HOLE IN HER BOTTOM.
Massachusetts Ran Aground in New York
Harbor.

New York, December l0-The battle
ship Massachusetts, soon after leaving the
New York navy yard today for Hampton
Roads, struck on obstruction near Gov
ernor's Island and three of her compart-
Inents were torn open. She was taken
back to the navy yard at once.
Pilot Bell, who was taking the Massa-
chusetts out, said the tide was unusually
low and that the Massachusetts while
on her way to the Toinpkinsyille anchor
age, struck ths bottom. She did not, he
said, run on Diamond reef, which is of
Governors Island. Further than this
Bell refused to talk. No dry docA is ready
for the battleship' s..reception. but arrange
ments to this end will be accelerated.
The injured vessel has a slight list to
port. She has sunk forward about ten
inches above her water line. At her
stern about ten inches of the water line
is above water. The pumps are kept go.
ing constantly and it was said that there
was about four feet Of water in five OF
her compartments. Capt. Ludlow has
forwarded preliminary report to Wash
ington. The battleship is in no danger
Of capsizing, even if she sinks further.
In the latter case, she would rest upon
her bottom.
WASHINGTON'S OPINION.
Washington, December 10.-The con.
structors are of the opinion that the acct
dent was not very severe or. extensive.
Thav helieye the puuctures IN the bottom
were confined to the outer skin and did
not penetrate the inner double bottom.
The regulations require a court of inquiry
into such cases and it is presumed thai
one will be ordered on the application
of Capt Ludlow just as soon as the ex-
amination in dry dock reveals the extent
of the damage. e
