TO ATTEND THE GUBAN INAUGURAL Battleships Maine and Missis- sippi at Havana. Havana, Jan. 26—The American battleships Maine and Mississippi have arrived in Havana harbor. The Maine, flying the flag of Rear Admiral Conway H. Arnold, pointed the way and as she passed Moro castle began saluting the Cuban flag. This salnta- tion was returned from the Cuban fortress after the ships had fully en- tered the harbor. As the two ships made their way through the narrow barbor entrance the bands on their quarterdecke played Cuban national airs. The mu- 'sic, which could be heard on shore plainly, was greeted with desultory applause from the thousands of peo- ple who had crowded down to the sea walls of the city. Today 1is the eleventh anniversary of the arrival at Havana of the old battleship Maine, whose wreck still is to be seen in the harbor. While it is not believed that the arrival of the ‘oew Maine s intended to commem- orate this event the coming of the second battleship of this name on this day is regarded as quite appro- priate by the American residents of the city. & - The Muine and the Mississippi an- chored in plain view of the wreck of the old Maine. They will remain here for the ceremonies attending the In- president of the new republic, which takes place Jan. 28. 3 The agreement between the prin-- erles dispute has been the subject of auguration of Jose Miguel Gomez as | W B tTe) L@IR PASSENGERS AT NEW YORK Steamer Baltic Lands Sur- vivors of Sea Disaster. GRAPHIC STORY OF WRECK Physician on Board the Lost Liner Republic Tells of the Collision With the Florida and the Double Trans- fer of Passengers—North Dakota | Man Among the Six Persons Who Perizhed in the Accident. New York, Jan. 26.—The dramatic sea story of the wrecking of thé White Star liner Republic by the steamer Florida of Lloyd’s Italian line, in which six lives were lost and four people injured, came to a close when the big steamship Baltic of the White Star line came into port bearing on board more than 1,600 passengers of the sunken Republic and the crippled Florida. Stories told by the Repub- lic’s passengers show that the trans- fer of passengers from the Florida to the Baltic in the dark hours of Satur- day night came perilously near result- ing in a riot of the 500 Italian steer- age passengers on the Florida, who believed that their vessel was in im- minent danger of sinking. Only the efforts of the officers aided by several of the Republic’s passengers, quieted the frightened men, who sought to be the first to board the lifeboats. The officers of the Baltic report the deaths of Mrs. Hugene Lynch of Bos- ton and W, J, Mooney of Langdon, N. D., together with four negro sailors whose names are not known. The bodies of Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Mooney were placed in hermetically sealed caskets, which sank with the steamer Republic off Nantucket. Dr. J. J. Marsh;, physician on board the Republic, gave the most graphic story of the accident on the big liner. Dr. Marsh said: “I was in my cabin and, hearing three short whistles, knew that some- thing was wrong and turned out. I bad hardly got to my feet when the crash came. There was one heavy thud and then the engines stopped. Half a minute later the electric lights went out and when I opened my state- room I found myself in darkness. Passengers Show Pluck. “The saloon rapidly filled with wo- men and children, half dressed, but everybody did as they were told and there was no panic. Let me say now they were thoroughly Anglo-American people for pluck. I went on deck and saw the lights of the Florida through the fog. Captain Sealby gave orders to get the lifeboats ready and in the meantime all the passengers came up on the upper deck. It was then that Captain Sealby said to them: “‘I do not think the boat will sink. It will go to a certain point and hang there’ The women and children and men gave- three cheers for the cap- tain and then, with a few exceptions, went to their staterooms to get their clothes. Mr. Lynch is on board the Florida. He is brokenhearted over the loss of his wife. His leg is frac- tured. Mrs. M. J. Murphy of Grand Forks, N, D., sustained 3 severe in- Jury to her right limb and there is a steward on board the Florida by the name of Woodward who sustained a fracture.at the base of the skull, Mrs, Griggs, who was injured, had a mirac- ulous eseape. She was found under a pile of debris and for a time it was believed she was lost.” The transfer of passengers from the Republic to the Florida was effected without incident, but when it was found that the Florida had insufficient accommodations for the large number on board and that she would make slow time to New York the order to retransfer all passengers to the Bal- tic, which had arrived several hours beforp, was given. ' The night was dark and the fog hung thick over the troubled sea. Twenty lifeboats were used to carry the passengers from the Florida, which lay at distances vary- ing 200 yards to 500 yards from the Baltic. TRANSFER OF PASSENGERS Twelve Hours Occupied In Getting Aboard the Baltic. New York, Jan. 26.