Inquiry into the cause of the fire at the Vatican last night shows | that it was accidental,’due either to care- lessness in leaving the kitchen fire lighted or to the combustion of acids which M. Marle kept for his work m making re- productions of ancient manuscripts and flluminated books for exhibition at St. | Louis. The rumors of incendiarism are proved to be altogether unfounded. The Vatican authorities have expressed | satisfaction with the help and sympathy given by the Italian officials. Monsignor Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of State, acting under the personal instruction of the Pope, has written a letter to the com- mander of the Italian firemen, thanking him for the work done in extinguishing the fire and enclosing a contribution to the Firemen's Mutual Assistance League. The damage caused by the fire has not vet bean precisely estimated, but it is sup- posed that it will not exceed $50,000, The Pope has ordered an increase in the force of firemen at the Vatican, in order | to be able to face any situation of the kind in the future, and to protect the Vatican treasures. iy O GERMAN MAIL STEAMSHIP | WRECKED OFF PORTUGAL Disaster to the Duisberg During Fog Probably Attended by Loss of Life.

I couldn’t really say.” “Did you at any time after the ship struck give any bell or word to the en- gineer until the time that you asked him to run her for the beach?” “I did not.” At this juncture Mr. Bulger said that he would like to call in the engineer and get the thing straightened out as to whether the ship was moving, turning around or not. ENGINEER WARD’S STORY. The chief engineer was then called in and told the following story of the wreck: “I was called up when the ship struck and immediately went below to see if she was taking any water. Captain McIn- tyre then came down and asked if she was and I told him she was not. I got her pumps all ready to start and had running the engines, 3 | the engnie crew to stay in the engine, room “I @idn’t ask them to stay in the en- gine room. They were all on deck at this time. 1 asked the engineer if he could give me steam and I'd head her for the beach. He went down with one man, I think the second nt engin- eer, and gav to get her head around, she got them running five minutes when the cap-| tain came down again. Jjust started to leak through the bulkhead forward and I took the captain forward and showed it to him. The vessel had | He told me to | keep her running and he would head her | for the beach. She was running all the time. she put the fires out on me. The en- I told him I would run her until | gineers and myself stayed below in the | engine room with the oilers and firemen | on watch until ordered by the first of- ficer to go on deck and abandon the ship. “I sent my men on deck, stopped the engines and raised the safety valves on the boiler. I went on deck and found one boat gone, the other drifting astern in the fog. 1 asked the first officer what we were going to use, and he said the life | rafts were all that were left and they would not hold us all. He said the only thing to do was to condtruct a raft of hatches, so the second mate and the men on deck started to construct one. Bruce then asked me if there was any steam left in the boiler and if I could run her while he tried to head her for the beach. ] said there was and went dqwn, low- ered the safety valve on the boiler and ran her for about ten minutes. Then the second assistant and myself went on deck and left the engines running to see how they were making out with the raft. Men on the afterhouse were getting ready to lower the ship’s raft and I asked them to wait till I stopped the engine so that it would not be broken up by the wheel. «1 went below, stopped the engines and then came on deck again and assisted e engine again, room to see if he could give her any more fire, as the steam was getting very low then. He came out immediately and sald that the water was in the fireroom nd in the bunkers also. The bulkhead bulging in and it wasn't safe to stay | iere any longer. The engines then made a few more turns and stopped trom a lack of steam. We then went on deck, got on the life raft and saw the ship sink from sight.”” Ward was then cross-examined by Cap- tain Bolles and Mr. Bulger. “How long was it from the time the ship struck until she sank?” i “About three-quarters of an hour. What speed was she making when she truck?"” About eight and a half knots.” FOUND BOATS GONE. “YWhen you came on deck were you not sed to find the boats gone from the | p's side?” i Yes, sir, I was somewhat surprised. “Up to that time you had not been noti- fied to leave the ship and the engines were | running all the time?” “I had not and the engines were ning.” The engineer then told the same story | about lifeboat drills as the previous wit- hesses had. In response to a question as | to whether the bells were ever out of or- der Ward said: ““There were times when we had a little difficulty with the bells. | Once Captain MeIntyre reported it to me | that the port bell wire was slack. I took| in the slack. The bells were in good order at the time of the wreck and I do not think there was any possibility that a bell might have been pulled and not| heard. One could easily tell if the engines | were running on deck by the vibration.” The questioning was then continued. “Do you think it was probable that the bell did not strike if the wire was pulled?” ] think it would have struck; the wires were all right.” ‘Was there a return sounder in the pi- lot house "I suppose there was; there was one in engine room.” (h(go“!g‘u‘“g Ward said that the boats were almost out of sight in the fog when | he came on deck. “We had to sit in the water on our raft, as it was partly sub- Terged. When I was on deck I counted twenty-one or twenty-two men left by the boats.” “If those two boats were launched wouldn't they have held every one on board?’ was asked. Yes, sir.” Was there much wind at the time?” “There was not.” Was there much sea on?” “No, sir.” EXPLAINS EXPLOSION. Mr. Bulger then said that the second mate in his report said that the boilers exploded. Ward explained this by saying at the time the ship sunk her boilers had but about seven or eight pounds.of steam in them and he accounted for the blowing up of the hatches by the fact that the water in rushing into the hold when the pulkhead gave way came so suddenly that | the air in the vessel was forced suddenly | out, causing everything loose to go with it. The inspectors then asked the following question: “In your opinion, Mr. Ward, considering the state of the weather, if all hands had been called on deck to their stations at the boats, do you not think those boats and rafts could have | mate were given an opportunity to ask him any questions they wished, but nei- ther nad any to ask. = was continued until 1 o'clock Succeeds Embassador Durand.
