Brooklyn to-day.
The majority Of the fugitives we're
American born. Fleeing from points In
the interior. they swarmed aboard at
Vera Cruz in such number that the
accommodations OF the ship were soon
swamped. There were forty mothers
and sixty babies and young children In
the list. too. and the problem Of caring
for all the travellers brought gray hairs
to the heads Of the crew. In order that
all might ave places to sleep 1t was
necessary to separate families. filling
some staterooms with men and others
with women.
Accordingly when tire ship ran Into
a dense fog early this morning and
had to lie off Quarantine a couple Of
hours there was n good deal OF excite
ment. Mothers ran about seeking chill
dren and wives looked for husbands
fearing thai In the mists a collision
with another ship might occur. For a
while there a a situation which
verge6 upon actual panic.
A Family Of Tragedy.
A pathetic figure among the passen-
gers was Miss Theresa Cambarrel. a
pretty girl OF twenty who travelled
with her mother anr sister, all three OF
them swathed in deep mourning. The
family formerly lived In Mexico but on
account OF the health of the father. a
well-to-do real estate operator. they
moved to New York.
A few months ago while the mother
was in Mexico Mr.. Cambarrel grew
suddenly worse and died. His two
daughters took the body 10 Mexico. II
had been arranged that Miss Theresa
Cambarrel was to be married on her
arrival TO Louis Bustemente. a young
civil engineer and a graduate OF the
Wisconsin School of Mines. to whom
she had been engaged several years.
The wedding was to have place very
quietly on the evening OF April 8.
The afternoon OF that day as Mr..
Bustementc was en- route 10 the City OF
Mexico revolutionists wrecked the train
n the young bridegroom was among
the killed. The bereft girl. accompanied
by her mother. went to the scene of the
tragedy the next day. found her fiance's
body ano buried II. Then she started
for the States. She Is said 20 be on the
verge OF a complete breakdown.
