portant statement made yet as to the
ca use of the Bennington explosion was
obtained today from Machinist A. F.
Nelson, the only survivor from the
engine room. 1t will be remembered
that Captain Young in his report on
the trip from Honolulu to San Diego
made to Admiral Goodrich, said the
boilers were not safe with a pressure
exceeding 13O to 1876 pounds. Nelson
was in charge Of the engine last Fri
day when the ship was about to leave.
He says:
Il kept a careful watch on the steam
guage. The pressure went up to 140,
then dropped back to 130 and the en-
gines were turned over once as the
total pressure then was up to exactly
1872 and it was at that figure the mo-
ment the explosion occurred
The supply ship Iris arrived this
morning from Mare Island with three
sets of diving apparatus and four men
from the submarine service to be en-
ployed as divers. They will go down to
inspect the plates Of the Bennington
and determine the advisability of re-
pairs. Officers now believe the snip
can be repaired. No new deaths of
victims were reported today, but three
are in a very serious condition. One

was blazing merrily. The flames fan
ned by strong breeze generated so
much neat that the men could not save
any of the hay and had to stand idly
by and see the big stack go up in
smoke. The hay was worth about SO
a ton and Mr.. Alexander's loss there
fore will amount to over $1,000. He
carried no insurance. The fire is sup
posed to have been caused by light
