the United States government for Spanish divers to examine the wrecr the investigation by the Spanish authorities of the condition of the ship as it lies in the water proceeds slowly They seemed to be in no hurry to learn the facts about the hull magazines and other matters which were first to engage the attention of the naval board The government has however taken considerable testimony of persons who were in the harbor our the night of the explosion It gives much weight to the testimony of those who say they saw flames issuing from the Maine before the ship was wrecked by an explosion The understanding in Hav&n is that the naval board will be emphatic in exonerating Captain Sigsbee and the officers of the Maine from implication of negligence lack of discipline or responsibility for the disaster It has been almost forgotten that until the board reports on the subject Captain Sigsbee is nominally under a cloud — that is the inquiry must determine whether or not the commander of the Maioe was in any way responsible for her loss The secrecy with which the investigation has beeif conducted has not prevented the testimony on the subject from becoming known The board will be able to go further and show that there was not only an accident which could have been prevented but also no basis for the theories of accident from an unknown cause How far it will go in the assertion of positive proof that the Maine was blown up is for the present a speculation The prevalent Impression is that the board has evidence of the deed without the means of finding out who committed it It ia incumbent on the Spar ish government to find that out The denial credited to Senor Du Bose in Washington that mines existed in Havana harbor does not receive the weight that would be given an official declaration from Captain General Blanco or Premier Sagasta on the same subject In official circles here it is the evident purpose to combat the finding of the naval board but not aggressively The Spanish attitude seems to be that an accident was probable and that the United States is not justified in making a demand for reparation when the proof of foul play is not’ positive The assumption will be that the two governments after taxing evidence will b unable to agree in their conclusions However there has been nothing in the nature of a joint investigation Slow Progress Think a Mine Destroyed the Maine Havana March 6 — Most of the naval officers here and at Key West incline to the opinion that the court will find that the disaster to the Maine was caused by the explosion of a floating submarine mine under the port side of the ship forward Opinions differ as to whether the mine was made of high explosives such as wet and dry gun cotton or ordinary gun powder Opinions agree not only as to the existence of mines In the harbor bat also that this one was laid purposely near the bouy where foreign vessels were directed to moor and was fired from an electric battery on shore It is belived barely possible that the explosion was the result of carelessness or ignorance of Spanish officers in charge of the mine station keys when testing the circuit but the latter supposition is felt to be probable It is further regarded as settled by the evidence before the court that the port side of the hull forward was completely blown to pieces and that the only explosion on the Maine except of isolated cases of fixed ammunition was that of 2000 pounds of saluting powder stored forward and of which do trace can be found Uilsonlte Lands Indian Washington March 7— The Resolution
