Tho Immense mass ot testimony taken by tho Maine court or Inquiry was sent to tho senate Monday, and with tho president's message and findings ot tho court referred to tho committee on foreign relations. Tho testimony was taken on IS different days, tho fourteen th day, however, being devoted to vlow-In- g tho wreck. Every witness who was known to havo any Information that could throw light upon tho great disaster was called to glvo his testimony. Tho story ot tho destruction, of tho vessel Is told, not graphically, but In a manner which gives ll all tho obtainable tacts. No technical Is omitted. Every movement and Incident connected with tho Malno from tho tlmo sho left Key West until tho last diver examined tho wreck, slowly sinking tn tho mud of Havana harbor, Is given. It is n story Intensely Interesting to tho people. Thoso who read It could havo llttlo doubt us lo whother Ihero was an Internal or exsigternal explosion. Perhaps' tho most bot-j nificant testimony Is that showing tho torn plates on tho port side of tho Malno to bo bent Inward and upward, a result that hardly could havo followed anything savo an explosion from tho outsldo. A mass of testimony 13 submitted showing tho caro exercised on board tho ship by Capt. fiigsbeo and his officers, and tho apparent Impossibility of tho accident occurring by any internal cause, such as tho heating of tho bunkers, spontaneous combustion or so many other theories wero bused. The testimony or Capt. Slgsbco U of the greatest Importance and perhaps Is of more general Interest than that of any other man called before tho bodrd. With great care and minuteness ho gives an acft count of the management of the ship, how the was handled, what was done from day to day on board, how sho sailed Into Havana, her anchorago and what ho knew about It; and, In fact, every point upon which the government and tho country desires to bo Informed. Nothing In Capt. Slgsbeo's testimony shows that tho anchorage was changed or that It was considered dangerous by anyone. Second to tho lmportanco of tho testimony of Capt. SIgsbee Is that of Ensign ,Scaio,l-a.2.inch.tPowe4;on, who had chnrgo ot tha divers onafaot.. nnd knew from day to day what fheso divers found.

Tho story of the explosion Is told by different witnesses and adds little to what Capt. SIgsbee and Commander Walnwrlght related. Nothing In tho testimony Axes responsibility, no conspiracy is npparcnt, no knowledge or the planting ot a mlno is shown. Capt. SIgsbee states that a somewhat bitter feeling existed against tho American sli'lp, ond Americans generally, and a witness whOso namo Is suppressed tells of overhearing a conversation among Spanish officers and a citizen Indicating a foreknowledge ot tlio destruction of the Malno by Intention to blow her up. An official of the American consulate tells ot Information received anonymously tending to show that a conspiracy existed. Dut nothing Is definitely stated whleii fixes any responsibility upon Spain or her subjects. Ucu. I.cc TcstlUea. Consul General Fltzhugh Leo appeared before tho court on March 8. Ills testimony related to tho ofllclal formalities preceding Iho Maine's arrival. On January 21 ho received a messago from tho stato department saying that tho Malna would bo sent to Havana on a friendly visit to resume the regular status of naval relations between the two countries, and lib was ordered to mako nrrangements at tlio pat-afor the rtxehungo of official courtesies. After a call at tho palaco ho ecnt the state department a cipher messago saying: "Authorities profess to think tho United Slates has ulterior purposo In ccndlng tho ship. Say it will obstruct autonomy and produce excitement, and most probably a Ask that It not bo dona demonstration. till ihcy can get Instructions from Madrid, say that ir for friendly purpose, as claimed, delay Is Important." It was loo late, however, the Maine had already sailed. Sho urrived next day and l.co reported her arrival to tho state department. All Ursula tlon Carried Out. Lieut. Commander Richard Walnwrlght testified thnt tho regulations In regard to paints und Inflammables and all other precautions wero strictly carried out on board ship. Every possible caro was taken to avoid accident. All visitors wero scrutinized before being allowed to come on board Iho ship. Nobody waa allowed Socclal "lookouts" wero ro- ce on tho 21st or March Inst., nnd having heen approved on tho 22d hy tho commander In chief of tho United Slates naval forco of the North Atlantic station, was transmitted to tha executive.

