J Sunken Battleship a Serious Menace to Shipping of Havana Harbor. Washington. Governor Magoon, ol the provisional government of Cuba, In his annual report to the secretary of war, made public Sunday, brings to his attention the wreck ot the United States battleship Maine in Havana harbor, and recommends that the government take Immediate steps to ao compllsh its removal without turthef delay. He says: "The wreck of the Maine continue to lie in the mud and waters ot Havana harbor. The sunken battleshlc Is a serious menace to the shipping ot the harbor, as it occupies a portion ol tho best anchorage. The obstruction has increased annually during the past ten years by causing a shoal. The moderate tides prevailing in the bar bor are hardly sufficient to prevent s gradual filling up, and this shoal so rlouslv interferes with the action ol the tides, and, therefore, the entire harbor Is rapidly filling. It will be necessary, in a short time, to begin dredging In order to provide proper anchorage for the large amount ot shipping now entering the harbor, unless the wreck is removed. The anchorage is also restricted by the wreck and the shoal, for ships are obliged tc anchor at sufficient distance to prevent grounding in case they strain on their cables."
