Maine Blown Up from Outside.
So says the naval board that
has made a thorough examina-
tion of the wreck. Their theory
is that it was from a mine and
not a torpedo. The explosion of
the mine resulted in igniting and
exploding the contents of a six
inch reserve magazine ;which
contained a large quantity of
powder. No explanation is made
as to how the Maine came to be
anchored over a mine or how the
mine could be placed there after
the ship was anchored.

veterinary business to the Gracy
