speaking about the Maine explosion yester-
Gay to a reporter for the Baltimore Sun.
said: The catastrophe reminds me very
much Of the battle ship Aquidaban. a ship
almost the same size as the Maine, which
was sunk on April IA. 1894, during the re-
volt in Brazil.
The Aquidaban was a double turret.
twin-screw ship, built in 1885. with citadal
and turret ar-nor 10 inches thick, good for
seven knots, and with a compliment OF
355 men. Her proportions were very much
like the Names. She was sunk in Port Bel
10 bay by a torpedo charged with 125
pounds of gun cotton.
"The attack was made at night. The
torpedo struck with terrific force between
frames Nos. 6 and Z. The injuries extend
ed from the bow to the twelfth frame and
below the protective deck All the frames
on this side were crushed inward, denoting
an external explosion. The water-tight
bulkhead at the sixth frame was entirely
carried away, as were the frames OF the
water-tight bulkhead at the twelfth frame.
which remained intact, with door closed.
and only two forward compartments were
flooded. Directly on the other side OF the
ship from where the torpedo struck. about
SEVEN was q hole two feet in diameter the
ragged edges with their fanges outward
and plates badly twisted. The hole made
by the striking of the torpedo / can easily
account for, but the hole on the other side

FATALLY BURNED.
An Infant, Ten Months Old. Meet.
Horrible Death,

Horrible Death.
Little Julia Clemenson, ten months old
the daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. George w,
Clemenson of 1O45 31st street. was fatally
burned yesterday afternoon, death result
ing several hours later, after the greatest
of suffering.
The parents Of the child are hard-work-
ing people, and have two other children,
the Oldest of which is Emma, aged about
nVe years, and Eddie. aged about two The
1amlly lives on the second floor Of the
house, and all of the children were in the
room together yesterday. The mother was
ironing, and as soon as she had finished
her work she left the room to visit store
next door to purchase some articles for the
family supper. 1t was between 2:3O and 2
o'clock when she left the room The baby.
Julia, was left on the floor near a safe
which Is as far as possible from the stove.
the room being quite large. The other
children were playing about the room The
mother was not absent a minute, she said
this morning to Star reporter, and when
odor of something burning Immediately
she discovered the baby where it had been
left enveloped in flames. Calling upon Mrs
Seweil. who occupies the lower part Of tha
building. the mother quickly extinguished
life.
How the child's dress caught fire was a
mystery until pieces Of burnt paper were
discovered on the floor. The two-year-old
child, Eddie. had evidently picked up a
piece Of newspaper. lighted It at the fire
and started to play with it. He must have
waved the fire too close to the infant and
Its clothes become ignited. The boy was
too young to comprehend the seriousness
Of the situation, and the oldest girl was
looking out the front window at the time
The infant was badly burned on the left
side. from the feet up to the head, and on
the face, and the body over the heart and
stomach was in a frightful condition DIR.
Suter was summoned and prescribed for
the relief of the sufferer, but at o'clock in
the evening the child died. The funeral
will be held tomorrow evening from the
family residence
