MEN FALL AT POSTS OF DUTY Nine Killed and Two Injured- Steamer Just Ready to Sail for Europe. The following details of the steamship St. Paul horror, as given in the New York Herald, will be found of general Interest: By the bursting of a sleamplpe on the American line steamship St. Paul yester day morning, five men were killed out right, four others were so badly Injured tnat tney died In the Hudson street hos- pltal, and two others were less seriously nurt. Those killed outright were: Campbell, Robert, machinist, thirty-four years oia, or No. 482 Hudson street. Fawns, James, , second assistant engin eer, 28 yearfold, whose home was In Eng land. Manning, William K., fourth assistant engineer, 22 years old, of No. 41 Winthrop u venue, tmcago. McCalllon, Daniel, machinist's helper, 21 years old, of No. "SI Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. Williams, George, machinist, 33 years old, of No. 308 River street, Hoboken. Those who died In the hospital are: Fogel, Adolprfus, a cleanerfl 21 years old, of No. 43 Washington street Heard, Andrew ship's storekeeper, 4a years old, of England. Vesper, Frank, third assistant engineer, 29-year--t)t,-0f Roxbury, Mass. WUfgUltuBobert, machinist, 36 years old, of No. 2S6 West street. The Injured are: Durham, Frank, machinist's ouaiueu on arms ana lace: wounds dress- ea on tno pier; sent home. wisnart, Iulward, eloctrlclan, slightly scalded: sent to ship's hospital. The disaster occurred at two minutes to 7 o'clock. The port watch, headad by nttuuu .engineer v el ig, was on duty. Fif teen men were In the engine and boiler rooms working on the machinery. Mr. Wells had Just finished a tour of In spection of his department, and found everything In order, and went on deck. The particular work in hand yesterday mornjpg was warming up the engines pre paratory 10 getting me vessel under way, a ,he was to have sailed at 11 o'clock in the morning. The operation consists of letting steam into the cylinders. The boiler room Is In the lower part of nu". a iittie art of amidships. Just nit, ana separated only by a bulkhead, is the engine room, and still further aft, is the electrical compartment. There are two sets or noiier.5 and engines on each side of the steamer, to work each of the twin Bcrews. The disaster occurred on ine starboard side. The main supply pipe leads from the ooiier room to the engines, passing through the bulkhead. It is about fifteen feet long ten feet from the boiler to the bulkhead, the remaining five forming an einow, wnicn reecis the engines. The break occurred In the engine room only a few inches from the bulkhead. It made a clean fracture, separating the two farts of the broken pipe at least a foot. Five men who were at work In that room must have been scalded to death in a lew seconds. When found thev all lav at the very spots where their duty com pelled them to work. The escaping steam had scalded them almost beyond recogni tion. Six were In the boiler room, and made their way out, more dead than alive. Two were in the shaft allev leading, aft from the engine room. They ran for their lives, reaching the extreme after portion of the vessel, where there are ven tilators, and the -current of air saved their lives. In the electrical compartment was Ed ward Wisnart. When the steam poured In he grabbed the nozzle of a hose, and holding the nozzle above his head allowed the water to pour over him until the ter-i rule heat from the steam had exhauster leself. By that means he saved his life. The noise which followed the cracking of the pipe was heard In all parts of the steamer. Every man who was working In the vicinity of the engine room went to the assltance of his shlpmantes. Eighteen reached th8 engine room. Half blinded by steam, they sought the victims. The bodies of Williams and McCalllon were I first discovered. They lay, as did all the ! others, face downward, their arms extend I ed. They were within a foot of each other, on the low pressure cylinder. Man ning was lying on the second platform. He pro! ably had been on his way to the deck when the steam belched forth. Campbell was just back of the engine and Tawns was not two yards from wher,e the pipe bad parted. In the arms of their shipmates the dead men were borne to the after square on the n.uln deck and carefully covered with tar paulins. A hurry call was sent for an ambulance surgeon to care for the wound ed. Coroner Fitzpatrlck arrived about noon, but It was 4 o'clock In the afternoon be fore the oodles were taken from the ves sel Four were removed to the under takers' establishment in Great Jones street. McCatlion's body was taken to his home In Rrooklvn. Although the St. Paul was advert sed to sail at 11 o'clock no passengers had 1 reacnea