 Cause of Fire Unknown.
 T can picture it now. It seemed likeNa great column of fire 50 feet high and 20 feet across, topped by another feet higher. came up from the sea, completely enve1oping the ship. It was. several minutes before the smoke cleared away and the sea became calm but when it did there was no sign of either the ship or the barge that was alongside of it. They both seemed to have disappeared complete ly and not a sign of life was visible"
 How the fire started in the coal bunkers of the Alum Chine is so far a mystery. Some have aScribed it tU spontaneous combustion, while one of the rescued declares he saw a fellow stevedore stick a bale hook into a box of dynamite. This exp fanation seems improbable. Had such an incident oc- cured there would have been an i'm mediate explosion.
 Property Loss Placed at 5000, GOO.
 Conservative estimates place the ac tuaI property damage in excess u SG00,000. In addition there are innu- merable minor losses which are not considered and cannot be estimated.
 The chief losers are the owners Of the Alum Chine which cost in the neiehborhood of $375.000.
 Upon the Maryland Steel company builders of the collier Jason. devolves the next greatest loss. While a thor ough survey may result in finding very serious defects in her construction. T superficial examination of the colIiec Jason indicates a dannare of $100, 900 To this amount can be added the ex- pense of getting the collier ready for her official test.
 The cargo of the Alum Chine has not been entirely accounted for, but from figures eiven out by the fntereste1 slippers this loss will entail nearly $10o0 900
 A Special investi1ation.
 The Joseph R. Foard company stat ed that the only cargo they had on board was the dynanite which was valued at about $70.8o0.
 In an effort to render assistance to the boats that are searching the waters for the bodies of those killed by the explosion, and to ascertain the number of casualties, Mayer Preston left for the scene of the accident en the city tug late today, after a special investi. gatian of the board of estimates.