Witness hero exhibited two sketches to the court showing diagram of various parts of tho sunken ship and explained them to the court. Tho witness's evidence about the strip on the starboard side of the outsldo plating of tho ship which was folded and rolled back, was recalled to him, and Powelson said he could see plato underneath it was bent outward, as ho could seo It, as It was only two feet under water where the shear occurred. Witness had taken soundings and had found flvo fathoms of water on both sides ot tho Maine down to the mud. Taking a lead lino and dragging with a wherry for obstructions on tho port side, dragging close to where he thought tho water ways would bo found, he found no obstructions whatever. On tho starboard sldo he found obstructions for 20 feet whero ho had reason to believe the waterways had originally been. ' In answer to questions ho said thero was nothing left or tho port plating at all. He dragged along tho outsldo to seo It anything had fallen out and found nothing. Witness thought tho ship on tho port sldo was entirely gono opposite a point Indicated on a diagram handed tho court. It was entirely blown out. This concluded Ensign Powclson's testimony on the third day. X Diver's Story. Chief Gunner's Mato Olsen, of tho United States steamer Iowa, told how ho had been sent to Havana for tho purposo ot doing diving duty on tho wreck. He had descended four times, making about eight or nlno hours ot total examination. Olsen told how on his first descent ho went over tho forward part of tho ship. To uso his own expression, ho said: "1 found tho wreck all blowed up. I found a :jKJ... -I- tot of grate bars down there."

Tltis is the first time in tho history ot modern naval architecture that two immense battle ships of the first class have been launched from one yard on tho samo day, and tho Newport News Shipbuilding fc Dry Dock Co. deserves credit, for this striking illustration of the capability of American shipbuilders. The bosom of tho lordry James, opposite the immense plant of tho company, was thickly dotted with crafts of every description from tho humblo and insignificant batteau up to tho palatial yacht whoso every line told of speed and whose every motion as it rose and fell on tho swell from tho passing steamers told of grace nnd symmetry.

New York, March 29. (Special) A Washington special to the Press tonight says: "President McKinley has informed the Spanish Government that no proposition for an armistice will be considered by the Government of the United States which does not contemplate the ultimate independence of Cuba. "A demand was made upon Spain by the State Department today for immediate response to the method of determining the negotiations which have actively been in progress between Madrid and Washington for the last forty-eighours. "The correspondence has been of exceeding and importance, when laid before Congress will show to the world the active efforts of the President in behalf of the Cubans. "President McKinley realizing that the climax in the Spanish situation has culminated, he has been pressing the contention of the United States for peace with vigor, and will hope for a peaceful settlement. But Spain has not respond-errwit- h that promptness which the situation requires, and events have been crowding each upon the other so rapidly that he. realizes the American people have grown impatient to the point ol revolt. 'There probably is no better judge of public opinion than the President of the United States. He has kept in touch with it from the beginning of the Spanish trouble. If his methods have seemed too deliberate, they have been none the less patriotic and insistent. There has been only a single purpose in the President's mind from the start peacably, if possible, but by force, if necessary, Spanish dominion in Cuba must come to an end. "How soon the Spaniards can be brought Jo a realization of their danger in the present crisis can not be told, but to avoid war Spain must right about face and admit the justice of the position which has been assumed by this country.

If it be true that a second torpedo flotilla has departed from Cadiz for the Canaries to meet the Cristobal Colon with Weyler aboard it will be considered a declaration of war by Spain. The President will be requested to give warning to Spain that her flotillas shall be turned back. They must not advance to a position where they can prey upon the vessels of the American navy by surprise. "If Spain fails to heed this warning instantly the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Affairs will report a resolution declaring for armed intervention. "First The independance of Cuba will be recognized. "Second Spain will be ordered to withdraw from the island.

