A BASELEsS REPORT.
Strange RumOr at Newport News of
an Explosion on the Duchcsse.

Strange RumOr at Newport News of
an Explosion on the Duchesse.
In some inexplicable manner the rumor
seems to have been circulated in Newport
News yesterday that several men were
killed by an explosion On the Plant steamer
La Grande Duchesse
The following inquiry came over the
Associated Press wire from Newport News
last night: 1T is rumored several men
were killed by an explosion on steamer
Grande Duchesse."
The report seems to have been circu-
lated some hours behind time, since the
Grande Duchesse sailed Wednesday after
noon, or considerably more than twenty
four hours before the inquiry was made
How such a rumor could have become
current under the circumstances, it is i'm
possible to conceive, except that it orig
mated in some idle brain with an apti-
tude for fakes, that did not take the trou-
BILE to find out where the Duchesse was.
NO such thing happened, of course up
to the time the Duchesse left Savannah
for New York, and il would not have been
possible TO get any such report into New
port News from the high seas within 50
brief a time. The Duchesse is due to ar
rive in New York about o'clock this af-
ternOOn
