5 .

6 A letter from Spanish Minister De Lome in which he made negative comments about Pres. McKinley was stolen by Cuban agents and sent to American newspapers. Headline started to appear in American Newspapers such as: Is the U.S. preparing for War De Lome Letter

7 Other Causes 1. US dislike of Spanish Imperialism and presence in Western Hemisphere 2. McKinley political pressure if he wants to maintain control in next election 3. Cuba accuses US government and/or US individuals supplying weapons to rebels a. Individuals in the South were supplying weapons.

18 What Happened to the U.S.S.Maine 1898 investigation. -large mine

19 1911 investigation 1. smaller mine a. lucky spot b. set off magazine i. outer plate of ship blown in (Click above for larger image) AME/National Geographic The 1911 investigation used the above photo to bolster its case that a mine caused the Maine to sink. The upturned outer bottom plating seemed to be the tell-tale evidence. Admiral Rickover's study concluded, however, that the plating "was bent inward by the dynamic effects of the magazine explosion and the sinking of the ship." Ironically, the recent AME study returned to the same photo to reach its conclusion that a mine probably caused the initial explosion that eventually sank the ship.

20 1976 investigation Navy discovered a design flaw in Maine class BB. Coal storage next to gunpowder and ammo magazine. Coal fire spontaneously combust. Fire on New York, and Cincinnati. 2. Study blamed a coal firetemps in coal storage as high as 645 degrees.
