The Victoria's Sailors Stuck to Their Posts Until Told to Save Themselves. The representative of the United Press at Valetta, Malta, yesterday bad interviews with several of the survivors of the disaster, and the stories told by them confirm the report as, to the collision with the Camperdown as tele- graphed from Beyrout by the agent of the United Press there. An officer who was a witness of the whole af- fair, after detailing how the ram of the Camper- down had stove an enormous hole in the bull of the Victoria below the water line, said that almost immediately after the collision the Vi toria began to settle like lead, and in four min- utes the vessel turned partly over with her bows under water. ‘The officer added that he did not see asingle man jump overboard until the or- der was given for every person to save himself. ‘Many of the men were good swimmers, but they were unable to get at safe distance from the ship before she turned completely over and went down. They were caught in the vortex caused by the foundering ship and their strength and ability as swimmers availed nothing against the suction which drew them down. When the ship wax lying on her beam ends the engines continued io work, and one of the two screws, which was completely out of the water, raced at a very high speed. The other screw was submerged, and its revolutions caused the water on one side of the ship to flow in a strong current toward its rapidly revolving blades. ‘Many of the men who were swimming were caught in this current, and despite all their efforts a number of them were struck by the screw and killed. Perfect discipline prevailed from the time the Victoria was struck until the onter was given to abwndon the ship. A sailor who was of the crew of the Victoria snid that he was below when the collision occurred. When be felt it he started to run to the up) deck. The water began to pour into ‘the ship in an enormous volume immediately after the collision. When he reached the upper deck he saw Vice Admiral Tryon and Capt. Maurice Bourke standing at their is. Every man on duty was at = Corse een — sailor got to heaetie te eombentl cna an order was y tess to jump and for every man to save himself. Until that order was given not a man left bis post, although the vessel was lying at such an angle that it was necessary for the men to bold (@- THE STORE WILL BE on to supports to keep them from sliding over- board. Altknew the Victoria was doomed, but every man stood by her until ordered to abandon be This sailor said he felt himself being drawn down by the suction of the sinking vestel almost as soon as he jumped, but in some way he got ‘out of the down flow of the water and was soon afterward picked up by a boat from another vessel. From the time of the collision until he was picked up scarcely five minutes elapsed. ANOTHER ACCOUXT. Another witness of the running down of the Victoria declares that the cunse of the disaster was the impossibility of turning sixteen points whenthe ships were only six cable lengths apart. ‘This statement implies that Vice Admiral Tryon, in ordering the maneuver kuown as changing columns ut the time he did, was responsible for the accident. Another survivor eays he beard it said, but ‘was unable to confirm the report, that, seeing a collision was inevitable, the commander of the Camperdown ordered her engines reversed and the vessel was actually going astern when sbe struck the Victoria. Some person also heard that Vice Admiral Tryon had declined to accept the offers of other vessets to lower boats and go to the rescue of the Victoria's crew until it was too late. Both funnels of the Victoria broke off and the turret fell out while the ves- sel was iisting to starboard. An officer who was on deek at the time of the collision says it is quite anintelligible to those on bard the Victoria how it happened. The Camperdown's rant was seen to crash the whole side of the Victoria aud then get clear with tremendous way on. “I am told,” he added, “that the Camperdown’s ram was completely | beut round.” Lord Charles Beresford, commander of the Undaunted and formerly a lord of the admiralty, mau interview still maintained that the acci- dent must have resulted from a mishap to the machinery. Such contingencies, he said, would always be common to navai life. The iron | sides were the best possible compromise. It would counteract the deadiy effect of the ram. A dispatch to the London Daily News from Maita save it is learned that the Victoria was struck slightly in the rear of her foremost tur- ret, the ram of the Camperdown cutting into her turrets full length. blow smashed up the foremost bulkhead of the boiler room, and the water rushing down the funnels as the ves- sel keeled over caused the explosions that were heard as the ship sank. ADMIRAL TRYON TO BLAME. The London Times’ correspondent at Malta | | Admiral Tryon admited that the accident wasall | | bus fonit. Rear Admiral Markham realizing the impossibility of executing the order to | deviate sixteen points while the columns were | so close did not reapond promptly, bat the | Victoria again signalled, “what are you doing?” | ‘Thereupon the Camperdown obeyed the | order. the Victoria remarked to Vice Admiral Tryon, “Ehere is no room for the ships to turn in,” | but Tron replied, “Let her go.” ‘Then it became a question which ship would strike the other. The Camperdown struck the | Victoria just in front of the turret, cutting over six fect into the doomed vessel and leaving | her figure head on the Victorin’s mess deck | All the ships in the fleet seeing the danger be- | gan lowering boats to aid the Victoria's crew, | but Vice Admiral Tryon, believing that the Vi toria would boats back to flont, ordered the “EARLY TO BED AND EARLY Tu RIS: esun tha’ rose at dawn became a shining Licht, he lazy <on crew neither healthy nor wealthy, id never nn lerstatd the nebular hypothesis. bie tesches that insommia is soimetines = thet tien BUTTS’ BROMO LITHIA for headache, neuraliia, sea-sick- ver-mduigence in athualants, ugzist. ‘Three doses in eseh but- 10 cents, Address THE FE.

