DENIES NAVY SHELL KILLED
No Accident Off Mexican Coast,
Saws Admiral Fletcher.

WASHINGTON. March IA report 10 NC
Navy Department from Rear Adn'ia'
Fletcher, commanding the precautionary
feet off vera Cruz, denies the statcmen,
In a dispatch from that place published
in one New York morning newspaper
that a man had been killed ana three
other men injured by the explosion o.
shell fired from one Of the battieships.
Rear Admiral Fletcher saws there is no
foundation for The story. He points out
that the sub-calibrc practice of the
Georgia and the Nebraska, which was
made 10 appear responsible for the al
Legged accident, took place at sea, out OF
sight OF land. and more than twenty-five
miles from La Piedra. where the sheIi

exercised TO see that no boats were In
line of our sub calibre fire or anywhere
near"
He adds that the Nebraska sailed Tor
Tampico at noon yesterday. To permit the
Virginia to 20 down to Vera Cruz TO coal.
Vera Cruz, March 1.-The false report
published in America that one Mexican
fisherman had been killed and three
wounded by shots from the American bat
tleships engaged In target practice OF this
port was based on the fact that some
laborers at Alvarado, thirty miles south
of Vera cruz, had attempted TO break an
unexploded shell from n Mexican gunboat,
with the result that one Of them was
killed and three hurt by the ensuing ex-
plosion. --
The incident occurred before the arrival
here of the American warships, and the
shell was Of a kind not used on American
vessels.
Admiral Fletcher reports that the gun
practice was carried out by the vessels
under his command far outside of the
port of Vera Cruz. and that only short
range guns were used. 1t was impossible
that shore could be reached with the
shells
The arrest by federal soldiers early to-
day of six American seamen from the
Ward liner Monterey. following the firing
of a shot near the Custom House, brought
a vigorous protest against this arbitrary
action OF the military authorities from
William w. Canada. American Consul
here The men were thereupon released
and an apology offered by the military
commander. Evidence showed that they
were all unarmed and sober.
