NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The steamship Sa-
lier, of the North German Iloyd'S steam
ship Company, arrived al this port Nester-
day, bringing the surviving passengers OF
the wrecked steamer Deutschland and the
passengers OF the Mosel who were unframed
by the fendish plot OF ThomasSen TO de-
stroy that vessel with dynamite al Bremen
haven. or the passengers there were ca be-
longing TO the Deutschland, L. cabin and -
steerage, and 80 belonged To the MoseI. p
caoin and IS steerage. Deutschlands pas
sengers were made happy by subscription
raised in their behalf IN England, which
reached such an amount that the steerage
passengers were enabled TO receive $50 each,
and after the principal divisions had been
made there was balance OF $3.50, which was
also divided. The passengers say they were
very Hospitality treated at Heriv;ch. The
passengers OF the Mosel are very fierce in de
nunciation OF
THE FIEND, THoNAssFN.
Upon the arrival OF the Salier in the stream
yesterday morning no person was allowed on
board until the representative of the German
consulate general had first boarded the yes
sci and seen the captain. This was in conse-
quence OF orders TO the captain, who had a
sealed package for delivery to the consul
general. The object was 10 give the German
onnclals here an opportunity TO co operate
with the home government by making an
Investigation before anything on the vessel
was disturbed. The letter in question had
been written during the intense excitement
following the dynamite explosion by the Ger
man authorities at Bremerha ven. under the
impression that possibly some traces that
would lead TO additional facts
IN REGARD TO THE EXPLOSION
mi yht be obtained on the Salier, and the
German consul here was delegated 10 pre-
vent any one from boarding or leaving her
until he obtained the Information desired.
Nothing however had been discovered and
the passengers were permitted TO land. A
great crowd OF the passengers friends were
at the pier 10 meet them. Thus far nothing
has been discovered In the freight or ia ggage
on the steamer Salier 10 indicate that there
is any Internal machine on board. The
freight, however, is being rapidly removed,
and IL is expected thatif there is anything OF
that kind concealed il will be discovered to-
day. If there are any packages on board
which belonged 10 Thomassen IL is not con-
sidered likely that they will be claimed.
The chief engineer of the Sslier had in his
possession piece OF wrought iron bent aud
twisted which weighed about five ounces. IL
was portion OF the wagon which conveyed
the dynamite TO the quay, and was found on
board the Salier which was at a wharf fully
half mile from the scene of the explosion.
Another was portion OF the calico dress In
the posses sion OF a steerage passenger. II is
spotted with blood, and In the center OF the
skirt is large hole burnt out by the dyna-
mite. Capt. Frarcke. OF the Salier, hap
pened to be witness of
THE FEARFUL EXPLOSION
OF dynamite on the quay at Brenerhaven,
and he relates the scene yesterday as ne saw
il; he had come 10 the wharf to see the cap
tain OF arother steamer, and was i'm CONVEX
sation with friend when IL occurred. he
said: II had TO idea of what had occurred
when the explosion took place. IL was about
half all hour before the MoSel was 10 sail, aud
the first thing ! knew terrible report was
heard, and the air was full OF flying frag-
ments of almost everything. j was thrown
of my feet, and when / recovered from the
shock and arose fearful scene met my gaze.
Before the explosion should think 300 peo-
pie were on the quay laughing. chatting,
making adieus, &C. Immediately thereafter
there were not more than fifty standing, and
the dock seemed TO be
COVERED WITH DEAD BODIES.
The spot where the explosion occurred was
marked by deep, black hole in the ground,
and nothing more. 1t was as il a blast OF
wind had swept the ground for a few feet
around. saw pieces of wood and iron chests,
boxes, all splinters, flying about, and the air
was full of fragments OF human bodies, legs,
arms, heads; pieces of broken glass We're
showered down, and the noise partially
drowned the screams of the wounded and
dying. looked at the Mosel as soon as
recovered, and afterwards went ABOARD OF
her. Her upper works were nearly ruined;
skylights were smashed in; the navigation
cabin a mass of splinters, and rails and wood
work generally torn and smashed. The
hatchways were broken in, and The glass
ports cracked and rent into atoms.
