Doomed Passengers Had No
Chance to Escape.
WERE FASTENED BELOW DECK
Lumber Aboard Stopped Ever Means OF
Egress Long Before the lll.Fated
Steamer Sank.

San Francisco, June 13.-Robert
Gonzales, a mess boy of the lost Colima
who arrived here this morning on the
Colon in company with Fred Johnson,
a sailor, gives vivid description of the
fight for life made by the helpless wo-
men and children when the ship went
down.
when the boat began to rock and
roll the passengers in the steerage did
not seem to think much was the matter.
The rolling of the ship became more
violent and after while the boatswain
came to the companion-way and told
us to get out. Even then the passen-
gers did not appear to understand that
anything was serious and went out
slowly
las the boat continued to roll and the
water began pouring in, I ran to the
ladder, leading to the deck and started
to go up. After had reached the mid
die of the ladder, I saw others coming
back because they could not get out
The lumber and other stuff on the deck
had shifted to such an extent that the
companiOn-way hatch was covered UP.
They were like rats in a barrel They
could not get out and had to wait there
until the water came in on them.
Being familiar with the ship, I ran
through the kitchen and crawled up the
dummy waiter to the pantry above.
From there l made my way into the
main cabin, which then contained two
or three feet of water. AS 1 passed
through the cabin I saw several women
trying to get upstairs through the
hatchWays, but the water kept some
of them from leaving their staterooms
and others were unable to get upstairs
on account of the stuff that covered the
opening on deck. We tried to save the
two women in the boat with us. but
when she capsized, we had to scramble
for ourselves. The last I saw of them
they were clinging to bucket which
held them up only a second and they
went down without cry or struggle.

|urAH WILL REAP THE BENEFITS
The Union Pacific Is to Reduce Rates ia
Points in That State.

POINTS III i mar Statc.
Omaha, June 12.-For long time
past the Union Pacific has desired to
equalize the west-bound Utah and Mon
tana rates, but the Short Line conten-
ton has prevented. Now that this mat
ter is settled the Union Pacific decided
to revolutionize the Utah situation and
has prepared tariffs to go into effect
June Is. The idea is to reduce rates from
the Missouri river to Utah common
points on the 10 classes and upon west
bound commodities to the rates in effect
from the Missouri river to Montana
common points, with the present rates
from the Missouri river to Utah as a
maximum There is no intention to
advance any rates at present lower
to Utah than to Montana.
This equalization means much to Salt
Lake and Ogden. The Burlington peo-
pie declare they will meet the cut. AS
an instance Of what the decrease will
amount to, the saving on 10000 pound
car Of glucose amounts to $3.50.