tne reached the pier, when the accident oc-j curred- wp" thev learned that t"e ship I could not sail for several days, many werei disappointed, but complaints soon gave; way to expressions of sympathy. Clement , A. Grlscom, Jr., second vice-president of the line, was on hand, and told the pas sengers that the company would do ev erything in their power to compensate them for the Inconvenience caused by the delay. He said any who desired could take pas rage on the Red Star line etanr Ken sington, which was berthed -en the, north side of the pier, and was due to sail for Antwerp at noon. He told them tho Ken- ty flrrt--ahln. sixty seeoniWahln, and 125 1251 fleerape pawm?r-r - acrrpted .this off it. ,' Those who rared to wait Mr. Grlnrom saiu, would oe kept in Nr Tork at ihej company's expense until the sailing the Paris on Christmas. If any cared go before that time they would be trans ferred to other vessels, and it Is probable many will go on the Campania on Satur day. The malls were returned to the nost office early In the morning, and wilt be sent across on the Campania. Mr. Grlscom, president of the company. was In Philadelphia at the time of the accident, but- hurried here on the first train. He reached the pier about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and with other officials of the line, went to the fata! engine room. "Just how It happened, or what caused the catastrophe," ho said to me, "will probably never be known. All the men who were In the engine room are dead, ana we can only theorize now. Thero are two or three waya In which It might have occurred. There is a valve on the steamplpe in the boiler room, also one in tne engine room. It was known that the valve In the boiler room was open partially, and may have been that the steam rushed through the pipe and burst It before the second valve could be opened. There are other ways it might have happened, but we can only surmise at present" Mr. Grlscom said that as it would take at least ten days to repair the broken pipe, the St. Paul would not sail until her regular sailing day, three weeks hence. RAILROAD WRECK. Atlanta, Dec. 26. In a head-end collis ion, which occurred this morning on the Southern Railroad between two freights, two firemen and brakemen were killed, one engineer perhaps fatally hurt, and three tramps received painful bruises. Fireman D. Wood and Fireman W. O. Schell were found with life extinct In the wreckage. Engineer Roberts was severe ly and perhaps fatally Injured. The crew of one of the trains disobeyed orders. THE LITTLE NAVY Uncle Sara's Toy War Vessels in Washington. Baby Cruisers and Baby Battleships for Which a Private Ocean is to be Made. (Washington Cor. New York Journal.) Secretary Herbert's Christmas presents began arriving some time ago. It is fully a month since a great truck drove up to his door, and,- with much mystery and a great lugging and straining, there was de posited upon the sidewalk a long, buiky piece of merchandise that took half a dozen men to convey It to the private office of the secretary. The bulky object was the model of the newest great war ship. The miniature battleships now In pos session of the secretary are as great as the number of the new war ships. The little Columbia Is Just being completed: the tiny Indiana has been done, and Is now In his private "navy yard," and the other war ships, cruisers, rams and mem bers of the White Squadron, are plentiful ly represented. Do not suppose for a moment that the models are useless. Important experi ments are made with them at the mini mum cost. Where it would cost hundreds of dollars to conduct an experiment with the ship Itself, It costs only a few dol lars to make the test with the model, and the general purpose Is served just as well. Secretary Herbert, besides having these model ships, is going to have very soon a private ocean upon which to sail them. He Is going to have a tank like the one with which the Kaiser amuses himself, and similar to the tanks of the English navy yard. Secretary Herbert's private ocean will be about 300 feet long and 25 feet wide. This Is about the size of one block of a 'ty street, say from crossing to crossing, r.ith the middle of the street for a tank. It will be about ten feet deep, as even the I n by war ship draws plenty of wa- I ter. There will soon be an appropriation 'it this private Ocean, and then It will be q'llckly built, for In making a private o"an one does not have to wait for "the little drops of water" to accumulate. The water supply Is turned on, and., hey, pres to! you have an ocean. The size of Besretary Herbert's "home navy" is about five feet for each ship. The great guns, of the little ships are most Interesting. They are the