Havana, July 18.—The process of re- moving the water surrounding the wreck of the Maine was practically completed this evening when the water level in the cofferdam had bzen lower- ed 18 feet, leaving the wreck sur- rounded by islets of mud, small pools and sink holes of green slimy water, in which scuttled myriads of crabs marine worms and other small crea- turss. The Soundings tonight showed nowhere a depth in excess of four ee The dregs of water remaining in the cofferdam can be removed in a few hours, but it s now apparent that the enginzers are confronted with an in- finitely more serious problem, the re- moval of the mud in which the remains of the battleship are embedded, from a minimum of 37 feet to a depth that can only be conjectured. Although the water is now only two feet lower than in_previous pumping operations, the reyelatigns with regard to the shattered condition of the huik have been vastly enlarged, owing to the lateral outspreading of the distori- ed frames and plating, especially in the forward sectjon, where the prinei- pal force of the explgsion was expend- ed. The structure of the bow as far aft as the framework is now exposed, permitting an analysis of the plates, beams, ribs, ete., and it has been shown conclusively that they originally belonged to the structure of the double bottom, which is now elevated to a height of about 40 feet above the nor- mal position, apparently giving con firmed evidence of a tremendous ex terior explosion. To this view, however, the engi- néers in charge decline to commit themselves, merely admitting the idea- tification of parts of the bottom of the ship. = In the confused mass of wreckage of tha bow is to be seen a curved piece of steel.This is believed to be what Ensign Powelson identified before the Sampson court of inquiry as part of the flat keel of the Maine.
