Inquiry in Progress.

Aboard the battleship Missouri a
careful inquiry is ID progress to de-
teTmine the extent of the damage done
yesterday when the high pressure cyl
inder head of the port engine cracked
and blew out. 1t is feared that il will
be some time before the damaged parts
can be replaced. A fire in the plant of
the Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany, where the Missouri was con-
structed, destroyed some of the detail
ed plans of the engines. year and
a half ago, it is said, and this will re-
suit in a long delay. In the meantime
the disabled cylinder viii be cut out of
the triple expansion engine. which will
be compounded to a two-cylinder basis.
This will enable the Missouri to keep
up the required cruising speed from
Santa Barbara TO San Francisco. 1t is
possible that the Missouri will be left
at Mare Island while the other ships
go to Puget sound the latter part of
May.
