L0ADOF AMMUNITION BURNED
Loose Powder Afre Creates Exeiteme mt
In Navy Ynrd-Jackies Saved
supply ship.

New York. July o'.-Intense excitement
prevailed for a time at the Brooklyn navy
yard to-day when an ammunition lighter
which was berthed alongside the supply
ship Culgoa caught fire from some UNI
known cause and was destroyed almost
completely together with her ammuni-
ton, after being towed out In midstream.
The Culgoa was only slightly damaged.
The ammunition, which was In the form
Of powder. flashed up and burned. but
being in unsealed cans did not explode.
When the fire broke out the bluejackets
in the yard We're rushed into service as
fire fighters. They were very busy for
a few moments and their energetic efforts
probably saved the Culgoa from destruc-
ton The lighter. II was soon seen, could
not be saved and tugs managed 10 get
line to her and towed her clear into
the river where the flames had pretty
much their way with her despite many
streams of water played upon her.
| The damage to the Culgoa. owing to the
prompt work Of the tackles. was confined
to the scorching of her side.

ODD PLAN TO RAISE MAINE
builder of North River Tunnel Thinks
He Could DO II In Three Months
with Cable Cradle.

Washington. July 26-John F.
O'Rourke. the engineer who brdged
the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and
the North river. Yesterday laid before
Acting Secretary of War oliver his
plan for raising the Maine from the
mud of Havana harbor. Brigadier-
General Bixby. chief of engineers,
was called in to hear it.
The ORourke plan will be referred
to an army board OF engineers, and
should 1t be adopted his patents Will
be protected. he was assured.
O'Rourke's plan Is based on a sys-
TEN of pneumatic caissons. No divers
are used nor pontoons. 1t is proposed
to swing the Maine in n cradle of
powerful cables and lift her complete
ly out of the water so that com
plete inspection of her hull will be
possible.
While the ship is suspended above
water Mr.. O'Rourke says. she can be
repaired as readily as If she were in
dry dock. and after being relaunched
from the cable cradle she can leave
Havana harbor under her own steam.
This is said to he the first plan yet
proposed which would present the
ship to a naval board In precisely the
same condition as she sank on the
night of February II, 1898.
| First a wharf of piles would be built
| on either side of the submerged wreck.
| Then between the wharves and the hull
| l2 pneumatic caissons would be sunk-six
on each side. 4 hundred ltttle tunnels
would he driven through the mud under
the Names keel between the opposite
caissons and through each tunnel pow
erfu steel cable would be run and car
ried up the outside OF the caisson to the
wharf above So there would be steel
cable under the hull every four feet and
the aggregate of all would be capable OF
| raising four times the weight OF the
wreck. which Is about 1000 tons.
Each cable end would be attached TO
system of steel screw rods and the screw
jack principle would be employed. one
thousand men would operate the hand
screws, and by every man turning q
lever at given signal the hulk would
be pulled up In the cradle of cable In
| practically the same way rs the pyra
mids of Egyprare supposed to have beer
built by man power
Once swung above the water line the
gap between the wharves would h'
bridged. and the engineers would worf
under and around the hull. When re
paired she could be let down into tn
water by reversal of the process by
which she was raised.
Mr.. ORourke believed that the jo'
could be done in three months.
