WASHINGTON, August 21.-The
findings and opinion of the court Of
inquiry which investigated the fatal
explosion on the Gunboat Bennington
were made public today by Secretary
Boneparte at the navy department.
The court expresses the opinion that
the explosion was caused by excessive
steam pressure in boiler B, resulting
in the closing of the valve connecting
the boiler with the steam gauge The
court is also of the opinion that d. N.
Holland, the fireman on duty, had
made the mistake of shutting off the
valves.
The court also finds that Ensign
Charles D. Wade of the engineering
department of the ship, was at fault
in failing to see that the steam valves
and safety valves were overhauled at
the proper time and kept in COOL
order, having accepted the verbal
statement of subordinates that 1nis
had not been done in March,
/ 1t is clear that he was negligent in
the performance of his duty and
should be brought before court mar.
