Paris, Sept. 25.-News OF the ex.
plosion Of the magazines of the battle
ship Liberte came as a stunning blow
to the French republic and to naval
officials. It is the climax of a long
series of disasters which have marked
the history of the French navy since
the blowing up OF the battleship lena
on March 3, 1907, when 107 men were
killed. The accounts of the disaster
received here during the morning var
led widely. The most authentic dis
patches stated the sinking came near
ly two hours after the discovery OF
fire in the forward hold. Another ac-
count said the ship broke in half from
the force of the explosion and sank 20
minutes later. According to this YER
sion, the battleship afterwards reap
peared at the surface for a time,
grim carcass of iron surrounded by a
tangled mass Of wreckage.

Washington, d. @, Sept 25-Based

naval disaster in Toulon ha-bor, ex.

sion in the Iiberte resulted from spon-

demonstrate absolutely the safety OF
the powder. If subsequent informa-

extent of loss of life on the Liberte,
