EXPLOSION IN A FRENCH
BATTLESHIP.

PARIS, JAN. 6.
Owing to the bursting of a steam-pipe in
the engine room of the battleship Massena
this afternoon eight Of the engine-room staff
were killed.
The Massena, with two other vessels of
the Second Squadron, left Toulon at 8
o'clock for Biserta. The explosion occurred
when she was almost up to the lies d'Hyeres,
filling the engine-room with scalding steam,
killing three of the engineers, a quartermas-
ter, and four stokers, and doing considera-
BILE damage to the vessel. The squadron at
once stopped and assistance was summoned
from Toulon by wireless telegraphy. In re-
spouse to the appeal several tugboats and
steamers at once set out. The squadron.
however, without waiting for their arrival,
returned and moored off the naval hospital
at st. Mandrier. Times, Jan. 10Th. =
