Enquiry.

WASHINGTON. November 9-The
Navy Department is notified that the
battleship Texas IS resting on the mud
alongside the cookbook at the Brooklyn
navy-yards. with both engine-rooms and
COMMITMENTS flooded. one Of her sea-
cocks gave way this morning, and the
vessel settled on the bottom at once En-
rineer Higgins. Who was In one Of the
ongine-roOms. had a narrow escape.
The department this afternoon received
the following from Commodore Sicard,
commandaut Of the Brooklyn navy-yard:
"A section Of Texas starboard main
injection pipe was removed for repairs.
ana the pipe TO seward was planked off
lust inside Of main injection valve just
above d0Or-patcs. This morning about 9
O'Clock the yoke through which the stem
TO the injection valve passed broke under
pressure Of the water outside. and the
clearwater filed the starboard-engine COM
nartment. and thence leaked through the
closed watertight doors and gradually
filled the port engine compartment. ship
not flooded In other parts. The ship set
tied down upon the soft bottom heading
south and now lies easily at high water
i'm twenty-five feet of water port side,
and twenty-nine feet starboard. secured TO
cob-doCk. just south Of Nermonts stern,
and listed about six degrees 10 starboard.
Two tugs of the Chapman Wrecking Com
panv are alongside pumping. and a diver
is down In starboard engine-room en-
deavoring 20 stop the leak. Narkeeta in
attendance. Nina's boilers repairing, 50
they cannot be used. Dry Dock No. ? IS
being prepared 10 receive the Texas as
soon as leak ic stopped. Further details
will be wired as soon as obtainable.
fslgneO "SICARD"
As the workmen had left the vessel all
right Saturday the accident early this
morning before work was resumed indi-
Gates that the yoke gave way TO the pres
sure that had been upon It for about
thirty-six hours. The reference 10 the,
naval tugs Narkeeta and Nina Is taken
as explaining why outside tugs were called
upcn in the emergency
In another telegram Commodore Sicard
asked that a court of inquiry into the ac-
cident be ordered. This was done by Sec
rotary Herbert, who made the following
detail for the court: Commodore j. n.
Miller. now commandant Of the Boston
navy-yard: Chief-Engineer w. w. Dun
gan. the senior officer of his corps, now
inspector OF machinery at Cramps, and
