LINER ROCHAMBEAU
 DOCKS AT BORDEAUX
418 Passengers Landed-Cause of Fire Aboard French Steamer Not
 Yet Determined.

Bordeaux, France, Nov. 16, 1905 b. m.-The French liner Rochambeau which caught fire in a reserve coal bunker after leaving New York for this port on Nov. 6, but whose crew succeeded in extinguishing it arriv- ed here last night and landed her 41s passengers this morning. After the experiences of their trip the passen- gers were unusually glad to get ashore.
 The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Members of the crew began to smell smoke at a. m., on the second day out. The smoke was traced to a store room of the third hole. Captain Juhan, first searched for the fire amongst the cargo but found evidently that it had originated in the coal bunker under the store room. The bunker was flooded and in @ few hours the fire was completely extinguished.
 It has not been possible for the officers of the liner to determine the cause of the fire. Although they considered the possibility that it nights have been due to an malevo- lent act, they thought it more prob able it was caused by spontaneous combustion.
 The prompt efforts taken by the steamers officers to smother out the fire resulted in preventing panic or even anxiety on the part of the passengers.