Tryon’s chief anxiety wns for the safety of his ship. It is as- serted that the Victoria's water-tight compart- ments were not closed. ‘The men were ordered to close them, but some of the bulkheads could not be closed. Capt. Bourke, seeing that it was impossible to eave the ship, ordered the men to save them- selves as best they could. Vice Admiral Tryon remained on the vessel until she sank, thirteen minutes after the collison happened. Many who succeeded in scrambling cn the bottom of the ship ns she turned over were killed by being struck by the blades of the propellers. THE CAMPERDOWN'S ESCAPE. ‘The Camperdown had a narrow escape from sinking. When she reached Tripoli after the accident ug was five feet down by the bows. In conseqfience of the collision the other ehips of the fleet incurred a great rick of collMing also. The Camperdown is expected to arrive | at Malta on Wednesday next, Paymaster Rick- ard was rescued alive, but like the others was | injured by spars floating up from the sinking shiv. All who witnessed the disaster describe the sight as most appalling. A special dispatch received at Plymouth from Malta confirms the cause of the disaster. It is clear beyond coutroversy that if the order signaled from the Vi | fully executed every parr of ships would have come into collision. ‘The other vessels, how- | ever, observed what would happen in time to | prevent disaster to the whole sqaadron. ——— woo Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Conference Representing Manufacturers and Amalgamated Association. The wages of workers in the sheet mills of the country for another year were settled | yesterday at a conference between the manu- facturers and Amalgamated Association com- mittee at Pittsburg. The present scale of wages was continued, but some trifling adjustments were made. ‘The hitch was on the tariff clause. The manufacturers insisted that the scale agreed upon should be subject to any change that might be made in the tariff. The workers’ com- mittee vigorously opposed this. After a long discussion the clause in dispute was accepted by ‘the Amalgamated Axsociation committee with au amendment to the effect that if any change is made the committees are to recou- vene and adjust the ecale accordingly. None of the sheet mills will close, and in the depart- ments of the mill governed by the iron wage cale, now in dispute, Inst year's wages will be paid. including 5.50 for pudding until an agreement is reached in the conference. Several points in the puddling seale have been agreed on, but there is still a difference of opinion on some of the most inportant items. Yesterday wax the Inst day in which the old scale was in force at the union mills and all will have to close unless the committees come to some agreement. In this event about 15.000 iron workers in Allegheny county will be tem- porarily at least out of employment. soo Election in Potomac Council, At the regalar meeting of Potomac Council.

Three strange and mysterious-looking men | arrived at Niagara Falls on the Michigan Cen- | tral on Sunday night. One of them was very | ill and apparently suffering great pain. They went to a small and rather obscure hotel, where only the sick man registered. After putting the sick man to bed his companions hunted up a doctor and soon after jeft. They have not returned and probably will not, and the sick man is now a corpee. ‘The dead man was John Harvey, alias Arting, one of the most noted expert confidence men in the country. He has served various terms of imprisonment during his life. and has been an associate of “Clutch” Donohue of Buffalo and others of equal disrepute. Scarcely a Togues’ galiery of any importance is without his pietare. | Soon after the man's arrival his companions showed big rolls of bills and said they would pay for any attendance. The hotel keeper says | that Harvey had a roll as big as that of his com- panions, but it has gone with the men, and he died without a cent. When he was told that he was going to die Harvey took all the papers about him and destroyed them, thus leaving no means of dis- cerning who his friends are. Early in the seventies Harvey was a member the bar in Ohio. His home was at Hamilton, where he had excellent family connections.
