ALEXANDRIA. Egypt Jan. 4.- Charles Grant. of Boston. one of two Americans known to have been aboard the liner Persia when she was tor pedoed and sunk with heavy loss of life off the Island of Crete Thursday. arrived In Alexandria yesterday with probably the only version of the Por. sia's sinking that will come from an American.
 Grants statement which was guard ed, was as follows: We were at din- ner and had just finished our soup when O terrific explosion occurred. The passengers were lowered to the lifeboats on the starboard side. [ jumped into the sea after the life boats were filled and reached some wreckage. From 1 o'clock Thursday until 1 o'clock Friday morning float. ed on my improvised raft, until I was finally hauled into one Of the five boats which got away safely froIa the ship. Later these boats were picked up by cruiser (name delet- ed)"
 Concluding, Grant said: Robert N McNeeley. United States consul at Alden, Arabia, sat at tho same table with me on the voyage. McNeeley has not been seen probably because his stateroom was on the port side of the Persia. It was a terrible scene. The water was as black as Ink with the passengers who were struggling to save their lives. Some of theun. fortunates were screaming, others were calling out goodbye. Those in one boat sang hymns"

TRANSATLANTIC
 CABLE. TOO. HAS
 ITS DIFFICULTIES

NEW YORK. Jan. {. - The trans Atlantic cable service today is badly crippled. owing to severe storms. which have torn out several Of the cables at their shore end.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-01-04


 The Alaska cable is broken. Some time during the night that slender strand of copper wire severed itself somewhere between Seattle and Sit ka. A test th.s morning shows that The break occurred near Seattle.
 That is ihe dope handed out this morning at the local cable office. The real truth of the entire matter is that the cable. iiguratiyely speaking. fell with @ hard thud right off the water wagon. However. there is one strange Incident in this falling off business and that is. being In a state that went wet four days ago. how could the cable fall off? It is presura- ed by the cable boys that the supply cached for future imbibation sudden ly was tapped with the above results.
 The breaking of thecable makes the fourth timo In a little ever a year. Three months ago the copper wire scre ped itcclf against @ rocky point near Port Townsend and parted com pany with itself. Fortunately the ca bieship Burnside happened to be at Seattle dock. with supplies aboard and instead Of taking several weeks 10 prepare for @ t-in actually left the dock twonty-four hours after the break and in remarkable time the break was repaired In Seattle that iea, is today the "astonisher" of the Cable office force Never before in the history Of the cable was tho Burn side able Co do anything within two or three weeks.
 At the present time the Burnside .s in Seattle but In what condition is' TO, known In the meantime The Elm. pore will receive its press service either by wireless or via the Canad- ian line Co Whitehorse. thence to Skagway and to Juneau by cable.
 There Is some truth In the report thot the recent earth movements on the coast might have been instrument ial In the cables breaking.
