LIVERPOOL. June 14. Five men were
Instantly killed and, bout forty were
wounded the. result of a terrific ex
plosion today on the . British steamer
Haverford of the International Navigation
company. The vessel, which is commanded
by Captain Nieison, arrived here yesterday
from Philadelphia June 2, landed It pas
sengers and proceeded to Huskisson dock
erly today In. order to unload. The
stevedores were In the act of looenlng the
steamer's hatches, when suddenly a most
violent explosion occurred. It blew off
the hatches, rent the docks and hurled
dead and wounded men In all directions.
Peversl bodies were dismembered and tha
deck resembled the floor, of a charnel
house. The explosion was heard for many
mlleg, end was, according to rumor, caused
by an Infernal mrhlrte. The explosion wa
followed by the outbreak of fire.
The cargo, consisting1 of linseed oil cake,
In hold No. 2 and hold No. 3, wn soon
blazing fiercely.' Firemen and police hur
ried to the spot and the Injured were
quickly taken to a neighboring hospital,
while the woiV of searching for further
Dosslble casualties proceeded with vigor,
In spite of the fierceness 6f the fire, which
sofln assumed alarming proportions, owing
to the inflammable nature of the cargo.
After two hours' hard fight, however, the
firemen obtained the mastery of the flames.
It Is believed that a number of the men
taken to the hospital will succumb to their
Injuries.
The cause of the disaster has not been
ascertalred.
Later it wa said . that the disaster on
hoard the Haverford, was apparently
caused by the explosion of a. barrel of
naphtha. The death list now totnls nine.
range Box Found. .
The report that the xplolon on the
Haverford was due to an Infernal machine
arose from the finding of a wooden box a
foot square In one of the holds. This box,
which was only partly shattered, tlH con
tained piece of steel machinery. It wa
prominently marked. "For Manchester,
England."
The official of the International Naviga
tion company have taken charge of th
box. but they do not attach Importance
to the theory of foul play and say that
the presence of the box In the hold was a
mere accident. The officials say they be
lieve the explosion was due to Ignition of
gas given off "by" naphtha soap, which
formed part of the cargo.
Outwardly little harm has been done to
the vessel, rjeyond rents in the deck, but
Inside the damage Is extensive, both by
the explosion and the fire.
Manager Wlllet of the International line,
after making: an examination of the holds,
accompanied by a chemist, said that at
present it was Impossible to state defi
nitely the cause of the catastrophe. No
explosives of (any kind were on hoard, o
far a known. ' '
Several of the victim of the disaster are
unrecognlxable. One body, was found heart
less and armless an'4 in another cass the
head was picked tip,' but the body had die-,

Appropriation for the National

From a Staff Correspondent.) '
WASHINGTON, June 14. (Speclsl Tele-
gram.) Due largely to the efforts put
forth by Congressman Pollard and Ken
nedy the senate today passed the militia
bill, carrying $1,000,000. After the request
of Adjutant General Culver had been
received to aid wherever possible in pas
sage of the bill, the congressmen, through
Senator Millard, had a conference with
Senator Hopkins of Illinois, who had the
bill passed Just as soon a he got a chance
In the senate.
Speaker Cannon, It is understood. Is
against the bill, while General Morrell Is
in favor of the measure. It waa thought
that if the bill passed the senate it would
take a position on the house calendar.
A it rcarrlea i an appropriation, however.
It will probably be referred to the appro
priation comlttee, In which event the out.
look for the bill at this season 1 exceed
