STORY or THE PASSENGERS.
They Were Kept in the Dark as to the
 Seriousness of the Accident.


 Seriousness of the Accident.
 New York, July 1S.-On board the New Haven line steamer G H. North am, which arrived at her dock at Peck's slip at o'clock this evening were the belated passengers of the Fall River liner Plymouth, which was dis abled in Tuesday nights terrific storm. The passengers, about 160 in all, were transferred to the Northam just inside the New Haven light at noon after having been buffeted about in a raging sea for ten hours, on helpless boat. According to the majority of the pass engers there were but few of them who realized that a serious accident had happened until many hours after it had taken place. Most of them agree that there was little or no excitement on board the Plymouth, and that what ever chance there might have been for a panic was averted by the officers and crew of the vessel. The utmost secre-
 
 cy as to the full extent of the accident was reserved by those who knew. Beyond the fact that something had happened to one of the paddle wheels of the Plymouth none of the passengers was able to tell the exact nature of the accident.
 According to the statements of some passengers the accident occurred about 2 o'clock this morning. Suddenly there was slight jar apparently coming from the port side, near the bow of the vessel. The shock was scarcely heavy enough to awaken the majority of the passengers. A few of them hurried on deck, however, to ascertain what had happened. They were assured that nothing serious was wrong and went back to their berths. An hour or so later, however, the vessel began to toss about, and this awakened several of the passengers. There was another and this time larger gathering on deck. The boat was drifting on the stormy sea. Both her paddle wheels had stopped.
 In answer to inquiries, the officers in- formed the passengers that there had been a slight accident to one of the paddle wheels and that the boat would be unable to proceed until aid could be summoned. The passengers were assured that there was nothing seriously wrong and most of them re- turned to their state rooms. Distress signals were sent up and shortly after 3 o'clock the tug Luckenbach drew alongside the drifting boat. There was a hasty explanation and the Plymouth was taken in tow by the tug. Orders were given for the tug to proceed to New Haven. The passengers were in formed that they would be transferred to one of the New Haven boats and | landed at their destination. The Plymouth arrived outside of New Ha- ven lighthouse shortly before il o'clock, just as the Northam was leaving on her regular trip to New York In answer to a signal she drew alongside of the 1 Plymouth and the passengers were transferred

 Many others who were injured were taken to their homes and their names are not obtainable. The fire started in the varnish room, and so little was thought of the blaze at first that the men in the room did not give the alarm thinking they could put 1t out. Sud- denly the flames leaped out into the main shop and enveloped the whole building, in which one hundred men were employed. Those on the ground floor had no trouble in escaping, and most of the men on the second floor got out without injury. The workmen on the third floor were caught as in g trap Several were blinded by the smoke be- fore help reached them. Many of the workmen appeared in windows crying for help, while others jumped to the street below, receiving fatal or serious injuries. The firemen could only pre- vent the progress of the flames to other buildings. Two hundred men will be thrown out of work. The plant will be rebuilt.

DEWEY AND THE GERMANS.
Admiral's Readiness in Meeting Grav'
 Situation Pleases Administration.

AdmiraEs Readiness in Meeting Grave
 Situation Pleases Administration.
 Washington, July 13.-The adminis- tration is very much pleased with the readiness shown by Admiral Dewey. in meeting as he did, the grave issue pre- scented to him at Subic bay. Naval of- f7icers, too, were not a little glatiheI at the speedy retirement of the German cruiser Irene after the appearance of the Raliegh and Concord. A compari- son of the ships shows that the Irene was much superior to either of the two American vessels and in tonnage was almost as large as the Raleigh and Concord together. From this it is in- ferred that the retirement of the Irene was for motives of general policy rath- CT than from any indisposition to try conclusions with the two American ships. The Irene Is a protected cruiser of 4,000 tons, built of steel with three screws two tunnels and two military masts. Her protected deck is of steel three inches thick. Her armament consists of II six inch guns, 8 one pounders, four torpedo tubes and one torpedo vedette boat The Raleigh is is 3,1S3 tons and the Concord of 1,700 tons. The Raleigh has a protected deck of fl inch thickness and the Con- cord a protected steel deck of 1 1-3 inches. Together the two Americans have about forty guns, four Calling guns, eight torpedo tubes.

Hong Kong, July 13-Letters re- ceived here from Cavite under date of July say that while the Spanish steamer Fillipanas was hiding in the river near Subic the crew mutinied and killed the officers, Then they handed the steamer over to the insurgents, who armed the vessel and dispatched it to Subic for the purpose of making an attack on Granda Island. The letters confirm the story told by The Asso- ciated Press correspondent at Manila in regard to the action of the German warship Irene and the steps taken by Admiral Dewey to prevent interference with the insurgents, adding that the Spanish prisoners. in spite of their protests, were handed over to the in. surgents with the captured arms and ammunition. The Germans, it appears, fraternize with the Spaniards and Ger man officers are often seen in the Spanish trenches. Dysentery is re- ported to have broken out among the American troops.

II O'Clock. At that time the Mayor,
after hearing the evidence. agreed not to
punish the man if he would leave town.
This he promised to do.
Edwards is one of the worst looking
and most pitiable specimens that has
been before the court in long time.