Then as the namesake of Capt. Winslow's famous old ship slowly and gracefully began its first voyage, she dashed tho bottlo of sparkling wlno against tho steel prow and exclaimed in a distinct voice: "I christen theo Kcarsargc." Amid breathless suspense among tho throng of onlookers, the huge hull with streaming pennants and bunting flying in the morning breeze gently travways and leaped ersed the into tho laughing ripples that were ready to welcomo it. Cheer after cheer aroso from the patriotic Americans assembled. Kentuckians, proud of tho new battleship bearing their stnte's name, were here Thursday by the hundred. Gov.

First among the prominent citizens wero tho members of tho stato commission appoint-t- d y tho governor to arrange for Kentucky's part in the christening. Tho christening of tho Kentucky was an exact counterpart of tho former, except that when the critical moment arrived Miss Christine Bradley broko a cut glass bottlo of water from a spring on tho old Lincoln farm, nnd said: "I christen thee Kentucky." Then, as tho vessel started down tho ways, several bottles of old Bourbon whisky were hurled against her sides by Kentuckians who were opposed to the water christening. Water from the spring on tho Jefferson Davis farm in ICcntucky was also smashed on the vessel's sides. Both launchings were successful in every particular. The invited guests and distinguished visitors then boarded the steamer Newport News and proceeded to Old Foint, where tho ship yard officials tendered a magnificent banquet. Covers wero laid for COO persons. It was entirely informal. Among tho toasts responded to were: "Kentucky,"by Gov. Bradley, and "Virginia," by Gov. Taylor. Gov.

Ilubcas, coumelfor tho Cuban Junto, yesand negotiations according to his own terday. Tho developments of the day in the Cuban situation indicate steady progress iu the negotiations between tho government of this country and that of Spain looking to tho maintenance of peace, for the present at least. There Is good authority for saying that Spain's present wish is to secure a cessation of hostilities in Cuba rather than to engage In n war with the United States, and that it is more than probable that tho negotiations between tho government of tho United States nnd the Sagasta ministry will take that turn in the immediate future. The present Spanish ministry has professed a pacific disposition from the beginning, nnd the Indications aro strong now that it will avail itself of the good offices of the United States to the fullest extent that public opinion In Spain will allow In bringing to an end tho hostilities in Cuba. To what extent 'the United States may go In assisting Spain in her present design of securing an armistice is not yet determined, but tho conservative element iu the administration consider tho manifestation of thlsdeslro on tho part ot Spain for even a temporary peace a direct result of President McKinley's diplomacy, and thev nro naturally disposed to contend that tho president hould bo left frco, for the present nt least, to pursue a policy which promises much In tho way of preventing war between this country and Spain, and lso of bringing to a closo tho hostilities in Cuba. Hence there will bo an sffort on tho part of the peacefully in congress, to contlnua to hold that hdy In chcok and to prevent inflammatory utterances there until this dlplomatlo lead may bo exploited. On tho part ot tho administration It is stated that the development of the iltuatton will not require a great length of time, and hence that there will be no extended delay. A policy has beon fully determined upon by the president It Is to bring tho Cuban war to a close. This will be accomplished by pointed Intervention, If necessary, but It Is considered far preferable that the end should oorao as the result of peaceful negotiations than that it should be accompanied by hostile demonstrations on tho part of the United States. Henco the disposition of the president is to glyo Spain a fair opportunity to secure an armlstlco with tho Cubans and to allow her a reasonable time in which to come to an understanding with the insurgents. It can bo stated upon high authority that thero has been no abatement of tho president's intention to seo that tho war is terminated when it is thus closed upon terms that will render tho Cubans practically a free poople. It is not believed that they would accept anything less, nor that Americans would bo satisfied if wo should encour-ig- e a settlement that would not bo acceptable to the Cubans. Washington, March Marcl SQ. prE "Tho Cubans would be thankful (or the Interest shown by this country, but would have to respectfully deollno all such propositions. It Is an absolute loss of tlms for the United States to entertain any negotiations of tho kind with Spain. "Ily an armlstlco Spain would save IIO.COI.OOO a month (or six months. The Spaniards know that the Cubans would not enter Into an armistice, and they desire the United States to offer tho plan that thoir refusal may remove tbo sympathy and support ot tho American people."

