 xessin Victoria Luise Wrecked.

Hamburg Line T0urist Ship Prfn.
 xessin Victoria Luise Wrecked.
 KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 1S.-The Hamburg-Amer line tourist steam CT Prinzessin Victoria Luise. from New York Dec. F for this port. went ashore during the night of Port Royal while on her way back to New York.
 The passengers on board were land ed here safely. :,
 Captain Bruinswig, who was in charge of the Victoria Luise when she struck, committed suicide by blowing out his brains in his cabin.
 In accounting for the stranding of the steamer it is explained that she was without pilot and the captain in charge He followed wrong course and piled her up on the rocks just un- der the lighthouse. Two hours later the captain locked himself in his cabin and blew out his brains. The officers of the ship and the German consul here made intellectual efforts to hush up the news of the tragedy.
 The Victoria Luise is pounding heav- fly. and the seas are breaking over her. but hopes are still entertained that she will be saved. She is resting on a rocky ledge.
 The body of Captain Bruinswig is still on board the Victoria Lulse.
 The Prinzessin Victoria Luise was launched at Hamburg in 1900 and was christened by the Countess von Wal dersee. wife of the famous field mar shal, Count von Waldersee of the Ger. man army. who was Miss Mary Esther Lee of New York city.
 She was designed and built as a cruising yacht. All of her appoint ments are after the most approved modern plans. and she has on board many innovations, several of which were suggested by Emperor William. She has been utilized in the excursion business entirely. She carried first class passengers only. limited fin num- Der. and never carried mails or cargo. She has been used extensively by the Hamburg line to convey tourists through the West Indies.

FRENCH NAVAL
VESSEL BURNED
Three Men Perish On Blazing
SchooIship.
TORpEDOES EXPLODE IN FIRE
The Excellent discipline Maintained
on the Burning Ship and Prompt
Work of the Rescue Crews Saves
Nearly 500 Men-Intense Excitement
At the Naval Station.

Toulog, France (By cable).-The
torpedo schoolship Algeciras, sta
toned in this harbor, was totally
destroyed by fire at late hour Sun
day evening.
The burning of the ship created
the greatest alarm throughout the
city. News of the fire was first con-
Heyed at about II O'Clock by the mr.
ing of cannon in the harbor. The
people hurriedly left the cafes and
theatres and rushed to the COCKS,
whence they could see the Algeciras,
mass of flames in the harbor. The
burning vessel stood out brilliantly
in the encircling darkness, and the
glare of the flames lit up the other
shipping and the coast and wharves.
There was terrible anxiety concern
ing the fate of the 500 men on board
until the authorities announced that
everybody had been taken off in
boats and saved, with the exception
of three. Those men did not answer
the roll-call, and it is presumed they
were burned to death.
AS soon as the men had been taken
off the flaming vessel, 'the efforts OF
the authorities were directed to safe
guarding the other ships anchored in
the vicinity of the Algeciras, includ-
ing the new battleship Patrie and the
torpedo gunboat La Hire. These two
warships were towed to places OF
safety.
The authorities came rapidly to
the conclusion that the Algeciras was
doomed, and she was left to burn her
self out
The discipline maintained on board
the Algeciras was excellent. A ma
jority of the men were cool and col
lected. The small boats of the Alge-
ciras were launched, filled with men
and rowed away, while those who
could not leave in this manner await
ed the arrival of their rescuers. A
few of the men, however, were forced
by the flames to jump overheard and
swim away. Six torpedoes on board
the schoolship exploded while the
men were leaving the vessel.
There was much fear during the
height of the fire that torpedo mag
azine on shore would become ignited,
but this was prevented by deluging
water from powerful fireboats.
1t is not known whether the fire
originated from an explosion of
powder or broke out among the stores
on board
The Algeciras for IL years had
been employed as a torpedo training
ship. She was of 5,047 tons dis
placement and was built in 1855.

Washington, D. G. Especially. -
President and Mrs. Roosevelt return
ed at 1912 P. M, Tuesday, from
their journey to the Isthmus OF Pana-
ma and Porto Rico on the yacht
Mayflower, a day ahead of time, thus
breaking one more record on Wnat
has been from start to finish q re-
markable journey.
The original program called Tor
the Presidents home coming on the
night of the 9th. When he reached
Colon on the way down it was 8
hours ahead of schedule time, and
the reception committee was still
at the other end of the listhmus.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt left
Washington on their isthmian jour-
ney at P. MI November 8. so they
have been absent just 1S days.
The President brings back with
him mass of facts and observations
which he will work up into special
message to Congress.
The President and party, including
Mrs. Roosevelt and maid, Surgeon
General Rixey, of the Navy, and Sec
rotary M. G. Latta were transferred
from the battleship Louisiana to the
yacht Mayflower at o'clock Monday
afternoon, at Piney Point, in Chesa-
peake Bay, just below the mouth OF
the Potomac, where the Mayhower
and the Dolphin were waiting. The
Dolphin accompanied the Mayf1ower
to Washington.
The President landed within 10
minutes after the arrival of the
Mayfower. To those who met him
he stated that he had had de-
lightful trip and that he was feel
ing finely. The President and Mrs.
Roosevelt Immediately proceeded to
the White House, which they reach
ed shortly after II o'clock. AS the
President alighted from his carriage
he shook hands with all the attaches
and others waiting on the portico.
Speaking of his trip, the Presi-
dent said 1--WE had very pleasant
very enjoyable time, and / was
deeply impressed with the United
States Navy, with Panama and with
Porto Rico"
Pedro Roquena Bermudez, charge
d'affairs of Uruguay, was the only
member of the diplomatic corps who
greeted the President upon his ar
rival. At the front entrance to the
navy yard Senior Bermudez was de-
layed by the marine guard, who re
fused to admit him without the con-
sent of the commandant.
After being delayed for 20 min
utes, he was admitted, and when the
President appeared on the deck OF
the Mayflower the diplomat was the
first to rush up the gangplank. He
protested to the President against
the manner in which he had been
traeted by the marine guard.

