WASHINGTON. Deo. 15. President Taft
today sent to congress brief formal
message transmitting the full text of the
report of the investigating board which
found that the battleship Main was
blown up in Havana harbor by an exter
nal explosion.
The board In Its report emphasised the
fact that it found what Is called the port
starboard strake a continuous line of
planking running from stem to stern-
was "dished upwards as much as timmv.
four Inches from & straight line," that
another strake, technically called "C."
was displaced "upwards and Inwards' for
100 square feet." and that part of the
Inner bottom planking was "displaced up
wards" nnd left approximately six fcot
above the original position.
The destruction wrought by the two ex
plosions "if of distinctly different charac
ter" was found to be much more exten
sive than had been anticipated. Tho re
port, ' In technical terms, described how
plates were crumpled, how some por
tions of what had once been a. great
battleship wore turned Inside out and
how parts of the bottom works cenerallv
were displaced.
Debris Widely Scattered.
"The debris of one-pounders, six-pound-
ers, six-inch and ten-Inch ammunition
was found widely scattered through the
wreck," the report said. "The location
of much of this material bore iiim
tlon to. its original stowage condition.
Powder tanks were torn asunder nr
crushed and flattened.
"The condition of the vet iata 1 trsamt rA
flat keel at frame 18 was ascribed by the
court of inquiry of 1898 rth v.o,
war with Spain that followed the blowing
up of the Maine) to the) direct effect of
an explosion exterior to the ship in that
vicinity."
Because of Its better
detailed examination of thla wreckage,
now fully exposed, the present board con
cluded that the external
Ignited the magazines, was not in the
vicinity of this frame 18.
The protective deck and hull of the

ship," the report said, "formed a closed
chamber in which the gases wore gen
erated and partly expanded before rup
ture." The bow portion of the Maine ras found,
pointed nose downward In the mud, to
port and lying on Its starboard side. The
upper part of that portion of the ship
in the vicinity of the forward magazines
was swept away. Onlv about nne.half nr
the bottom was left in position.
The Maine explosion occurred almost
fourteen years ago. In that disn&ter twn
officers and 26i ot Its crew perished.
