Boorke and others were heard.
Captain Bourke made technical ex-
planation, of the maneuvere. He and
staff Commander Hswkins-Smith went
to Admiral Tryon's cabin together and
received orders. The vice-admiral after
having originally fixed the distance
between the ships at six cables,
agreed with the suggestion of the staff
commander that it should be eight ca
bles. Later on the deck, when Lieuten-
ant Guiltord said the question WAS
raised and that the staff commander
told him eight cables was TO be sig
nailed. Captain Bourke reminded Ad-
miral Tryon that he certainly had said
the distance ought TO be more than six
cables. The admiral turned to Lieuten.
ant Guilford and said: "Lsave it at
six"
Captain Bourke then called the ad-
miraPs attention to the fact that the
Victoria was turning in a circle of 800
yards. The admiral replied: "Let it
remain at six cables" and Captain
Bourke went above.
Captain Bourke further said when he
was satisfied by personal observation
that the Camperdown was coming
dangerously close, he said 70 Admiral
Tryon that they had better 10 some-
thing. Tho admiral looked up but made
no reply. Receiving no replay Bourke
again addressed the admiral, repeating
quickly two or three times the request
to go astern full speed with the port
screw. At last the admiral said ''Yes."
The port screw was soon started full
speed astern and shortly after Captain
Bourke ordered both screws full speed
astern. The ships way, however, wac
not checked appreciably before the COL
lision, which occurred within three and
a half or four minutes after hauling
down the signal.
As to events after the o.. lision Cap

more would have been saved if the ship

SHIP WENT DOWN.
MOST APPALLING NAVAL DIS
AsTER OF MODERN TIMES.

The Warship Victoria Sunk In the
Mediterranean by the CamperdOwn.
Four Hundred Sailors Lost-Both
Were First Glass Battleships.
LONDON, June PA tragedy of the
sea, without parallel in the naval an.
nails of recent times, is reported. The
British battleship Victoria, the flagship
of the Mediterranean squadron, has
completed a checkered career by sink
ing off Tripoli, after a collision with the
Camperdown, a sister ship of the squad
ron. This tragedy, resulting in the loss
of 400 men, including the vice admiral
of the squadron, had not been equaled
in fatal results since the sinking of the
Royal George in 1882, when 600 souls
found their shroud in the oceans
waves. The accounts of the disaster
are very meager and the responsibility
for this woeful loss of life has not been
fixed. Some of the ships of the squad
ron were maneuvering when the pow
erful ram of the Camperdown struck
the Victoria forward of the turret OF
the starboard side. Through the enor-
nous hole made by her sister ship the
water poured so rapidly that she was
sinking before an effort could be made
to man the boats. Even in the face Of
impossibility, the sailors strove to close
the break, but in the midst Of their
labor Of desperation the mighty hull
turned completely over and went to the
bottom.
The Victoria was a twin screw battle
ship of 10,47O tons and IA, ZOO horse
power. She mounted Is guns.
The Camperdown is also a first-class
twin screw battleship. She is of 10000
tons and II, 800 horse power and carries
10 guns. Admiral Sir George Tryon
was commander n-chief of the Medi-
terranean ships.
The injury to the Camperdown has
not yet been fully ascertained, but it is
serious and will necessitate her going
| on dock for repairs.

jury In the Famous Murder Case
Declares Defendant NOt Guilty.
NEW BEDFORD. Mass, June 2l.-The
jury in the Borden case, after being
out a little over an hour. returned q
verdict of not guilty. After the verdict
had been received the district attorney
moved that the other cases against Miss
Borden be nolle pressed, and the order
of the court was to that effect.
The scenes at the close of the
trial were in contrast with those that
proceeded it. Heretofore everything
had been decorous and in keeping with
the most dignified court III the country.
But when the verdict of mot guilty
was returned
A Cheer Went Up
which might have been heard half a
mile away through the open windows
and there was no attempt to check it.
The stern Judge looked straight ahead
at the bare walls. He was pow.
erless to WELD the gavel which lies
ready for his use and not once during
the tremendous excitement, which
lasted fully a minute, did he make the
slightest sign of having heard it. He
never saw the people rising in theil
seats and waving their handkerchief
in unison with their voices because his
eyes were full of tears and were com
pletely blinded for the time.
Miss Borden heard the verdict stand
ing at the bar and tears came where
they had not been for many a day
When the spectators had finally gone
Miss Borden was taken to the room o.
the justices and allowed to recover hel
composure. AT the expiration of al
hour she was placed in a carriage ant
driven to the station, where she took
train for Fall River.
