 Four bodies are still in sight in the boiler room under the wrcckage and they will be secured as soon as pos sible. Men are now at work cutting a Lola into the other engine room through the bulkhead.

The whole deck seemed to lift in front of us and clCud of white steam swept aft over the berth deck scalding every one.

Convinced beyond doubt that yellow fever is in New Orleans. Dr. E. D. Rondurant of Mobile, President of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama. and acting State Health Of 6cer. yesterday recommended that Gov ernor William D.

 Meanwhile the official quarantine su- pervisors of Alabama at Mobile. Bir- minEham. Montgomery and Decatur and Meridian.

PEPPERMAN AT WORK.
Trying to Secure Laborers for the Pan-
 ana Canal.

Washington, July 21.-The first at- tempt to secure lahorers in large num- bers for work in connection with the construction of the Panama Canal will be made tomorrow when bids will be asked by Leon w. Pepperman, Acting Chief Officer of the Panama Canal Com mission for 2,0o0 each of Chinese, Jap anese and Italian laborers.
 Those who compete for furnishing these laborers will be required to sub init bids first as to the amount Ter day for which the laborers of a certain 1a- tionality will work and also bids stat ing the amount the Government will be required to pay to get the laborers on the Isthmus of Panama. In this latter item will bc included particularly in the case of Chinese an amount of money advanced to the family Of Chi . namen for maintenance until the wage earner can remit for this purpose from his earnings, the amount of transpor- tation and nece essary incidental funds to deftay the expenses of the Journey.
 It is not the purpose of the Commis- der for labor which will preclude the Goverr ment making direct and ;ndi- vidual appointments with each of the laborers furnished. This precaution Is taken to avoid any semhlancc CT possi- hility of involuntary servitude. Under the plSn proposed contractor will land his laborers on the Isth:nus. These laborers will then personally apply for appointment, stating the amount for which they will work

NAVAL OFFICIALS SHOCKED.
News of Disaster to Bennington Reach
 es WashingtOn.

es Washington.
 Washington, July 21.-Officials of the navy department and naval officers on duty in Washington were appalled, to- day when the news came from San Diego, telling of the disaster which overlook the gunboat Bennington. Their first information was received from press despatches. Later came telegram from Commander Young. captain of the Bennington, announcing the explosion and stating that nearly everybody was killed or wounded.
 Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling and Captain William P. Potter acting chief of the bureau of navigation. were promptly in conference with the result that an order was sent forthwith to the commander of the navy yard at Marc Island to send Captain Drake, captain of the yard, and such medical officers as were available to San Diego as quickly as possible, a telegram an- nouncing this action being immediate ly sent to Commander Young. Anoth- CT telegram was sent to the President at Oyster Bay conveying to him the news of the calamity. The supply ship Iris and the tugboat Fortune were to- night ordered to proceed from San Francisco to San Diego in connection with the Bennington disaster.
 Lieutenant Commander H. B Will son of the bureau of navigation, who has charge of the assignment of en- listed men. upon learning of the explo- sion immediately set about to prepare a list of the ships crew which sub sequently was made public. As the last roster received from the Bennington was for the month of March 1t was necessary to go through the records to learn what changes had been made in the complement. In addition an order had recently been sent to the Mare Island navy yard to have a detail of twenty-seven men sent from that station to the Bennington and 1t was not known at the department whether they had gone to the ship A telegram of inquiry was sent 10 the command ant at Mare Island. when a reply came stating that the detail had left San Francisco on the 17th. arriving at San Diego on the 18th. It was hoped at the department that this detachment had not joined the crew, but in that they were disappointed, for they had gone aboard
 The Bennington was under orders for Panama, where she was being pre- pared to relieve the Princeton, and was to have sailed direct from San Diego to the isthmus, but a report was received at the department announce ing that the Wyoming had disabled a propeller and orders were sent for the Bennington to proceed to Port Hart ford and convey the Wyoming from that port to San Francisco. Just as a press bulletin was taken into the bureau of navigation today announc- ing the explosion. a telegram was re- ceived from Commander Young stat | ing that he was about to sail north ward as directed.
 The Bennington was a three masted schooner. She was built by N E. Palmer & Co. of Chester, Pa. Her con l struction was authorized by Congress | on March 3, 1887. he keel being laid in June 1888. She was launched June 8. | 1890 She was commissioned for the first time June 20. 1891. The Benning- tons engines were twin screw, horizon
