New York, Feb. 25.—A dispatch
to The Herald from Havana says:
There is no longer anv reason to
doubt that the explosion which
wrecked the Maim* camo from
underneath the vessel and that her
mft g**iu«s had nothing to f*o with
the initial exploaiou and played a
much smaller part in the general
disaster than was at first su 'posf'd.
The evidence that hae aei v.»d to
convince the board was obtained
by Ensign Powelson, an olioer at
tached to the Fern,
Mr. Powelson was formerly in
the construction corpe anti took a
two yeara’ special course in the
Glasgow school of uav&l srohitec-
ture. He it therefore a competent
witness. What he discovered was
that the forward part of the keel
of the Maine, with its rihe ami
plates was stove upward so far
that parts of the shattered double
bottom show out of water i a places
and sections of the green painted
outer hull are visible.
Conoborativa of evidence given
by Ensign Powelson and of equal
significance and importance is the

Seven of the Uuks have been
found by the divers, all in cruahed
and shapeless masses. It is itn
portant to note that in the six
inch and ten-inch tanks recovered
the exceleior used for packing the
chargee shows uo injury from
flame or gases. .
The powder stowed in the six
inch reaevoir magaxine wa« for sa-
uting purposes only. The maga
zine itself appears to have keen
utterly destroyed, only a few traces
being left to show the point where
it was once located.
The under part of the ten-inch
magazine it wholly inaccessible to
divera. In the upper part ia
tightly wedged a mass of powder
cylinders, too heavy for diver* to
extricate, but apparently contain
ing exploded charges of powder.
The Dow torpedo tube of the
Maine has been located in the
wreck. It lies in the debris for
ward submerged several fset under
water.
The hull is now embedded in

arm pits in mud and have the
greatest difficulty in proet eating
their work. Those engaged in the
forward part of the ship are under
