PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
nix Counmic.'ition to ruiiKrcKH a Itccap.
itulatioii of the Court of In
«|iiiry*H Iteport.
WASH I ,\< ITOX. March 29—The pres
ident sent the following message to
congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
For some time prior to the visit of
the Maine to Havana harbor, our con
sular representatives pointed out the
advantages to tlow from the visit of
national ships to the Cuban waters, in
accustoming the people to the pres
ence of our flag as the symbol of good
will and of our ships in the fiulfillment
of the mission of protection to Ameri
can interests, even though no im
mediate need therefor might exist.
Accordingly, on the 24th of January
last, after conference with the Span
ish minister, in which the renewal of
visits of our war vessels to Spanish
waters was discussed and accepted,
the Peninsular authorities at Madrid
and Havana were advised of the pur
pose of this government to resume
friendly naval visits at Cuban ports,
and that in that view the Maine would
forthwith call at the port of Havana.
This announcement was received by
the Spanish government with appre
ciation of the friendly character of the
visit of the Maine, and with notifica
tion of intention to return the court
esy by sending Spanish ships to the
principal ports of the United States.
Meanwhile the Maine entered the
port of lla\ana on the 25th of Janu
ary, her arrival being marked with no
special incident besides the exchange
LIEUTENANT COMMANDER I'OTTEH.
of customary salutes and ceremonial
visits.
The Maine continued in the harbor
of Havana during the three weeks
following her arrival. Xo appreci
able excitement attended her stay; on
the contrary, a feeling of relief and
confidence followed the resumption <if
the long interrupted friendly inter
course.
So noticeable was this immediate
effect of her visit that the consul gen
eral strongly urged that the presence
of our ships iu Cuban waters should
be kept up by retaining the Maine at
Havana, or in the event of her recall
by sending another vessel there to
take her place.
THE EXPLOSION.
The Horrible Scene* Kollowlntf the Mow
ing l'|» of tli» .Maine.
At 40 minutes past 9 on the even
ing of the 15tli of February, the Maine
was destroyed by an explosion, by
which the entire forward part of the
ship was utterly wrecked. In this
catastrophe two officers and 204 of
her crew perished, those who were
not killed outright by her explosion
being penned between decks by the
tangle of wreckage and drowned by
the immediate sinking of the hull.
Prompt assistance was rendered by
Hie neighboring vessels anchored iu
the harbor, aid being especially given
by the boats of the Spanish cruiser
Alphonso XII. and the Ward line
steamer City of Washington, which
lay not far distant.
The wounded were generously cared
for by the authorities of Havana, the
hospitals being freely opened to them,
while the earliest recovered bodies of
the dead were interred by the muni
cipality in apublie cemetery in the
city. Tribute of grief and sympthy
were offered from all official quarters
of the island.
The appalling calamity fell upon the
people of our country with crushing
force, and for a brief time an intense
excitement prevailed, which in a com
munity less .just and self-controlled
than ours might have led to hasty acta
of blind resentment.
This spirit, hoVever, soon gave way
to the calmer processes of reason and
to the resolve to investigate the facts
and await material proofs before
forming a judgment as to the cause,
tin- responsibility, and. as the fact:;
warranted, the remedy due.
This couroc necessarily recommend
ed itself from the outset to the exe
cutive, for only in the light of a dis
pasisonately ascertained certainty
could it determine the nature and
measure of its fell duty in the mut
ter.
The usual procedure was followed
as in all cases of casualty to a disaster
to national vessels of any maritime
state. A naval court of inquiry was at
once organized, composed of officers
well qualified by rank and practical
experience to discharge the onerous
duty imposed upon them.
Aided by a strong force cf wreckers
and divers, the court proceeded to
make a thorough investigation on 1 li<*
spot, employing every available means
for the impartial and exact determina
tion of the causes of the explosion.
Its operations have been conducted
with the utmost deliberation and
judgment anil, while independently
pursued, no source of information was
TifHrtected and the fullest opportunity
was allowed for a simultaneous inves- \
tigation by tin- Spanish authorities.
The tii ding of tin- court of inquiry
was reached after:-'•'! flays of continu
ous labor on the 2!st of March, and
having been approved on tin* 2'2d by
the commander-in-chief of the United
States naval force on the Xorth At- J
lantic station, was transmitted to the j
executive.
It is herewith laid lieforc the con- !
press, together with the voluminous
