HAD A ROUGH PASSAGE.
The Steamship Dresden Narrowly
Escapes Being Lost.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The North
German Lloyd steamship Dresden came
to her pier in Hoboken to-day with a
story of two monster waves which
boarded her at sea and threatened to
send the ship To the bottom.
The Dresden had rough weather from
the time of sailing from Bremen. but
the climax was reached at dawn on
January 9th. The ship was then in lati-
tude 10 degrees north, longitude 30 de-
grees west. A huge wave swept
aboard, broke in the door of the saloon.
and flooded that compartment The
room of Chief Steward Barre was filed.
and 1T is said that the steward had to
swim TO safety. He got jammed in a
doorway and his knee was wrenched
All the officers below had scramble in
escaping the flood to the deck. The sea
had thrown the vessel down to a dan
gerous angle. but she righted again
Then to prevent the steerage passen-
gers, of whom there were seventy five
on aboard, from rushing on deck, the
door of the steerage was locked.
AT Z O'Clock another immense wave
came aboard. striking the bridge and
knocking Chief officer Folger, who was
on duty, senseless. He recovered later
and came out of the hospital in five
days, with no injuries save a few
bruises. Two lfeboats were smashed
in.
The sea continued very rough. and
Captain Gross ordered four perforated
bags filled with machinery oil hung over
the side. This quieted the waves. and
there was no further trouble.

Who Was Convicted of Conspiracy by
Spanish Court.
The Tribunal in Its Conclusions Put
Stress Upon the Fact That the De-
fendant Showed Hatred for His
Ancient Country i'm Changing His
Nationality, While Continuing to
Enjoy Advantages of Spanish Leg
iSlation and Society.

HAVANA, Jan. 14.-At noon to-day
sentence was read in the case of Luis
Someillan, a naturalized American citi-
zen, found guilty of conspiracy against
the Spanish Government. The SEN
tence is that he be imprisoned for life
in chains
SomeIllan,s s lawyer Will appeal to the
Supreme Court at Madrid
Among the various conclusions of the
tribunal based on the charges against
the prisoner, the following was the most
important:
Whereas. Public rumor. in attribut-
ingto Someillan disaffection to the Span
ish cause was not misguided. since his
change of nationality for an unjustitied
and unexplained reason suggests a. ra-
uonal suspicion that whoever breaks in
such a way his traditions and history is
actuated by hatred of. or at least in
difference for his ancient country, and
changes his nationality in order to.
While continuing to enjoy the advan-
taSes of Spanish legislation and the GUS
toms of Spanish society carry in the
bottom Of his soul the ferment of sep
aration, of which Someillan is a living
and personal example"
The tribunal also discarded all the evil
dence favorable to the prisoner, saying
that there was eX-parte evidence of u
plot to misguide the tribunal.

mist party in Puerto Principe, has been

Evidence Not Sufficient to Grant Ex-
tradition Papers.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Edward r. Tay-
lor, alias Arthur w. Platt, who was ar
rested at oxford recently upon a war
rant obtained through the United States
Embassy, charging him with the mur-
der of Jesse Tyree in Kentucky in 1885,
and who has several times since been
arraigned in the BoWStreet Police
Court upon proceedings looking to his
eXtradition to America, was arraigned
in that court this morning.
Sir John Bridge, the presiding magis-
trate, said that he did not regard the
documentary evidence in the case which
had been forwarded here from Amer
ica as sufficient to justify Taylor's ex-
tradition to the United States, and in
consequence additional evidence has
been cabled for.
Upon his first arraignment Taylor
virtually admitted the crime with
which he is charged. but he now denies
it. Pending the arrival of further evi-
dence Taylor was remanded for another

leaders said: I'VE will let Mr.. Choate's
friends do the talking, but we will do
the voting" Mr. Choate only received
seven votes, but this was four more
than Mr.. Platt's friends had figured out
for him.
The joint caucus was held in the AS
sembly chamber. The spacious room
and galleries We're crowded long before
the appointed hour. Senator Ellsworth
at $50 O'Clock announced that the eau
Gus had met to nominate a United
States Senator and a Regent of the
University. Senator Parsons of Roch
ester was chosen Chairman.
When nominations for United States
Senator were in order Senator Brush of
Brooklyn named the Hon. Joseph H.
Choate. Assemblyman Sanger of
Oneida seconded the nomination of Mr.
Choate in a brief but enthusiastic
speech.
Senator Raines then asked if there
were any other gentleman who wished
to second the nomination or present the
name of any other candidate. No one
responded and he offered a resolution,
which was unanimously adopted, to the
surprise of everyone in the chamber,
who had expected to see Mr.. Platts
name formally presented. This was
Mr.. Raines' resolution: That the roll
of the members of this caucus be called
by the Secretary, and as each mans
name is called he will rise in his place
and name his choice for United States
Senator, and that the person receiving
the majority of the votes of all the Re-
publican Senators and Assenblymen be
the choice of this caucus, and be voted
for in the Senate and Assembly by
every member thereof"
At the conclusion of the roll call it
was announced that 149 votes had been
cast of which Joseph H. Choate re-
ceived Z and Thomas c. Platt 142 Mr.
Platt received the vote of every Repub-
llcan in the Legislature with the ex-
ception of those cast for Mr.. Choate
and Senators Ray and McKie, who
were absent.
