We regret that we are forced to look for the disaster, the cause is given at follows: cause of the ignition in some reckless and pro- hi'ited act commited by one or other of the firemen. This theory is very much strengthen ed by the evidence of R. G. Mackey, the ship's cook. This man, sales that two days before the accident he saw, the fireman Abbas under the bridge deck smoking a cigarette, and that be. reported this to the boatswain, who there. upon karcked the cigarette out of the man's momh. The other fireman, Muern, appears to have been angry at thir, and to have told Mackey to mind his own business, Mackey La Chauza., also states that Masro'carried a short pipe, in his pocket, and that Abbas always smoked Gran Valor cigartites. In view of this evidence we cannot but consider that the most probable cause of Espagnole the ignition was the siguing of a match by