length of your middle finger and the size around. They are like bolts of a storm door. In the center there Is a hole bored, and later all the little acpoutrementa of the Maxim or whatever gun may be used upon the ship are added. Not the least admirer of these war ships Is the young man, Hilary Herbert Micou, the small grandson of Secretary Herbert and eldest child of hla daughter, who makes her home with him. This young man is within a few days of the age of Esther Cleveland, and is, therefore, blase upon Chrlstmases, having aeen a couple of them come and go. But upon warships he is enthusiastic. Every afternoon Mlsa Herbert, his pret ty aunt, escorts the young gentleman In his carriage to the office of the secretary, and the two, Hilary Herbert and Hilary Herbert Micou, enjoy a romp and an In spection of the ships. In several of the models the steam power la left out.' These will be propelled by a steam engine upon a drldge over the water. This gives the Mime rate of speed and saves the cost of putting steam In so many little ehlpa. When a real test Is made there la as much preparation as for the launching of the big boats. To make the little fellow go faster and to get their actual possi bilities In locomotion a thick coating of paraflne Is spread upon all of the parts under the water. As the big fleet grows In the nsvy yards and upon the ocean, the little fleet grows also. Seven men are kept working vpon It, and a. new ship Is turned ent every ten days. This will continue urtll there fa an entire navy In mlnlatu Vvnh tls !n the or!"e of the fT-y o' the navy, and wltb tbe ocean fleet along the coant, I'ncle Bam will be quite ready to' entertain guests of rhatever deserip- tion. ILT Campos in Havana With Naval and Military Officers. IT IS NOT GENERALLY CREDITED That the Cubans Are in Retreat- Spanish Send Re-inforcements Strengthen Fortifications. . Havana, Dec. 20. Since the arrival here last night of Captain General Martinet de Campos from Matanzas he has been In conference with leading military and naval officers, civil dignitaries and the leaders of the different political parties, Tne captain general upon his arrival here announced that the Spanish troops In Matanzas occupied advantageous posi tions ana that the Cubans would either be compelled to fight a pitched battle in that province or surrender. It Is not gen erally believed, however, that the march of Gomez and Maceo upon Havana has really been stopped and that they are in retreat. In support of this it Is said that If Maceo and Gomes are retreating the government would be slow In making public every item of new obtainable con cerning this feature of the hitherto trl umphant march of the Insurgents. Preparations are being made here for defense, and forwarding to the front of all troops than can be spared. It Is un dertsood that the Spanish columns In the insurgents rear have been ordered to concentrate as quickly as possible on the frontier of Matanzas, and that every ef fort is to.be made to prevent the retreat of the Cubans into Santa Clara. While these preparations are being made, apparently to stop the Insurgents from escaping back Into Santa Clara. the land fortifications of Havana are re ceiving attention day and night. A num ber of additional earthworks have been thrown up and they are being hastily completed and supplied with ammunition, and the outposts of the Spanish troops around Havana are being strengthened and more securely fortified. STARTLING STATEMENTS. A Mormon L eader Says Polygamy Has Not Been Abandoned. Kansas City, Dec. 26. A special to the Journal from Topeka says: Richard W. Hart, a bishop of the Mor mon church at Salt Lake City, a member of the territorial legislature, and a prac ticing lavayer of some note In his region, expressed some opinions which will be received with astonishment by people who had supposed the Mormon church had per manently abandoned polygamy. Accord Ing to Hart's views of the situation, tlio church will at once take up the practice when Utah has been admitted as a state, He says: ' "There seems to prevail an impression that the church has abandoned all con trol, and that the political parties are to take the place of the power that made a garden out of a desert. You ask If plural marriages have been abandoned. That ordinance was of God and as one of his commandments must be obeyed." NOT GUILTY. San FranclBco, Dee. 26. In the trial of Dr. West for the murder of Addle Gll mour the Jury today -rendered a verdict of not guilty. RED CR08S WORKERS. Wilt Start for the Armenian Scenes of Trouble. A New York correspondent says: Miss Clara Barton, president of the American Red CroBS, was at the Waldorf yesterday, making preparations for her work In Armenia In the