SOMEBODY BLUNDERED
AND CAUSED THE WBECK OF THE GUN-
BOAT VICTOBIA.
But That Person Nobly Stood Rt HU Pott
Of Duty and Went Down With Hit
Ship Complete Story of the
Deplorable Accident.
Valktta Malta. July l.-Notwith-standing
the efforts being made by
the naval authorities here to prevent
theBurvivorsof the Victoria disaster
giving any information concerning
the loss of the vessel a correspondent
succeeded in obtaining from reliable
sources the full story of the casualty
the first report covering all the de-
tails of the accident sent to the United
states. Most of the men seen to decline
for obvious reasons to have their
names published but the reliability
of the interview following may be eu-
tirelv depended upon. A. sub-officer
attached to the Victoria says:
"The fleet was maneuvering when
tr! umirai Trvmi signaled to
the
first division to turn 16 points to pore
A tv oannnit tn HllM 16 DOlotS tO
starboard. The object of the maneu-
ver was to bring the ship3 In position
fnr unnhnrinar."
vtnft Admiral Tryon either forgot
or
mlktm.lt the distance between th
columns which was six cable lengths
(3600 feet) apart Tne leaning
ships having tuinod towards each
.ii... i nti.nl a rhn diameter of
which was three cable lengths (1800
feet) a collision was ineviiaoie.
The Camperdowu struck the Victoria
on he starboard side midway be-
tween the catheads and turrets.
When Bear Admiral Markham saw
the ship was bound to strike the Vic-
toria he signaled for the Camperdowu
nglnesto be reversed. It was too
late however to check her headway
and she struck the Victoria a fearful
blow. Not only did the rani of the
Camperdown penetrate the flagship
but her forecastle was shoved 10 feet
under the forecastle of the
Victoria. A bugle call was sounded
on the flagship calling all hands to
stations and an order given to close
the water tight doors in the bulk-
heads a minute before the collision oc-
curred. The Camperdown however
was swinging rapidly towards the
Victoria and those on the flagship
scarcely had time to reat h the com-
partments before the vessele came to-
troth 6T
Thai water rushed into the ship
through several of the forward doors
preventing access to those compart-
ments. Officers who were in
h wardroom felt the shock
which was tremendous and heard
the sound of tearing Iron and
rushing of water on bosid. Ihe
bugler Bounded the collision alarm
but though everybody knew he was
in imlnent danger there was not the
slightest trace of a panic. Perfect
discipline was maintained and every
order obeyed as soon as given. Ihe
pumps were cleared and rigged for ac-
.. tion and Captain Maurice Bourke flag
" 8itain of the fleet made inspection to
certain what bulkhead doors were
eked All hands were then ordered
'fall in on the port side of the ship.
he collision mat and boom were got
Mt An attempt was made to place
Wmat over the hole in the forcastle
ut it failed. While this was be Dg
J one the commander was engaged in
ettlng the boats out. The rapid and
..nc: not. thn shin was making
made the task difficult.
I The port side of the ship
I .'was crowded with men their
anxiety plainly shown in tneir
-countenances but perfect or-
' der was maintained. Men who had
' been condemned to imprisonment were
brought irom ine - urig nnu
were conveyed from the hospital.
One man who had been below for warn
at the time of the collision had both
legs broken by being hit by the
Camperdown's ram. The Victoria lay
with a list of from 20 to 25 degrees for
about two minutes. She was settling
by head at the time. Suddenly the
water rushtd through the main deck
lpottsand In less than ten minutes
after the ship went down. In the last
-few minutes she turned over with
frightful rapidity but clutching
stanchions and anything else that
would hold them the men hung on
no one attempting to leave the ship.
Vice Admiral Tryon saw all
hope was gone and gave thn order
41 Jumr and save yourselves!" Then and
not till then did the men break ranks.
They climbed into the weather not-
tings and cried: "She's jrolng down"
and scrambled to get hold of Borne-
thing in the upper side of the ship.
The men were in the stern above the
port propeller which was revolving
rapidlv when they were forced to
jump close to It. Some did not clear
the blades and were instantly killed.
Those on the stern seeing their fate
cried: "Stop the engines for God's
sake." This of course could not be
done as It was impossible even if any
one hart dared enter the engine room.
The sight of men meeting death by
being bit by the screw was a hard
one Many who Jumped went down
beneath the water but rose again.
in the meantime the Victoria had
turned bottom up and in a few mo-
ments plunged dowd bow first carry-
ing many of the men who were still
clinging to her they having clamber-
ed towards her- keel as Bhe turned
slowly over after getting down on her
side. About 400 people srot clear of
the ship before she sank hut many
were struck by floating wreckage af-
terwards and so injured thoy drown-
ed. The air that ecaped from tne
ship as she went flown caased any-
thing that would float to come to the
surfice with tremendous force and
men struck by upcoming articles were
in many instances never seen after-
wards. For 200 yards around the spot
where the vessel sank the water was
a seething mas man in it being
whirled around half choked and dazed
and dashed against the wreckage for
a minute or two.
Amonsr those killed by the propeller
waa Lieutenant fniuip w. Monroe.
Some of those who met death In this
way were terribly mangled and many
legs and arms were seen floating in
the water after the ship sank. When
last Been Vice Admiral Tryon was
holding to the rail on top of the
charthousn. He did roc have
a single chance for his life. He could
hardly have gotten off the ladder to
drop before the ship went down. He
made no attempt to leave his post.
Captain Bourke who was saved was
on the top ot the forward bridge be-
low vice admiral Tyron when the Vic-
toria sank. Lord Gilford flag lieu-
tenant bad a wonderful escape from
below amidships.
Nothing too high in praise of the
behavior of the meu can be said.
When in the water their actions were
heroic. Men swam around helping
others many seeming to
think more of rescuing their
comrades than saving their own lives.
For the first few second following the
disappearance of the ship there was
no shouting or screaming and those
who died met death slleuily. During
the terrible half hour from the time ot
the collision until all were saved whom
it was possible to rescue many acts of
heroife.ni and kindness were done and
offered.
PATBI0IIC SUNDAY.
Novel and Interesting Sunday Exercises at
the World's Fair Grounds.
Chicago July 2. Governor Altgeld
was rather severely scored at the
patriotic Sunday exercises at the
fair this afternoon for his action in
pardoning the anarchists. The cere-
monies were conducted in the festival
hall under the auspices of the regular
army and navy chaplain. Scarcely
1000 people were in attendance.
Prayer had been said and severa
patriotic hymns sung -when Com-
mander J. M.Campbell of the Union
the principal speaker of the
day was announced and he it was
who scored the governor.
"It is eminently fitting" he said in
opening his remarks "that the regu-
lar army and navy union should ob-
serve a patriotic Sunday here today
because the chief executive of this
state has recently shown that he
would be willing to supplant the flag
of freedom for the red flag of An-
archy." When he had finished the
sentence he pnusod tor a moment and
for a minute the audience was silent.
Then it gave vent to vigorous ap-
plause. The speaker finished his ad
dress but made no further reference
to the governor or to Anarchists. He
talked of a patriotic Sunday and told
of the good effect it would have on the
rising generation to observe.
When he had finished the choir
sang ''Nearer My God to Thee" and as
they Ming the last refrains a huge
American flag which hung behind the
speaker's stand was drawn aside and
here upon the wall hung the Union
Jack draped in mourning and under-
neath in large letters was written: "In
Memoriam H. II. 8. Victoria." The
effect was pleasing indeed and it was
made more so as a sailor in uniform
from the United States navy stepped
forward and hung a laurel wreath
above the flag while a bugler sounded
taps.
Sunday opening is a success so tar as
visitors are concerned. Today the
crowd was much larger than last Sun
day.
In view of what Hood's Sarsaparilla
has done for others is it not reasonable
to believe that it will also be of bene-
fit to you? '