—H. J. Hover of Spokane, Wash., one of the Repub- lic’s passengers, described the trans- fer of the passengers from the Repub- lic and later from the Florida to the Baltic, The transfer of scantily dressed and frightened men and wo- men from the Florida lasted twelve hours, During the-night the; search- lights of the Baltic illuminated the sea, making-a weird picture as boat- load after boatload were safely gotten on board the Baltic. Two of the Re- public’s passengers tumbled into the sea while being placed in a boat, but were promptly rescued. Mr. Hover said that the injury to the Republic was abaft midships .on the port side just forward of the cen. ter hatch. Staterooms 34 and 28 were stove by the bow of the Florida, which withdrew from the gap almost instantly and vanished in the mist astern, leaving one of her anchors in the wreckage of the demolished state- rooms of the Republic. The impact and withdrawal were so swift that no one aboard the Republic had a chance to identify the steam- ship. In half an hour, however, sum- moned by the distress blasts of the kepublic, the Florida picked her way dhrough the murk and came along- zide. Captain Sealby had his own boats lowered and in these and those of the Florida all the passengers of the wounded liner were put aboard the Florida. = This operation took two hours in a placid sea. Injured Man on the Florlda.! ‘Among’the wounded who were 'put on the Italian liner was Eugene Lynch, whose wife had been killed in their stateroom on the Republic. Mr. Lynch’s. leg was' broken in -three vlages and he was otherwise injured. As it was ‘considered unsafe to trans- fer him to theBaltic he was leftsin charge of the Florida’s surgeon. Mr. Hover sald that there was very little panic aboard the Republic, al- though many came on deck in thefr night clothes, and that the disetpline of the crew was perfect. The collislon, he said, occurred be- tween 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning, Wwhen every one was in bed. A great many passengers were thrown from their bunks by the crash and many rushed wildly on deck in their bare feet. With the return of the Florida the transfer of passengers began. Carrying out the rigid rule ‘of the sea the women were placed in the boats first and in two hours all were safely on board the Florida. That ship was terribly crowded, however, and at the sonference between the captains of the Florida and the Baltic it was de- cided that another. transfer of pas- sengers was necessary. Accordingly this second hazardous undertaking ‘was begun. While the sea had been smooth during the transfer of pas- sengers from the Republic to the Florida the waters were now rough and the operation was necessarily more dangerous and of longer dura- tion. PRAISE FOR HERO OF REPUBLIC DISASTER House Listens to Eulogy of Marconi Operator. ‘Washington, Jan. 26.—Pausing for & mioment in its legislative activities the house of representatives listened to a eulogy of John R. Binns, the Mar- coni operator aboard the transatlantic liner Republic, who remained at his post until the ship went down, follow- ing the collisich Saturday with the Florida. ‘ Mr. Boutell of Illinois was given unanimous consent to address the house “on a matter of public interest.” After referring: to the collision Mr. Boutell, amid loud applause, said that throughout the whole critical period “there was one silent actor in the tragedy whose name should be immor- talized.” He specifically mentioned Binns by name and in conclusion said: > “Binns has given the world a splen- did {llustration of the heroism that dwells in many who are doing the quiet, unnoticed tasks of life. Is it not an inspiration for all of us to feel that there are heroes for every emer- gency and that in human life no dan- ger is so great that some ‘Jack’ Binns 18 not ready to face it.” Florida Passes Sandy:Hook. New York, Jan. 26.—The Florida passed in by Sandy Hook about 2:20 p. m. with a tug astern to assist in steering her. The Florida’s bow was badly stove in and she was down by the head as though her forward com- partment was filled with water. IN BEHALF - OF REFUGEES Mass Meeting at St. Paul Denounces 2 Russian Methods. St. Paul, Jan. 26.—Resolutions call- ing upen the..president to refuse to surrender to Russia Rudovitz, 8 Rus- sian political refugee, were passed at a meeting at the People’s church.

New York, Jan. 26.—A woman's call of “Meyer, Meyer, Meyer,” to a boy whose attention she wished to attract sounded like “Fire, fire, fire,” to scores of people in the Star theater in Lexington avenue and soon nearly all the 2,500 persons: who were wit nessing a moving picture show took up the cry and rushed for exits. One of the first: men out turned in a'fire alarm and much fire fighting apparatus and many police reserves ‘were soon on the scene, Members ol these two departments did much work in allaying the excitement of the panic: stricken throng and no injuries were.reported.