GIRL SAVES HER FATHER.
Charge OF Murder Changed From
Him To His Brother.

Marion, o. Especially Lena Cuff
fritta obtained the freedom of her
father, John Guiffritta, who was &C
cused of numbering his wealthy
brother. She also caused her fathers
brother, Joseph, to be charged with
the murder.
Theodore Grasse, aged %, the
girls sweetheart, claims that Joseph
Guiffritta had told him that he had
murdered his brother, and threatened
Grasse with death If he iivulged the
secret.
Lena Guiffritta pleaded with Grasse
to tell what he knew. For love of
her he finally consented. The gun
with which the murder was commit
ted was found in box in the base
ment of Guiffritta's store.
Sergeant Victor Churches, an Ital-
ian interpreter, was locked up all
night in cell between the prisoners
Saturday night. Churches said that

confession had as yet been secured
from him.

THREE KILLED, EIGHT WOUNDED
Fatal Accident At The East III
Kodak Park Works.

Rochester, N. Y. Especially "A ia
tai accident occurred at Eastman Ko-
dak Park Works, in which three men
were killed, eight seriously injured
and six slightly hurt. One of the
dead has been identified as James
Burns, of Rochester, and another as
Earl Cleveland, of Auburn.
The men were at work on a scat
fold near the top of two-story
building, which is one of eight build
ings in course of construction at Ko-
dak Park. 1t was known as the
emulsion building, and was con-
structed of steel, concrete and brick.
A hasty examination of the work
revealed that the probable cause of
the accident was the removal of the
supports of the steel flooring before
the concrete had properly set. About
20 workmen were on the upper scat
fold when the top floor gave way.
The roof and walls toppled in with
crash of concrete and bricks and
heavy steel Orders. The men were
hurled into the debris, falling about
40 feet. 1t was known that at least
three men were killed, while 10 We're
carried to the hospital in ambulances.
AS the men worked by numbers, the
injured cannot be identified until
the contractors look up the names
and the numbers in their books.

-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS LEFT.
Frisco May Build A Hospital With
Relief Fund.

San Francisco Especially With
$4,000,O0O still on hand to be de-
voted to the relief of the refugees, it
is stated that the relief committee
has had several executive meetings
to determine what shall be done with
the money.
1t is claimed that the directors OF
the relief work find that the need of
relief has passed, except such cases
as can be taken care of by the regu-
lar charity organizations.
Allan Pollock, it is said, is in favor
of establishing a 100000 hospital
with a part of the fund which Her
bert B. Law would turn over to the
regular charity organizations. AS the
wishes of the donors of the relief
funds may have to be consulted, no
decision has as yet been arrived at.

Cherbourg (By Cable).-In the
collision in dense fog between the
North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse and the British
Royal Mail steamer Orinoco four
steerage passengers were killed and
seven persons injured. On the ORR
noco three men and woman were
killed, six women and a man were
injured and five persons were knock
er overheard and drowned.
The four steerage passengers killed
out right on the German steamer
we're Geo. Muhlbeier and Samuel
Croissant, of Worms; Michael zim-
belman, of Forbach, and Anna Kouce-
lik of Cecelowiz, Bohemia. A girl
named Stevier was, disemboweled and
died in a hospital.
When the collision occurred the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was
steaming at the rate of II knots an
hour from Cherbourg, after having
touched here on her voyage out.
The Orinoco was bound for this port
when the accident happened. The
commander of the Orinoco claims
that he signalled that he was going
to starboard of the North German
Lloyd vessel, but that the latter held
her course across the Orinvco.s bows
and only went to port OF the ORR
nocS when it was too late.
Breach Twelve Feet Wide.
The engines of the Orinoco, it is
added, were reversed so soon as it
appeared likely that an accident
would occur, but she crashed into the
starboard bow of the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse, making breach IL feet
wide The stem of the Orinoco above
the water line was carried away as
the vessels cleared after the col
lision. The shock threw all the pas
sengers on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse off their feet and the greatest
excitement prevailed, especially in
the steerage of the German vessel.
The captain of the Orinoco ordered
boats to be cleared away, but the
panic on board of that ship was gen.
eral. Some of the crew jumped into
and launched two of her boats and
several frenzied women attempted to
get into them as they were being
lowered over the side. One boat
was swamped when it struck the
water.
Rescued From The Water.
So soon as the accident occurred
a number of small boats from Cher
bourg put out to the scene of the
collision and succeeded in rescuing
some of the sailors and passengers,
who were struggling in the waves,
but five of the crew of the Orinoco
are believed to have been drowned.
The German ship sustained the
most damage, the loss being esti-
mated at 100000.
The damage to the Orinoco was
confined to her bows.
Both vessels remain in the road
stead here.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
carried 25S first-class passengers, in
GLIDING Thos. Sammons, the Ameri-
can consul general at Niuchwang,
and Jay White, the American consul
general at Bogota, Colombia, recent
ly consul at Hanover. There were
also on board $50 second-class and
| 700 third-class passengers.
