EXPLOSION ON STEAMER
Accident Takes Place on British Yes,

Harbor
BY Associated Press.

LONDON Dec. S.--A news agency
says a telegram has been received in
London from Saigon, French Indo-
China, saying that an explosion has
taken place on board the British steam
er Carlisle in the harbor of Saigon.
The Carlisle was chartered by the
Russian government to carry supplies
from Vladivostok to Port Arthur be-
fore the surrender of the latter fort
ress. She lost her propeller and drifted
to San Miguel bay, island of Luzon,
whence she was towed to Manila. In
May she arrived at Saigon and was
detained there on suspicion of carrying
contraband of war. Later 1t was learned
that her cargo consisted of arms and
ammunition valued at $4,500,000 and
after the conclusion of peace she was
compelled to remain at Saigon because
the Russian government refused to
pay her time charges.

own allegations and not attempt to in
troduce the witness as the wife to tes-
tify against her husband. Judge Len
