WAS THE SECOND
BIG GUN ACCIDENT.

First Was That Aboard the Kear-
sage Two Years Ago.
Washington, April 1O-The cipher
dispatch received by the Navy Depart
ment last night regarding the explo-
sion of the gun on the Iowa off Pensa-
cola was to-day deciphered. 1t was
from Admiral Higginson and said:
"Iowa's breach-loading rife twelve
inch gun burst in front of trunnions;
three killed, four wounded"
Then follow the names given in last
nights dispatch.
From Rear Admiral Higginson a sec
ond dispatch, dated to-day. was re-
ceived at the Navy Department as fol-
lows:
"E. L. Purcell landsman; Walter F.
Kiele, seaman; F. L. Berry. ordinary
seaman, killed on Iowa; will be buried
at navy yard, Pensacola"
Because of the meager details of the
explosion which Admiral Higginson's
dispatch contained, officials at the
Navy Department can only speculate
as to it's cause. In accordance with
the regulations, Admiral Higginson, it
is supposed, has already appointed a
board of officers to investigate the acct
dent and report. This report may not
arrive for several days.
Rear Admiral O'Neil, chief of the
bureau of ordnance, has already is
sued orders for the transportation to
New York of a new twelve-inch gun,
which is now at the Washington navy
yard, and 1t win be placed on the Iowa
when that vessel comes to New York
for repairs. Admiral O'Neil said to-
day:
THE gun which burst was designed
in 1893, and manufactured in 1895 at
the naval gun factory. Jan. l, 1903, the
gun had been fired 125 times.
Yesterdays accident is the first
that has ever happened to any Of the
large calibre guns of the navy, except

President Vasquez's forces are at

JURY WAS SECURED
And Statements Made in the Howard
Murder Case.

Frankfort, KY, April 10.-The selec-
ton of the jury in the case of James
Howard, who is charged with killing
Gov. William Goebel, was completed
this afternoon, and the opening state
ments of what the commonwealth and
defense expect to prove by witnesses
were placed before the court.
Judge Benjamin Williams, for the
commonwealth, stated that the prose-
cution would show to the jury that
Gov. W. S. Taylor had the defendant
brought here in January, 1900, for the
purpose of killing Gov. Goebel, and
that on Towards arrival on the morn
ing of Jan. 80 he reported to James
E. Youtsey and that Youtsey took him
to the private office of Secretary of
State Powers and pointed Goebel out
to him as the latter came up to the
capitol, and that Towards reward
was to be a pardon for a murder pre-
viously committed.
Attorney ]. A. Scott, for the defense,
stated that the defendant would be
able to show the jury that Youtsey,
and not Howard had killed Goebel.
The introduction of evidence will be
begun Tomorrow

was inserted in that gun, and to-day
it is in use at the proving grounds.
mo reason can yet be assigned for
the accident. AS yet it is not known
what kind of powder or shell was
used, nor have we the details as to the
location or character of the fracture
or of the condition of the bore of the
gun. all of which will have to be con-
sidered While the accident may have
been due to the premature explosion
of the shell in the bore, such a contin-
gency is unlikely, as shells have on
several occasions broken up in bores
of guns without any other injury TO
the gun than the defacing of the bore.
$50 far as the bureau is advised, all
the Iowa's Pinch shells are fitted with
base covers, with a view to preventing
a possible premature explosion due to
the action of powder gases"
The Bureau of Navigation has sent
kilograms of sympathy to the families
of the men killed ana wounded in the
explosion.
Acting Secretary Darling to-day sent
the following dispatch of sympathy to
Rear Admiral Higginson, commanding
the North Atlantic feet at Pensacola:
please convey to the officers and
men of the fleet sincere sympathy of
department in the loss of their COM
rades by the unfortunate accident on
board the Iowa.

Although it had been intended that
the Iowa should be repaired at the
New York yard without going out of
commission, the damage done by the
explosion will probably make it neces-
sary to put the vessel out of commits

ONE HUNDRED MOROS
FELL IN BATTLE.
Pershing's Force Wrought Havoc
in MindanaO.


Manila, April 10.-Capt Pershings
force captured Bacolod, Island of Min
danao, Wednesday, killed a hundred
Moros and wounded many others.
Three Americans were wounded.
Pershing's force consisted of Shaw's
battalion of the Twenty-seventh In
fantry, Kilpatrick's troops of the Fiji
tenth Cavalry. and McNairy's bat
terry.
Pershing was surveying the west
shore lands when the Bacolodians OPP
posed his advance and provoked the
fight. Pershing surrounded and at
tackled their stronghold, first Smelling
them, and rushing his troops forward
charged calamity. After crossing
deep moat and entering the fort the
Americans engaged the Moros, bayo-
nets against krisses. A hundred of
the defenders were killed, including
the Datto Panandungan, and many
were wounded. Only three Americans
were wounded. After the capture of
the fort it was destroyed.
The Bacolod leaders and the major
ity of the people of that district had
been hostile to the Americans and en-
couraged attacks on the American
camps. They rejected the tenders of
friendship.
1t is expected that the defeat of the
Bacolodians will result in all the Mo-
ros acknowledging American sover-
eighty.

