One man killed and others hurt in an explosion aboard a Spanish naval vessel in the Brooklyn Navy Yard

A Spanish serviceman was killed, and three others injured in a small explosion aboard the Spanish naval frigate Bereguala, then in dry-dock undergoing repairs in the Brooklyn Naval Yard in New York.  Newspaper reports stated that carelessness with a cigarette was the cause and that the fatal injuries were incurred both from the explosion and a fall to the dockside.
