CIfnging to WrecI<age.

How Some of the Men Were Found
CIinging to Wreckage.
New York, Sept. 11-The steamer VII
dar, Capt. Sorrensen, arrived tonight
from Caibarien, having on board six
members of the crew of the British
steamer Mexicano, which foundered
during a gale on Sept. 16. Capt. Sor-
rensen said:
1T was sitting in my cabin about
O'clock yesterday morning when 1
heard a cry. Thinking some one was
fooling on board the steamer 1 went
out on the bridge to investigate. When
I reached the bridge 1 heard the cry
again. The sound seemed to come from
the ocean, but I could not see any one.
1 ordered a boat to be gotten ready,
and when 1 heard the cry a third time
I saw something in the water like a
small log, about a mile off. With the
aid of my glass found it to be a small
hatch with a man in oilskins stretched
full length on it,
Il Immediately steered for the man
and rescued him. He was completely
SAIduSleu anu Ildu " OS AdulSQ
aboard the boat. He was unable to say
a word, and thinking there were no
more, as l could see no wreckage
about, 1 started on my way. 1 had
proceeded about a mile when 1 saw
several objects in the water, which
could not plainly make out. Upon go
ing closer l found five more men
clinging to pieces of iwreckage. I had
the boat lowered again and picked up
the castaways. They, too, were eX-
hausted and one was nearly crazy. My
men had to hold him in the lifeboat,
for he was determined to jump into
the sea.
There was another steamer some
distance off, and I could see that they
had a lifeboat out, but 1 could not
distinguish her name"
One of the survivors, August Oster-
lind, native of Finland, says he
heard two pistol shots as he left the
ship and thinks some of the officers
shot themselves.
The survivors aboard the Vidar are
Seamen August Osterlind and Simon
Baderea. both of Finland: Firemen
Leonidas Korpedes of Greece, and
Sappe Pooh of Spain; Seaman Ross
Clementine of Manila. and Juan Fon-
tbs of Spain, a fireman.

REPORT OF MASSACRE
OF THOUSANDS BY TURKS
1t Is Said They Have Destroyed the
Town of kastOria.

Town of kastOria.
Sofia, Bulgaria. Sept. 1.-THE Foreign
Office here has received reliable infor-
nation that the Turks have destroyed
the town of Kastoria, thirty-six miles
south of Monastir, and have massacred
the population.
The report Of a massacre at Kas-
toria comes from sources admitting
of little doubt, though the details are
lacking. 1t was received with the
gravest concern by the officials here
The population of Kastoria numbers
about 10000 persons, and the mas
sacre of such a nuuyhsr in one place,
| if the report be true. exceeds any
| thing which has yet occurred in Mace
donia. At the present critical moment
when popular feeling is intense, the
effect of the report of such stupendous
slaughter may be most serious.
The press is assuming a bellicose
tone. The Dnevnik tonight complains
that the governments partial mobili-
cation of three divisions is utterly in
adequate and urges the immediate
mobilization of the whole Bulgarian
army.
The government, while steadily pro-
ceeding with the partial mobilization
plans, is endeavoring to avoid unneces-
sarily exciting the people, and con-
sequently, has resolved not to mobilize
any part of the Sofia garrison.
The War Office has recalled the Bull
garian officers who were studying in
the military schools of Russia, France,
Austria and Italy.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 1.-THE British
steamer Roxby, Capt. Shields, which
arrived here this morning from Port
1nglis. has on board Domingo Ballo
Reyarberay, the sole survivor of the
crew of twenty-five men on the Brit
ish steamship Mexicano, which foun-
dered with all on board off the South
Carolina coast Tuesday night.
Reyarberay caught a piece of wreck

was seen yesterday morning by the
Roxby and rescued.
The Spanlard through an interpre-
ter, told of the Mexicanos sinking.
The steamer was bound from Tampico
for Vera Cruz, with a cargo of petro
Ieum in bulk, when the full force of
the hurricane broke upon her. Noun
famous seas broke constantly over the
ship and finally one gigantic wave
crushed through her decks. The fire.
room was flooded, and the MeXicano
became helpless. For a few moments
she wallowed in the trough of the seas
and then plunged to the bottom.
The rescued man says hundreds of
gallons of oil were poured over the
ships side in an attempt to calm the
sea, and, if possible, save the ship.
When the MeXicano went down the
crew went with her. All boats had
long since been crushed by the force
of the waves, and the men were power
less to save themselves.
The Spaniard went under the YES
sell and by the merest chance became
entangled in some loose rigging and
spars. The buoyancy of these brought
him to the surface, and he made him.

DESTROYER LAWRENCE
BATTLED FIERCELY.
She Had Desperate Struggle with
the Atlantic storm.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 17.-After bat
thing for eight hours with a hurricane
that sent many much larger and
stauncher craft to the bottom, the tor
pedo boat destroyer Lawrence poked
her crumpled nose into port this after
noon with a foot of water in her after
engine room and the quarters of the
officers.
The Lawrence, under the command of
Lieut.. A. NJ. Proctor, ran head first
into the hurricane while a little south
of Atlantic City, on her way to this
naval station. The little craft was
frequently entirely buried beneath
enormous waves.
A complete survey of her injuries has
not been made at this writing. 1t is
known the plates of her port bow are
badly buckled and smashed, several
seams are opened. allowing liberal
leakage, and her bridge is carried away.
That the boat could have weathered
the gale is regarded as being great
victory for the seaworthiness of craft
of her class, and that no one of her
crew was lost is regarded at the navy
ward as nothing short of miraculous.
