ACCIDENT ON
WARSHIP IOWA
Second Dispatch From Admiral
HiggiHsOn, in Command.
FULL DETAILS ARE LACKING
VICTIMS WERE BURIED AT PEN
sACOLA NAVY YARD.

Washington, April lO.-The cipher
dispatch received by the navy depart
ment last night regarding the explo-
sion of the gun on the Iowa was de-
ciphered this morning. 1t was from
Admiral Higginson anG said.
"Iowa's breech-lOading rifle Twelve
inch gun burst in front of the truh-
MONS. Three killed, four wounded.
Then follows the names given In last
nights dispatch. The department eA-
pected fuller particulars today
Because of the meager details or the
explosion Of the twelye-lncn gun
aboard the Iowa yesterday which Ad-
miral Higgiuson's dispatch contained
officials at the navy department tnls
morning can only speculate as 10 us
cause. I'm accordance with the regu-
latious Admiral HigginsOn. 1t IS sup
posed. has already appointed a board
OF officers TO Investigate the accident
and report. This report may not ar
rive for several days.
New Gun Ordered.
Rear Admiral ONeu. chief Of the
bureau OF ordnance, has already issued
orders for the transportation to New
York OF a new tWelve-inCh gun, which
ts now ct the Washington navy yard,
and it viii be placed on the Iowa when
that vessel comes to New York for re-
pairs. Admiral O'Nel said today:
The gun which burst was designed
In 1898 and manufactured Ia 1895 at the
naval gun factory. Jan. I, 1903, the
gun had been fired 125 times. Yester-
days accident is the first that has
ever happened 20 any Of the large cali
Der guns Of the navy. except In the
case OF a twelve-inch gun on the Kear-
sarge the bore Of which was injured
by the premature explosion OF a shell
Two years ago. A lining tube was in
serted In that gun and today IL Is in
use az the proving grounds.
Cause Not Yet Known.
mo reason can yet be assigned for
the accident. AS yet 40 Is not known
what kind OF powder or shell was used,
nor have we the details as to the To-
cation or character Of the fracture or
OF the condition Of the bore Of the gun,
an OF which VIII have TO be considered.
While the accident may have been due
10 the premature explosion of the shell
I'm the bore such a contingency is un-
likely. as shells have on several occa-
slOns broken up I'm bores of guns with
out any other injury TO the gun than
the defacing Of the bore. So far as the
bureau Us advised, all the Iowa's
twelve-inch shells are fitted with base
covers with a view to preventing a pos
sible premature explosion due to the
action Of powder gases"
The bureau of navigation has sent
kilograms of sympathy 10 the families
OF the men killed and wounded in the
explosion.
From Rear Admiral Higginson. at
Pensacola a second dispatch. dated
today, was received at the navy de-
partment. as follows:
Purcell landsMan: Walter +. Keu.
seaman. u. L. Barry. ordinary seaman,
killed on Iowa. will be buried at navy
yard Pensacola

BREAK AT HYMELlA
Situation Unchanged and the Worst
is Thought to Be Over.

New Orleans. April 1O.-A force Of 300
men is at the Hymelia crevasse today
sacking the wings Of the cribbing and
attempting TO make secure the broken
ends, but no further attempt was made
to close the break. If the wings last
there is no fear that the crevasse in
the ievee win enlarge. II is estimated
that between 100000 and 100000 has
been sunk in the work at Hymelia. The
Texas & Pacific railroad win be forced
to use the Southern Pacific rails for
its through traffic until the water re-
cedes. Arrangements are again being
made to keep the water from the west
bank of the river at Algiers and
Grenada.
The river here dropped to 1919 today,
a fall of tWo-tenths. or four tenths low
er than the maximum this year. The
decline is thought TO be due in part 10
the reopening Of the Hymelia crevasse.
IL Is generally believed that the worst
Of the food is over and no new breaks
viii occur.

ENGLAND AND THE CANAL.
Nothing Known in Washington
About Special Privileges.

Washington, April lO.-No hint of the
negotiations reported to be in progress
between the governments of the United
States and Great Britain relative to
British commercial privileges in the
Panama canal has yet crossed the At
lantic save in the brief press dispatch
of yesterday. The officials here say
they know nothing of any such project
and point to the faca that there is
scarcely a precedent for negotiations
in such an important subject, nearly a
generation in advance of the probable
opening of the canal 1t is also sug-
gested that "the most favored natiOa"
clause in the majority OF our trea ties
would make it difficult TO confer shy
privilege Of this kind upon England to
the exclusion of other POWERS.

SUN SPOT MENACES
EARTH WITH STORMS
1t Is Larger Than Its Predecessor
of 1882.

PITTSBURG, oct. 13.-The great sun
spot recently observed by astronomers
may pass over the meridian Of the earth
without affecting the surface by cleo
tricaI disturbances as did the great sun
storm OF lSS2. Il is so much larger than
the sun spot which produced the previous
disturbances that II II affects the earth
II IS expected TO create more storms on
the earth's surface than did its prede-
cessor.
Prot. John A. Brashear observed the
spot Sunday night and Monday morning
and arrived at this conclusion. He said:
he great sun spot was observed be-
tween riffs in the clouds .ast evening at
5;S5 o'clock. The Quadruple bridges OF
flames seen crossing the umbra on the
eastern end OF The great disturbances
had broken up and appeared as a single
tongue OF flame extending 1000 miles
across the spot.
AT 5,45 p. m a thin veil Of cloud COW
ering the suns surface made It possible
TO view 1t with the naked eye. Yesterday
morning "a fine view was had OF the solar
