Officers Convinced Holt Bomb Fired Minnehaha.

The steamer Minnehaha, which caught on fire Wednesday, is now in port at Halifax and it is believed for sure that a bomb placed on the ship by Erich Muenter, alias Frank Holt, was responsible for the blaze which occurred immediately after an explosion, which shook the ship from stem to stern and two men were thorwn 10 feet in the air. The flames were fould for two days and nights by the crew. The crew gained toe upper hand Thursday morning but they encountered a storm which held the Ship away from anchorage for several hours.
