Striving; to Recover Dead.
Every effort aboard the Bennington today
I bent towards reaching the dead bodies
beneath the steel bulkheads In the closed
and flooded compartments. A fire engine
from the local fire department will be
utilised to pump out the . water which,
during the night and morning periods,
rose still higher In the engine and boiler
rooms. Out of the confusion that fol
lowed the disaster and the work of res
cue come thrilling stories of heroism and
self-sacrifice. The bravery of the crew
was .commented upon by all who had op
portunities to witness the Scenes. Men
who were badly Injured and scalded worked
to rescue those who were worse off than
themselves, and all the special Instances
of heroism of the disaster probably will
not be fully written. The self-sacrificing
effqrts on the part of the physicians and
scores of nurses were also commented on
with praise for all. Every one who could
be made useful at the hospitals was put
to work and those who could not were
asked to return and relieve those who
were accepted.
Fireman E. G. Hopp makes the first
statement as to the cause ot the accident.
He says that shortly before the explosion
one of the boilers was found to be leaking
badly and the boiler man was sent for to
repair the damage. Before the latter come
the explosion occurred. Hopp saw men all
about him killed outright and he himself
was stunned for a moment.
The dead will be given a military burial
Sunday afternoon at the military reserva
tion at Point Loma. Services will be held
at 2 o'clock on the point and the launches
will convey across the bay the living offi
cers and the men able to attend.
An examination of the Bennington
above deck did not disclose any
great damage. The vessel was cov
ered with a gray coating of ashes. The
steam carried a gray colored mud, which
smeared everything, even the sides of the
vessel. Theie were broken gangways and
displaced machinery of a mionr character,
but no serious damage to the main deck
was visible. It was explained by thpse on
board that the wreckage was all below, but
Just hew serious this Is will be determined
only after a more thorough examination
can be made. This cannot be made until the
water has been pumped out and the vessel
righted. Commander Toung declined to
make any official statement for publication.
He said, however, today that he believed
the disaster was caused by the explosion
of boiler "D" on the port side and that
boiler "B" while not exploding hod been
damaged, allowing the steam to escape.
Boilers Win Defective.
Commander Young expressed the opinion
that there was a weak spot In one of the
boilers, but said there had been no visible
defects so far as he knew.
The mtn who were injured. Including En
sign Perry, tell a different story.. They say
that It feas been the talk of the ship at
least slxnonttis that the boilers were de
fective, many of them had; feared for a
long time that Just such an accident would
happen. One of the men said that a year
ago last February, While the ship was at
Magdalena bay, the engineer of the cruiser
New York wss called to Inspect the bolttM
and reported that they were In good condi
tion. While the vessel was In San Fran
cisco lost year the talk of defective boilers
again arose, but no steps were taken to
remedy them.
The upper deck amldshlp presents a moss
of wreckage.
The smokestacks have been blown out of
place and the superstructure Is bent and
twisted In all sorts of shapes. The plates
on the side are bulging out and leaks In a
number of places were letting In the water.
John Turpln. a colored man of the crew,
who was on board the Maine when It was
blown up In Havana, was on board the Ben
nington and again escaped Injury, He ren
dered valuable aid In rescuing the dead and
wounded.
Scenes at Hospital.
8oenes at the hospitals today were trying
to those unused to them. At Agnew sani
tarium thirty-seven men lay swathed In
bandages, many of them having their fea
tures covered with maaxa ot medicated
cotton, with only openings for the mouth
and nostrils. Nearly all suffered Severely
about the hands and neck.
Not mors than three men were In any one
room and the arrangements fur caring for
them were complete In every detail. There
were nurses and to spare. Almost every
one of the poor fellows had a trained nurse
at his bedside who did everything to ease
their pain.
Many physicians, volunteers from capable

