Accident Occurs During the
Naval Maneuvers off
ProvinCetoWn.
TWO PLATES BADLY
JANfNIED; SHIP BEACHED
Dynamo and Parts of Boiler Com
partments FlOOded-Members of
Crew Stunned by Impact of Steel
Monsters-Bonita Causes Damage
But Escapes Injury-Divers are at
Work-Niay BE an Investigation.

North Truro, Mass, July IA
corps of divers are working today on
the hull Of the beached gunboat Cas-
tine. which was rammed by the SUBJ
marine Bonita in Yesterdays flotilla
maneuVers off Provncetown. Should
the damage be found more extensive
than it is believed, a special wreck
ing crew will be sent from the New
port Torpedo station to assist. 1t is
probable an official investigation will
be made. 1t is believed the comman-
der of the Bonita misjudged distance.
After the accident the bunboat was
beached as she was filling slowly.
Two of the plates of the Castine
were loosened. Her dynamo and parts
of her boiler compartments are flood
ed. but the bulkheads are said to hold
ing firm. The accident occurred dur
ing a mimic attack on. the Castine by
the submarines. The Bonita appar-
emily misjudged the distance and
struck the gunboat with considerable
force. The men on both boats felt
the impact and some were momentar-
lily stunned but no one was injured
The Bonita escaped with the slight
denting of a portion of her armor
and the loss of a small section of her
railing.
The officers of the ships in collision
VIII not discuss the matter. The So
called attack" on the Castine was
unexpected. Several members of the
crew were in swimming when the Bo-
nita suddenly rose beneath the gun
boat and as she came up, scraped
her whole length across the bottom OF
the Castine. Water poured into the
lower engine room and the dynamo
room compartments of the Castine
flooding them and threatening to eX-
tinguish the fires under the boilers.
The doors of the water tight compart-
ments were closed and the Castine
started full speed for shore She
reached the beach under her own
steam and rested easily in shallow
water. All the crew remained on
board.
The Castine carried eighty men.

special interests. on the other hand
the progressives are the aggressive
leaders and representatives of the
people. The country owes a dept Of

Berlin, July 12.-Germany threw
down the gauntlet to the United States
today, saying she intends to do as she
pleases in South and Central Ameri-
ca. Shortly after handing the United
Press a conciliatory statement, high
officials held secret conference and
then gave out a second statement say
ing that il was the present German
attitude. Germany refuses to recog-
nize any right on the part of the
United States TO supervise her diplo-
matte relations with other countries
in Central and Southern American in
general and Nicaragua in particular.
Germany's recognition of President
Madriz Is matter concerning her
self and Nicaragua and concerning no
third person or power whatsoever" +"
Many construe the second statement
as Germany's first step toward re-
fusing to further recognize the Mon
roe doctrine.
Attaches at the foreign office feel
that Secretary of State Knox has been
presumptious in publishing the Kais-
er's letter to Madriz. The government
os awaiting developments at Wash
hHb''h Government newspapers to-
day are under instructions to empha-
sise Germany's right to maintain any
relations she sees fit in South Am
erica without consulting the United
States. The Vossiche Zeitung. the
government organ. in an inspired ar
ticle says Whether the United
States or any other government rec
ognizcs or refuses TO recognize Ma
driz is a matter of supreme indiffer-
ence to the German government"
