Missiouri Wreaks
Deadly Carnival.
Twenty-nine Marines Hurled
Into Eternity While Doing
Target Practice Off
Pensacola.
A Pensacola, -Fla., special says: By
the explosion of 2,000 pounds of powder
in the after ^.2-inch turret and in
the handling room of the battle ship
Missouri, Captain William S. Cowles,
commanding, twenty-nine men were in->
stantly killed and five injured, uu
of whom will die.
The: Missouri .was on the target
range with the Texas and Brooklyn at
practice about nobn when a charge of
powder in the 12-inch' lefthand gun exploded,
igniting four charges of powder
in. the handling room, all exploded
and only one man of the entire turret
and handling crew survives.
But for the prompt and efficient work
of Captain William S. Cowles in flooding
the handling, room and magazine
with water, one of the magazines
would have exploded and the ship
wpulct coilsequently have been destroyed
with every man on board.
At' the time of the explosion the
fourth shot was being loaded and from
indications the first half of the charge
had been rammed home and the second
section was being rammed home
when gases from the shot previously
fired or portions of th ecloth cover ignited
the powder.
The breech was open and a dull
thud gave notice of something unus
ual. No loud report was maae, dui
flames were seen to leap from every
portion of the turret. A few seconds
afterwards another explosion somewhat
more fierce occurred. This was
in the handling room below, where 1,
' 600 pounds of powder or four charges
ready to be hoisted above and ignited
Three minutes after the explosion
ali were on deck and the surgeons
from.the Missouri, Texas and Brooklyn
were attending to those ^ot dead.
The twenty-five men of the turret
were fcund lying in a heap. They had
. started for the exit when the first explosion
occurred and had just reached
there when the more terrible explosion
in the handling room occurred which
hurned and strangled them to death.
Bodies Terribly Mangled.
The bodies were hardly recognizaDle,
the terrible and quick fire having
burnt clothing from the bodies of the
men, and the fiesh hung from them in
shreds. The faces were mutilated by
the smoke and flames. Only one man
was breathing when the turret crew
was rescued, and he died a moment
after he reached deck.
In lets than five second after the
first explosion two streams of water
were being played in the rooms, and
when volunteers were called for every
man of the ship responded and" were
eager to go into the turrets and rescue
the crew.
The second explosion occurred near
one of the magazines and so hot was
the fire that the brass work of the
magazines was melted. Siaoke and
the fumes of the burned powder made
it almost impossible to enter either
the turret or the handling room, but
officers and men, with handkerchiefs
over their faces, made efforts to rescue
the men inside.
Before the fumes of the burning
t powder had left the turret officers and
men were in lifting the dying and dead
men.

DEATH LIST THIRTY-TWO
i
Three More Men Dead as Result of
Explosion on Missouri?How Big
Warship Was Saved.
Three more seamen who were injured
in the terrible explosion on
board the battle ship Missouri at tarj
get practice off Pensacola, Fla., are
dead as a result. The total ist 01 aeau
now numbers thirty-two, one man having
expired Wednesday night and two
Thursday. It is hardly probable that
other deaths will occur.
There is also one man of the turret
crew missing from the ship. It is the
general opinion that he was either
blown overboard or else escaped from
th6 turret by jumping overboard, being
crazed with pain and with the excitement
that then prevailed on the
ship he was not missed.
The funeral of seventeen of the seamen
occurred Thursday afternoon and
each ship of the fleet was represented.
Fully five thousand men were
present, while thousands from the city
of Pensacola were in attendance., every
place of business being closed for
tile afternoon and flags over all buildings
placed at half-mast.
The bodies of the officers and eigh*
of the seamen were shipped to their
former homes, and the others are being
held to await advices from relatives.
. The Missouri will not conclude her
target practice, but will go to * Ne^v
York to be docked as soon as the court
of inquiry makes its findings.
The damage to the battle ship is