Motnlla Will Investigate.
BAN FRANSISCO, July 22 Rear Admiral
McCalla, commandant of the navy yard at
Mare island, upon hearing of the blowing
up of the Bennington's boilers, dispatched
the tug Fortune from Port Harford to San
Diego to assist In the recovery of the bodies.
Bo far he ha received no explanation of
the cause of the accident, but Captain
Drake has Instructions to Investigate the
affair and report upon whrvt he can ascer-
tain regarding the cause.
If Surgeon Smith considers It advisable
the wounded men will be brought here by
special train and the naval hospital Is
being made ready to receive them. Accord
ing to the latest advices from San Diego
the official list of casualties shows forty
one dead, nine of the vlcttme being as yet
unidentified. The list Of wounded numbers
fifty-five, sixteen of whom, including one
unidentified man, are In serious condition.
The only officers Included in the list of
victims of the disaster are Ensign N, K.
Perry, who died from the effects of
his wounds; Ensign Leo Sahm, light
hand was scalded. The latter's Injuries
were dressed by the ship's surgeons and he
did not go to the hospital.
The city of San Diego loaded a Are engine
upon a lighter and ran it alongside the
Bennington where it lies beached, and It
la now being used to pump out the vessel's
engine room. As the vessel now lies
beached It boa a heavy cant to starboard,
and at least fifteen feet of water In Its
hold
The number of men reported missing at
last teports is estimated at from twenty-one
to tweny-flve, and It Is feared that when the
worst Is known the list of dead will be
largely Increased.
A roll call ordered by Commander Young
on board the Bennington some hours after
the explosion showed sixty-one men pres
ent, leaving 136 unaccounted for. These
Included the dead. Injured and missing.
Commander Young believes that some of
the missing men were drowned, and that
their bodies will be found In the bay.
'President Expresses Regret.
OYSTER BAY, July 22. President Roose
velt was greatly shocked at the news of
the disaster to the gunboat Bennington In
the harbor of San Diego. Beyond express
ing profound regret he chose, however,
to reserve expression on the matter until
he should have received complete details.
Commander l'( Reports.
WASHINGTON, July 22. The details of
the explosion on the United Btates gun
boat Bennington at San Diego, as ascer
tained by Commander Luclen Young, ware
received at the Navy department at 11:15
o'clock tonight in a long telegram from
the commander. It appears from the tele
gram that a small leak had been discov
ered In boiler B and the botlermaker was
on hit, way to repair It and was passing
through the engine room when the explo
sion occurred. The dispatch follows:
SAN DIEGO. Cal., July 21-Secretary of

ALLOWANCES TO ELEVATORS
Commerce Commission Investigating Com
plaints of St. Louis Grain Men.
CHARGE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CITY
Alleae that Omaha and Kansas City
Are Given an In fair A4rsstsg
Railway Traflle Men
Examined.
ST. Lori8, July a. The elevator allow
ance question, which Is deemed one of vital
Importance to Bt. Louis grain dealers, re
reived an exhaustive hearing by the Inter
state Commerce commission today.
Chairman Martin A. Knapp, Francis M.
Cockrell and Judson C. Clements of the
commission sat at the hearing, which was
attended by many prominent officials of
western railroads and leading grain dealers
of 8t. Louis. Chicago, Kansas City and
other large cities.
The hearing was brought about by com
plaints of the transportation committee of
the Merchants exchange of St. Louts. The
St. Louis grain dealers claim that the ele
vator allowances alleged to be granted at
Kansas City and Omaha, but not In St.
Louts, constitute an unfair discrimination
against this market and make competition
with the two western points Impossible.
The railroad men who testified were for the
most part In favor of abolishing the trans
fer allowances.
Asked point blank by the commissioners
what they thought should" be done, nearly
all the witnesses stated that the elevator
allowances should be either abolished or so
adjusted that all cities could benefit by
them, and be placed upon an equal basis
In doing business.
Bays Custom gtarted In Omaha.
O. H. Crosby, freight traffic manager of
the Burlington road, testified that the Bur
lington Railroad company Is not In favor
of concessions, but has to make them be
cause competing lines do. He said that a
contract between the Union Pacific and an
Omaha elevator company started the thing
going and other roads had to' fall into Una.
J. T. Hafahan, second vice president of
the Illinois Central railroad, testified that
his road makes elevator allowances at
East St. Louis, Memphis and Cairo, III.
A charge Is made for elevation of export
grain at New Orleans. Mr. Harahan said,
emphatically, that he believed elevator al
lowances under the conditions now exist
ing were a mistake. He declared that
they should be wiped out and not granted
at any point. Belief that the concessions
would aid In prompt release of cars, he
said, was one of the motives for granting
them In the first place.
Discrimination Against Cnlcasro.
George F. Marcy of the Armour Grain
company, Chicago, and president of the
Southwestern Elevator company, Kansas
City, stated that the elevator allowances
were detrimental to the grain trade, to the
railroads and to the public at large. He
said he believed that If continued they will
lead to demoralization In the business.
Chicago, he declared, was discriminated
against, with the result that business Is
being diverted from there.
Mr. Frasler of Sartlett, Frasler & Car-
rlngton, a grain firm of Chicago, was not In
favor of abolishing elevator allowances.
Samuel Scottoen of Chicago, a grain
dealer, said that all shippers desire to be
placed upon the same basis, and If such a
bfytis can be secured with allowances In
effect, he saw no cause for their abolish
ment. Otherwise they should be discon
tinued. Not all the witnesses were examined at
today's session and a recess was taken
until Monday.

