HALIFAX, n. s., July 2S.-The decis-
ion Of the court of inquiry given here to-
day exonerates Capt Henderson and
the officers of the ship Cromartyshire
from all blame in the matter of the Bur
gogne disaster. The report was made by
Capt. w. H. Smith, of the British royal
navy reserves, with whom was associa-
ted in the investigation Capt. Bloomfield
Douglass, royal navy reserves, and Capt.
Lewis Anderson, nautical assessor. Capt
Smith refers briefly to the voyage of the
Cromartyshire UP to the night OF July g.
and dwells at length on the incidents of
the collision as described by the master
and crew of the sailing vessel, and says
then:
AT the time the two ships came into
collision the conclusion was so violent
and the blow inflicted SO heavy that the
sailing vessel was driven apparently
considerably from the course she was
heading, although the number of points
she was caused to deviate is not exactly
stated, but the effect Of tie blow caused
her Roadway to be stopped and made
her manageable The jibboom and
bowsprit of the Cror.artyshire passed
over the side of the steamer and was
broken and torn away from the starboard
side of the sailing ship with all the gear
attached and cast over the lee side. The
foremost mast was also broken and came
DOWN FROM ALCFT
and fell over the same side of the ship.
The collision bulkhead remained intact,
which saved the ship from laundering.
The damage to this vessel sustained
was not known to those on board the
sailing ship and could not be, as the evil
dence shows she passed quickly out OF
eight across the bow to starboard. Only
one man on board the sailing vessel no.
ticed any person on the steamers deck.
This was William Healy, the lookout
man. He says: I saw some people on the
steamers deck forward and two men on
the bridge. The men shouted out in a for
eign language and 1 could not tell what
they said"
Capt. Smiths report sets forth the
measures taken on the Cromartyshire to
discover II there was loss of life on the
steamship, and special attention is drawn
to the international regulations for pre-
venting collisions at sea, which the re-
port says SHOULD have been observed by
these vessels There can be no doubt,
1t is added, that the steamer was sup
piled with an efficient steam whistle, and
that it was sounded at regular intervals.
The officers of the sailing ship and most
of the crew heard it several minutes be-
fore the collision.
Abundant proof Is also produced that
the sailing ship had an efficient horn and
was using it according to regulations
From the statements made by witnesses
In this case there Is an indication that
the sailing ships horn was hard on board
the steamer and was answered by her
with regard to the speed of the
steamer at the time of the collision the
report says, nothing can be absolutely

CAUSES OF FEVER.
Changes of Climate and Method of
Life and the Indifferent Care Of
Themselves, Taken by Soldiers.
Largely Responsible.

Washington, July 28.-The report OF
General Shafter, showing that there
was a total of 3,770 cases of illness in
the army in Cuba, has given the Off
Gals of the war department considera-
BILE concern; but the report heretofore
made that the yellow fever cases were
of a mild type encourages the hope
that the death rate will be small. The
large number of fever cases reported,
1924, shows that not only yellow fever
but typhoid and other kinds, are nu-
merous. Surgeon-General Sternberg
says that it is the history of yellow fe-
yer that it spreads rapidly, and having
cnce started in the camp is sure to in
feet many soldiers. Speaking Of the
other fevers, he said that not only in
Cuba, but in camps In the United
States there had been many cases, and
it was the history of all new armies
that fevers, especially typhoid, became
quite common. This was due to the
change of climate and mode Of life of
the new soldiers. Even where the wa
ter was pure cases would arise. Sol
diers bought and ate many things not
furnished by the commissary, such as
milk, and other things peddled about
the camps. Often these foods caused
sickness. Another feature he men
toned was the Indifferent care which
joined the army. 1t was his belief that
as the army became more seasoned
there would he less sickness

