SIXTY PEOPLE KILLED. !
Terrible Disaster at a Launching
,..,,;., tss..,- in England. .--...,,:.
INSECURE STAGING COLLAPSED.

Despite tho Warnings and the Efforts
of the Police Two Hundred People
Crowded the Frail Structure-Thir-
ty-four Bodies Recovered.
London. June 22.-During the launch-
iEg of the new British first class battle-
ship Albion, of 1880 tons, at Black
well, yesterday. by the Duchess Of
York, a ceremony at which the United
States ambassador, Colonel John Hay
and Mrs. Hay. Lieutenant Colwell, the
United States naval attache, assisted,
thu displacement of water caused an
immense mass of water to rise on all
Sides completely destroying one of
the lower stages of the yard and im-
mersing hundreds of people. 1t is beA
levcd that 60 were drowned.
The Duchess of York and Colonel and
Mrs. Hay and the remainder Of the dis
tinguished guests did not see the acci-
dent which occurred at the moment
when three cheers were called for tho
successful launch. and the cries and
screams of the victims were drowned
by the outburst of hulrahs and the
steamers sirens Thousands who wit
messed the launching left the scene
quite ignorant of the disaster.
The staging that was destroyed had
been erected for workmen near the
stern of the Japanese cruiser In course
of construction in the Blackwell yards
1t was a light structure, about so feet
long. and notices had been posted
warning the public that 1t was dams
gerous. Despite the efforts of the po-
lice, some 200 people invaded the
staging, which commanded good view
, of the launching ceremony. Two great"
waves completely demolished 1t, and on
receding carried most of its occupants
into deep water. The water was alive.
with struggling people and floating de-
hrls. 1t was a scene of terrible cons
fusion.
Fortunately there was plenty of help
near in the shape of police boats and,
other craft. The shipbuiders. with
drags, and the firemen who partici-
pated in the ceremony, were all prompt
in affording succor. A number OF
nurses who had come to witness the
launching were among the engulfed.
Some of these and many others were
revived by artificial respiration. Soma
were inju.ed by coliding with tho
debris.
There was an ample supply Of re-
storatives soon available, and every
thing possible was done for the res
oucd, many OF whom were in a state
of complete collapse.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
as the identification of the dead slowly
proceeded. The bodies of five men, u
women and II children have been re-
covered thus far.

He refused to allow the vessel to take

was entitled to stay "a hours in order
to ship the necessary stores. To avoid
unpleasantness the captain of th.
