IT is impossible for a loyal Ameri-
can to stand anywhere in or
about Havana harbor and look
out on the tower of tho Maine and
tho twisted steel that once formed
her hull and not feel a sense of indig-
nation and a conviction that what fol-
lowed was a just retribution for so
dastardly an act, if tho Spaniards ac-
tually committed the deed.
One feels a kind of personal inter-
est in the vessel that carried the flag
for years, that figured in the national I
drama so tragically, that must forever j
appear in the annals of our country, j
Whether or not the Spaniards were j
guilty of the vessel's destruetlon is ex- !

After their long neglect the bodies
of the unfortunate seamen, who went
to their death on that February night
13 years ago, will find a resting place
in the Arlington National cemetery
under the stump of the fighting mast
which now thrusts its top above the
waters of Havana bay. The decencies
will thus be satisfied. Hut it is not
sentiment alone which is directing the
activities of the government engi-
neers. If It were only that their prob-
lem would be immensely simplified.
The cause of the explosion remains
unknown; in the wreck itself the en-
gineers hope to find evidence which
will explain the mystery. All their

The Cuban government, is assisting
the United States in this work most
cordially. A wharf of sufficient size,
conveniently located in Casa Blanca
1>ist beneath the walls of the Cabana
fortress, has been set aside for th*
work. To place the cylinders, ordin
ary round piles are driven at the axis
of each. Around this central pile is
floated a templet of wood, made in
sections for ease of removal Tho
sheet piles are shipped in lengths of
25, 35. 40 and 60 feet, and are bored
and provided with fish plates and
bolts for assembling into lengths of
75 feet. The piles for a complete cyl-
inder are set up around a templet and
then driven to tho required depth.
