10 DEAD, 40 HURT
IN SHIP EXPLOSION
DECKS OF BRITISH STEAMER
CONVERTED INTO A CHAR.
MEL HOUSE.
FIRE FOLLOWS THE EXPLOSION
PRESENCE OF MYSTERIOUS BOX
CAUSES INTERNAL MACHINE
RUMOR.

London, June 16.-Ten men were
killed and about forty were wounded
as the result of a terrific explosion
yesterday on the British steamer
HaverfOrd, of the International Navi-
cation company.
The steam er W5s commanded by
Capt. Nielsen, arrived here from Phil
a%delphia, landed Der passengers and
proceeded to HuskiSSon dock early
yesterday in order 70 unload.
The stevedores were in the act Of
loosening the steamers matches when
suddenly q most violent explosion oc-
Cured. 1t blew off the matches, rent
the decks and hurled the dead and
wounded men in all directions.
Several bodies were dismembered,
and the deck resemb!ed the floor of q
charnel house.
Heard for Many Miles.
The explosion, which was heard for
many miles, and was at first supposed
to have been caused by an Internal
machine, was followed by the out
break of fire. The cargo. consisting of
linSeed oil cake in Hold No. 2 and
Hold No. 3, was soon blazing fiercely.
Firemen and police hurried to the
spot and the injured were quickly
taken to a neighboring hospital, while
the work of searching for further pos
sible casualties proceeded with vigor,
in spite of the ferCeness OF the fire,
which assumed big proportions, ow-
ing to the inhammable nature of the
cargo. After W. hours hard fighting
the firemen obtained the mastery of
the flames.
1t is believed that q number of the
men taken to the hospital will sue
cumb to their injuries.
Supposed Internal Machine.
1t was said that the disaster was
caused by The explosion of a barrel of
naphtha.
The report that the explosion on the
Haverford was due to an Internal ma
chine arose from the finding of a
wooden box, a foot square. in one Of
the holds. This box, which was only
partly shattered, still contained pieces
of steel machinery. 1t was promi-
nently marked, For Manchester.
England" The officials of the Inter-
national Navigation company have
taken charge of the box, but they do
not attach importance to the theory
of foul play. The officials say they
believe the explosion was due to igni-
ton of gas given off by naphtka soap,
which formed part of the cargo.
Outwardly little harm has been
done to the vessel beyond the rents in
the deck. but inside the damage is ex-
tensive. both by the explosion and the
fire.

lily Cured by C%uticura.
81 wish to inform you that the
Cuticura Remedies have put a stop to
twelve years of misery I passed with
my son. AS an infant | noticed on his
body a red spot, and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger ! put him under the care of
doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it grew. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, iniamed and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itching.
When l think of his suffering it near
could be heard down stairs. The
suffering of my son made me full of
misery. l had no ambition to work,
to eat, nor could | sleep. One doctor
told me that my sons eczema was
i%ncurable, and gave it up for a bad
job. One evening | saw an article in
the paper about the wonderful Cuti-
cura and decided to give it a trial.
l tell you that Cuticura Ointment is
worth it's weight in gold; and when
had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time | had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell,
vent, my child was cured. He is now
twelve years old, and his skin is as
fine and smooth as silk. Michael