Rumor that Esroy 1 La r inn" Pinna
for an Alllanee Between
R-..1. ... j.p...
f v
PARIS. July U.-Tbe Russian i
IpotenUary had a two hours talk with
Premier Rouvler todav an
' " - ICUDIVVQ
In audience by President Loubet at Elysee
imc. no autnorltatlve statement was
given out concerning either meeting. One
report Is that M. Rouvler and M. Wltte
went over the prospective peace negotia
tions, dwelling particularly on the Influence
France could exert on Great nH(oi
Indues the latter to moderate the Japanese
aemanaa. it is also the accepted view that
M. Wltte la favorable to a Russo-Japanese
understanding by which lasting peace In
the far easr would be secured. The pros
pects ot mis understanding are regarded
aa one of the chief means bv which r n, n
may be induced to abate the severity of its
concimons, particularly on the question
of Indemnity. The FYench officials speak
favorably of such an understanding h
conclusion of which besides benefiting Rus
sia and Japan, would strengthen France
In the far east as the ally of Russia and
Great Britain aa the ally of Japan.
Among M. Wltte s callers at the hotel
wers some of the leading financiers con
nected with previous Russian loans. How
ever, M. Witts has no need of sounding
financial sentiment as he has been com
pletely advised on this' subject through the
representatives of the Russian Finance de
partment and by the Parisian branch of
the Russian-Chinese bank, of which he
was one of the chief organisers. It Is
recalled that M. Rouvler's cautious atti
tude contributed to limit further French
Investments In Russian securities. When
the last Russtan loan was attempted, how
ever, M. Rouvler's caution was not dus
to any hostility towards Russia, but solely
to hostility to a continuance of the war.
He shares In this respect the general view
of the Bnanrlers here, one of whom re
marked: "Russia Is able to secure all the
Frstifh money she wants to make peace,
but not a centime' to make war."
After Me conference with M. Rouvler and
his visit to M. Loubet, M. Wltte passed
the rest, of the afternoon In returning the
visits of personal friends.
POLICE REFUSED ADMISSION
It. Louts Officers Ordered to Delmnr
Race Track by Governor Folk
Kept Oat by Onteman.
8T, LOUIS, July 22,-For the first time
since the antt-pool selling law went Into
effect. Governor Joseph W. Folk today
took an active part In the effort to sup
press the alleged violations of the law at
the Delmar race track.
Acting under his direct orders a force
of seventy-five city policemen tinder tho
personal command of Chief ,of Police Klely,
visited the race course snd after a brief
parley with the gatekeepers, who refused
them admission, encamped about the en
trance, while A. C. Stewart, president of 1
the St. Louis Board of Police Commission
ers. Chief Klely and Chief of Detectives
Desmond, bought tickets and entered the
grounds.
The police officials were met by officials
of the track and together with the letters'
attorneys held a consultation. Chlf Klely
announced that no arrests would be made
unless he saw evidences that the law
was being violated.
The police remained at the track until
after the last race and then returned to
their reserve station houses. No arrests
were made.
The fact that Governor Folk had ordered
out the city police was given wide publi
cation early In the day and there was an
air of unusual quiet In the vicinity of the
betting ring.
The Delmar track Is located In St. Louis
county, just west of the city limit, and
the question of the authority of the gov
ernor to use the city police force In the
county Jurisdiction has been freely agi
tated for several days, but the action of
Governor Folk was taken after seeking
legal advice.
As the result of a conference held over
the long distance telephone with A. C.

