MALE PASSENGERS FIGHT FOR
THE BOATS.
Trample Down Women and Children.
Heroic Action of the Crew-Great
Hardships-No Lives Lost.

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, June 26.-
Steamer Lusitania, Captain Mckay, of
the Orient Steam Navigation Co., went
ashore 20 miles north of Cape Race be-
fore daylight this morning.
The Lusitania was bound from Liver
pool for Montreal with a large cargo,
and a shipload of passengers. She mis-
took her course in dense fog and went
ashore.
The passengers, mostly immigrants
were panic-stricken. They stampeded
and fought for the boats but were over
come by the officers and crew, who
secured control after prolonged strug-
gle with the rougher element among
the passengers, who used knives.
The women and children were landed
first, and the men followed. The crew
stood by the ship.
The passengers of the Lusitania had
a terrible experience. The first know
ledge which they had of the disaster
was when, owing to the ship rasping
over the rocks, they were all hurled
from their beds by the shock. Many or
them were bruised and they all hurried
on deck in their nightclothes. A scene
of great excitement ensued.
Three hundred people were clamoring
to escape while the crew tried to pacify
them and to launch the boats. The male
passengers, in their attempt to seize the
boats, trampled the women under foot
and. as already cabled. fought the crew
with knives. Some of the more clear
headed of the passengers assisted the
crew in their efforts to get out the
boats.
The women and children rescued were
almost naked. Drenched with spray
they were pulled up the cliffs by the
coast people. Some of the boats were
demolished in the surf while attempting
to land, and their half drowned oceu-
pants held on to rocks, shivering with
cold, until rescued.
This morning the unhappy passengers
after shivering for hours on the hill top
tramped over weary miles in their en-
deavor to reach the houses of fishermen
which they eventually succeeded in do
ing and where they are now sheltered.
Previous to reaching the cliffs the
passengers passed two hours of terrible
anxiety on the wreck
coast people. Some of. the boats, were
anxiety on the wreck. 1t is believed
no lives were lost.

A HILo DOCTORS BILL TURNED
DOWN.
DR.. Grace Attends a Man Shot by
Policeman But Cannot Collect for
His Services.

The Supreme Court this morning
gave a unanimous decision, written by
Chief Justice Frear, in the case of DR..
John j. Grace VS.. the Territory. hold
ing that the doctor cannot collect for
services rendered at the request Of
Sheriff Andrews OF Hawaii to a man
who had been injured by a policeman.
The decision is as follows:
rIn February, 1901, policeman at
Hilo. Hawaii, without authority, tusti-
fication or extenuation by law, shot and
wounded a private citizen. 1t imme-
diately became necessary to extract the
bullet from the wounded man. The
sheriff of Hawaii requested the plain
tiff who was a licensed physician and
surgeon practicing in Hilo, to perform
the. operation, promising him reason
able compensation for the service by
the Department of the Attorney Cen
eral The plaintiff performed the SER
vice in a skillful manner and rendered
a bill therefor to the said department.
The question is whether the Territory
is liable.
I'm our opinion the sheriff was with
out authority to bind the Territory for
an operation upon private citizen
made necessary by an unauthorized
act of a policeman. At

Jockey Bullman, the Californian, to
whom fell the honor of taking two Der

human maelstrom after he had dis
mounted and verified his weight. He
was boosted upon the shoulders of men
and detail of bluecoats had to be call

provided for the winner.

opinion of every unprejudiced specta-

the Derby workout that induced his
owner to ship him from New York tc
the Washington Park track at the
eleventh hour. was seventh away at
the drop of Starter Dwyer's red flag,
after the field had made one false
break. Piggott had orders to make a
killing pace. He at once took the fav-
orite to the front and there The Para
der remained until the stretch was
reached. Piggott is a stronger rider,
but he did not figure upon all of the
problems that were known TO Jockey
John Buliman, who rated his mount in
to second place and kept Robert Wad-
dell within striking distance until the
head of the stretch.