THE FINANCIAL STRAIN.
ONLY FINANCIAL MATTERS TO BE
WORKED ON BT C0NGBESS.
The Senion May Be Brief. Merely Grant
ing President Cleveland Authority to
Suspend the Purchase Act Opin-
ions of Greiham and English.
Washington July 1. The opinion
Is held by a number of congressmen
that the extra session called jester
day by the president will not be a
lengthy one but financial matters
alone engage its attention. Prominent
amonsr this class is G. F. Wheeler of
Alabama. Said Wheeler: "The peo
pie have tested the virtue oi the silver
purchase act and will now be given
an opportunty to observe the working
of its appeal. Numerous meml.ers
believe it would be wise for congress
as Boon as orgamzei to pass a resolu-
tion giving the president authority to
suspend the purchase act. Congress
could adjourn at once and then in
regular session in December the finan-
cial condition could be dealt with in-
telligently in the light of the result ot
four months work under any policy
the president might under the resolu-
tion Inaugurate."
GRESHAM ON THE SHERMAN LAW.
Indianapolis July 1. When
asked this morning if he had seen that
President Clevelaud had called con-
gress to meet in extra session. Sec-
retary W. Q Greeham eaid: " es
and I am very glad indeed. I believe
the call will do much toward allaying
the doubts that exist as to financial
conditions."
"Do you think congress will repeal
theriherman act?"
"I certainly believe it will. I will
say too that two weeks ago congress
would not have repealed the act. I
know whereof I speak when I say
that."
AS ENGLISH VIEWS IT.
Andianapolis July 1. Hon. Wm.
H. English today said: "There
is an unfortunate tendency
for hard times to come pe-
riodically but now there seems
to be a special reason for trouble. The
main cause is undoubtedly a wide
spread fear that the country will ulti-
mately be brought to a Bllvor stand-
ard with silver coin worth only its
bullion value about 50 cents on the
dollar. There should be something
done to raise the ratio between trie
two metals gold and silver. Disuse of
bank bills and gold coin below $5
will be beneficial and certainly most
persistent efforts should be made to
induce foreign governments to join In
widening the field for the use of
silver."
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
New York July 1. Wall street
was in a more confident mood today
and the anxiety which has been so
profound during the week gave way
to a feeling of relief. The change is
due entirely to President Cleveland's
proclamation calling for an extra ses-
sion of eon? ess to provide legislation
to alleviate the financial distress.
The opening of the ' stock
market was active excited
and in the tirat 15 minutes business
prices bounded up 1-2 to 4 3-4 The
bears were the most anxious buyers
but purchases were not confined to
shorts Commission houses reported
little more inquiry from outside
sources and if money should work
easier next week they look for contin-
uance of demand. Toward 11 o'clock
the market quieted down considerably
and prices ran off. Some of the
traders then began to discount
the effect of the bank statement
which they expected would be unfa
vorable. They were correct and the
whole market weakened. The decline
was from top figures of the morning
1-2 to 3 8c and the reaction was great-
est in the industrials. The market
left off comparatively weak although
a majority of the prominent shares
showed gains of 1-2 to 1 1 2 per cent
for the day. Railroad bonds were
fiim.

