COAST GUARD CUTTER RESCUES PASSENGERS AND MEMBERS OF CREW OF WARD LINER ANTIlIA WHICH CAUGHT FIRE IN MlD-OCEAN AND BURNED
STEAMER IS BEING
 TONED INTO PORT
CAPTAIN OF SHIP IS UNABLE TO ASSIGN CAUSE FOR THE FIRE PRAISED BY PASSENGERS FOR THEIR HEROIC WORK.
Associated PresS.D

OLD POINT COMFORT Na., Oct. 8.-The coast guard cutter Onondaga has succeeded in rescuing the pas sengers and members of the crew of the burned Ward liner Antilla, ac- cording to wireless dispatches re ceived here She is bringing those rescued to port here. while the hulk of the liner, still burning, is being lowed into Hampton Roads.
 The AntiIla, bound from Cuba t9 New York with a large number of passengers and a cargo of fruit, caught fire last night about 120 miles off the Virginia capes. She sent wireless calls for help and num- Der of steamers rushed to her rescue, but they were not able to reach the scene before the passengers and the crew were compelled to take to the small boats to save themselves from being burned to death.
 The wireless dispatches received from the Onondaga state that the captain of the Antilla is unable to assign a cause for the conflagration. He says that the fire was not dis covered until it had gained consider able headway, and that it was i'm possible to extinguish the flames. He therefore decided to trust the lives of his officers, crew and passengers to the mercy of the waves.
 Many heroic acts were performed while the rescue work was going on, according to the dispatches. The disembarkatlon from the burning craft was performed without the least hitch, every soul on board be- ing placed safely in the small boats. The captain of the Antilla himself was the last man to leave the ship. In fact, he did not leave it until the rescue ships approached.
