passengers aboard. was proceeding
through Vineyard sound in tho star
light early this morning tho vessel
suddenly ran upon a rock on Nobska
point.
The passengers. awakened by the I'M
pact, rushed upon deck in their night
clothing, but when they found that
there was no immediate danger they
returned to their berths. The Bunker
Hill backed off easily in a short time.
The pumps were then set to work. and
the steamer, leaking badly, proceeded
to Vineyard Haven harbor' where she
remained for several hours. Soon after
sunrise the passengers were trans
ferred to the steamer Uncatena ana
taken to Woods Hole and thence to
Boston by train.
Although no official statement has
been made an officer Of the Bunker Hill
stated today that the ship was trying
to avoid striking a tow of barges.
Freed of her 275 passengers, tho
Bunker Hill started for New York. Al
though leaking considerably, the ships

thirty-five. About year ago
the steamer was rebuilt for passenger
service, prior to that time having been

day night ran into the schooner susan
Pickering in Long Island sound, only
few miles from where the Bunker Hill

Say Quiet Prevails.

Advices to the State and Navy Depart
ments today from Minister Furniss and
Capt. Oman, commanding the Des Moines
at Port all Prince, were to the effect that
President Simon had sailed on a Dutch
steamer for Kingston. Jamaica, and that
the revolutionary forces are in control
Of the entire country. Despite the press
reports Of sanguinary clashes between
the police and revolutionists In Port au
Prince, both tho minister and the naval
commander say that quiet prevails. Brit
ish and German forces arc in charge Of
the legations Of those countries and OF
German banking houses, but so far as
known. have not undertaken to interfere
with the general situation or to discrimi-
nate between the Firnin and LIE Conte
parties in their struggle for supremacy.
Capt Oman stated that he himself had
landed no forces and that there was no
disorder, which is without doubt the rea-
son he did not do so. It was said at the
State Department and also at the Navy
Department that Capt. Oman has COM
plete discretionary authority to deal with
the situation, and that he may land blue
jackets (there are no marines on the
American vessels In Haiti Just now when
ever he finds 1t necessary to do so. It is,
of course, understood that he will con-
suit freely with American Minister Fur
Miss and be guided largely by the min
ister's long experience and knowledge Of
Haitian affairs.

there is certain to be debate. The loan

Mr.. Knots expulsion the proceeding
ended for the present.

ing He made reference to the solid
support given him by the members of
the Warrenton Church. and intimated

judges Of his guilt or innocence than
the members Of the trial committee,
who. in instances. knew him bu
slightly.
He was particularly earnest in his re-
marks, and said that he would welcome
the day when the full committee on ap-
peals Of the General Southern Methods