Bristol, r. l., April 10.-There will be
launched, just before sunset to-mor-

ninety-foot composite fin-keel sloop
yacht, which a syndicate of six prom
Yacht Club have had constructed for
the defense of the Americas cup

lenger Miss Nora Iselin, the daughter

defender will carry the hopes of the
nation that she keep intact the sue
cessful record of the past fifty-two
years against more than a dozen at
tempts on the part of British yachts
men to regain the blue ribbon of the
seas.
Although the Reliance, as in the case
of nearly all the cup defenders, has
been built in secret, it is known that
her under-body is constructed of tobin
bronze, and her top sides of nickel
steel. 1t is known also that she is
about 140 feet over all, just short of
ninety feet on the water line, and about
twenty feet deep and twenty-four beam.
When fully rugged she will be able
to spread over $1,000 square feet of
canvas, which is the largest amount
ever hoisted by any racing 9O-foot
slcop.
The members of the syndicate who
gave the order for the boat are ex-
pected here tomorrow forenoon. Ar
rangements will be made to protect
the Reliance from injury by contact
with other boats when she slides into
the water. A great fleet of craft I'M

ATTEMPT TO BURN
THE CUP DEFENDER.
Efforts Made to Destroy the HERES
hOff Yards.


hOff Yards.
Bristol, r. l., April 10.-Indications
that twice during the last week at
tempts have been made to burn the
Herreshoff boat shops and the new
cup defender Reliance have Just come
to light The matter was not report
ed to the police, but extra precau-
tions have been taken to guard the
property.
Two years ago an attempt was made
to burn the boat shops and the yacht
Constitution, which was being built,
and the would-be incendiary was cap
tured and subsequently declared to be
insane. 1t is thought that the present
attempts have been due to a similar
cause.
Apparently every effort has been
made to keep the facts from becom-
ing public. 1t appears, however, that
last Monday evening the Waterman at
the Herreshoff works found some
grease-saturated garments piled near
the staging about the Reliance, and
on top of the pile was lighted can
die, which had burned to within an
inch of the refuse. The Waterman act
ed quickly and prevented a fire.
Steps were taken to guard against
a recurrence of such an experience, but
on Tuesday night another pile of
refuse was found near the boat. No
attempt had been made to fire it. The
workmen are of the opinion that the
second incident, at least, was only a
matter of carelessnesS on the part of
some one about the shop.

The British-American Tobacco Com

made this statement to-day:
LAS you know, negotiations for the

can have been pending for several
days. If everything is satisfactory,
then the deal will be closed at once.
Negotiations were made for the pur-
chase of the concern, and we submit
ted a statement of our assets. An
examination of our books is now be-
ing made, and if the statement is
verified, than the plant will be sold to
the British American.

ROUTED FROM BED.
Alarm of Fire Caused Great Con-

Alarm of Fire Caused Great Con-
sternatiOn in New York.
New York, April 1O.-Three hundred
guests of the Victoria Hotel were
routed from bed early to-day by smoke
from a fire near by, and all the other
occupants of the buildings in the block
bounded by Twenty-sixth and Twenty
seventh streets, Broadway and Fifth
avenue, were frightened.
In an apartment house at Twenty
sixth street and Fifth avenue there
was great excitement, partly due to
another fire scare there recently, and
the tenants rushed for the elevators.
In the Victoria Hotel annex there were
many actors and actresses, who
crowded out on the fire escapes until
assured there was no danger, and in
other builSiAgs women were carried
down through smoke to safety by po-
licemen.
The fire was in a building in Fifth
avenue between Twenty-siXth and
Twenty-s streets, used as a
storage warehouse for paintings and
antiques, and the damage is estimated
at 100000.
One of the smoke-routed tenants in
the apartment building was Capt. e.
T. Zalinski, inventor of the dynamite
gun. He is a cripple, and in spite of
his objections on account of his desire
to save valuable papers, a fireman
picked him up in his arms and carried
him to the street.
on the top floor of the apartment
house the police found a woman and
her daughter chasing two prize Angora
cats, each woman holding a basket for
carrying the pets. On account of the
smoke, the women were warned to get
out and leave the cats, but they re-
fused, and a policeman had to catch
the animals and see them and their
owners safely to the street.

GOES TO THE GOVERNOR.
Pennypacker Will Give the Publish

IchhypActAeE VIII OANe the AubhASh-
ers "a Hearing.
Harrisburg, Pa, April 10-The libel
bill, which has stirred up the entire
newspaper press of the state, came
into the possession of v. Pennypack-
eli late this afternoon for his approval
or disapproval.
The bill passed the House finally
to-day by a vote of 1875 to 81 after
a somewhat bitter fight. Three Dem
ocrats voted with the majority and
twenty-three Republicans joined with
the minority. The bill was introduced
in the House on Monday night by
Republican member from Philadelphia,
and an identical measure was presented
by a Republican senator from Phil
adelphia in the Senate on Tuesday.
Both bills were moved up rapidly,
the Senate bill passing that body yes
terday. 1t was quickly messaged to
the House, and when the House bill
came up for final passage to-day, the
Senate bill was substituted for 1t by a
vote Of 122 to S.
AS the Legislature will adjourn final
ly next Thursday, the advocates did
not care to risk one bill going through
both houses. United States Senator
Penrose and other Republican leaders
have been on the ground several days
directing the fight in favor of the
bill.
Governor Pennypacker will give the
publishers a hearing on the bill. He
has thirty days in which to approve
or disapproVe it.
