The United States naval court of
inquiry is quietly continuing its work
and its members are as secretive as
usual. So far as can be judged there
has been no important developments
recently. Captain Sampson, who has
been exposed to the sun while CQ the
wreck lately, is somewhat ind posed,
but the doctor on the Montgomery
says that he has no apprehension of
a serious illness. Two divers were
examined by the American court of
inquiry yesterday.
Work on the wreckage progresses
very slowly. If any real progress has
been made it is scarcely apparent
from day to day. Still, it is hoped
that when the upper debris has been
removed more bodies will be recov-
cred. Chaplain Chadwick yesterday
identified two bodies buried at the
Colon cemetery some days ago as
those of Joseph I Gordon and John
