THE STORY OF A PILOT
1t Throws Some Light or the Fate of a
Missing Steamer

Missing Steamer
NEW YORK, April 2.-Pilot w. Crocker
Of the pilot boat James Bennett, brought
in from the sea last night a story that
will explain to many anxious hearts why
they have not heard from since they sailed
the men who went out in the little steam
er City OF Haverhill, which started for
Key West on Thursday last.
She was fiat-bottomed, stern wheel
boat, and on her trip south she was pus
into a safe harbor every night but no
word was received of her until Pilot
Crocker's report that the body of her cap
tain. w. p. Watrous, with lite buoy
strapped about his waist and some wreck
age were sighted by the Bennett Friday
last off Barnegat.
The rest of the men aboard may per-
haps have been picked up, but this is
hardly probable as sailors say the Haver-
hill cannot live five minutes at sea in half
gale.
Just how many were aboard her could
not be learned. Her pilot for the trip was
Captain William Van Wycke, a we'll
known and popular Yachting captain.
The chief engineer was Aaron Brown and
his assistant was Fred J. Luckenbach.
Fred Probst, whose father lives in South
Brooklyn, was the steward and Mr.. Wat
rous, whose home was in Key West. had
his son on boad Besides those NO one
knows who was aboard. The steamers
full complement of men was fourteen, but
not so many as that sailed in her.

A Steamer Capsizes in Sight of
Land in the Sound
SEVERAL LIVES WERE LOST
Lifeboats of the Vessel Were Lashed
and Useless
Passengers Had to Climb Through the
Windows Of the Cabn-Periious Trip
Of the Survivors

TACOMA, April "A special to the
Ledger from New Whatcom says:
The steamer Buckeye, plying between
this place and Friday harbor, capsized in
Bellingham bay, south of Eliza island at
o'clock this afternoon. The steamer left
Anacortes at 2:30, heavily loaded with live
stock. heavy wind carried her to one
side. AT 3 o'clock heavy sea burst in
the cabin of the steamer and turned her
on her side. The passengers were: W.
ID. Jenkins. W. L. Asner, W. III. Bennett
of New Whatcom, and II. Kaufman and
wife of Anacortes. All the passengers
climbed outside the window but Kantz-
man. who, Jenkins thinks. being a large
man, was unable to get out of the cabin
and he believes he must have been
drowned.
The captain and all of the passengers
but Kantzman got in a small boat, but
Bennett, Asher and the first officer got
out on to life raft which they tied to
the steamer. A small boat after half an
hours hard work reached the shore five
miles below Fairhaven. The captain Sc
cured a horse and rode to Fairhaven for
steamer to rescue those on the raft. As
soon as the small boat reached shore she
capSIZed and all on board were so be-
numbed that Jenkins says they could not
have held out longer. The steamer ]. 4.
Boyden went to their assistance but there
is no news of her return up to midnight
1t is probable that Asher and Bennett,
who are well known contractors OF this
city, and Kaufman and the first officer
are drowned. The two large boats on the
Buckeye were tied on and the crew were
unable to unite them, as they were partly
covered with water, so that they had only
the small boat. a heavy wind was blow
ing, and from the condition of the surviv-
ors the others perished before assistance
could reach them.

= BUDA PESTH, April 2.-An attempt
was made last night to blow up the mon
ument erected to the memory of the Aus
trian general, Hentzi, and AIS soldiers,
who fell while defending the fortress
against the Hungarians in 1S49. The
monument. which stands on George Platz

feet high, rising over a group of dying
heroes crowned by victory. A we'll
dressed man was seen to deposit near the
monument a parcel, to which was at
tached a lighted fuse. A tremendous ex-
plosion followed, shatterng the windows
of Archduke Joseph's palace, the armory
and other public buildings in the vicinity.
The monument, however was uninjured.

sent message to the Board of Aldermen
today showing the financial condition of
the city. He said there was a big excess
in the budget over previous years, and al
legged that this was due to a system of
financial jugglery practiced by previous
administrations. This was evident par
ticularly in the park department, he
said, where a million dollars was ex-
pended under the guse of helping men
who were out of work.
The mayor said that every technical
subterfuge was adopted by the previous
administration to dodge the issuing Of
