feet in length (from frame 17 to 25), is doubled back upon itself against the continuation of the plate extending forward. Keel Broken In Two. At frame 18 the vertical keel is broken in two, and the flat keel lent into an angle similar to the angle formed bythe outside bottom plating. Tils break is now about 6 feet below the surface of tto water, and about 30 feet above its normal position. In the opinion 61 the oout, this effect could have been pro duced only by tto explosion of a mine situated under tto bottom of a ship at about frame 18, and somewhat on the port side of tto ship. 6. The court finds that tto loss of the Maine was not in any respect due to fault or negligence on "the part of any of tto officers or members of the crew of ■aid vessel 7. In tto opinion of tto 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 beep unable to < >b tain evidence fixing the responslbnity for the destruction of the Maine upon any person or persons. (Signed) W. T. Sampson, Captain U. S. N., Fresident. A. Marix.
