rhe steamer city Alexandria. Rum Laden
burned ON the Cuban Coast ~ the ste-
suit Of an Explosion Thirty-ftve Lives
Reported Lost by Drowning while
Abandoning ship Tho survivors land
ed on Cuban soil.
HAVANA. Nov. 3.-The steamship City
Of Alexandria. belonging to the New
York 4 Cuba Steamship Co, from uav-
ana and Matanzas for New York, has
been burned off Cojumara. The news
was brought to this city early yester-
day morning, when IA small boat in
which were the second officer ana
eleven other persons from the City OF
Alexandria entered the harbor and re-
ported the loss Of the steamer. They
say that an explosion occurred Nednes-
day afternoon on board the steamer.
and that shortly after she was
burning fiercely. The cause Of the ex-
plosion is unknown. The fire gained
such Roadway that Capt. Hoffman saw
It would be impossible to save the YES
sci. and orders were given to abandon
the ship. The steamer had 400 hogs
heads of rum on board. and this. when
IL caught fire. caused immense masses
of flame to ascend from the hatch
ways, the matches having been blown
off.
III Fire Alarm Sounded.
There was great excitement on
board. but the officers soon succeeded
in restoring order. As % as the
fire alarm was sounded, the crew went
to their fire stations. and the stewards
legan to carry provisions to the boats.
There was comparatively little sea
running, and but slight difficulty was
experienced in lowering away the
boats, when the bell forward tolled the
signal abandon the ship" The scene
of the burning of the steamer was
only twenty-five miles from Havana,
and the officer in command of the boat
had little fear of not reaching that
port or some other place along the
coast.
Jumped Into the;Sea and Drowned.
In the first moment of the fire sew
eral men are said to have jumped into
the sea. Those who arrived in the
small boat, yesterday morning, said
that sixty had been drowned. many Of
them through the upsetting of a boat.
Later reports, however, show that
none of the small boats upset. and that
many of those at first reported as lost
reached Bacurana in safety. The num-
Der of persons drowned is now believed
to be thirty-four or thirty-five. Among
them were Herr Libenger, a cabin pas
scnger, and several Cuban stevedores.
When the news of the disaster reached
here a number Of tugs were sent to the
burning steamer to render what as
sistance they could. Twoof these tugs
returned yesterday afternoon, bring
ing nineteen survivors from the vessel.
The Burned steamer.
The City Of Alexandria was one Of
the fastest and largest of the American
ships employed in the West India trade.
She was an iron. screw Steamer. of 2,4S0
tons burden. She was 30s feet long, 80
feet beam and 81 feet depth of hold.
She was built in 1879 by John Roach &
Sons. of Chester, Pa. Her engines
were of the compound type, the cylin-
ders measuring 42x7s and 42x54.
