cUNBoAT EXPLOSION
SECOND ONLY TO MAINE HORROR
United States Gunboat Bennington
Blown Up In San Diego Harbor-

ThIrty-NIns Killed outrisht-pue
to Defective Boiler.
San Diego. Cal, July 22.-As re-
suit of frightful explosion OF one OF
the main boilers on the United States
gunboat Bennington in San Diego har-
Dor shortly before noon yesterday.
thirty-nine men are known to be dead.
twenty-one are missing. and between
sixty and seventy are at the hospitals.
many of whom will die. The total
deaths probably will be nearly sixty.
The warship was badly shattered. q
great hole being torn in her stern, and
she has been beached to prevent her
sinking. The explosion Is believed to
have been In a boiler. which for many
months has been regarded as weak.
though an inspection made year ago
resulted in favorable report. The
ship was getting up steam preparatory
to towing the disabled Wyoming to
Mare Island. Every seaman on board
was either killed or seriously or
slightly wounded.
Thirty-nine of her crew lie dead at
city morgues, the fate OF dozen more
is as yet undetermined. and three
score are stretched upon beds OF pain
in various hospitals.
This Is the result of the explosion
which wrecked the trim little naval
craft and wrought such terrible havoc
among her crew at half past 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
The placid waters of San Diego bay
have never before been the scene OF
such a disaster, and San Diego city
has never been stirred by such scenes
of death and suffering as those wit
messed last night.
The Bennington at the time OF the
accident was lying in the stream Just
off the commercial wharf at the foot
of H street. The warship had received
orders to sail this morning for Port
Hartford, where she was to NEE: the
monitor Wyoming and convoy the YES
sci to Mare Island navy yard.
Steam was up and everything was
| in readiness for sailing, when sud
denly and without any warning what
ever the starboard forward boiler ex'
ploded with deafening roar.
The explosion was terrific. People
standing on the shore saw huge
cloud of white steam rise above the
Bennington. Columns of water were
hurled into the air and for distance
of nearly twice the height of the spars
1t was Immediately apparent that an
awful disaster of some kind had hap
pened on board the warship. The ferry
boat Ramona was coming across the
bay at the time of the accident.
Captain Bertelain of the Ramona
Immediately gave orders to change
the course of the boat and instead OF
continuing his trip to the San Diego
side of the bay, hurried to the aid OF
the stricken warship.

CHINA TAKES A STAND
SENDS NOTES TO THE POWERS
Demands to Be Heard at Peace Con-
ferenee-Expeets Full Restoga-
tjon Of Manchuria.

Washington. July 21.-China's Off
cial notification to the powers that she
will not recognize any arrangement re-
garding Manchuria concerning which
she has not been consulted beforehand.
has reached Washington and will be
forthwith forwarded to the President
at Oyster Bay. Before addressing this
note to the neutral powers, China sent
to st. Petersburg and Toxic an idenu-
cal note, containing this notification.
The Chinese communication is briefly
worded and is SO expressed that 1t
calls for no delay.
The arrival of the text Of the note
disposes of the unofficial report reach
ing Washington recently from Europe
which found credence in official cir
cles, that China had requested that
she be allowed to participate in the
conference.
China has not yet taken this step,
for several reasons. The Chinese gov
ernment is anxious that, so far as pos
sible, the belligerents be allowed to ne
gotiate directly with each other, and
is adverse to being forced into the ne
gotiations.
China's motive in addressing to Rus
sia and Japan such a notification was
to remind them that she had never ac-
quiesced in the alienation Of the prov
ince of Manchuria from Chinese soVer-
eighty and that she expected as the
first result of the war the full restora-
ion to Chinese control of that prov
ince.
That this position might receive the
continued support of the neutral pow
Srs, copies of the note were forwarded
to the other capitals for presentation
by the respective Chinese representa-
tives.
Before sending this notification the
Chinese government addressed to Its
viceroys, governors and diplomatic
representatives abroad long list OF
questions about Manchuria. asking
their opinions regarding the steps the
government should take to insure its
restoration to China.
On one point these replies were sin
gularly in accord-that this restora-
ton should be made unconditionally. 1t
was also suggested in some of the re-
plies that China Immediately declare
open to the worlds trade several addi'
tional ports In Manchuria for limited
number OF years. and, provided in the
meantime the Chinese legal code had
been revised and regular Chinese
courts had been firmly established, that
the powers be asked to waive extra
territorial rights in Manchuria in favor
of the Chinese government.
II this were done, it was recon-
mended that the remainder of Man
churia be declared open to foreign COM
merce. This is only one Of the many
suggestions affecting trade In Man
churia now under consideration in Pc
king.
Advices reaching Washington indi
cate that the insistence upon the un'
conditional restoration Of Manchuria
finds favor from the Chinese capital
and this, 1t is realized, opens up an I'M
portant subject in connection with the
Washington conference.

THE DOG TO KEEP.
For Town Life Preference is Given to
the Fox Terrier.

We talk colloquially of a mans
friend-the dog-a little forgetful OF
the fact that there are nearly 200 dis

and third of that number are in the
United States. And when a person

forgotten, although 1t is one that

since the towns absorb larger por

dog lovers urban as rural. it would be
hard to cut them off from the posses

truly love dogs they will not be crue
to them. and to keep a large dog il

CHANGED HUSBAND.
wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
MY husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
81 thought this was largely due to
the use OF coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so. and be
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
My friend, Mrs. = -, of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home
some months ago, persuaded her TO
use GrapeNuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until it restored her health so com
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siastic friend of Grapefruit that ever
knew She eats 1t with cream or dry,
Just as 1t comes from the package

NEW MINING DISTRICT.

Pursuant to a call by the miners IN
that section of the Funeral range OF
mountains adjoining the Builfrog dis
trict on the south, a meeting was held
yesterday (July 20) for the purpose of
organizing a mining district and elect
ing a local recorder.
The prospectors of that section Of the
country were there enmasse, and amid
the enthusiasm of ~dawning hopes and
allurin prospects, the district was or
ganized and named.
1t will be known as the South Bull
frog district on account of its immedi-
ate proximity to the Bullfrog country,
which, from a geological and topo-
graphical point of view is identical
with it.
Some local rules and regulations were
enacted, and C.. X. Smith of the Death
Valley Mercantile company, at Keane
springs, was elected local recorder
Bullfrog Miner.

o o AIR FOR TRAINS.

Southern Pacific officials are watch
ing with considerable interest expert
ments now being conducted in the east
with a new device designed for the
greater comfort and health of passen-
gers during hot weather.
The device, which is an invention of
an engineer of the Lake Shore & Mich
igan Southern road, is designed to
make travelling over hot and dusty
roads more comfortable than staying
at home. The apparatus, it is claimed,
purifies and cools the atmosphere of the
ear, and is destined to make the cleo
trie fan a mere memory.
1t consists of a huge atomizer, 80
constructed that gusts of cool and
moist air, coming directly from n freez-
ing plant, can be blown out by the ato-
nizer through the ears.
The air is first filtered and then
cooled by being circulated in chilled
pipes. Before being liberated in the
ears it is moistened with sprays of
pure water. It is claimed that the
moisture collects the dust particles and
precipitates them.
If the device proves successful and
practical it may be introduced on the
Southern Pacific system.
