Four identified men of the raft who joined the Bennington upon her arrival here.
 Seven known to be in flooded compart- ments of the vessel and an undetermined number of men who are still missing. The day brought developments and news of the most intense interest and im- portance to naval officers. From Wash ington came information that Rear Ad- miral Goodrich. commanding the Pacific squadron, had been ordered to Sandiego forthwith. This is taken to mean na- val investigation into the cause of the explosion. ceerer Than Ever In Mud. The Remington tonight lies deeper than ever in the mud and shallow water on the shores of the bay and no apparent progress was made in pumping out her | flooded compartments. Until this is ac- complished the secrets of the horror chamber will not be discovered. Commander Lucien Young was seen in his quarters aboard the Bennington. He was asked to make a statement as to | the cause of the explosion and its ef- | fects on the machinery. He said: "As to the cause of the explosion can not say anything because I do not know. What do know is that the damage was done by an exploding boiler or boilers. | The crown sheet of boiler B collapsed and the boiler head blew out breaking | through the steel bulkhead separating 1t l from boiler D. the other main port boiler | immediately aft Boiler D was forced | back, the crown sheet collapsing and | breaking down the steel bulkhead. sep arating 1t from the fore room.

That is entirely wrong. There were no high explosives in the part of the ship where the explosion occurred and I am 1 positive that 1t will be found that all | damage was caused by the boilers" What was the condition of the boilers, | captain?" was asked. As far as I know they were in first class condition. They had been recently tested to 225 pounds pressure. At the time of the explosion we carried only | 120 pounds.' When were the boilers last inspected?''
