the batuesHls Illinois and Alabama ar

deck they being charged with neglect n
duty iu allowing The Alabama 90 run
ahead OF tine Illinois while dOdginE the

Captain Winslow Exonerated.
The court of inquiry exonerated from
all blame Captain Herbert Winslow
commanding the batueship Kearsarge
which also became involved In the
batJleship mixup on the ground that he
was unavoidably absent from the bridge
of his ship al the time. but recon-
meuds that AIidshipman Roy C.. Smith,
the deck officer of the kearsaTge at the
time of the collision. be reprimanded by
the cOmmander-iu-chi-t of the Atlantic
fleet. No further proceedings are recon-
mended against Capt Godfried Block
liugers commanding the Illinois, or any
officer or man of that vessel the court
expressing the opinion that the Illinois
al the time of the collision was In her
proper position in column, and was
handled with remarkably good Judgment
aud skill when The Alabama suddenly
appeared on her starbOaTd bow with the
evident intention of crossing her track,
Alabama's Officers Blamed.
The court puts all the blame for the
collision on the officers of the Alabama.
The accident which might easily have
resulted iu the complete loss of two or
possibly three Of Uncle Sans most
modern bartleshiDs. was caused, ac-
covding 90 the court by neglect of
duty on the part OF the commanding
officer Of the Alabama. II is thought
probable that Secretary BOnaparte will
order the trial of both these officers.
The opinion is signed by Capt. b. F..
Tilley. president OF the court and Lieut.
Com w. j. Terhune. judge advocate.
No explanation is made as 10 how the
responsibility for the kearsarge, during
Captain Winslow's temporary absence
from the bridge, fell upon a midship-
man. and that feature of the case is
passed over without comment except
that leniency In the shape Of repri-
mand 10 him should be made, owing TO
his lack OF experience.
