New York, July 10.-While the At
lantic transport liner Minnehaha, the
largest British ship engaged in the
transport of munitions Of war to the
allies, is making her way to port at
Halifax, after having been turned back
from her course by an explosion and
fire in her cargo, officials Of the line
are making every effort to learn the
details of the accident. 1t is widely
reported to have been caused by a
bomb set by Frank Holt, supposedly
demented peace advocate, who before
taking his life in the Mineola jail,
wrote to his wife that he had placed
a bomb on liner leaving New York.
The Minnehaha sailed Saturday for
Liverpool. When she was $40 miles
southeast of Halifax an explosion In
hold No. 3 set fire to her cargo, and
for time it was feared that her
great supplies of ammunition might be
blown up and the vessel sunk. The
explosive part of her cargo, however,
was stored in a. separate hold, and
after a hard fight the crew extin-
