BONAPARTE'S STATEMENT.
Secretary Assures the Public That Investi.
cation Will Be Thor ugh.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Untn the arrival
at San Diego OF Rear Admiral Goodrich,
commander OF the Pacific station of the
navy, it is not expected that there will be
further official developments In the Ben
ninpton disaster. Capt. Drake, now COM
handing officer at San Diego, Is making
an investigation primarily to ascertain
the condition Of the vessel and to deter
mine the best plans for floating the wreck
and also to look into the causes OF the acci-
dent.
When Admiral Goodrich arrives he will
assume entire control Of the matter. The
investigation will be rigid one Secre-
tary Of the Navy Bonaparte to-day returned
To Washin gton. He issued statement in
which assurances we're given that any
conclusions reached by the investigate
committee would bring forth prompt ac-
ton from the Navy Department.
Commander George B. Ransom, chief en-
Where the Bennington was last overhauled;
repaired and inspected, has been ordered
to San Diego. He will get there two or
| three days prior to Admiral Goodrich,
and by the time Of the arrival Of the latter
will probably have many facts in MS pos,
| session that will be most valuable to the
commanding officer in the investigation
Aside from this Commander Ransom is
thoroughly familiar with the Bennington
and the condition of the vessel when she was
| last at the Mare Island yard.
HRear Admiral Goodrich is due at Sar
Diego on Thursday. He will be in Sar
Francisco, where the Chicago will take or
coal, tomorrow. After ,coaling the yes
sel will proceed as rapidly as possible tc
San Diego. The Remington will probably
be relocated. Capt. Drake g reports in
| dicate that the holes In the bottom can bf
repaired and it is expected that within
day or two the centrifugal pump now a.
work will have most OF the water out o.
the hold. Except for the main battery
the vessel will be completely dismantled.
The arrival OF the tug Fortune at sal
ment to-day. The repair and distilline
ship Iris viii probably go TO the Eeniins
ton tomorrow.
The statement made by Secretary Bona
parte was as follows:
