SIXTY DROWNED AT SEA.
BURNING OF THE STEAMSHxP CITY
OFALExA
Tragic Loss Of One Of the Largest and
Fastest of American steamers In the
West India Trade.

HAVANA, Nov. 3.-The steamship City
of Alexandria, belonging to the New York
& Cuba mail steamship company, from
Havana and Matanzas for New York. has
been burned off Cojmar. Sixty persons
were drowned. The steamer was COM
mnnded by Capt. Holman.
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 307 feet long, 3S feet o
inches beam, and 26 feet inches depth of
hold She was built In 1879 by John
Roach & Sons ut Chester, Pa. Her en-
gines were Of the compound type, the

Terrific Explosion.


officer and II other persons from the City
of Alexandria, entered the harbor here
and reported the loss OF the steamer. They
state that an explosion occurred on board
the steamer, and that shortly after she
was burning fercely. The cause of the
explosion is unknown. The fire gained
such headway that Capt. Holman saw it
and orders were given to abandon the
ship. The steamer had 400 hogsheads of
rum on board, and this, when it caught
fire. caused immense masses of flame to
ascend from the hatchways, the matches
having been blown off. There was great
excitement among the passengers and
crew, but the officers soon succeeded in
restoring a semblance Of order.
Taking TO the Boats.
Az soon as the fire alarm was sounded
on the ship the crew went to their fire sta
tions, and the stewards began to carry pro-
visions to the boats. The more cool
headed among the passengers remembered
the notice which was In every stateroom
of the ship, calling upon them In case Of
fire or collision to report to certain lifeboat
designated In the notice. These passen-
gers at once proceeded to the boats and
entered them. There was comparatively
little sea running, and but little difficulty
was experienced in lowering away the
boats when the deep-to toned bell forward
tolled the signal 'Abandon the ship" The
scene of the burning OF the steamer was
only twenty Ave miles from Havana, and
the officers in command of the several
boats--the captain, first officer purser and
chief engineer-had little fear of not
reaching that port or some other place
along the coast.
Jumped Into the Sea.
In the first moment of terror some Of
the passengers are said to have jumped
into the sea- preferring drowning to being
burned to death. Those who arrived here
state that go were drowned, but this Is
scarcely credited, as it is known now that
many Of the crew and passengers have
reached Bacuranao.
AS soon as the news OF the disaster
reached here number Of tugs were sent
to the scene OF the burning of the steamer
to render whatever assistance they could.
Two of these tugs returned this afternoon,
bringing 10 survivors from the vessel.

Wasp May Go Into Commission.

There is a well-founded belief that
Archibald Rogers, il he can find good
racing skipper. will put his champion 46-
footer Wasp in commission the coming
season and will enter her in what races
may be on hand.
Should this bit of good news prove to
be true it will insure some lively racing
in the 46-foot class after all, and will
give Mr.. Foster an excellent chance TO
test his new fin keel Carmita 20 good
advantage. The adams boys" might
also chip in" with the Harpoou, and
DIR. Hopkins with the Glorlana IL they
saw sport ahead.
The coming Of fin keel into the class
would throw more light on the powers
and possibilities Of the type, for sne car
ries only about half as much lead as the
Wasp, while her sail plan is so much
smaller as to insure her an allowance of
some minutes over last years champion.
IL is TO be sincerely hoped that Mr..
Rogers will carry out his reported inten-
tiOn.
