Responsibility Placed for Disaster on
the Bennington.

the Bennington.
Washington, Aug. 23.-The findings
of the court of inquiry into the Ben
nington disaster suggest courtmar-
tial for Ensign Wade, the only surviv-
ing officer who may be held respon-
sible.
The findings were a complete sur
prise, for they at once set at rest the
stories that had been circulated to the
effect that the Benningtons boilers,
and perhaps those of other naval YES
sells of the same age, were defective.
AS a matter of fact the court found
the explosion resulted from the clos
ing of a valve which connected the
exploded boiler with its steam guage
so that the pressure on the boiler may
have been several hundred pounds to
the square inch when the accident &C.
Cured.
While praise was accorded to the
e officers and crew of the ship for their
conduct during the narrowing scenes
following the accident the officers and
men who were responsible, in the
opinion of the court, are pointed out
and courtmartial proceedings suggest

surviving, Ensign. Charles T. Wade.
