POWELSON'S TESTIMONY.
Ensign W. V. N. Powelson, who was
on tho Maine every day nnd 'luring;
much of the diving, said the forward
part of tho uh'lp forward of the after
fimoke stack had been to all nppear
ancce completely destroyed. Ho told
In detail the condition of the wreck
nnd said tho protective deck under tho
conning tower supports was bent in
two directions, tho plates qnd star
board side being bent up and on tho
ntarboard side bent clown. The beam
.supporting; tho 'protective deck to port
of the midship lino was bent up to
starboard of tho midship line. Ai
Bratlng was found on the poop awn
ing Just forunrcl of the after search
light. A piece of side plate was bent out
ward, and the forward end bent up
ward and folded backward upon itself.
Near hits ho said were pieces of red
shellacked planks on which was bolted
n. composition track two Inches wldo
nnd an inch thick.
Continuing, he said tho end of the
ship where the explosion stemed to
have occurred was pushed from port to
starboard from five to ten dewrees.
Divers reported to him that ten inch
shells were found in .tho shell room
regularly arranged. Gunner Morgan
while working on tho bottom, fell into
a holo on the port side and went down
in the mud. Ho also told witness that
as far as ho could Judge, everything
seemed to be bent upward In the vicin
ity of this hole. He also reported that
the plates seemed to have been pushed
over the starboard and bent down.
Ensign Powelson then told of a bad
ly dented six-Inch powder tantf which
was found, also a ten-inch tank bat
tered out of shape. The starboard tur
ret, he said, had not been found. From
reports received to that time ho said
"tho Impression produced upon me Is
that an explosion took place well to
port of the midship line and at a point
In the length about opposite tho con
ning tower."
He then cited a number of instances
where parts of the ship had taken a
direction from port to starboard. The
port side of the protective deck was
covered with a greasy deposit and the
starboard side was comparatively free
of It, and what witness saw would in
dicate that tho pressure lifted the deck
upon the port side, and the starboard
side held fast and bent that deck down
v1rd. He thought the ship on the port
slue was entirely gone opposite a point
he indicated on a drawing.
FINpiNG OF PLATES.
Ensign Powelson also gave the court
valuable information relating to his
finding the bottom plates of the Maine
on the upper deck. The finding of these
plates on top of the wreck, clear above
water, was among the first and most
important points of evidence clearly
disproving the possibility of nn internal
explosion. Mr. Powelson minutely de
scribed the plates and said they must
have been blown up thirty-eight or
thirty-nine feet to reach the position
they were In. Beside the bottom plates,
Powelson found some pipes from the
bottom compartment lodged in tho
angle of the bottom plates that pro
truded above tho water. The berth
deck over this bottom compartment
was also on top of the wreck and twen
ty feet forward of the plates, while tho
section of the main deck had disap
peared. The diver who had been work
ing for Powelson on this Investigation
Informed him he had found the am
munition for the six-Inch magazine
pushed over to the starboard side.
On the elxth day of the Inquiry, Mr.
Powelson detailed the results of an ex
amination made by Diver Olsen, of the
ship's keel and other points below. He
thought the explosion occurred on the
port side somewhere about frame 18,
( -center of impact. Tho ship yielded at
17 and also at IB, but It was pretty
hard, to say exactly where the Impact
came. Frame 15 was blown In.
"How do you account for the Im
mediate damage done abreast of the
reserve magazine where there Is noth
ing left, whereas between frames 1G
and 18 you have found damaged
plates," Mr. Powelson was asked.
"My idea," he eald, "Is that after
the ship was raised up at frame 18
the magazines, one or all of them, af
ter that were exploded, for some pow
der tanks that I have seen I think
were exploded while others I have seen
were not exploded. I have seen a six
Inch tank that was very little ripped
open, and I saw one thla morning that
had been burst open and flattened out,
with evidences of burnt powder on it.
I saw one ten-inch tank that was
scarcely battered at all, and only
threads of It gone. I also saw ten
Inch tanks with the packing which
looked like excelsior, unburnt, so that
In my opinion some, but not all of
the ten-inch and six-inch charges, were
exploded."
Further testimony was elicited from
Mr. Powelson regarding examinations
made of the port side by Divers Rund
qulst and Schluter, all of which Indi
cates that the plates were all bent
Inward as if tho force was from tho
outside.
BRAVE MARINE'S STORY.
Private William Anthony, marine
corps, whose calmness at the time of
the explosion in reporting to Captain
Slgsbee has become the theme of ad
miration throughout the world, In re
sponse to questions, told his story. He
wna standing on the main deck out
side tho door on tho stni board side.
He first noticed a trembling of the
aecks and then a wave. He saw an
immense sheet of flame and said:
"It must have been forward of the
superstructure. I could see the debris
going up with it. I do not know what
it was, but I saw fire brands going
m
"Was It on the port or starboard
side?"
"It looked more to port than it did
to starboard. It looked like It covered
the whole ship. It was an immense
glare that Illuminated tho whole heav
ens "for tho moment, as much as I
could see for the awnings."
"Did you see any water with it?"
"I did not notice that, sir. I start
ed In the cabin at once to warn the
casmin."
This closed the brave marine's testi
mony. Louis "Werthelmer, a tobacco dealer,
of New York, who was a passenger on
the ateamer City of Washington, in
Havana harbor tho night of tho blow
ing vp of tho Maine, tho moment of
thn explosion he was in the Btern of
the Washington, and was looking di
rectly at the battleship when tho cx
plcrlon occurred.