God promises to nnswer prayer. "When kocalletn upon Mo, I will nnswer him." Tho promiEo to answer prayer is ono of tho most precious nnd most often repeated of tho promises of God's word. "Ask nnd yo shall receive seek nnd yo shall find, knock and it shall bo opened nnto yon." 4. God promises long llfo. "With long lifo will I satisfy him nnd show him My salvation.

When the Cabinet meeting today was ended Secretary Alger, for himself and the other members, furnished this statement: "So far from there being any difference of opinion among the members of the Cabinet, they are all in hearty accord with the President, and have been, without a single exception. When he read to them yesterday his message on the Maine there was not a dissenting voice nor a suggestion of change. It commanded the approval of every member. How could the President have said more? He gave Congress the report at once, and stated that he had forwarded it to Spain and is awaiting her reply. He must take one step at a time. It may be said further that there need be no fear that he will not take the next. He has not lost a moment in presenting not only the Maine incident, but the whole situation to Spain.

Prlvato William Anthony, of tho United States marine corps, whoso coolness at the .time of the explosion in reporting to Capt Slgsbco has becomo tho theme of admiration throughout tho world, was tho next witness. lie testified that ho had the first watch from eight to twclvo o'clock on tho night of the explosion. Thero was drill that day and It was not necessary to open tho magazines. In response to questions Private Anthony told his story. "I was standing on the main deck Just outsldo tho door on tho starboard sldo. I first noticed a trembling and a buckling of, tho decks and thon this prolonged roar-- not a short report, but a prolonged roar. The awnings wero spread and whero tho wing awning and tho quarterdeck awning should Join thero was a space of at least 18 inches, I looked out and saw an lmmenso sheet of flamo and then I started In to warn tho captain," "Did you notlco any perceptible list to the ship at tho first shock?" "At the first shock, the ship Instantly that is tho quarter deck, whero I was standing dipped forward and to port, just llko that (Indicating), It apparently broke in tho middle, like that (Indicating), and surged forward and then went over to cllson on this Investigation informed u in he had found the ammunition for the sls d Inch magazlno pushed over to the sldo. Ensign Powellson was recalled on tee Uth day, and described the reports mado to him by tho divers which were afterward directly testified to before the board. PoYVcllaon'a Sketches). Ensign Powellson was recalled on Matxh 15 and explained how he got tho data for his sketches, which played such an Important part In the work ot tho court Ho said ho sent divers down at various points alons tiro lino of tho keel as It lay broken and twisted on tho barbor bed. Then he cot In a boat and located tho points on tho keel by a lead line. On the wreck ho established stations at tho main mast, tho port crane, tho smokestack and so forth, and from these bases ho would get the bearings by angles of his lead lino ns It rested on tho keel and other points of tho wrcckago under water. Thus ho was ablo to plat a map of tho wreck both above and below water that was mathematically correct Uy comparing this with theoretical plans ot tho vessel It was posslblo to tell Just how much and In what direction any part of tho Malno had been distorted by tho expiation without relying on underwater estimates by tho divers. "March C," testified Powellson, "1 sent Olsen down to tho piece of keel, the vertical keel, to mako further explorations of tho h magazine. Ho went down to whero the keel beenmo horizontal at framo 23, walked aft about 23 feet and climbed over u lot of wrcckngo consisting ot plates and bulkheads standing upright. Tho'uppcr ends were ragged and ho crawled over them to whero ho thought was a part of a boiler. Uo could not glvo deflnlto details but ho thought It was a bo!4r. "A llttlo after this ho walked otit to port, clear of the ship In