To Investiaate Launch Disaster.

BY our own Wire Publishers Presa
WASHINGTON. June 19.-Rear Ad-
miral Emory the senior officer at
Hampton Roads just now, to-day
brought TO the Navy Departemnt the
report OF the Board OF Inquiry which
Investigated the recent deplorable ac-
cident TO the steam launch Of the bat
tleship Minnesota. which resulted in
the drowning Of the six young naval
officers and five seamen. II is the opin-
ion of the board tat te launch was
struck by the steel hawser OF the tug
boat Crisneld. which was towing a
float OF railroad cars from Cape
Charles to NORFOLK at just about the
time the accident occurred. The re-
port Of the board places no blame upon
the crew Of the tug, none Of whom was
aware that any accident had occurred
until the next day.
Secretary Metcalf Is not altogether
satisfied with this report. and he has
ordered a further investigation. Pho
tographs Of the launch taken since II
has been raised. show a big hole near
the stern, and nearer the keel than the
gunwalcs. General ulrich, chief SUI
pervisor Of steamboats,, who has made
a critical inspection that I'm the heavy
seas which were running on the night
of the action, the launch was thrown
upon one Of the acetylene gas buoys,
which light the Roads at night. These
buoys are big affairs Of iron. and weigh
several tons. II the light launch was
brought down by the force of a heavy
sea on the framework Of such struc-
ture. # would result in just such an
injury as has been discovered. This
theory is further supported by the fact
that the launch was found only 200 feet
away from a buoy.
