NEW York, April 23.--Those OF the
Danmark's passengers who were shipped
via the Pennsylvania Railroad from Phila-
delphia for New York, sixty odd, after
midnight last night, arrived here in due
time this morning. They were not re-
quircd to pass through Castle Garden for
inspection the authorities at Philadelphia
having made all necessary examinations.
Most OF the passengers who came hare de-
parted for their homes, or the homes OF
their friends in this city, Brooklyn and
vicinity. A few whose destinations were
elsewhere were taken to the Hotel Dam
mark at No. 81 Greenwich street.
Olaf Wugund was one OF the few Eng.
lish speaking people in the party. He is n
florist and has been In America before. In
conversation with reporter this morning
he made a statement which has not vet
appeared in print in connection with tho
casualty. He was told that his remarks
were important and detrimental 20 the
steamship company but he adhered TO his
statement He said that before the acci-
dent occurred--the date he could not re-
call, but thought 1t was the first or second
OF April--one OF the Norwegian immi.

ships officers had said 10 the Others IN

steamer sailed. Her pumps were broken,
and in case Of an accident would be found
OF little service "Tm afraid the Dam
mark, the officer Is reported 10 have said,
Twill meet the fate OF the Geiser." The
Geiser was vessel of the Same line sunk
off Nova Scotia by collision with the
Thingvalla about year ago.
Wugland further said that the vessels

fore her machinery gave out. The first
fire occurred about o'clock on the night
Of the 10Th Of March, and tho second
about 3: 30 o'clock in the afternoon Of the
following day. The passengers heard OF
both fires and showed more uneasness
over the comparatively slight accidents
than when the vessel became totally dis
abled. Wugland was loud In his praise Of
the captain and crew OF the steamer Mis-.
souri, which rescued the Danmarks pas
6engers.