The Japanese armies at present occupy
the position of an Immense sickle with the
handle reaching from a few miles south
of Llao Yang and passing through Chan
tafu, the blade circling northward toward
Klrln, with the tip on the Corean coast
south of I'osslet bay. It Is estimated that
General Nogl has eight batalllons, General
Oku sixty. General Nodsu thirty-six. Gen
eral Kurokl 160, General Kamimura ninety,
and General Hasegawa 120, the battalions
averaging 1,000 men. which makes the nu

and about 100 siege guns. The Japanese

of General Oklhara. The rains this year
have been less heavy than usual and It will

expected. Japanese cruisers are making

PROBING THE MUTINY
(Continued from First Page.)
served merely to add fuel to the flamea.
In this manner discipline had been under
mined, and when efforts have been made
to support It brutality In some Instances
has no doubt been resorted to In the belief
that Incipient mutiny could only be checked
by showing a determined front. Harsh acts
of this kind were frequent on board the
Kolas Petemklne previous to the outbreak.
All naval officers are well aware of the
fact that when once the spirit of mutiny
has gained possession of the crew of a
ship It Is difficult to suppress It. In simitar
cases affecting the" military the regiments
can be broken up and ordered to new
scenes and tne cnange io new positions ,
almost invariably nas tne erreci or ma King
the men forget past misfortunes. But
when men are dissatisfied with a ship It
appears to be almost Impossible to prevent
It from running Us course. Besides this, j
the revolutionists and socialists had many I
sympathisers among the members of the I
crew and the evidence collected since the
outbreak shows that revolutionary lltera- ;
ture had been secretly circulated until al- I
most every man on board the ship appeared I
to be In personal revolt against the gov-
ernment of the czar. I
There was a minor mutiny last summer, I
which, however, was quelled with great ,
rigor, and In January of the present year
the shipbuilding yard at Bebastopol was
set on fire, seriously damaging two war- !
ships which were being built for the Rus- !
slan navy. It Is now believed that the I
same causes which brought about the
latest mutiny of the Black sea fleet was
responsible for these earlier dlsaffectlons,
almost forgotten during the march of
events In the orient.
Comments of Japanese.
TOKIO, July 22. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The comments of the Japanese
newspapers upon the mutiny at Odessa
are Interesting In the extreme. For In
stance, the 'Nlehl Nlchl Shlnbun says:
"When the truth Is revealed It will be
found that Admiral Rojestvensky deserves
great praise for maintaining command of
his crews and navigating his fleet as far
as the Corean strait. Under the circum
stances It was a notable achievement."
Continuing, the Nlchl Nlchl 8hlnbun
says: "Ao an Indication of the conditions
existing In the Russian army and navy,
the mutiny Is suggestive. It shows com
plete demoralization and lack of discipline
In the military service, which Is regarded
as the cornerstone of .the autocracy. This
event and the refusal of a regiment to
fire upon the unarmed populace of Poland
are exceedingly ominous signs of the com
ing revolution. What Is left for the au
tocracy to stand upon? If the cxar Is
wise he will now, while It Is possible by
a bold and steadfast policy of reform,
yet save his state from a tremendous up
heaval. It looks as If he, like Louis XVI
of France, will not be wise, and this makes
the Japanese consequently pessimistic as
to the future of Russia."
The Hochl says: "We sympathise with
our enemy's country In the calamity that
has befallen It. It Is nevertheless, certainly
the result of the accumulated wickedness
of Russian despotism. It alone is to blame.
Through the destruction of Its fleets in the
far east Russia had only the Black sea
fleet left."
Ths Chuwo Shlnbun remarks that the
mutiny Is an outburst of Russian dissatis
faction through ths medium of the navy.
The people can no longer bear the cruelty
of their despotic government. This time
the disturbances are a serious factor for
the Russians. The Journal hopes that the
csar will repent and save his nation from
utter self-destruction.

LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE WINS
Kansas City Corporation Secures Dl
solatlon of Injunction Drought
by Independent Dealers.
KANSAS CITY, July 2.-Jurtge Blover
today sustained a demurrer In the suit of
twenty-five independent live stork dealers
against the Kansas City Live Stock ex
change and the Traders' I.lve Stork ex
change, and dissolved a temporary Injunc-'
tlon that was In force. The suit was an
application for an Injunction brought by
live stock dealers who were not members
of either exchange and was to dissolve both
oxchangoa upon the theory that they were
trusts, and was to prevent the two ex
changes from boycotting Independent deal
ers. The suit was similar to one brought by
John J. Oladdlsh against the Kansas City
I.lve Stock exchange. The Gladdish suit
was decided recently by the Kansas City
court of appeals In favor of the exchange,
the court declaring that the exchange was
not a trust nor a combination In restraint
of trade, but that Its purposes were to be
commended and that It had a right to re
fuse to deal with others.
The rulings In the Gladdish case wers
followed by Judge Slover.