by far the largest crowd ever assem-

Yesterday morning at 6:45 o'clock
Mr. G. J. Franklin who has a room on

house on WeBt Sixth street was called
to his door aad across the hall by an
inmate ot the room just opposite
wnen Mr. Franklin reaohed the
strauger's room he saw him lying on
the bed with his face partially turned
toward the wall and he spoke to Mr.
Franklin without turning over stat-
ing that he had taken a dose of strych

cured the stryohnine that caused his
death. Hla name was known to the
hotel people as Miller though he did
not register being anight lodger they
did not require any registration. ThlB
la all the hotel people know of him
and the people in the neighborhood
seem to have been favored more with
his presence.
Mr. Freeman Just across the way at
the livery stable tells
A TALK
to the effect that Thursday morning
the gentleman in question came over
to his stable and proposed to Bell him
nis norse orlale and saddle. Mr.
Freeman aooepted the proposition
giving the low sum of $8 for the outfit.
He told the man to wait until the
banks were open and he would give
him a check that he could cash. The

and a
briefly
of the
Biiauxer. ' rsome seem to think that
hla eagerness to hear news from the
scene of tbe train robbery is due to the
faotthaehe was implicated in that
piece of business ana was fleeing from
Justice. If such be tbe case It is
strange that he would sit In front of
the hotel Friday night and hold such
au interesting conversation and ap-
pear to all intents and purposes con-
tented and free from oare. laken all
in all hla case Is a mystery. At this
writing It is but natural to Jump at
conclusions. Many think him an es-
oaped train robber and If such be tbe
case he has certainly escaped beyond
the jurisdiction of legal officers. If it be
not the case it mattera little. He haa
committed aulolde hla past la clouded
In mystery and It requires the future
to reveal it. So mote it be.
can not be.
