More ubout tho Disaster: to the SANTIAGO
do Cuba.
New YORK, May 24.-About 200 of
the Santiago de Cuba's passengers have
arrived this afternoon. Their statement
varies as to the action of the officers.
The passengers and seamen say that at
2 o'clock yesterday morning the Captain
went below and left the Second Mate in
charge. The Mate left the Lookout and
went to work washing down the decks.
It is alleged that for this reason land
was not discovered until the ship struck.
Soon as the ship struck all was commo-
ton aboard. The passengers acted we'll.
There was no panic. Officers tried to
get the ship off. Then arrangements
were made to get the passengers ashore.
There were between ~thirty-ive and for
ty ladies aboard, who were taken first.
Captain Kelly took the first boat ashore
in safety and returned for the second
load, which swamped, with the sad re-
suit published. Meanwhile Captain
Patten had taken two boat loads, and
went to the assistance o. those swamped.
Two women were taken aboard; one
was supposed to be dead, but restora-
tives were applied and she was resusci-
tated. The wreckers under Captain
Townsend acted nobly and did much to
ave the property Of passengers, who
found themselves five miles from Allan
tic City. People Immediately went
down to the beach with teams and took
the passengers and their baggage to the
city. This morning many Of the pas
sengers went to Philadelphia. The re-
mainder, which came to this city, say
that had tho accident occurred on a
rocky coast no passengers would have
been saved. The Santiago has 10 feet
of water in her hold and it is doubtful
whether she can be saved.
