THE KEARsARGE DISASTER.
Admiral Evans View of the Probable
Cause

cablegram from Rear Admiral Evans
commanding the Atlantic fleet, from Cal
manera. Cuba, forecasts the probable find
ing of the court of inquiry which is now in
progress to ascertain the cause of the ex-
plosion on the Kearsarge and fix the re-
sponsibility. He says that the accident was
probably caused by fused metal from an
electric switch. which was short circuted
by the accidental contact with shell ex-
tractor during the operation of withdraw
ing a charge from a gun after the COM
pletion of target practice.
The extractor referred to in the dispatch
is eight feet in length, and Is never kept
in the turrets, but is passed in from above
only when needed to draw a charge. So 1t
is regarded as one of the most singular
accidents in naval records, but still one
impossible in the very latest type of bat
tleship, owing to the improvement in cleo
tricaI appliances in the last few years.

But about one h11dred and seventy

issued in excess of the price for which
the Courthouse was contracted, for

received absolutely nothing. The
county orders to this amount are
neither legal moi moral debts against