tnflmer, "and at an interval of any
where from five to fifteen seconds fol
lowing tho first report came a great
e ploMon. In the burst of name, which
followed, I clearly and plainly aw the
vessel rise in the water, apparently
three yards out, then settle down be
fore tho light of the explosion went
out. The whole thing was over so
quickly that I could not hazard a guess
at the length of time.
Mr. Werthelmer's testimony was cor
roborated by Slgmond Rothchlld, also a
passenger on the City of Washington.
After the vessel rose in the water came
a second explosion.
Captain Frank Stevens and First Of
ficers George Cornell, of the City of
Washington, also corroborated the pre
vious witnesses.
CHAPLAIN CHIDWICK'S STORY.
Chaplain John P. Chldwlck, of the
Maine, after the explosion rushed on
deck. After trying to cheer up the men
who were crying out in the water for
help he was ordered by Lieutenant
Jungen to go in the boat. He rowed
around the ship and picked up one
man. Witness said he remembered
only one shock.
Naval Constructor J. B. Hoover was
very technical and his testimony
summed up was that the bottom plates
of the Bhlp at the point of explosion,
the berth decks over them and the pro
tected deck had been turned over and
forward, revolving through an angle of
90 degrees. He Identified three portions
of the wreck forward of the middle
superstructure. These were all on the
port side of the original keel, but cant
ed to starboard and all of them the
bottom of the ship and protective deck
and the berth deck show above water
at present. The forward Lieutenant G.
P. Blow was the officer of the day on
the day of the explosion and received
tho leports at 8 p. m. He said the
usual reports were made that the lights,
fires and everything were secure. He
said he had perfect confidence in the
reports of his men. He gave a vivid
description of the scenes following the
explosion.
Lieutenant Commander Walnwright,
Lieutenants Catlln, Blandln and Jun
gen nnd Chief Engineer Charles P.
Howell, Past Assistant Engineer Bow
ers and Assistant Engineer Morris tes
tified ns precautions taken to avoid
war. The magazines, coal bunkers,
torpedo heads, gun cotton and all in
flammable and explosives aboard were
Inspected as they should be and all had
been reported in proper condition prior
to the explosion.
Lieutenant Holman testified in a
similar manner. The examiner referred
to Holman's large experience In mat
ters of explosives and asked his Im
pression of the whole affair. He said:
"My Impression, not yet verified by
divers findings, Is that a very heavy
mlno went off under the Maine's bot
tom. The noise produced by a heavy
mine would be great In itself and add
ing to the second explosion would
make the two practically one and the
samo explosion.
THE GUNNERS AND DIVERS.
Chief Gunner's Mato Olsen, Gunner's
Mates Smith and Rundquist and Chief
Gunner's Mato Morgan, who were the
divers In charge of the work of exam
ining the wreck, testified In tho main
as did Ensign Powelson.
The third time Smith wna down lm
landed In tho ten Inch' shell room and
.tried to get forward to the ten inch
magazine nut could mako little head
way as everything seemed to hn Mntvn
down in that direction. He hern found

On his fourth trip down he slip down
tho outside of tho ship by tho port
crane. The skin of the ship, he said,
is in gocd condition till you come to the
jagged opening leading Into tho six
inch shell room before mentioned.
Here tho steel engine was blown In.
Lieutenant Blow and Jungen indi
cated that 'the direction of the wreck
age was from port to starboard. Pri
vate Edward McKay testified that he
was on watch on the starboard side at
tho time of 'the explosion. He was at
tho time looking over the side of the
ship to see If there were anv boats
around. "There did not seem to be a
ripple on the water," he said, "there
was not a boat in sight I did not have
to challenge a boat that night. All at
once, as r was looking over, there
came a flash of fire which hit me In the
face and knocked me almost half way
acioss the deck. Tho explosion came
Immediately afterwards. . There was
but one explosion, he said, it came
nfter the first shock. Explaining far
ther, McKay said the ship seemed to
rlso up In tho water and tip over to
the port side.

Commander Converse, In his testi
mony, expressed the opinion that the
bending of the plates on the bottom of
the Maine could be produced by the
explosion of a submarine mine con
taining a largo amount of the lower
explosives gunpowder or similar not
In contact with th'o ship but some dis
tance below It, perhaps on tho bottom.
He said that ho had never In his ex
perience seen any Interior explosion
that was possible to produce the effect
shown upon the Maine. He thought
that necessarily there must have been
nn underwater mine to produce these
explosions.
