LOSS OF LIFE REACHES 120 Tha Tenet Struck the Ureailed Catqnat Stock, Near the Jilanil or Ainernej, and Went Down In Ten Minutes. Koulhamntnn. Annl 3. The passcn ger steamor Stella, plying between this nort and tho Channel island, crashed upon tho dreaded CaiQ.net rocks, near the Island of Aldernoy, yesteniay anor noon, in a dense fog, and foundered in 10 minutes. Her boilers exploded with a tremendous report as she went down. Tho coastini! steamer Lynx, which brought the news of the disaster heio( picked up four boats anil 40 persons, It is estimated that 120 persons wore drowned. The second officer of tho steamor. who was anione tho icsoucd, says a col lapsible boat was launched full of poo pie, but ho thinks it stiuck on the rocks, owinir to tho fog. Another stenmci has picked up a boat contain ine 45 persons, including 30 women who escaped from the wrecked steamer. Tho Stella left Southampton yester day conveying tho first excursion of the season to tho Channel islands. There wero about 185 rwusengorson Itoard nnd a crew numberinc 25 mon. The weather was foggy. At 4 o'clock Cas quot rock suddenly loomed up thiough the fog bank, and the steamer almost immediately afterwards struck amid ships. Tho captain, seeing tho steamer was fast sinking, ordered the lifeboats launched. Women and children were embarked in the boats. Then tho cap tain ordered tho men to look after themselves. A survivor stated that ho and 25 others put off from tho steamor in small boat. The sea was calm, but there was a big swirl around the rocks. When this boat was a short distance away from tho wreck tho boilers of the Stella burst with a terrific explosion and tho vessel disappeared stern fore most in tho sea. The last thing tha survivor saw was the figure of tho cap tain of the Stella standing calmly on the bridge and giving his last instruc tions. The survivor referred to said: "The suction was so tremendous that we thought our boat would be en gulfed. I saw five boats and the col lapsible boat besides our own leave tho wreck. They contained altogether be tween 80 and 100 people. Fivo of tha boats were soon lost to view, but we took a boat filled with women in tow, and the occupants of our boat took oars in turn and lowed all night long until most of us dropped asleep, thoroughly exhausted. We sighted a sailboat at 6 o clock in the morning, hut the steam er Lynx from Weymouth had mean whilo hove in sight. She took us all on board. She eventually landed us at Guernsey." The Groat Western Railway Com pany's steamer Vera, from Southamp ton, picked up 40 others of the snrviv- rs and landed them at Guernsey. Up to noon 112 passengers have boen unaccounted for. Later accounts say the Stella had 140 passengers on board, and that her crew numbered 42 persons. Another steamer of the same com pany which arrived at the island of Jersey about noon today reports having passed many bodies of victims of the disaster about tho Casquet rocks. A surviror of tho disaster named Bush" says tho speed of the Stella in the fog was not diminished, though the fog whistles wore sounded. Bush adds that at 3:30 P. M. the engineer showed him in the engine-room a dial register ing a spoeu oi io Knots, lie says tho vessel strnok within 25 minutes afterward. Bush further asserts that two lifeboats wore sunk with the steamer, which after resting on the rocks for 10 or 15 minutes split in two and disappeared. It is thought possi ble tho Partons were the only Ameri cans on board, as tho list of suivivon does not contain tho names of any other Americans, as far as known. Tho second mate was tho only officer of the Stella who was saved. FLAN AGREED UPON. Joint High CommUalun the Settle the Satnoaii Question. Washington, April 8.
