THE SINKING OF THE OREGON.
A New Theory as to the Cause of thu
Wreck Passengers Want Damages.


NEW YORK, March 25.-Mr Henry d.
Garrett has been retained by 10 of the pas
sengers of the Oregon to look after their
claims for damages and loss of baggage,
The gross amount of their loss is stated to
be SlO1,OOO. Mr. Garrett has employed
divers to examine the wreck, and they
will begin work in a few days. He has
also employed the only member of the
crew of the Oregon left in this country by
the Cunard company. Mr.. Garrett says
"He is the man who assisted in hauling
up the mails after the collision. My OBJ
jects in employing this man are these
He is one of the first men who rushed ON
the deck after the disaster. He is the
most competent witness in regard to the
state of the weather ut the time. He re-
ports that, although it was hazy, he could
discern objects at IA distance of 1900 feet on
all sides of the vessel. He SAW nothing of
a sinking ship, nor Wreckage Of any dis
cription Upon orders from the officer
III charge he went below, and in
company with five others attempted
to close the left hand compartment IT
was open at the time. This, they found,
was impossible to do, in consequence of
the corroded condition of the hinges; To
this my witness will testify. lie Will also
testify that on the previous day the coal
in the bunkers near the holes was wet
and that at times the cargo near the Yicin
ity of the holes was soaked with water
When he was pumping with the Others
one of the tiremen exclaimed TO -
with the ship Come on In short
my witnesses theory is this That the
officers of the Oregon, in order to reach
port in advance OF the Fulda, deviatec
from their course. She struck a wreck
This made the holes in her sides. Through
their negligence the result of the collision
was not discovered. Had it been known
in time, the Oregon might have beer
saved. The sailor thinks the wreck strucl
was the Hylton Castle He knows there
was no trouble with the engines, for the!
worked after the accident, The hole
We're not made high enough above thu
water line for them to have been made b.
a schooner of so large tonnage as t.
pierce the side of the Oregon.
