Steamer on the Elbe Struck
by a Tug About 50
People Lost.

Hamburg, July 21.-The steamship Pri-
mus of Hamburg, with 1856 passengers on
board, was cut in two and sunk by the
tug Hansa on the river Elbe at 1890
o'clock this morning.
So far as is ascertainable, about fifty
persons were drowned. Thirteen BOXES
were recovered at once. (,.I.@ Il.

bers of the Eilbeck male choral society.
At the time of the accident the Primus
was crossing tho river channel near
Blankenez from the southern into the
northern fair-way. According to wit
nesses aboard the Hansa the movement
was made too precipitately. .r..

steamer ashore, but the tug grounded apd
the ships parted The Primus then sank.
In the interval, however, about fifty OF
her passengers we're able. to reach the
Hansa by means Of ropes and ladders.

Tor moneys and valuables that they had

for moneys and valuables that they had
deposited in the company's strong boxes.
For time there was almost panic in
the crowd. The Office force of the de-
posit company was unable to cope with
the great demand for verif1cation Of sigma
lures and in the vaults the turnkeys for
several hours were unable to open boxes
fast enough to keep down the crowd.
The police have secured no clues as yet
as to the disappearance of the currency
belonging to the race track men. The
management of the vaults scoff at the idea
that the money has been taken, but the
police take the booknakers statement as
truth. They said to-day that 1t would
have been very easy matter to secure
duplicate keys and to have pilfered the
boxes. .-s
The Lost Money. - rnt.s :
When the FIVE bookmakers of the Wash
tngton park races called for their deposits
Saturday they claim that they found the
boxes empty. The boxes we're securely
locked, they admit, and bore no. evidence
of having been tampered with. ~.
The bookmakers and the sums they al
lege they, lost are: George Rose, S13,36O;
X. N. Murphy, $3.50; Ed Sturgeon,
$1,000; Harry Laudeman, s4,7eo; Doc
Rainey, $4,000.
The discovery or the alleged losses
came as the result of a visit paid the
vaults by j.. B. Norvall, cashier for Muir
ply. After passing the guards and going
through the iron gates. in the tier Of
night vaults where the bookmakers made
their deposits, he called watchman to
unlock the outer door to Murphy's box
and then unlocked the inner door to the
box himself with key given him by
Murphy. He says he expected to f1nd when
the box was opened, the money and GER
tifcates Murphy had deposited the night
before. Instead, he says, the box was
empty. -. ----l = - = - - --t-----t

Washington, July 21.-Friends of Gen.
eral Jacob H. Smith, who was placed on
the retired list by direction Of the presi-
dent for his order to "kill and burn" in
Samar, contends that the president has no
power to retire General Smith as part Of
the court martial sentence. The presi-
dent has the power to review court martial
proceedings and to mitigate sentence but
he has no power to increase the sentence.
This is what he did in the case Of Gen.
eral Smith The result, it Is asserted,
is to vitiate the entire proceedings. The
friends of General Smith say he will ap-
peal to the civil courts to be restored to
the active list of the army. In any case,
General Smith would win barren vic
tory All the president would have to
DO would be to revoke the sentence of
dismissal and issue a new order placing
General Smith Oil the retired list for age.