In addition to the large amount of am
munition ruined by the magazine be
ing flooded, which will amount tc
thousands of dollars, the after turrel
is also badly injured, the top being
burned away, and all br^ss work melt
eci inside. The hoist is a charred
mass, and the mechanism of the guns
completely ruined. The damage real
ized from the explosion will -react
$50,000. This is the estimate placed
uron it by some naval officers.
The entire navy department is stunned
by the appalling catastrophe.
. That the newest battle ship of the
navy had a narrow escape from both
being blown to pieces by the explosior
of a magazine and also be'ng beached
came to light Thursday.
Captain Cowles prevented the lattei
when the vessel was within 250 yards
of the beach by giving orders that the
ship's course be changed, and Chiel
Gunner's Mate Monson saved the shir
and the lives of over six hundred mer
by closing the open magaz ne.
When the first explosion occurred ir
the turret the men in the handling
room knew in an instant what had oc
curred. The big magazine door was
open and standing against it were; foui
charges of powder. Without u mo
ment's hesitation Monson shoved thess
aside and jumped into the turret anc
pulled the door closed after him. Ths
magazine was totally flooded with wa
ter and when the men opened the dooi
they found Monson barely alive, watei
having reached his neck.

' HASTY RETREAT BY RUSSIANS.

I vance, consisting of cavalry, infantr:
! and artillery, entered WijU and drovi

/
, I far as injury to the ships or fortifications
is concerned. The loss of life
was insignificant. The mystery of the
, sinking o'.' the battle ship Petropavlovsk
has not been cleared up.
That she touched a mine placed by
- Japanese torpedo beats during the
. night is not officially admitted, but
there is a growing disposition in unoffi;
cial quarters to accept this as possi
blv being the true explanation. That
. the mine was laid by a ruse of the
, Japanese is generally believed, although
some speculation is indulged
in, which may almost be described as
- fantastic.
. . For example, the possibility of the
introduction of an infernal machine
; into the coal bunkers is advanced as
an explanation of the explosion which
. i undoubted-iy occurred on. board the
. I battle ship.
m The only thing affirmed "with abso:
lute certainty is that it was not a Jap;

; Decoyed Russian Ships.
Advices from- .Tokio state that the
i i Japanese are elated over the successes
I they have met at Port Arthur. They
are also proud of the achievement of
. Vice Admiral Togo, particularly of his
new strategy in countermining the ene.
iny's harbor and decoying them across
! this field of mines to an equally dani
gerous flank attack.
1 The success of the system of placing
deadly counter mines is due large
. ly to a series of careful observations
i made by the Japanese during their
; pievious attacks on Port Arthur. The
I Japanese saw the Russian fleet leave
i the harbor and return to it several
i times, and they discovered that the
Russian warships followed an identical
, course every time they came out or
: went in, evidently for the purpose of
. avoiding their own mines. The Japr
auese took bearings on this course.
V.'hen the destroyer divisions of the
. Japanese torpedo flotilla laid the coun;
ter mines during the night of April
I 12-13, they placed them along this
> course. The laying of these counter
. mines was exceedingly perilous, be- i
: cause if any Japanese boat with mines !
on bohrd had been struck by a lucky
j Russian shot, she would have been
I annihilated.
I The weather of the night of April
12-13 favored the work. There was a
heavy rain, the night was dark and
clcudy - and the Russian searchlights
playing over the channel failed to re?
yeal the presence of the Japanese de>
stroyers.
Rear Admiral Dewa was in com
mand of* the Japanese squadron which
5 decoyed the Russian ships over the
J field of mines. His squadron consisti
el of the cruisers Chitosa. Yoshino,
tvoeiori Qnfi TnVnfinen all unarmored
. vessels, which presented a tempting
> bait for the heavier Russian ships.
i Expressions of regret at the death
; of Vice Admiral Makaroff are general
in Tokio. Speaking for
Commander Ogasawara has published
a lengthv statement, in which he laments
the death of the Russian vice
arfmirai, and pronounces it to be a loss,
i to the navies of the world.
Adm iral Togo's Report,
i Admiral Togo reports that during
, the attack on Port Arthur Tuesday
night the Japanese sunk mines at raidi
' night and at 8 in the morning drew.
; the Russian ships out 1" miles from
> the port. The PetroDivlovsk struck a
Japanese mine and was sunk.

