MORE THAN 200 WOUNDED

San Diego, Cal, July 22.-0ne Of the
most frightful disasters in the history
of the American navy, excepting the
sinking Of the Maine in Havana harbor,
occurred in the San Diego harbor at
1890 a. M, yesterday, on board the
United States gunboat Bennington.
AT moment when the warship, lying
at anchor and with her officers and crew
quietly attending TO their duties Of
making preparations for getting under
way, was the object Of interest to hum
dreds Of people observing her on piers,
pleasure boats and passing ferryboats,
cloud Of steam burst suddenly from
a point just forward Of the smokestack,
out Of which the spectators were horri.
fed to see bodies and human fragments
hurled high in the air and scattered over
the surrounding water.
The outburst was accompanied By Il
roar as of thunder and q shock that
rocked vessels near BY.
In All instant the air was filled With
shrieks OF pain from the wounded, which
could be heard ashore, and with flying
fragments Of human beings and pieces
OF the ships superstrneture. The next
moment bleeding sailors were fighting,
crippled, III the water against death in
only less sudden form than that
from which they had escaped, while row.
boats. sailboats, launches and tugs were
being driven ID the rescue as fast as
arms, wind and steam could carry
them.
4 ferryboat, which was passing near
by, turned and FASTENED to render as
sistanee, her own deck crowded with
frightened men and women who saw
the havoc that had been wrought III a
twinkling.
A most horrible sight met those who
approached. In the water men with
blackened faces We're struggling, handi-
capped by injuries; others on deck were
covered with blood and CRIME, some
dead, some wounded frightfully, 9TH
ers working to rescue comrades who
were yet below.
The smaller boats turned their at
tention to those in the water, taking
them To wharves as fast ais a few hae
been taken aboard the small craft. All
the wharyes preparations were speedily
made for taking care Of the injuret
in what BY this time was seen to b
disaster of awful proportions.

tomobiles and street cars were bearing
burdens Of victims toward the hospital
The sight which met the eyes of hun.
dreds along the street was one never
to be forgotten.
Wagons with dozen wounded mer
were not rare. One had eight sitting

their laps the heads OF comrades neai

another time the coat dominates the hat.
while the sleeve itself has time and again

Today the coat has the casting vote
Fashion being so enamored of the empire

sweet will in the matter of headgear. And
the sweet will of the empire coat tends to
the hat of pronounced silhouette. The en-
