steamer Monroe Seriously Damages
Uncle SANS Battleship.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 3.@The battleship
Virginia was rammed today in Hamp-
ton Roads by the Old Dominion liner
Monroe. Both vessels came after
wards to this port. The Mon
roe. inbound from New York,
landed her passengers at her pier
while the battleship following shortly
under her own steam, proceeded to the
Norfolk navy yard The Virginia sail
ed from Old Point about 8 o'clock
bound for Norfolk, and shortly after
ward the Monroe came in following the
battIeship through Hampton Roads.
Off SeWell's Point the Virginia slowed
down. apparently, and the Monroe i'm
mediately rang down.
The Virginia's steering gear seemed
to become deranged and she sheered
out Of her course. The Monroe could
not stop nor could she change her
course in time. SO she struck the battle
ship on the after part of her armor belt
and raked her starboard quarter. One
set of the battleship's davits were turn
ed inboard while two of the battleship's
six inch and one of her three inch aft
guns were raked and probably ma
teriailys damaged
The Monroe sustained a bad twist
of her steel prov and the damage to
her may prove more serious than now
apparent. A survey will be made Of
both vessels.
There were many immigrants aboard
the Monroe and when the ships crash
ed the women set up a loud outcry.
They were soon Gained.
