into the Cause of the Ben,
 ningtOn Disaster
YOUNG Is ECLIPSED
For the Present the Commander is Overlooked in Orders from the De-
 Partment. Startling Story of De-
 seFter from GunbOat at Honolulu.

Washington, July 24-Seoretary Bonaparte in a statement made upon his arrival at the navy department to- day said: "The public may rest as- sured that the Bennington disaster will be thoroughly investigated and that whatever results. such action as may be shown to be proper win be taken by the department promptly and ef- actually"
 Secretary Bonaparte showed the deep interest he has taken in the Benning- ton disaster by imemdiately taking up the subject on his return today He held an extended conference with As sistant Secretary Darling and found that MT. Darling had done everything possible to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded and for the proper care of the dead, as well as to lay the founda- ton for an investigation of the expIo- sion. When advised that Rear Admi5a al Goodrich had been ordered to San Diego. the secretary asked as Ito the number of officers that would be avail able upon the admirals arrival, from which a proper Investigating body could be convened. The secretary was assured that with the officers on the ground and those who will come with the flagship Chicago and the supply of the ship Iris, there will be ample material for a board or for a court of inquiry. The secretary expects a most thorough investigation.
 When Admiral Goodrich reaches San Diego all facts developed pending his arrival will be reported to him and i; is expected that the board of investiga- lion which the captain ordered to de- termine the extent of the damage to thr hull and engines also will report their results of the investigation to the admiral.
 Admiral Goodrich then can determine fhe steps to be taken. but it was made manifest today that MT. BOnaparte eX- poets the inquiry to be exhaustive and such as will develop every possible fact It was suggested at the depar 5ment to- day that some of the steam engineer ing records of the Bennington may have been destroyed when the ship was blown up. The quarterly report cOv- ering the period from March 30. tC June 30. had not been received at tho bureau of steam engineering up to the hour of closing today. It is possible it is stated. that the mailing of the report may have been delayed, and that it was aboard the ship at the time Ot the explosion.
 The department today telegraphed tC Captain Drake for a list of the survi- vors. This was done because of the numerous inquiries that have come from relatives of sailors who have no been reported among the dead CT in

jured. The department has directed that report be sent to the department daily from San Diego.
 Admiral Dewey today received from Lord Admiral Charles Beresford. com manding the British Mediterranean fleet now stationed at Gibraltar. the following messags ''The admirals, captains. officers and ships companies of the British mediterranean fleet send warm sympathy with United States navy and nation in the terrible calam- ity to the Bennington.
 "CHAS. BERESFORD."
 Admiral Dewey replied as follows:
 'eVice Admiral Beresford, Gibraltar: I am deeply grateful to you and the admirals, captains. officers and men of your fleet for sympathy over the loss of life in the Bennington disaster.
 GEORGE DEWEY"
 The following expression came to As sitant Secretary Darling from Ben nington. Vt. the town after which the Inflated ship was named: "in behalf of the citizens of Bennington. l tender you heartfelt sympathy and sorrow for inc suffering and death caused by the erievous disaster to the good ship Ben nington. named after this old historic town. manned by heroic souls whose fortitude and bravery has just been so fully shown. We have always regard ed this gallant ship with more than or dinary interest and this terrible mistca tune calls forth deep expressions oi sorrow. coincidence and sympathy.
 A. J. Cooper. president of the Ben nington village"
 MT Darling's reply follows:
 "In behalf of the sufferers ana friends of those who died in She ter rible acident on the United States gun boat Bennington, I wish through vol to thank the people of the town afte- which the vessel was named for thei' expression of sympathy. Coming iron you as representative of my fellow townsmen the message was especial! touching to me"

AN ENGLISH STATEMENT
In Which it is Made Known That Great Britain was Ready 10 Stand by France in a Conflict With Germany.

London. July 24.-From high o1i- cial of the foreign office today the As soclated Press obtained au iut-rrstine statement regarding the relations ot Great Britain. France and Germany Beginning with a declaration that Great Britain would welcome deren- sive alliance with France because lt would insure lOng continuance of European peace by acting as a chec6 to German ambition. the official char acterized the charges made tn Jhe Ger man press against Great Britain cf seeking to involve France in war with Germany as absolutely contrary to Jh- facts.
 He said: France certainly is not desirous of war with Germany. and if Great Britain. as alleged. ursei France to fight. the French govern ment and press would not now display that friendliness toward us which is apparent on all sides When Germany created the controversy with Fr-uce over Morocco the British government , informed the French government that it would support it in whatever policy it decided to pursue.
 Accordingly Great Britain declined to participate in the inteuatioul cln- ference when France declined. and ac- cepted when France racousidered i-z decision. but any cJIarge that lsc sought to bring about war or failed to use our good otncaS tu prevent -t conflict is absolutely false We wou,d undoubtedly have stood l-- France u any conflict over the Moroccan rueS- ton, but WI do not want 60 cuul.ct. and desire an understanding y.itl France solely to insure peace Grrl- Britain at war would sufl-r indefinite ly greater commercial losses than her adversary.

With Reference to the Dis
 position of ManChuria
HER OWN SUGGESTION
Concerning the Boycott of American Goods, the Chinese Minister is Hopeful that a Way May be Found Out Of the Serious Tangle.

Amherst. Mass, July 24-That Chi ma in communicating to the powers her unwillingness to recognize any ar engagement regarding Manchuria about which she had not been previously consulted, acted entirely on Der own initiative. is the emphatic statement of Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister, who is spending the summer here
 "The note just made public by the Washington government" declared the minister was addressed by my government first to the belHgerents and later to the neutral powers. Pre- vious to this my government had sounded its governor and Viceroys and ministers abroad regarding various phases of the Manchurian question and the notification to the powers that we would not recognize any arrange ment regarding the Chinese province of Manchuria, about which we had not been consulted beforehand was not ! prompted, or even suggested, so far as I am aware, by any other govern
 ment. but emanated directly on it's Initiative"
 The minister has received brief ad- | vices about the boycott de-
 clared on American goods by 1 the Chinese merchants. On this | point he said "The govern ment has done what it could to dis
 courage this boycott which is not in | any way a governmental affair, but lemanates from the commercial guilds, over which the government has nc control"
 The minister added that his govern ment would continue to do what il
 could to allay the agitation and eX- pressed a hooe that :t would not in- terfere in any way with the cordia relations existing between the tw, governments. At the Chinese legation the hope is expressed that when the i willingness of this government to in terpret the immigration law in a broad spirit to afford 10 the non-labor- ling classes of Chinese proper facilities
 of travel in this country becomes known through China the presen
 anti-American feeling will subside. I The outlook for a new immi grafton treaty is not regarded
 as bright at this time. A more i'm mediate means of relief. it is believed
 will be found in an amendment to eX- listing laws under which only Chinese laborers would be excluded from the Icountry. It is probable this matter
 will be taken up at the next congress No attempt is made at the lega tiOr to conceal the seriousness of the pres eut boycott or that the feeling against ithe American restriction of Chinese Immigration of the better classes runs lhigh in Chinese commercial circles.