Interest of the Interna tional Red Cross. I think there would be enough Red Cross workers to do the work both here and in Armenia," she said, "if there were any need of such aid because of a war over Venezuela. Of course the work of the national Red Cross is first and fore most for our own country, but I do not believe there will be need of It. I cannot say how many nurses would be available In case of such a war, nor hat provisions we could supply for car rying help to-the field. I cannot say how many tents we could provide. We have not many stored away to pay rent upon; but I am certain they would be forthcom ing In the event of their need. As for nurses and doctors.l do not Know or a trained nurse in this country whose ser vices would not be offered, snd there are any number of young physicians who would be glad to do field duty. "If there were need to decide between Armenia and a battlefle'd upon which our soldiers were wounded, the decision must be for our country. "My going to Armenia is still condi tional," she said. "It Is on condition that the means are forthcoming to carry on the work. There will probably be need for Iliiu.OUO to carry relief to Armen'a, Miss Barton said that there would be no women in the relief party. "Absolutely no women," said Mr. Pull man, the secretary of the society, who will be a member of the expedition. "A woman cannot stand the hardships neces sary." "But If Miss Barton can endure It could mt another woman?" "Miss Barton has unusual powers of endurance," he replied. "She rnn stand more than most men. She worked for nineteen hours out ft tvtry twenty-four 'or nine months at the time of the hur Hoane and tidal wave disaster on the South Carolina Sea Island coast in 1!J-M. She wore out alt the men. "Besides this, when she goes to Arme nia It Is probable that Miss Barton will remain In Constantinople. There will lie a tourney of eight hundred miles which must he taken on jackaes and camels. A corps of probably fifteen men will be xi'-n." here would be no danger from antag--'m by the Turks, Mr. Pullman aald, hr !we Turkey was one of the nations in :he International Association of lh Red Cross. They would not dare take anyone, however, who would furnish news to the outside world. "If any Information In the way of cor respondence was sent out from our par ty," he said, "the Red Cross would be or dered out of the country within twenty four hours." Miss Barton and Mr. Pullman returned to Washington last night. STRIKERS PARDONED. Debs Says He Would Prefer to See Them Go to Jail. Los Angeles, Dec. 28. All of the twelve jurors, with the exception of the fore man, who is in Honolulu, have signed a request ror the pardon of Clune. Sean. wood and Ross, the convicted A. R.

The . recent storms in the Straits played havoo with the natural spits of Port Angeles and Dungeness, on each of which Is situated a government lighthouse. The seas have torn Ave channels through Dungeness spit and three through Port Angeles. Some fears are now entertained lest the spits have been entirely obliterated. IMPORTERS ALARMED. San Francisco, Dec. 26. Local Importers alarmed over the tariff changes, are with drawing their goods from bond as quick ly as possible. There Is In bond at pros ent goods Valued at t2,0OU,00O. Importers are trying to withdraw all these imports before the provisions of the new bill tnlte effect. TARIFF BILL PASSED House Loses No Time on a Com promise Measure. Sixty Per Cent, of the McKIuley Rates on Wool and Woolens, J i . Lumber and Carpets. ' Chicago, Dec. 26. A special to the Post from Washington says: "A thorough un derstanding Is believed to have been ar- lved at between the president and the leaders of both parties In congress, by the terms of which the executive will ap prove the tariff bill. Ills consent to this is said to have been obtained by agree ment on the part of tha. Republican mem bers to make the bill an emergency meas ure but limiting Its operation to a period of about two and one-half years, until August I, 1838. The president argued that such a limitation would amount to a pra tlcal admission of the ultimate sufficiency of the Gorman-Wilson act from a revenue point of view. The Republicans were won to acquiescence by the thought that they could extend the period to suit themselves as soon as a Republican successor to President Cleveland Is Install ;d in the White House. - By making it a Republican measure, however, hopes are entertained at the White House that It may get through the senate. This consummation Is extremely doubtful, however, for the discovery has been made that concealed In the bowels of the bill is a scheme to begin the retire ment of the outstanding paper money of the government. THE VOTE ON THE