Transport Ingalls, Slips OF the
Blocks.
One Man Killed and Others We're
Badly Injured.
THIRTY MEN IN HOLD.
The Fate Of These Has Not Yet
Been Ascertained.
The Dock Where she Lay Sank
in so Feet of Water.

New York. June 15.-While the United
States transport Ingalls, was in the bal
ance dry dock at the Erie basin, South
Brooklyn. where she was about to I'M
dergo extensive repairs, she suddenly
slipped from the blocks and capsized.
one man is known to have been killed
and many injured
There were about 2s0 carpenters, ma
chinists and other laborers at work on
the vessel and dock at the time. It IS
supposed that the vessel was thrown
from an even keel by ballast improp-
eriy placed, or by the shifting Of the
blocks on which she rested. causing her
to list to starboard, driving the sheer
ing beams through the rotten walls of
the old floating dry dock in which she
was Graded. Besides the mechanics
and other w0rkmen who crowded the
vessel and dock, preparing her for
voyage to Manila. about thirty Italian
labOrers are supposed to have been in
the-hold of the ship, employed in shift
ing pig iron ballast While the work
men were trying to escape, the dock
itself. overbalanced by the weight of
the ship, turned ON its side and sank IN
fifty feet of water. "A number of the
men We're borne down into the water
and damned under and beneath the
wreckage which rose TO the surface.
How many We're caught has not been
learned.
Martin Anderson, a painter, was
caught under the descending side of the
ship and killed outright Others were
dragged out of the water badly injured
or half drowned. and hurried to the
hospitals. Added to the horrors was
the uncertainty of the fate of the men
In the vessels hold. Some managed
to get to the deck and leaped into the
water as the vessel was sinking, but II
is feared that the majority were less
fortunate.
The ingalls, went into dry dock at
1870 yesterday morning, and about
SIS. coo was to have been expended on her
repairs. The lock in which she was
placed was 4 very old one, having been
constructed over fifty years ago. An
effort was made to close the gate at
the time of the accident, but it was I'M
successful
DIVERS TO SEARCH BASIN.
New York, June 15.-Pending inves-
tfgation by the federal authorities,
John ~ Robbins. of the John N. Rob
bins company. refuses to make a state
ment concerning the sinking of the
United States transport ingalls, in the
Erie basin yesterday. So far as known
the accident caused the death of one
man and the injury of more than so
others. The greater number of those
injured are IN Seney hospital, Brook
1yn, where it was said today that sew
eral were in a serious condition Those
IN charge at the dock do not think that
there are any dead in the BASIN al
though the fear was expressed in some
quarters that worknen might have
gone to the bottom when the transport
turned over.
To make certain that all on board
had been accounted for preparations
were made for a thorough search of the

New York. June 15.-Taotai Loo Chin
mandarin of the fourth class, has ar
rived in this city to investigate Amer
lean commerce and business methods.
He is an envoy of the Chinese minister
of commerce and railroads, Shen Huen

party. While in the city Mandarin Loo
will be a. guest of Chow Tszchi, at the
consular residence He viii 60 to Wash

dentials to Minister WI.
With Consul Chow as an interpreter
Mandarin Loo said to a reporter:
THE boxer trouble has really been to
China blessing in disguise. Very
much disguised it was for q time when
it looked as though China would be dis
membered and divided among the pow
ers. We know what the country needs
now and we will see that it gets it. The
dowager empress and the emperor no
longer live together, and her hold on
him seems to be broken. This will be
greatly to China's advantage. There
will be many radical changes through
out the empire. We will build railroads
and telegraph lines.
Just before left Shanghai I learned
that men were being selected to come
to the United States and study your ex-
cellent system of public schools. In a
short time every Chinese town will have
its school house. We are going to make
changes in the form of government of
the various provinces. Many official
positions viii be abolished, at a great
saving of salaries. The United States
is the one country for China You are
the only people in the world which
stood up for us and had you not no one
can tell what would have become of
China. Every part of China will be op-
ened to trade, and the United States
will lead the world, as usual"
