Captain r. $. A. Claret early last
night reported the steamer $40 miles

was not serious and had been confined
TO her No. 3 hold.
The Minnehaha carried no passen-
gers, according TO officials Of the line
The Mlnnehaha cleared from New

pool. The Atlantic Transport Offices
today refused 10 confirm the informa-
ton regarding her war cargo. But
II was pointed out here that no mem
tion was made Of the vessels depar-
ture in ordinary lists of sailngs. The
liner, probably to safeguard herself
against submarine attack, slipped
quietly out Of the harbor
The first report that flashed
through shipping Offices here i'm
mediately revived the declaration Of
Frank Holt, Morgan assailant and
terrorist, that he placed a trunk Of
explosives aboard a big steamer clear
ing for England on Saturday. An
other theory was that the Minnehaha
might have been fired by one of the
band of German spies known to be
contemplating close watch on the de-
parture of ammunition-laden steamers
from this port.
c. W. Thomas of the company
confirmed the report that the

the Saxonia or the Philadelphia, sail

The Minnehaha, IL was learned this
afternoon, was originally scheduled
TO depart for Liverpool on Saturday.
Delay in placing in her hold about
$4,000 tons of war munitions caused
a postponement OF her departure un-

have known Of this at the time he
wrote his letter only officials of the
line being fully apprised of the YES

Officials of the Atlantic Transport
line, while admitting that the theory
that Holt was responsible for the fire
aboard the munitions carrier was
strengthened by Captain Claret's lat
est message, still doubted the story.
They refused to suggest what might
have started the fire. pending a de-
tailed report from the ships COM
