EXPLOSION ON THE IOWA.
SheU Bursts Big Oun and Kills Three Men
All Horribly Mangled.
Peneacola, Fla.; April 11. A disas
trous explosion occurred on the battle
ship Iowa today while the vessel was at
target practice in the Gulf. The for
ward port 12-inch gun burst from a pre
mature explosion of a shell, 12 feet of
the outside turret being demolished.
Three men were killed and five injured,
two seriously.
The men killed and injured were on
the second or gnn deck at nitss. Three
pieceB of the exploded gun, each weigh
ing over a ton, passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing three of
them. All of the men were horribly
mutilated. The heavy -misBilea, after
pafsing through the gun deck, contin
ued down to the third deck, where they
came in contact with the armored deck,
the heavy steel bringing them to a stop,
thus saving the engineers and firemen
who were at work below. Although the
upper decks were covered with men,
ncne were ceriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess had been sounded. The firing
was to have ceased alter the snot for

Washington, April 13. The opinion

that the five projects recently authoris
ed to be undertaken under the general
irrigation law will cost considerably

that the five works conld be built for