tho mud. He was at this tlmo forward of tho break of tho ship at framo 41. Returning about ten feet in ho found wreckage. Ho examined this plate and found It curved as if It wero a part of tho ship. It pointed toward the starboard bow, but It wan so dark ho could not distinguish tho color. All tho edges of tho plating wero rough. The compartment cccmcd to bo about 23 or three feet wide. Forward from this point he found a tank. It was Intact and was sent up. It proved to be a full tank. He found a lot ot broken tanks split up on tho scams and In ono tank at the cover which has holes in It Ho found a lot of mud which was brought up and which looked llko dissolved powder. Thero was any quantity of similar mud In tho samo placo. Tho mud around the tanks was black, that of tho harbor is gray." stir-boarten-Incsix-In- plosion occurred. "I hoard a report," said Mr. Wcrthclmcr. "and at an Interval of anywhere from five to 15 seconds following the first report camo a great explosion. Jn the burst of flame which followed I clearly and plainly sutw tho vessel rise In tho water, apparently threo yards out, then sottlo down before the light of tho explosion went out Tho wholo thing was over no quickly that I could not hazard n guess at tho length of time," Slgmund Ilothichlld, ono of the passengers on tho City ot Washington, was an to the explosion. In company with his friend, Luis Werthelmer, who was aboard the City of Washington on the Rlfiht of February IS as sho Railed Into Ha vana harbor. Uo was on tho stern of tho Washington, which was ai'ern and on tho port side ot the Maine. The vessels wero about ICO yards apart Ilothschlld said ho was naturally Interested In Iho Mnlnc, and had taken n position whero they could get a good look at her. Just ns he had taken his eyes oft her to movo his chair, thero was a sound like a cannon shot In the darkness. He Immediately looked toward the Maine. Ho saw the forward end of the vessel rise, ho thought a couple of feet, out of water. An Instant later camo a second distinct explosion. Tills seemed to burst from the interior of tho vessel forward In a dull flame, ond tho air was Instantly filled with flying debris. The vessel lurched back In the water after tho force ot tho first detona tion that had lifted her bow, and quickly began to sink forward. In less than a mln ute her bow had disappeared. Tho wreck took fire and burned for two hours. There were slngto reports that kept up through all that tlmo as tho fixed ammunition was reached by the flames, but these wero not to be confused with the two big explo sions whlcn had destroyed the Maine, There was no doubt about tho separation of these first two explosions, an Interval or two seoonus nt least separating tnem. Tho section of cement that fell on Iho deck of the Washington was two Inches thick and weighed SO pounds. The engineer ot the Washington took It to Mexico. Pieces of Iron stove In some of tho Washington's boats and delayed tho work of rescue. Otncr wreckage waa hurled clear over the Washington. The beats of tho Spanish warship Alphonso XII., ho said, were prompt to go to the rescuo and were aided by tho searchlights. Kxlru. Cunrda Pnt On. Lieut A. M. Catlln, who waa In charge ot the marlno guard, said that when tho ship went into Havana harbor, two extra night sentinels wero put on, one In tho forccastlo and ono In the poop armed with rifles. They had special Orders to challcngo all boats" which approached tho ship near enough for a chcnenge. Thero was a picked man' on tho port iranirwny.

Ilolman, who performed the duty of navigator and ordnance officer and was In chargo of tho electric plant, testified that all posslblo precaution was taken to prevent accident. Tho tcyn- pcraturo or tho magazines was taken dally. The clcctrlo wires were separated from tho magazlno by a double plating ot glass. Ho noticed nothing at tho tlmo of tho ex plosion to indicate that anything was the matter with tho electric works. Tho examiner rcforrcd to Uolman's largo experience In matters of explosives and askea ins impression or tho wholo affair. Ho said: "My Impression, not yet vcrrlflcd by divers' findings.