BILL. Washington, Dec. 20. The house today responded to the appeal of the president by passing a tariff bill, the operation of which Is limited to 2 years and which Is designed to raise the $-10,000,000 for the relief of the treasury. The bond bill will be passed tomorrow. The vote today was on party lines, with two exceptions. The Republicans all voted for the bill except Hartman, of Montana, who did not vote, and the Democrats and Populists against It, except Newlands, of Nevada, who vot ed In favor of the measure. The special order under which the bill was brought to a vote after three and a half hours' debate, was Ironclad In char acter and compelled the members to adopt or reject It without opportunity of offering amendments of any kind. The debate itself was participated In by the leaders on both sides. The Republicans contend ed that the first necessity for the treas iry was revenue to supply the continued deficiency. Every speaker denied that the proposed measure was a Republican pro tectlon bill, it was, they claimed, an emergency revenue bill on protection lines. It was significant that several, no tably Dalzell, Payne, Hopkins and Gros- venor, predicted the passage of a genuine protective measure as soon as the Repub licans gained control of the White House. The Democrats took the position that there was no lack oT revenue in the treasury, and that the passing of the hill to Increase taxation would In no wise help the situation nor furnish the relief desired by the president and the secretary of the treasury. The bill passed today repeals the present tariff law until August 1st, HU It re stores 00 percent of the McKln'ey rates on wool and woolens, lumber and carpets, and makes a horizontal Increase of the present rates on all other scheclubs, ex cept sugar, of IS per cent. When the bill was put upon Its passage It was passed, 205 to 81, the vote being taken by yea and no. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report TUB MTIIiW&j. Disabled Steamship Arrives at Port Townsend in Safety. TOWED IN BY COLLIER MINEOLA Was Found at Anchor Under DC- strnction Island Below Cape Flattery. Special to the Astorlan. Port Townsend, Dec. 26. The disabled Oriental steamship Strathnevls arrived In port late last night, In tow of the collier Mineola, which found her anchored near Destruction Island, below Cape Flattery. .The Australian steamer Mlowera had tuk en the Strathnevls In tow, and held her for five days, when, owing to the severe storms, Bhe was forced to cast her oft and abandon her. The recent western Btorms and heavy seas drove the steamer toward shore, and she barely saved her self from going ashore on the Washing ton coast by dropping anchor. She cuino Into port uninjured. Ronald McDonald, the purser, a resident of Seattle, Third Officer Bnrnes, and three) Japanese sailors, who- left the ship in a Btnall boat to land on Destruction Island, are still missing. The steamer Strathnevls cleared at Tu coma for Yokohama October 12, a"d left Victoria the next day. She was 73 days out from Tacoma. Anxiety was felt for her safety Blnce the last day of Novem ber, when sho was over 45 days out, but no tidings could be received of her until the British bark John Gambles arrived at Vancouver, R. C, December 7, and re ported she had spoken tho Strathnevls November 19, lii'longltndo 145 west, and latitude 48:40 north Her main shaft was broken. The locality in which she was snoken by the Gambles Is about 7M mlls due west of the Straits of Fuea. nd 1 not over three day" run from Victoria. It is about 50 miles south of the reeu'ar route from Puget Sound, The Strathnevls r"upt have broken down about three dayi after leaving the straltsunleas she drifted far from the spot of the .neb-dent 't p it occurred. She had an Inexhaustible sim ply of provisions among her cargo, and had condensers for furnishing fresh wa ter. With passengers and crew the num-' per of persons on board was about 150. Hhe is commanded by Cuptaln James Pat tlo. The Strathnevls made two trips on the Northern Pacllla line. She belongs to tho Strath line, of Glasgow, and Is on-i of Hie thirty-three steamers owned by that company. Bhe was built on Newcnstle- on-Tyne last year, and was launched In July. Her length Is 3i'.5 feet over all: her beam Is 43 fect, and depth of hold 27 feet. She had a net tonnage of 210.1, a gross tonnage of 8571, and a dead-weight carry ing capacity of 5,700 tons. Her engines, which were built at Newcastle-on-Tyne. are triple expansion, surface condensers, and have a power of 1500 effective horse power. Her speed Is 10Vj knots, and In appearance she realizes the Meal of a modern freighter. CONTRACTS LET. Newport News Company Will Build Both Battleships. Washington, Dec. 26.