Forty-Five Russians Meet Death.
Battleship Pobieda Runs Upon
Mine and is Damaged.
An Associated Press dispatch says:
It was officially announced in St. Pe- j
tersburg Thursday that the torpedo j
boat destroyer, Beztrashni, was cut off
from the rest of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur and sunk by the Japanese;
that her crew was lost, and
that the battle ship Pobieda accidentally
struck a mine while maneuvering,
but was able to return to the harbor
without loss of life.
The Bezstrashni was sent out dur- !
ing the night to reconnoiter. She separated
from the rest of the fleet owing
to the bad weather prevailing and
was surroun.ded by Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers and was sunk in the
fight.
Forty-five officers and men perished,
while five were saved.
Admiral Ouktomsky transmitted to
St. Petersburg the following dispatch:
"I have taken command provisionally
of the fleet since the disaster to
the Petropavlovsk. During the ma'
*- - 1? _ oltine r\f th P
neuvers 01 me uu.n.it; oui^j c ?.?
squadron the Pobieda struck against a
mine amidship on the starboard side.
She was able to regain port by herself.
None on board her were killed or
wounded."
The Pobieda is a battleship of 12,G74
tons displacement, and of 14,500
hofse power. She is 401 1-4 feet long,
has 71 feet beam and draws 26 feet of
water, and is heavily armored with
steel. She was completed in 1901, has
a complement of 732 men. Her estimated
speed is 18 knots. The steel
armor of the battleship varies In
thickness from 4 to 9 1-2 inches along
her belt. The armament of the Pobieda
consists of four 10-inch guns, eleven
tf-inch guns, sixteen 8-inch guns, ten
13-inch guns and seventeen 14-inch
guns and six torpedo tubes.
The official bulletin Thursday conveying
the loss of another torpedo
boat and the accidental crippling of
another battle ship was almost as severe
a blow as the loss of the Petropavovsk
Wednesday, and plunged the
whole city anew into gr'ef.
Did Makaroff Suicide?
\
Stories of the loss of the Russian
battle ship Petropavlovsk that reached
Che Foo are to the effect that the vessel
was sunk by the Japanese, and
that Admiral Makaroff, realizing that
he had been defeated and that his ship
was going down, blew out his brains.
His action was followed by a number
of the officers and many of the crew.
As he shot himself, the ill-fated admiral
is reported to have said: "Such a
disgrace; to be beaten oy oaroanans.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff,. commander
of the Russian Black sea fleet, will sue
ceed the late Admiral Makaroff as
'commander in chief of the Russian navai
forces in the Far East.
Messages of Condolence.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Paris says: President Loubet has
telegraphed to Emperor Nicholas his
profound condolences on the disaster
Vd the Petropavlovsk and the death of
Admiral Makaroff.
This dispatch, together with those
n.r Emperor William and the king of
Italy, sent previously,-is regarded as
significant of the acceptance of the
European governments that the sinkj
ing of the Petropavlovsk was d-ue to an
accident and did not occur during a
battle with the Japanese ships. The
officials say condolences over the result
of a battle might involve questions
of neutrality.

Narrowly Escaped Holocaust.
While the Indianapolis city fire de
partment, reinforced by companies ^
fiom the suburbs, was being taxed 1
to its utmost fighting the Occidental
hotel fire Sunday morning, an alarm .
was turned in from St. Vincent hos- ,
pital. ,
When the first fire company arrived
cne life had been lost and several were j
seriously injured in the panic that followed.
At every window on the third and
fourth floors were crowded the panicof
ribbon men nrirt wnmpn screaming
for help, to those on the street below,
who were for more than twenty
minutes prevented from entering the
building because of the dense smoke.
The panic that raged on the third
and fourth floors continued until long
after the fire had been que/ched. Patients
who had just undergone surgical
operations rushed from their beds to
the windows and attempted to throw
tLemselves on the ground.
Harriet Leahy, an old employee of
the hospital, leaped from a window
on the fourth floor, and when .picked
up was dead.
In the rear men and women were
' making ropes of bed clothes by which
they escaped to the ground below.
Katherine Beach, less fortunate than
the rest, lost her hold and fell from
the third floor, and i? now in a critical
condition from internal injuries.
\ As an unusual number of surgical
operations were performed in the hospital
on Saturday, many of the patients
carried from their beds by the
rescuers, were in a critical condi t/n,
ana the physicians in charge fear that
i many fatalities may ensue.
James Dawson, an emaciated patient,
worked heroically among the panic
stricken men and women on the third
floor. One after another he pulled away
(from the windows those who were
preparing to jump to the street below,
and piloted them through the
smoke to places of safety on the first
* floor. Afer saving twenty-seven nurses
and patients from possible injury in
this manner he lost consciousness,
and was carried into the male ward,
where medical attention was given
him. For a time it was Thought that
he could not undergo tne ternoie
strain to which he had been subjected.
Owing to the fire proof construction '
the actual loss to the building will
not exceed 11,000. ,
