Brief Reports Only Received at the Navy Department. ‘The only information received at the Navy Department from official sources relative to the accident yesterday at the gun cotton factory at Newport, F. L, was contained in two telegrams addressed by Capt. Converse, in charge at the works, to Capt. Sampson, chief of the bureau of ordnance. The first read as follows: “Two of the injured by the fire at the gun cotton factory kave died, one is seriously in- Jared and four are slightly injured, inelading En- sign Cs . The origin of the fire is said by the foreman of the factory, since dead, to fn or near the picking room.” The secoad and later dispatch was as follows: “Three of the men have died of their injuries. Four others are injured, but not seriously, and are reported as doing well. All possible assist- ance bas been rendered. The cause of the loss of life and injuriss is attributed to an explosion in the drying room. No explosion of gun cot- ton occurred.” Capt. Sampson's theory of the disaster, based on these telegrams, is that the explosion was eaused by the extension of the fire to the fine cotton dust or lint floating in the air of the drying room. This cotton was not gun cotton. As to how the fire itself originated no explana- tion can yet be edvanced. ‘The tis awaiting Capt. Converse’s before taking any steps looking to an Oahcial inquiry into affair. The men killed were not attached to the paval service, so that no! can be done by the department looking to ‘the relief of their families, but it is probable that Secretary Herbert will bring the subject to the attention of Congress when it meets. It is the present intention to rebuiid the factory immediately. exact loss cannot be estimated just now, but the buildings were not expensive structures, and there is ueed for the product turned out there. While the factory was known as) oan ex ntal = factory and a large quantity of gun cot- ton is now being made for naval use by private contractors, still the gun cotton pro- duced at tae Newport works was much supo- rior to anything of the kind that could be pur- chased, and is ble for a number of special applications.

One hundred and thirty miners are entombed, and it is feared that the loss of life will be heavy. Rescuing parties are hard at work and four bodies have been brought to the surface. The pit is badly blocked with fallen rock, dirt and timbers and the progress of the rescu- ing parties is therefore slow. It is feared that the men who escaped death in the explosion of fire-damp will be suffocated by the choke-damp, unless they are speedily rescued. The scene at the pit mouth is terrible.
