I expect that will be closed favorably. he real danger lies in the settlement of the Cuban question,”* The most that high Washington officials expect from the naval board is the verdict: ‘We were blow up by some ex- ternal cause, but we cannot prove how or by whom it was done.’? This fairly represents the view of most of the president's advisers. A few still adhere to the accident theo- ry. The board of inquiry has been in- structed by the navy department to pursue every clew in making its investigation and thus leave no loop- hole for future adverse criticism, POWERFUL EXPLOSIVES, Discovered at Jast That the Maine’s Back Was Broken When She Sank in the Harbor at Havana.

An Old Indian Doctor and a Little Girl Lynehed, Cuba, March, 3.—The 8 back was broken. This latest discovery made by the expert divers not only supports the informa- tion published last Friday concerning the disclosures of paramount import- auce made by Kosign Powelson, but convinces those in charge of the sub- marine investigation beyond all shadow of a doubt that a submarine mine rent the battleship asunder. The keel of the ship has been found in two pieces, the nearest ends of which are now separated by a distance of two and a half to three feet. The sections are no longer lying in one straight line, but show the effect of the force exerted from port to star- board, noticeable in no other wreck- age. 1t is evident, from the discovery of the present condition of the keel, that section of the bottom having been found twenty vine feet from its natural position, that the bottom was wrenched from the keel by the first explosion and driven upward, The keel itseif was forced in the middle until it was broken in two and then col.apsed in two sections, which fell in the position in which the divers found them. Persons familiar with the results of high explosives and with wrecks above and under water,say the break- ing of the keel now disclosed could pot possibly bave been done by an internal explosion of a vessel alone, In fact, this last discovery of the manner in which the BMpyine's back was broken, taken together with} War Preparations Continue to Be Pushed Very Rapidly at Every Arsenal — Spain Morgantown, N March 3.— An old Indian doctor ana a little girl who kept house for him have been found hanging from trees near their cabin at the head of Irish creek.
