many of t h wounded.
It was asserted that men and women
who sought shelter on board the Brit

wan cnarterod for Sir Alfred Jones
party from K n flrl and, were put ashore
and that the plea, of the American ref-
tiRees that the women ol their party
be allowed p.t least the privilege of
sieeplnsr on the open decks or the Port

civility. " The wounded who had been
taken on board the lame steamer for
an asylum were put ashore the day
following the earthquake, Tuesday, and

Protest to World's Press.
The Frlns Eitel's passengers told of

people, and were amazed
to hear of the rupture which had oc-

and Admiral Davis.
Tho protest of the American refu-R-oes

voiced at a mass meeting held on board

Captain Parsons, commander or the British
steamship Port Kingston, lying in the har
bor of Kingston, and aboard which was Sir
Alfred Jones, hi, superior officer, and other
officials, basing our contentions on the fol
lowing counts:
Refused Food to- Rescuers.
FMrwt That Captain Parsons declined to
furnlah food for one meal to the small num-
ter of Germans, led by Captain Richard
Vahsel, Hamburg-American line, who pre-
vented four docks from burning on- th
n I k; ht of the 14 th. amooc them the Port

Second That such American and other
refugees ag thi small boats manned by
'nplain Vahsel ' and others sathered and
lodged on Monday on hoard the Port IClnss
ton. were Rummarlljr ordered ashore at 4
1 ' M. Tuesday to make room for English

fepanlahtown or by relatives who found them.
Bearish British Captain.
Fourth, that when Fathers CDonovan of
Boston. Gavin of Indianapolis and Rev H
F Auld of Hatboro, .Pa., took a petition to
Blr Alfred Jones and Captain Parsons from
the refugees, sleeping on trunks, aacks of
coffee and the cargo-fouled plank, of the
Hamburg-American dock, to allow the said
refugees to ko on hoard the Port Kingston,
then at her dock, and sleep on her bare, clean
decks, where they would be safe from recur.

fused with (treat incivility and, coming to
the Hamburg-American dock, showed the
party further discourtesy.
FNfth, that In the two dsya though Sir
Alfred Jones and hla party on board the
Port Klnpston had all the comforts of a
large. well-equipped ship, no tender was
made either of food, water, coffee, beddlns
or medical assistance.
Bonds of Blood a Mockery.
Sixth, that In three days, save above un
pleasant visit of Captain Parsons, no official
visit was paid either by the police, mllltary
or colonial authorities to the large body of
American refugees on the Hamburg. American
dock.
Seventh, that in individual cases and minor
ways we were made to feel the superiority
snd first claim of the English, and found the
much-talked-of "bonds of blood and language"
when tested to he a mockery and a diplomatic
phantom.
Therefore, ws declare our resentment and
condemnation, this utterance being the Joint
expression of the psssengers In. common as
sembly on board tie Prln. Eitel Frledrich,
January 21, 11)07. '
The Americans had to wait for the
arrival of the Prlnx BItel at Kingston
and durina; that time all of them slept
on tho Hamburg-American dock.
"AVe lay down on the planks and on
sacks, piles of which reached almost
to the centner." said A. I. Hallnian of

112 passengers on the Prinz Eitel.
"The men were FT lad enoucrh to tret any
