RAISING THE MAINE.
NO FUNDS TO COMPLETE THE WORK. A mrssago roocived in Sydney from Havana (by outside cablo service) last wcolv says:— Tho failure of Congress to vote additional funds for the work has necessitated a suspension of the operations for raising the sunken warship Maine. For the same reason th« funeral over (lie remains recovered from the wreck and the erection of one of the vessel's masts in Arlington cemetery, as a memorial, will nlso have to be iiastponed. The cofferdam that was built round tho ship will be allowed to fill, when all tho top hamper has been cut down, and tho after-part of the ship has been bulkheaded with a view to her refloating later oil. It will be rcmemliered that the partial raising of tho warship disclosed tho fact that the explosion which caused her to sink at her moorings iu Havana harbour came from within, not from a mine, as w?.s supposed at and after the tinio of tho catastrophe.
