A torpedo theory is deemed untenable as officials plan to raise the wreck, with private wrecking firms likely to handle the operation estimated at two hundred thousand dollars. Simultaneously, White House and Havana reports show quiet on the Maine question as flags fly at half mast and the public awaits official findings.
