Coiupl«*ing the Work uf lie.t rurt lull. Nummary of the Report. WASHINGTON, March 28.—'The Associated Prer.s presents herewith a complete abstract of the court of in quiry which Investigated the wreck ing of the battleship Maine. This ab stract Is made from the report itself, access to which was obtained despite official secrecy unparelleled In the handling of offli ial papers. The report is made up of eight parts, as follows: First: The court finds that at the time of the explosion the battleship Maine was lying in five and one-half to six fathoms of water. Second. The discipline aboard the ship was excellent, everything stow ed according to orders - ammunition, guns, stores, etc. The temperature of the magazine at 8 p. ni. was normal, except in the after ten-inch magazine, and that did not explode The explosion occurred at 0 iO o'clock on the evening of February 1 o. There were two explosions, with a very short interval between them. The ship lifted on the first explosion. Fourth. The court can find no defi nite opinion of the condition of the wreck from the divers' evidence. Fifth. The technical details of wreckage from which the court ad duces that a mine was exploded under ,he ship on the port side •Sixth. The explosion was due to no fault of those on board. Seventh. Opinion of the rourt stat ing that the mine caused the explos ion of two magazines. Klrhth. The court declares that ft cannot find evidence to fix responsi bility. The repor' is unanimous and is signed by all members of the court. It does not refer to the existence or non except In the specific Aniline that a mine was exploded under the ship, nnd the opinion that the explosion of the two magazines was caused bv the explosion of a mine. The report as a whole is a fo-mal dispassionate reel tat of fa ts*nd'<-,... the stamp of that strict officialism which marks naval procedure. It Is brief, not exceeding l.M)0 words, and among the eight parts, goes to the greati-st length under 'he second heading, which deals with the disci pline ard order of the shir. This the court specifies with extreme minute ness, the least detail of the satisfac tory condition of everything i n board being given. The normal temperature of the large forward magazines at S o'clock -only an hour and fortv minutes before the explosion—disposes of the nuestion of accidental combustion within ties magazines. While the court holds that these magazines did not explodi front Internal causes, they nevertheless are of the oinion that the.explosion of a mine under the port ride of the ship caused the explosion of the two maga zines. This will explain the remarka able destruction wrought, ttie- explo sion thus being shown to have com bined the force of a mine without and two magazines within. The two explosions, which the court finds to have occurred, with a very short interval between them, are an additional detail showing that two forces operated in causing the destruc tion. The finding that t..e ship lifted on the first explosion indicates i n extern al source and one of tremendous pow er to bo able to lift a battleship of thousands of tons The character of the wreckage, reel - nicalty described in the fltt.h part, from which the court adduces that a mine was exploded under the ship on thei port side, sustains the view tak'-n by some experts shortly after that th< forte of the explosion was exert"d from port to starboard. Tne feature of the report of deepest Interest to the navy is the complete exoneration of (’main Sigsbee and . il \ on hoard, contain' d in the second find ing setting fortli the nerfeet ordi r mi l discipline prevailing on the ship, and more directly stated in the sixth find ing. which declares the disaster to be due to no fault <>f those on hoard The inability of the court to find ev idence to fix responsibility, as stated i in tiie eightn pari, makes the report so guarded iu the expression of luanic that neither Spain nor the Spanish j are mentioned throughout.

Omaha dispatch: A deep feeling of uneasiness pervade* labor circle* here, especially railroad labor, on ac count of the situation on the I’nton Pacific. The re has been no announce ment or even a hint of any reduction In pay of the- men employed by the overland route, and yet the men are very apprehensive. The well defined policy of retrenchment that has been established by President Hurt must I sooner or later reach the mi n on the trains, and then there would he trou j hie. The present scale on the I'nlon Pacific Is somewhat higher than on the Hurliugton and also Is graded ac cording to the locality. An effort at a reduction was made ('tiring the first week of the receiver, .lodge Dundy of this district signed the order making a 10 per cent, cut of all the men In the operating depart ment. 'I'hiB was resisted by the men a. d resulted lit the hearing before a ci tnmlsodon appointed by Judge f'ald v II and a final review of the latter I- Judge Caldwell himself. The court at that time declined to allow the v. age scale to be interfered with. S' nee the road has passed out of the It. nda of the receivers and Into new i vnership the men feel that, the effort, to reduce the pay will lie renewed. This was the inside reason for the .nt meeting of all brotherhoods at North Plattp during the wee!;. At this meeting the situation was gone, over thoroughly. The men claim to l>o in :i f inn In rt-wfut nnv ro'ltt/ linn Chief Arthur and Chief Sargent are in Omaha tonight, hut havt avoided reporters. He fore leaving North I iatte I st night they expressed themselves as well satisfied with the outlook. At T'nlon Pacific headquarters it Is im possible to get any definite Informa tion. President Hurt keeps his own counsel and what his plans a»e he alone knows. Other officials admit the probability of an order reducing the wages along the line, but know noth ‘ug definite concerning It The fact 'hat retrenchment has set in in all other departments is the strongest reason for thinking It roust set in in the operating department. About R "00 men will he affer ted l>v the or der if It is made as sweeping as the one issued by Judge Dundy. I'ncle Sum Defruurfiul In u Woman.

About six months after her divorce Ruth died, and a short time thereafter I.ydia made application for a pension as his widow. It was grant ed In 1882, and since that time she has lined her pockets with about *600 of Cncle Sam's good coin as a depen dent widow of her divorced husband. Today she was bound over to the fed etal court for trial for having fraudu lently drawn a pension, her bond be hu fixed at tin- sum of *500. Rh» did not deny any of the above facts, but pleaded that she was advised bv her friends to secure the pension, and that she never knew that as the divorced j wife of a soldier she v-as not entitled | to a pension, although the papers which she was required to sign to se cure her pension made special inquiry on that subject. It is hinled that some of those w ho advised her may be i arrested. Tlie Tihhle* <»««'.
