ORDERED AN IMPossIBILITY.
vice Admiral Tryon Himself Responsible
for the Victoria's Loss.

VALETTA, Malta, July 1.-Notwith-
standing the efforts that are being made
by the naval authorities to prevent the
survivors of the Victoria disaster from
giving any information concerning the
loss of the vessel, the United Press cor
respondent has succeeded in obtaining
from reliable sources full story of the
casualty, the first report covering all the
details of the accident that has been
sent to the United States.
Most of the men decline for obvious
reasons to have their names published.
but the reliability of the interviews fol-
lowing may be entirely depended upon.
A sub-officer who was attached to the
Victoria saws that the feet was maneu-
yering when Vice Admiral Tryon
signalled to the first division to turn 16
points to port and to the second to turn
16 points to starboard.
The object Of this maneuver was to
bring the ships in position for anchor
ing. Vice Admiral Tryon either forgot
or mistook the distance between the two
columns, which were six cable lengths,
5000 feet apart.
The leading ships having turned to-
ward each other in circle the diameter
of which was three table lengths, COLI
sion was inevitable.
An officer states that Rear Admiral
Markham saw that by following the Or
der signalled from the flagship collis-
ion was bound to occur and made prepa-
rations accordingly. The signal for the
formation desired by the vice admiral
was sent twice, but the rear admiral dis
regarded it each time.
The vice admiral then signalled, ssWhy
are my orders not obeyed?''
Rear Admiral Markham was then
obliged to obey the orders, and the col
lision resulted. The officer further said
''The engines of both vessels were re-
| versed when the collision occurred. The
ram of the Camperdown ran down hall
| way through the Victoria. After the
| collision the other ships of the flee!
wanted to lower boats, and had started
to do SO when Vice Admiral Tryon sig.
| nailed them to stop.
The vice admiral had come off the
sick list the morning of the day of the
disaster. The midshipmen were with
| the vice admiral on the bridge. for the
purpose of seeing the evolutions of the
| feet; it was because of this fact thai
many of them were drowned.
| Continuing, the officer said: ssThe
question is, could Rear Admiral Mark
ham have carried out the evolution wher
Vice Admiral Tryon first signalled, OF
was danger caused by the rear admiral
waiting for the third signal9 All those
acquainted with the circumstances say
the evolution could not have been per
formed without collision when the first
two signals were given, and that no extra
danger was incurred through the real
admiral's delay in obeying the order sig
nailed to him.

ST. PATRIcK's CONCERT.
Hundreds of People Enjoy the Clos,
ing of st. Patrick's Day at
the Grand.

Probably the largest crowd that
has been in the Grand opera house
this season cOngregated last night
to hear a concert by the Ancient
Order of HibernianS, Division No.
|. The program consisted Of 10 num-
bers, and was rendered throughout
in superb manner.
The opening song was rendered
by Ed. T. O'Brien, the we'll known
bass singer. Mr.. Gus Albers then
followed with a violin solo and his
work was admirable. Miss Nellie
Lyle, one of the sweet singers of
the city, well rendered song,
"Eileen Alanna." Prof. BOyle's
mandolin quartette then appeared
and charmed the masses by rem
dering two selections, receiving an
encore. MessrS. Reuter-, Kay and
COleswOrthy, three young men
with remarkably fine voices, sang
"NOrein Moreen," and We're
called back. They are well
trained and their voices har-
monte. Mr.. Pat. O'IIara then
came on the stage followed by five
of his companions, they represent
ing themselves to be the "Bally
HoOley Blue Ribbon Army"
There songs were cOmical and their
make ups were clever. Miss Mamie
DeHam is recognized as talented
musician. She appeared last night
and rendered two songs in a most
pleasing manner. W. q. TObin
brought down the house by his
rendition of the song entitled "The
Wearing of the Green" Will made
his mark last night. Albert Kay
next appeared and sang "DOwn by
the River Side" with guitar ac-
compartment. The next feature,
and one which was overly well re-
.ceiVed, was the Columbian Quar-
tette, composed of Messrs Ed Pat
rick COrbett, Schram, Bonnet and
Duncan. They made their debut
and were so successful that the
loud applause induced them to
again appear. Miss Cora Boyle
sings well. Her voice is sweet and
we'll trained and her stage man
ners are worthy of praise. She
appeared last evening and sweetly
and tOuchingly sang two of the
late productions, causing the en-
tire house to burst out into a fit OF
applause. Miss Boyle is one of the
few in this city who has a true
SODranO voice Prof Con ROU1t
closed the evenings's pleasures by
sweetly rendering "Home, Sweet
Home" on the banjo.