INFERENCES DRAWN

INFEREN7CES DRAWN
from the various statements made in the
evidence. Perhaps her speed will never
be accurately known. From the sudden
manner the steamer first came in sight
upon the port bow of the sailing ship and
her equally quick disappearance in the
fog Immediately after the casually. as
shown by the evidence, the court Is
'r.d 20 tn. onclus }. Ii 1t the Gamer
was proceeding at a very high rate of
speed.
article 20 states that when a steam,
vessel and a sailing vessel are proceeding
in such directions as to involve risk of
collision, the steam vessel shall keep out
of the way of the sailing vessel. For
reasons unknown to the court the steam
er did 'oot keep clear Of the sailing ves-
sell
Article q sayS: Where by reasons of
these rules one of the two vessels Is to
keep out of the way, the other shall keep
her course and speed The evidence upon
this point is of clear and satisfactory
character and concluslvely proves that
the sailing ship under the circumstances
did keep her course and speed according
TO the provisions of the act. The court is
of opinion that tcr master would not
have been justified in departing from the
statutory regulations unless he could
have sheltered himself under the condi-
lions pointed out in Article 81
"All the necessary duties were perform
ed on the sailing ship with proper eau
ton and due diligence was exercised in
her navigation by her captain when the
character Of the fog was taken into con-
cideration. Capt Henderson, of the Gro
martyshire, and the officers of his ship,
are therefore exonerated from blame for
the collision and It's consequences"
Capt Smith in hts report adds:
"rt appears to me that La Bourgogne,
as a mail steamship starting from New
York, was not in the position at the time
of the collision as indicated by the steam
lanes on the pilot chart OF the North At
lantic. 1t also appears to me that
TT rs HIGHLY DESIRABLE
the rules of following the steam lanes
should be made more binding on all
steamers navigating the Atlantic when
plying between New York and European
ports Although in this inquiry I have
:, heen called nRHn arSoxsssd to
Duct Of the master and officers Of La
Bourgogne, or as to the navigation OF
that ship it is evident that mad the
commander, Capt. Deloncle, adopted the
rules laid down his vessel could not have
been in a position indicated by the dis
aster."
The report concludes with the recon-
uendatton that the new lane routes be
established for fast passenger steamers
between America and European ports.

Greenville, w. Va, July 2S.-While
Douglas Smith was riding across a
lonely field this evening he came
across large dog lying by the path,
apparently lifeless. Thinking to in
vestigate he was about to dismount,
when the brute, with flaming eyes and
froth flying from the mouth, sprang at
him. He had no wecpon with which
to kill the animal, so putting spurs to
his horse he attempted to distance it in
fight. This he finally succeeded in
doing, after hot chase Of nearly a
mile. Fortunately, both Mr.. Smith
and his horse escaped unframed. The
animal is still at large, and great I'M
easiness is felt.

WATER SUPPLY ENGINEERING.

The business Of engineering and contracting
for water supply, waterworks oil, gas and
artesian wells. presents field Of industry OF
great importance and one in which New-York
firms naturally take the lead. This city enjoys
peculiar advantages In It's central location,
enabling manufacturers to obtain lower through
freight rates by railroad. steamship or sailing
vessels to far distant poir~, than Is possible
elsewhere
To this fact and to the energy and enterprise
OF the local manufacturers are due the enormous
strides which have been made In the business
The business in this city Is also facilitated by
the fact that the manufacturers themselves are
able to buy here all OF the materials used in the
construction OF their ma ,hines at a much lower
price than they could be obtained elsewhere.
An important feature Of the business Is the
drilling OF artesian wells, those drilled in this
city alone having effected saving OF over
1.OO0OOO year In water rates.
The business of the local firms covers large
territory and is by no means confined to the
city and the State. large share or business
Is done in Illinois, Iowa. Missouri, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania. Connecticut and
Massachusetts,
Among those engaged in the business in this
city Is one firm which Is the Oldest in the coun-
try and which, during period OF twenty-five
years has alone drilled wells amounting In
yaIue to over 81 900 600 and ranging from fifty
TO three thousand feet in depth, some OF which
Rave been drilled In the most difficult geological
formations known. In addition to engaging In
work of this character the New-York firms
manufacture all OF the best tools and machinery
required in the work. the list comprising such
articles as walking beam rigs, Oil ana gas wen
supplies drilling engines. boilers, pumping rigs.
