TREASURE TAKEN OFF
81 100000 IN GOLD REMOVED FROM
THE HOLD OF THE ST. PAUL.
The Beached Steamship Still Fast in
the Sand-Evidence that Campanfa
Grounded on the Same Shore.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-The American line
steamer ST. Paul is still fast in the sandy
beach in front of Long Branch. 1t was said
at the office of the company to-day that no
effort would be made to float the st. Paul
until the wind changes or the tide is so
high as to give some assurance of success.
The hish tides which are due to-day and
tomorrow and Friday Will not amount 10
much, If the present winds hold, as the
gain will be but little over an ordinary tide
with the heavy wind driving the water
down. The ship is resting easily, and Capt.
Merritt, of the wrecking company, still says
that she is in present danger. The state
ment is made by an officer of the company
that no trouble has been experienced in re-
moving the cargo TO lighters; the reports
that some pieces have been lost overheard
is absolutely denied The sand has backed
up against the port side of the ship, as
she has formed big breakwater, and it
will probably be necessary to drag her
short distance up the shore to get her from
behind this bank. There is a possibility
that deeper water will also be found further
north.
THE passengers booked to sail on the st.
Paul will all sail on the st. Louis tomorrow
no one has backed out" said Second Vice
President Wright to-day. Yvette Guilbert
and Ted Marks are among the passengers,
as are Mr.. and Mrs. c. Bernard Fiero. of
Philadelphia; Thomas w. and ohm S. Hyde,
of Bath, Me-; V. Winthrop Newman, of Lon
don Black and White; Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman,
Of New York; Marion Story and Cora Ran

ST. Paul is as secure as If she was in dry
dock, and has not sustained the slightest
damage. She is not strained at all, and the
cradle she formed for herself in the sand
holdsSher as firmly as could be wished In
case the big ship does not float on Thurs
to when she will shoot clear of the sand.
There Is not another spring tide for three
weeks, and the only hope of getting very
high water between Thursday and three
weeks from that day will be a strong and

Jose G.. Hernapdex's Account of the
Sinking of the steamer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Jose c. Hernandez.
a Cuban who was on board the steamship

to a reporter this afternoon: I'VE left
New York in the Hawkins last Saturday
night The steamship belonged to the Cub
an revolutionary party. having been pur-
chased recently for filibustering work
against the Spaniards. On board her were
12O men of the Cuban revolutionary party.
In addition TO this was a crew of sixteen
men. The ship was commanded by Cap
tain Hall; c. III. Crowell was made mate
We left New York at Midnight last Satur-
day from the foot of observation-disclosures thir-
ty-eighth street, East river. We put out
quietly in the dead OF night and in a few
minutes were steaming for the sound. We
ran smoothly enough that night and all
the next day. We had no trouble until 3
o'clock Monday morning. AT that time the
sea was beginning to get pretty rough and
the engineer asked for help. He said that
the engine room had sprung leak and
that the pumps were choked. Two men
from the revolutionary party were detailed
TO assist in bailing the engine room out
with buckets. Later on more men were de-
tailed for the same purpose. but the water
kept gaining on them. We could not get
the water out OF the engine room as Iast
as IL came in and the sea was getting
rougher all the time.
AT last the water came into the engine
room so fast that Captain Hall told US TO
Tighten the ship by throwing over bags OF
COAL The coal was piled UP on deck. We
threw 1t over as fast as we could. but IL
did not seem to do any good. Then we be-
gan to throw over the cases or arms and

arms alone. We had two Hotchkiss guns,
LOO Remington and Winchester rifles, and
one million rounds OF ammunition. In addi-
tion to this there were three thousand

a filibuster, had been wrecked off the east

and had been abandoned by the revolution

editions published report to the effect that
the steamer Hawkins had been fitted out at
ed-and-thirty-eighth street and
the East river. this city, with arms and
ammunition. and this, IL proved, was likely
to get the leaders into trouble with the
government. The story was to the effect
that the revolutionary party had recently
purchased the steamer in Baltimore. She
had been engaged In the fishing trade, and
was of 125 tons net and 1sS tons gross. She
was commanded by Captain Hall, and her
mate was c. II. Crowell. Jose c. Herman

Campania Was Ashore.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-The weekly re-
port of Asher Wardell, keeper of the life
saving station at Long Branch, N. j., seems
to settle the question as to whether the
steamship Campania was ashore on the
morning on the 25th about the same time
as the accident to the st. Paul. The re-
port says: 1.-The morning of the 25th surf
man Saiton, while on his north watch.
from u to 4 a. m, discovered large
steamer ashore. He burnt his coston signal
and at once returned to the station to give
the alarm. We started with our beach ap-
paratus for the wreck at a.. m. While
we were on our way we heard a steamer
blowing north Of the station and close 10
the beach. Surfmen Chasay and Rundquist
ran to the beach and burned their coston
lights and signaled to US that she was
ashore. 1 had the apparatus hauled
abreast of the steamer. / was having the
gun placed in position to fire line over
her. / waited a few minutes to let her
get still. when L saw her begin to ago
astern. She backed off all right. After
waiting a while TO see that she was all
right we proceeded on our way 10 the
