CLAIMS
DECISION IS IN.

Washington, March 6.-The Span
ish treaty claims committee has
handed down a decision adverse to
the claimants on account of death
and injury received on the battle
ship Maine, blown up in Havana
harbor.
The commission holds that "indi
vidual claims of citizens of one ma
ton may arise against the govern
ment of another nation for redress
of injuries to persons on property
which such citizens may have sus-
tained from such government or any
of its agents. But such individuf
claims to do not arise in favor of Of
ficers and seaman of ship of wal
who receive, in line of duty. injuries
to their person for viii
country is responsible A claim
against a foreign government is
wholly national and all injuries of
such officers and seamen are merged
in national injury and they can
look only to their own government for
such remuneration as it may choose
to give them
"A seaman injured by the explo-
sion which destroyed tie battleship
Maine in the harbor of Havana, had
no individual claim against Spain,
even if that government was respon-
sible to the United States for the ex-
plosion, and therefore such seamen
is not entitled to an award in his
favor from the Spanish claims com
mission"
Claims so far filed with the com
mission which will be affected by
this decision amount to about $2,5O0,-
600, which woulo probably be in
creased to $4,000 900 had the decis-
ion been favorable to the claimants.

Liverpool, March THE British
steamer Harmonides. from Brazilian
ports, which was i'll collision with and
sadk the Red Star liner Waesland on
Wednesday night, 10 miles southwest of
Holyhead and which was towed into
this port this morning, has great hole
in her bow,
One of the rescued passengers of the
Waesland who was on board the Har
monides, said the Waesland was run in
to amidships during fog at midnight
and sank 40 minutes afterward, her
boilers bursting as she went down
The report that only two of the passen-
gers of the Waesland, a man and child.
lost their lives, appears to be confirmed.
In addition, one woman was injured.
Some of the Waesland's boats We're in
the water a couple of hours before ow-
ing to the fog, they could get alongside
the Harmonides.
When the Harmonides arrived, her
decks were crowded with the half clad
passengers of tie Waesland, whose hag-
gard faces told the story Of their trying
experiences. SO hurried was the depart
ure OF the passengers from the sinking
ship that in some cases they were coy
cred only with bankets, and handker-
chiefs were their only headgear
" hen the accident occurred, the two
steamers We're sailing slowly off the
coast of Anglesy, The Harmonides
crashed head-on into the Waesland and
broke away, making a great gap in her
side. Though the sea was perfectly
smooth, the densn' s Of the fog add to
the teITors of the passengers of the
Waesland omen rushed on deck
screaming, but were soon seassured by
the officers Boats were quickly low

fatalities The end of one of the life

itated the occupants of the boat into the
sea A steerage passenger Edward
Dangertield, of Kansas, was struck on
the head against the boats fittings aud
instantly killed, and Elsie Emmett, ~
years old, daughter of Rev A. Emmett
was drowned, The other persons in the
boat We're picked up.
The bravery of the passengers, many
of whom were Scandinavian immigrants,
was exemplary, Precedence was given
to wemen and children. AS the last
boats were leaving the fast sinking ship
whose decks were already awash. an
explosion announced that the boilers
had burst, and 40 minutes after the first
impact, the Waesland gave mighty
lurch and disappeared beneath the
waves.