HE SPRINGS THE ANNEXATION
SCHEME.
Denies That He Owns the Republican
and Talks of His Famous Contempt
Sentences.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-1n a
lengthy interview in the Examiner,
with Circuit Judge Humphreys of Ho-
nolulu the following occurs
Now the real news from the islands
Is much more important than anything
L could tell you about myself. 1t is
this: There Is a big plan on foot to
annex the Hawaiian Islands to the
State of California and it is backed
by men of wealth, character and brains.
There are many islanders who believe
IL would be better to be part of a great
state than the whole of q mere terri
tory. They offer many plausible in
ducements, for instance, an addition to
your population, a greater voting
strength, another congressman, an in
crease in the diversity of California's
products. These advantages for your
selves.
"Our advantages would be through
Hawaiian representation, every bene
fit that attaches to your system of ju-
risprudence, appeals to the supreme
court based on the decisions of fifty
years; in fact, all the benefits that ac-
crue from a developed and enlightened
civilization. An annexation would tend
to build up the commercial relations
between San Francisco and the islands
to great degree. And it would be the
solution of all the political puzzles that
now disturb the peace of the Territory
and retard it's natural development"
The Judge was certainly enthusiastic.
g. Coming back to his own affairs he said:
II must be reticent. Only this: The
whole fight was inaugurated by the
friends of Governor Dole who failed to
get what they wanted under the new
administration. 1t is the same crowd
that is fighting Estee.
Kindly correct a statement in the
San Francisco press" he said Ito the

Captain WALLACE IS HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR A MATES
CRUELTY.
Awful Brutality Described by Men
From the Forecastle of the Bark
Sea King.

Captain e. Wallace of the bark Sea
King was held yesterday for trial on a
charge of cruelty on the high seas sim
ply because he did not prevent the al
legged beating of one of his men by the
mate. A number of sailors from the
vessel told United States Commissioner
Robinson a story of terrible brutality
and cruelty, and though it was admit
ted by both sides that the captain took
no part whatever in the cruelty, he was
held for not having prevented it.
The ruling aroused Captain Wallace S
Indignation, and he and other ship
masters in port declare that under
such rulings a master cannot command
his ship. Honolulu is getting a repu-
tation in shipping ports all over the
world as a port to which 1T is very
dangerous for vessels to come with ILL
treated men on board.
The man who is said to have been as
saulted on the Sea King is John Deer
ing, an able seaman. According to the
testimony he was given fearful beat
ing, and even bitten, by the mate. The
story was that the mate, John Douglas
and Deering got into fight last May
between here and Newcastle, and that
the end of it was that the second mate
held the unfortunate seaman while the
first mate showered brutal blows upon
him. He was bitten in the neck, kicked
and his face and head were terribly
bruised.
Deering cried out while he was be-
ing held helpless and thrashed. The
noise aroused Captain Wallace who was
asleep in his bunk, and he came on
deck. 1t was held that If he saw the
assault and did not stop it at once, he
must be held with the mates for trial
Captain Wallace's testimony was to
the effect that ii was a fair fight, as far
as he knew, between the man and the
mate and that he did not reach the
deck until it was over. According to
several of the men the captain was on
deck, watched the end of the brutality
and when the helpless sailor cried out
that he had been beaten enough, swore
at him and roughly asked If he had had
enough. The mate, the cook, and the
cabin boy agreed with the captain s
story that he was not present at all,
until after the fighting.
District Attorney Dunno quoted the
following from federal decision: "a
master of a vessel is liable for an un-
justifiable assault and battery by one of
his officers upon one of the crew, when
the same is done by his connivance,
consent or authority. The consent and
authority of the master will be pre-
sumed when 1t appears that he knew
of the trespass or had reason to know
ii, and did not interfere to prevent it. -
Under this decision ii was decided
that the captain would be liable If a
jury should believe that he was pres
ent, and he was ordered held In 81 600
bail to answer for cruelty on the high
seas. w. A. Kinney appears for the
captain and mates.

During that time the mercury drop
per 19 degrees, but when the wind dim

the heat seeming, if anything, more in
