AMERICAN SHIP
Officers of Cruiser Gladiator Blam-
ed by Admiralty Court for Strik-
ing the St. Paul.

LONDON. June 20.-President Sir Cor
rell Barnes, OF the British admiralty
court, hsld today that the British cruis-
er Gladiator was responsible for the
collision with the American liner St
Paul, off the Isle Of Wight, April 2.
The officers OF the Gladiator brougu
suit against the owners OF the St Paul
for damages for personal losses sus,
tanned by them in the collision and the
St. Paul put IN a counter claim for dam
ages alleging the responsibility OF the
Gladiato- for the accident.
Jugde Barnes decision upholds this
counter claim The decision declares
that the officers of the Gladiator were
at fault in crossing to starboard in
front OF the St Paul
In the couTt-martial of Captain I.Ins-
den, of the Gladiator, last week. the
court likewise held that the Gladiator
was at fault, and took the captain S
command from him, 1t was decided
then, however, and reaffirmed today,
that the ST. Paul was partially at fault.
