STRUCK AN ICEBERG.
Accident to the Vessel Containing
the Arctic Scientific Party,

Accident to the Vessel Containing
the Arctic Scientiac Party.
ST. JOHNS. N. F., July 24-The steam
ship Miranda Of the Red Cross line having
on board DIR. Cooks arctic expedition.
which left New York on July Z, has been
in collision with an iceberg. No lives, how
ever, were lost, and the Miranda has put
into Cape Charles harbor, Labrador, where
temporary repairs were effected. The Mi
randa then returned to this port, reaching
here safely this morning. The steamship
will be thoroughly overhauled at this port.
and will probably proceed to Greenland in
a few days. All on board are we'll. The
collision occurred at $50 am. on July L..
during a dense fog. when the Miranda
was about five miles northwest of Belle
Isle.
The Miranda was then running at a good
rate Of speed, and it was not believed that
there was any ice In her vicinity. In fact
the iceberg was not sighted until the steam
er was close upon it, The moment the
berg was sighted the engines were promptly
reversed, and the ship was turned head
on to the obstacle, in order to avoid a
glancing collision, which might have proved
fatal. Owing to this prompt handling of the
helm the Miranda struck squarely with her
stem, and, the engines having considerably
checked her headway, not much damage
was done. AS 1t was. however, two of her
bow plates were cracked, the forward rails
were carried away and the hawse pipe on
the starboard side was so damaged as To
render the starboard anchor useless.
At Cape Charles the Labrador exploring
party of the University of PENNSYLVANIA
was landed.
The steamship Miranda left New York
at ; o'clock in the afternoon Of July Z.
In addition to Dr.. Frederick A. Cook, the
commander of the arctic expedition. the
following scientists were on board: Prof
VIM. H. Brewer of Yale. Prof. q. r
Wright of Oberlin College. Prof B. c. Jill-

DE ABLY DISEASE S
Black Plague in China and Cholera in
Europe
Nevertheless All the Usual Celcbra.
New Year Were Indalged In.

Additional Information regarding the
black plague in China has been received at
the marine hospital service through the De-
partment Of State. Minister Dunn writing
from Toxic. under date OF June l6, reports
the pest to be on the increase in Hong
Kong. Latest advices he says, are that up
to June over 1.SOO deaths had occurred in
Hong Kong, and several Europeans had
cied of the plague. A very small percent
age only Of those who are attacked recover.
Under date of June % Minister Dunn says
that latest advices from Hong Kong report
a slight abatement Of the epidemic. He also
incloses to the State Department a notif-
cation by the japanese government which
requires citizens of the United States in
Japan and the commanders and masters of
naval and merchant vessels arriving at
Nagasaki Kobe, Yokohama and Hakodate
to conform to the imperial ordinance for the
regulation Of the inspection of vessels arriv-
Ing from cholera infected ports.
Immense Percentage of Mortality.
Charles DENLY. jr.. secretary ot legation
at Peking, says the plague now prevailing
has caused great uneasiness. and every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent its intro
duction into districts not yet infected
Great difficulty arises, however, from the
utter inability of the Chinese to understand
and unwillingness TO comply with the most
elementary principles of sanitation.
In Hong Kong cases have numbered be-
tween forty or fifty per day, with about "a
per cent of deaths. At Canton IL was es-
timated that five thousand deaths had oc-
CURED up to the Sth of May. At that city
a novel and thoroughly Chinese method
OF checking the disease was hit upon. A
fortune teller having given out that the
plague would die away with the approach
OF the spring solstice the people of Canton
in order to deceive the gods of sickness
made the first day Of the fourth moon CMay
- their New Year day.
CHASTITY Celebration in Canton.
Every ceremony by which the day is oele-
brated was gone through with scrupulous
exactitude. The local authorities assisted
In this farcical performance The New Year
festivities In the presence of such wide
spread death had a somewhat CHASTITY char
acter.
Under date Of July IL the United States
consul at Liege. Belgium. reports that thir-
teen deaths from cholera had occurred in
that city during the week ended July Z.
The past week, he says, the newspapers
reported four or five new cases each day
So great is the confidence of the people
In the power of the authorities to sup
press the disease that its presence occa-
sions absolutely no excitement. The ex-
plosion OF a single dynamite bomb fas
frightened more people out OF town than
all the cholera they have had.

CAPT EVANS NEW COMMAND.
1t Was Given Him because of His
Peculiar Fitness for 1t.

There has been good deal Of comment
in naval circles upon the selection of Capt.
Robley d. Evans. who stands almost at the
foot of the list of captains, to command
the armored cruiser New York, the finest
sea command in the navy, and a prize
which was sought after by many other Of
fcers 1t has also been stated that Capt
Evans did not relish his assignment in
view of the fact that he has held his pres
ent shore duty as naval secretary of the
light house board but twenty months, when
the customary length of such service is
four years.
Secretary Herbert today said that he had
hmself selected Capt. Evans for the COM
mand of the New York on the ground Of
absolute fitness. without consultation with
or suggestion from any one He had ex-
plained to Capt Evans his reasons for as
signing him to this important command.
and SO far from being dissatisfied the Of
fcer had expressed his great qualification
and sense of the compliment implied in his
selection. While it is true that his tour of
shore duty has been short, 1t Is also true
that his preceding term of sea service was
also short.
