Navy Department Sends Connecticut
 to Trace Missing Liner Ponce.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The navy department has telegraphed instruc- tion to Captain Swift. commanding the battleship Connecticut. which sailed from Hampton Roads for the island of Culebra, off the coast of Porto Rico, to do everything possible to discover some trace of the missing steamship Ponce, now nine days overdue at New York from Porto Rico.
 Captain Swift has arranged his cruise so as to have the Connecticut pass through the waters where the Ponce may be drifting in the daylight hours. for he believes that the vessels that have arrived at New York from Porto Rico without having seen the Ponce may have passed her in the night.
 That while running at full speed in fog or shrouded in a night mist the steamship Ponce crashed into sunken derelict and went to the bottom with her crew of fifty-two men and seven passengers Is the belief of Captain Hunt. the naval officer in charge of the local photographic office.
 Nine treacherous derelicts have been located in the path of coastwise traffic of Capes Henry and Hatteras within the past few weeks. and it is upon one of these that Captain Hunt believes the Ponce crashed. driving a hole in her bottom that caused her to sink.
