Bennington Board of Inquiry Recom mends He Be Court-Martlaled. Washington, Aug. 22. Secretary Bonaparte made public the proceed ings and findings of the court of in quiry which investigated the explo sion on tho gunboat Bennington nt San Diego, Cal., on July 21. Tho findings were a completo surprise, for they nt once set at rest the stories that had been circulated to the ef fect that tho Bennington's boilers, and perhaps those of other naval ves sels of the same age, were defective. As a matter of fact the court found tho explosion resulted from the clog ging of a valve which connected tho exploded boiler with Its steam guage, so that the pressure on the holler may have been several hundred pounds to the square Inch when the accident oc curred. The court Is also of the opin ion that D. N. Holland, a flremnn on duty, had made the mistake of shut ting off the valve. The court further finds that Ensign Charles D. Wade of the engineer department of the ship was at fault in falling to see that tho Bteam valves and safety valves were overhauled at tho proper time and kept in good order, having accepted the verbal statements of subordinates that this had been done In March. It Is clear that he was negligent In the performance of his duty and should he brought before a court-mnrtlal. The navy department has not yet acted upon tho proceedings and find ings.

The Tribune says: Venezuela has placed orders In Europe for torpedo boats with guns and ammunition at the cost or about $2,500,0 )0, a larger amount than that little South American republic has ever expended at one time for war materials.
