BOMB IN SHIPS HOLD
THREE DIE; SCORE HURT
L'uerpool Strikers Blamed for the
arcadia Explosion at Philadelphia.
LRy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Philadelphia, June 20.-The explosion CT a
bomb or Internal machine in the hold of the
Hamburg American freight steamer Arcadia. at
its dock in this city this morning, caused the
death of three negro stevedores. the injury of
more than score of others and the partial
wrecking of the steamer.
The discovery that the explosion was caused
by an Internal machine not made until late
this afternoon when unmistak kabIe evidence
of its presence was found. The bodies of
the victims We're punctured with nails forced
into them by the impact of the explosion.
1t was then recalled that there had been a dock
strike at Liverpool, whence the ship cleared, and
that there had been some violence among the
strikers 1t is believed that the bomb was
placed on board to destroy the ship at sea. but
that for some reason 1t failed to explode until
a little hour after the vessel docked
here, and the work of discharging the cargo had
begun.
1t at first believed that the explosion was
caused by spontaneous combustion, the cargo
was made up partly of naphthol and potash, but
these would hardly explode spontaneously it is
said
Immediately after the explosion fire broke out
in the hold of the vessel and is still burning.
The craft is filled with water from fire engines
and has settled the bottom of the Delaware
at her dock.
There is much rivalry among the captains of
the various tugs, as each one to get a line of
hose aboard the Arcadia will have claim for
salvage. The report that the Arcadia carried a
cargo of fireworks which caused the explosion
denied by B. F. Young, general agent of the
steamship line.
Chief Officer Kruger of the Arcadia went
into the hold Immediately after the explosion,
His arms were burned and his hair, beard and
eyebrows singed. He was bandaged and
went with his duties.
William Brown. of No. II Christian street,
was working a stevedore in the hold and is
one of the injured at the Pennsylvania Hospital.

deck" he said. I've were discharging cork in

that seemed to shake the whole vessel. Every
