Gunboat Castine Badly Damaged Off Massachusetts Coast During Ma neuvers Xo One , Injured. Accident Is 1,'navoidable. PROVINCETOWN. Mass., July 11. The gunboat Castine, flagship of the submarine flotilla, which itos rammed by the submarine Bonita during the maneu vers today, was beached to prevent her sinking. No one on board was injured. Two of the plates of the Castine were loosened.- Parts of her boiler compart ments are flooded, but the bulkheads are said to ye holding: firm. The accident occurrerd during: a mimic attack on the Castine by the submarines, the Bonita apparently misjudging the dis tance and striking: the gunboat with con siderable force. The men on both boats felt the impact and some were momentarily stunned, but no one was injured. The Bonita escaped with the slight denting of a portion of her armor and the loss of a small sec tion of her railing. As soon as it was seen how badly the Castine was demaged, it was decided to beach her near North Truro. She will be thoroughly examined tomorrow and prep arations will be made for repairing the damage. The officers of the ship in- collision will not discuss1 the accident. The so-called attack" on the Castine waa unexpected. Several members of the crew were in swimming when the Bonita suddenly rose beneath the gunboat and as she came up, scraped her whole length across the bottom of the Castine. Water poured into' the lower engine room and the dynamo-room compart ments of the Castine, flooding them and threatening to extinguish the fires. The doors of the water-tight compartments were closed and the Castine started full speed for shore. She reached the beach under her own steam and rested easily in shallow water. All the crew remained on board. The Castine carried 80 men, commanded by Lieutenant Ralph A. Koch. The Bonita was under command of Ensign Sloan Danenhower and carried a crew of 16 men. The Castine is the tender for the thifc submarein division, made up of the submarines Bonita, Grayling, Narwhal, Snapper, Stingaray and Tarpon. The division commander is Lieutenant Donald C. Bingham. f'The boats came here some time ago fVom Charlestown, to engage in sub marine maneuvers, the exact nature of which is kept an official secret. At the time of the accident today not a submarine was in sight, and it was supposed that they were all out in the bay. The others did not return until two or three hours after the Bonita had struck the Castine. The Castine was built in Bath, Me and was launched in 1893. She is a twin screw, schooner rigged, steel ves sel of 1177 tons displacement. RIVER STEAMER SINKS Blazing Mississippi Craft Lands Passengers, Then Goes Down. ST. LOUIS, July 11.

OPERATOR GETS BLAME COXFLICTIXG ORDERS CACSE OF BAD OHIO WRECK. When Dispatcher Sees Mistake, He Rushes Dispatch to "Bust," But Too Late, He Confesses. HAMILTON, O., July 11.

Smith, train dispatcher for the Cincin nati. Hamilton & Dayton Railroad at Dayton, O. After trainmen and operators had told Coroner Burnett of the orders they had received that day and that official de clared his belief that Smith was to blame for the 21 deaths, the latter took the stand. "We were rushed with trains that day," he said. "I sent the Big Four passen ger on from Dayton to Cincinnati, then after it started I figured I could save time in getting the freight to Dayton, so I tried to send an order to Carlisle to have the Big Four stop at Post Town and let the freight pass. 'When I reached Carlisle by wire I learned that the passenger had passed there, going like wildfire. Then, to pre vent trouble, I sent word to Mlddletown to 'bust' the order allowing the freight to proceed to Dayton. If the freight had been on the siding at Mlddletown when this order was re ceived there, the wreck would not have occurred." Lee Crlder, agent at Mlddletown, testi fied: 'When I received the 'bust' order I ran to tell Conductor Weaver, of the train, but it was too late. Twenty-five to 38 cars had passed the station and were running toward the passenger train. RACE CROOKS SENTENCED Four of Maybray Swindling Gang ' Imprisoned and Fined. COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., July 11.

Ex-Presldent Drawn Into Thick of Fight in Xew York Politics May Be Forced to Lead Xew "Progressive" Faction. OYSTER BAT, N. T-, July 11. Theo dore Roosevelt's four days of rest are over. Tomorrow he will turn from wood chopping, haymaking and t'ennis playing to, dip into practical politics once more. In the morning he will go to his of flee in New York. Governor Hughes will motor to Sagamore Hill tomorrow, arriv ing about 6:30 P. M., as the guest of Mr. Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt played ten nis for a time today and denied himself to callers. Tomorrow's conference with Governor Hughes is to be concerned primarily with New York State politics with particular reference to the formulation of a plan for enacting direct nomination leglsla tlon. It has been pointed out that the enactment of the Cobb direct nominations bill will be a task worthy of the prowess of the ex-President. , Since Colonel Roosevelt has thrown himself into the thick of the fight, and since Governor Hughes has shown no in tention of relinquishing his place on the Supreme Court bench to run for re-ejec-tion, the deduction is made that, with the Governor out of it, the Colonel will be compelled to conduct, the fight that ne nas made his own, by becoming in person the active leader of the so-called progressive Republicans of the state. It is regarded as probable that no for mal statement will be issued as to the inward character of tomorrow's confer ence. Whatever passes between the two men, it is assumed that out of the meet ing will be born a definite policy. An appeal for help was made to Colo nel Roosevelt by John Nelson of Rich mond Hill, L. I., who was injured while at work on the Panama canal. Nelson was In the hospital several weeks and upon being discharged, he said, was informed that he would not be taken back.

The Colonel was too busy to hear his whole story and asked Nelson to call tomorrow at his editorial offices In New York. The Colonel has received many simi lar appeals for help. Several months ago Nelson appealed to President TafL XO APPOINTMENT IS MADE Roosevelt Says He Will Xot Confer With Loeb About Governorship. NEW York, July 11.
