NAVAL OFFICERS DOWNCAST
Believed Precautions Would Prevent
Further Powder Explosions.
Washington, July 17. Aeido from
tholr deep concern over tho injuries
suffered by tho unfortunato turret crew
of tho Georgia, tbo officers at the Navy
department were a good deal cast down
when thoy learned of the accident, as
it tended to shako their confidonco in
which thoy had rested for more than a
year, in tbo perfection of tho regala
tionB so carefully framod with a view
to safeguarding human lifo in tbo tur
rets.
April 13, 1004, a terriblo accident
happened on tbo aplondid battleship
Missouri, when through a "flare back'
five officers and 20 enlisted mon met
their death.
Just two years later to a day thero
was another explosion in tbo six-inch
turrets of tho Kearsarge, whereby threo
men were badly Injured. That accident
occurred through a sailor's handling un
Iron extractor so as to make a short cir
cuit in tho olectrlcal current, which set
firo to tho loose powder. Measures
were taken to mako both accidents lm
poselblc of recurrence.
It is understood at tho Navy depart
ment that the Georgia had just com
pleted her preliminary target practice
and was on what is known as liarnata
bio range, near Provincetown, Just In
aide Capo Cod and about 60 miles from
Boeton. Tho Navy department officora
expressed confidence tonight that the
dispatch of tho Georgia with tho Atlan
tic fleet on its projected cruiae to tho
Jt'aclflc will not be cancelled.
JAPANESE SEALERS SEIZED.
Schooners Caught by Cutter Manning
Near St. Paul Island.
Washington, July 20. Tbo State
department has been informed that the
revenue cutter Manning, on July 5,
seized two Japanese fishing echconers,
tbo Nitto Maru and the Kaimo, near
the boat landing within about a mile
of tho ecal ialand of St. Paul. Both of
tho vosselB wero fully enuipned fcr
sealing, and there were evidences that
they had beerf plying their craft, in
the sliapo of fresh seal skins in tbo
small boate. The seized vessels wero
taken to Unalacka and left in chare o of
tho United States marshal. The crews
wero taken aboard the Manning and
convoyed to Ungi, in charge of a United
States marshal, where they will be
ricd before a United States commis-
ioner upon the charge of violating
the sealing regulations.
Tho Japanese embassy has been n6-
tifled by the State department, but as
tbo caso appears to 1x5 an ordinary one
of poaching, it is not expected that any
diplomatic incidents will result.
Guards Against Slocum Horrors.
New York, July 18. The Federal
government is determined there shall
be no overcrowding of excursion and
other craft running out of New York
larbor and no repetition of tho Slocum
iorror. A largo force cf customs offi
cers has inspected every portion of the
boats, with tho result that 15 passen
ger carrying boats were put out of com
mission and tied up. It was found
pome of tho masters did not even havo
licenses. Moreover, hundreds of per
sons were obliged to disembark from
vessels because of overloading.

to Mexico at tho rate of 800 per month,
landing at Sallna Cruz, Manzanillo and
othor Pacific ports.
In caso oi war, tho plan is for tho
Japanese fleet to sail into the Gulf of
California, capture the port of Quay
mae, and use tho state of bonora as a
base of operations in a campaign against
tho United States. The plan would
practically duplicate tho operations
against Russia, tn which Japan seized
Corea at the outbreak of the Rosso-Jap
anese war. '
Japan, in her war against the United
States, will despoil Mexican territory,
which has no navy, just as she did tbat

y those of Euiope. aro watching tho