testimony taken liefore the court.
A SYNOPSIS.
Wliut tlie lU-port, of ilio Itnard TVihlh
to Show,
Its purport is. in brief, as follows:
"When the .Maine arrived at Havana j
she was conducted by the regular gov
ernment pilot to buoy Xo. 4, to which ;
she was moored in from five and one- j
half to six fathoms of water.
"The state of discipline on board !
and the condition of her magazines,
boilers, coal bunkers and storage
compartments are passed in review. |
with the conclusion that excellent or
der prevailed and that no indication I
of any cause for an internal explosion |
existed in any quarter.
"At X o'clock in the evening of Feb- j
ruary 1.5 everything had been reported i
secure, and nil was quiet.
"At forty minutes past nine o'clock i
the vessel Has suddenly destroyed.
"There were two distinct explosions, j
with a brief interval between them, j
The first lifted the forward part of the :
ship very perceptibly; the second, i
which was more open, prolonged and
of greater volume, is attributed by the
court to partial explosion of two or
more of the forward magazines.
"The evidence of the divers estab- |
lishes that the afterpart of the ship ,
was practically intact, and sank in j
that condition a very few minutes J
after the explosion. The forward j
part was completely demolished."
Upon the evidence of a concurrent j
external cause, the finding of the j
court is as follows:
At frame 17, the outer shell of the j
ship, from a point eleven and one
half feet from the middle line of the
ship and six feet above the keel when
in its normal position, has been forced
up so as to be now about four feet
above the surface of the water, there
fore about ,'i4 feet above where it
would be had the ship sank unin
jured.
The outside bottom plating is bent
into a reversed V-shape, the after |
wing of which, about fifteen feet j
broad and thirty-two feet in length
(frame 17 to frame 25) is doubled
back upon itself against the continua- j
tion of the same plating extending 1
forward.
At frame IS the vertical keel is i
broken in two and the flat keel bent I
into an angle similar to the angle i
formed by the outside bottom plates.
This break is now about six feet be- \
low the surface of the water and j
about thirty feet above its normal
position.
In the opinion of the court, this
effect could have been produced only
by the explosion of a mine situated
under the bottom of the ship at about j
frame 18, anil somewhat on the shore
side of the ship.
The conclusions of the court are:
That the loss of the .Maine was not j
in any respect due to fault or negli- 1
gence on the part of any of the ofTi- |
cers or members of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the
explosion of a submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion of two or i
more of her forward magazines; and
That no evidence has been obtain
able fixing the responsibility for the
destruction of the Maine upon any
person or persons.
I have directed that the finding of
the court of inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi
cated to the government of her ma
jesty, the Queen Regent, and I do not
permit myself to doubt that the sense
of justice of the Spanish nation will
dictate a course of action suggested
by honor and the friendly relations
of the two governments.
It will be the duty of the executive 1
to advise the congress of the results j
ftnd «in the meantime deliberate co: -
sideration is involved.

Learn More Trades.
It may sound a little startling, but j
it is said to be true that more young j
men are learning trades in peniten
tiaries than outside of them, because |
the parents are trying to make clerks,
doctors, lawyers, and even preachers
out of material intended for black
smiths, carpenters, and other trades
for mechanics. The trouble is that
boys are too eager to avoid the labor
of life, and too anxious to follow some
calling that does not soil their hands.
And the parent is responsible for this.
Boys should be taught that there is
more dignity in manuel labor than in
loaling, and more honor in toil than in
independence. The farm and the shop
often yield more profit than the office
or counter.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass

i hours; a sediment or settling indicates

When urin stains linen it is positive
j evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre
! qnent desire to urinate or pain in the
| back, is also a convincing proof that
j the kidneys and bladder are out of
i order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
i Swamp-Root the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
j the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
| every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urin andscald
ing pain in passing it,or bad effects fol
> lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being'compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. It stands the
1 highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.
