EXCURSIONISTS CAST AWAY
One Hundred Passengers Imperiled When
Steamer Strikes Bermuda Reef,

Trouble with Heavy Seas and Sue

SPEND NIGHT With WAVES WASHING OVER

HAMILTON. Bermuda, Feb. 1e,-The
Quebec Steamship company's Madiana, New
York, with 100 excursionists on board, went
ashore on the reef OF this island at 8
this morning.
The ship is a total loss, but all on board
were rescued and brought safely to land
after a perilous trip in lifeboats to a tug
standing n mile of. The mails and the
passengers baggage also were saved.
According to statements made by those
on board, Madiana was threading its way
during the night through the narrow chan
mel between the coral rect which leads to
Hamilton harbor, when It struck a reef
one and a half miles east Of North rock.
No explicit explanation is yet forthcoming,
the only information obtainable from the
officers being that the Channel light could
not be seen.
Passenger Rush on Deck.
All the passengers we're in their hunks
when Madiana struck, but the shock awak-
ened them and they rushed on deck, the
majority of them without attempting to
dress. Considerable alarm prevailed when
they found the vessel hard on, but the
officers claimed them.
A part Of the crew did not share the
GOODNESS OF the officers, but the latter soon
restored order among the troublesome sea-
men.
Madiana listed heavily, and when morn
ing broke lay broadside to the wind. The
passengers were huddled together on the
hurricane deck, the sea breaking over the
steamer, drenching them to the skin.
AS soon ns the news Of the wreck became
known here tugs left to render assistance.
The heavy sea, however, kept them some
distance from the wreck,
For some time no communication with
Madiana was possible.
At II this morning the crew OF Madiana
launched a toat, which was dashed to
pieces against the steamers side. A Sec
ond and more successful attempt was, how
ever, made a little later, when the first
batch OF passengers was lowered into the
boat and after much exertion carried to
the tug Gladisfen. Madiana's other life
boats were then launched in rapid sue
oession and the remainder of the passen-
gers and crew gained safety.
By the prompt action Of Engineer Nelson,
who had the bulkheads broken through. the
mails and light baggage were brought in
the last boats to the tug, which landed the
passengers, crew, mails and baggage here
this afternoon.
Joseph X. Crofut Of Hartford, Conn.
one Of the passengers, said:
GERS or passengers. The crew, however,
who were mostly foreigners, became dis
orderly at first, but discipline was soon
restored.

Compromise BiII is Ready.

The republican senatorial advocates OF a
compromise statehood bill have prepared
their measure, but are holding II back be-
cause of the opposition of democratic SEN
ators, and also because some Of the repub-
licans are not entirely reconciled to the
change.
Cabinet Is well Pleased.
President Roosevelt and his cabinet were
in session for nearly an hour and a half
today discussing among other matters the
chances for antitrust legislation. The
position OF the various bills gave great sat
isfaction.
Secretary Root brought again to the cab
inet's attention the necessity OF legisla-
ton regarding the currency OF the Philip
pines.
AS viewed by the administration the
necessity for both financial and other
remedial legislation for the Philippines is
very urgent. Indeed, IL something Of the
kind be not accomplished soon, there is
apprehension that another rebellion may
develop.
The president took up with individual
member of the cabinet some routine de-
partmental matters. but 1t is said the con-
sideration developed nothing Of great con-
sequence.
