LOSS OF THE SHIP RoSENFELD.
Captain Dunphy Arrives in Port and Tells
the Story of the Disaster Off
Cape Horn.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 22-Captain
w. II. Dunphy of the American ship Will
lie Rosenfeld. which sprang a leak off
Cape Horn and sank while trying to make
the Brazilian Coast, was passenger on
the steamer Newton, from Santos, which
arrived this afternoon.
Captain Dupphy said he was near Cape
Horn when he experienced severe north
east gale, during which the ship sprang
leak. After weathering the gale the leak
was found to be OF such a serious nature
as to render it hazardous to proceed, and
Captain Dunphy shaped his course for the
Falkland Islands. Heavy weather and
strong head winds were experienced and
it was impossible to make headway, so
Captain Dunphy headed for Rio de
Janeiro.
When he was within 500 miles of that
port strong gale sprang up and the
heavy sea made the Rosenfeld labor
heavily, and the leak became worse.
Finally new leak was discovered in an
other part of the ship and it was decided
to run for shore, but the leak gained so
rapidly that the boats were made ready,
and she was abandoned.
three boats in which the crew EN- barked
were separated during the first night out
Captain Dunphy, with the lifeboat and
twelve men headed for the nearest
coast, distanced about 400 miles, and
landed eight days later at Invituba.
Brazil. The first mates boat with seven
men also landed a few days later. but the
second mates boat with seven men had
not been heard from at the time the cap
tain sailed by the Newton from Santos.
The Rosenfeld was a large wooden ship
of 1858 net tons. She was built in 1885 at
Bath. Me-, and was owned principally by
Arthur Sewall. the candidate for the Vice
Presidency. Captain Dunphy also owned
a share in the vessel, as did also his
brother. The boat was not insured.
The Rosenfeld sailed from New York for
San Francisco April % with great cargo
valued at 100000 She foundered on
August 13.

sheetiron weighing several pounds. Over
nail near the window this string was
passed SO it could be worked from the
outside. When the string was held taut it
drew the loop of the second wire up
against the insulation Of the first wire,
thus making it non-conductive.
When the string was let go the weight
brought the second wire in contact and q
circuit was created. AS the wires led up
10 the Office and connected with the bomb,
it was easy for the assassin to explode it
at will. As Mr.. Andrus could not be seen
from the window where this cord was
worked, it is believed that the
murderer was familiar with his routine
duties and was we'll aware that Mr.. An
drus was in the room when the bomb was
set off, 1t is pretty clearly established
that whoever constructed the bomb and
devised the electrical contrivance knew a
great deal about explosives and something
about electricity. But the stringing of
the wires and the connections made clearly
show the novice.
The Coroner has taken possession OF all
the matter and believes it will eventually
lead 10 the capture OF the assassin. The
latest developments dispute the theory
that the bomb was in ended for John E.
Andrus, brother of the murdered man.
The Pinkerton men are working on clew
which shows a motive for the taking of
Hamlin ]. Andrus' life.
Chief Mangin tonight confessed that
the finding of the electrical device had nom
plused him and that he was completely
in the dark The chief had previously
tried to argue that Mr.. Andrus desired to
construct bomb to be used on his prem
ises to guard against burglars.
An autopsy this afternoon showed that
the upper part of the head had been
blown off and one arm shattered. Two
large pieces of the bomb were found
buried in the heart, one of the pieces
being several inches in length. Small
pieces of the bomb were found embedded
in various parts of the body.

SLAIN BY AN ASSASSIN.
Hamlin ]. Andrus Met a Hor
!. rible Death at the Hands
of a Fiend.
Fearful Ingenuity Displayed by the
Plotter in Exploiting an Internal
Contrivance.

YONKERS, N. Y, Oct. 22.-The latest
developments in the terrible tragedy of
yesterday at the Arlington Chemical
Works prove almost beyond doubt that
Hamlin j. Andrus met horrible death at
the hands OF ali incarnate assassin. The
plot that resulted in the murder of Mr..
Andrus was unquestionably deeply laid
and the pIotter evidently an ingenious
rascal.
In searching the building to-day for evil
dence this was made manifest. Near the
window where the bomb was exploded
was found coil of wire. Close scrutiny
showed that the wire had run down
through hole in the floor used for the
gaspipe into the cellar. There, directly
under where Mr.. Andrus was found, were
four small dry batteries to which the
wires were attached.
Both the wires and the batteries were
new, and showed evidence of having been
recently placed in position. A thorough
investigation of this contrivance seemed
10 prove beyond doubt that Mr.. .sAndrus
was murdered deliberately. The wires
ran along the cellar wall, near the ceiling.
occasionally being twisted around the
steanlpipe to keep them in place, to the
wall at the rear end of the cellar and over
to the wall opposite and thence to an old
fashioned furnace.
Here the ingenuity of the assassin dis
played itself. To a protruding bolt on one
end OF the furnace was fastened one of the
wires an end of about four feet hanging
below. From the end of this wire he
clumsily scraped oft about two inches of
the insulation, with which he formed a
loop, leaving inside the loop about an
inch of the insulation.
Then he took the end OF the other wire
and made similar loop, joining the two
together. To the second wire was attached
string about twenty feet long, to the
center of which was fastened q piece OF

SnOthered.

A twelve year old boy met his death by sufocation at Lopez ranch, on the Eittle Colorado River, fifteen miles west of here, on Sunday last. The facts, as related to HERALD reporter, are as fol- lows: Jose Anssres had living in his family Navajo Indian named Juan whom he had adopted when very young and has since treated as 8 son in his own family.
 Mir. Ansares has lately had the boy employed in herding the few sheep which he owns and keeps near his ranch on the Little Colorado River. Juan, on Sunday, while the sheep were resting at noon, was playing on the side hill ,and had evidently dug small cave, into which he had crawled. It is SUD- that in attempting to crawl out he struck the top, Ioosening the sand, which fell down. covering him up en- tlrely, with the exception of his feet. and thus smotherug him to death.
 This IS the second child who has met a violent death in this same locality. within the last month. Some time age a child of two years. while delirieus with fever, managed to escape frcm the house while it was left alone, and when found shortly afterward, it was dead drowned in 8 deep water-hole into which the poor child had jumped.
