Saturday. has returned with her'bunk.
ers on fire. The presence of fire was
= discovered Monday near the main hold
which was at once flooded with 50tons
of water, and a gang Of men was put
to work removing the ammunition. OF
which the ship carried large supply.
All the officers and soldiers who were
well enough to do 50 worked nard TO
extinguish the flames. Every means
available is now being employed 10 OK
t:nguish the fire. and 1t is hoped she
will be able to leave here again in two
or three days time.
The officers and passengers declare
that the GOODNESS displayed by the men
was wonderful. They all knew that the
ship was carrying a large consignment
of ammunition, but they worked and
behaved with as much self possession
as though on parade.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
the Obdam's captain summoned the
military officers and consulted with
them as to the best course. All were
anxious to continue on the voyage, but
they decided that the danger of an eX-
Dlosion was too great Nothing re-
mained but to return to Santiago. Cap
tain Baker. captain of the port here,
Immediately set 200 men to work at the
pumps and soon began to get the fire
under control.
Spontaneous combustion is believed
to have been the cause. Naval officers
here condemn the practice of carrying
large quantities of ammunition on ships
that are bearing sick troops, and they
also consider the use of small coal
mostly dust-as ballast dangerous.
Stress of business will delay General
Wood leaving for Manzanillo, but he
will leave probably before the end Of
the week. During his absence he will
be represented by Colonel Willy, lieu
tenant governor.
Naval Constructor Hobson is taking
the guns of the ViZcaya to Guantana-
mo, after which he will return to the
scene Of the wreck and endeavOr to
raise the vessel. He thinks it prob
able that he will succeed.
A local undertaken will take to New
York the remains of Lieutenant Wikoff
and Private Skinner.
