SAY AMERICANS “Refugees From Eurcpe Pay -$115,- 000 for Passage to New York. New York, Aug. 24.—The first of the ‘specially chartered ships to bring American refugees out of Europe, the Italian liner Principe Di Udine came into New York harbor today with 399 passengers. They had paid in the ag- gregate $115,000 for their pasage, for this was the sum given the Lloyd Sa- baudo Company at Genoa on condi- tion that.the vessel be turned over to the refugees and steam direct to New York. Each passenger pald $250 gold, as a minimum, for first cabin accommodations, leaving a deficit of about $40,000 Wh}ch will be met by the committee which arranged the trip, headed by R. A. C. Smith, dock gommissioner of New York. In along statement issued at New York today detailing the acute conditions that Americans confront abroad, the eom- mittee says the “Money was well spent.” An additiona] statement was issued suggesting that a special com- mittee would like to confer in fhis tcity with representatives of the state department “in order to submit trust- | worthy information upon the critical financial and sanitary situation of fellow citizens in southern Europe.” | This is signed by R. A. C. Smith, Nich- | olas Murray Butler, George B, McClel- lan, Gano Dunn and Park Benjamin, | New York: Judge Edwin B. Gager, Derby, Conn; Charles C.Hoyt, Brook- .line, Mass; Willlam R. Newbold, Phil- adelphia; Theodore W. Noyes, Wash- | ington; Dr. Stewart Paton, Princeton * and others. ¢ The Udine made the trip over with- out special incident and saw no war- ships until last Thursday afternoon, when a British auxiliary cruiser came alongside. After looking the linor over and ascertaining that she flew ‘the neutral Italian flag, the cruiser withdrew. Voyage Without Parallel, The voyage of the Udine and Lh"l circumstances which preceded it are # perhaps Wwithout parallel. It was a case of buying a ship, as | it were, to get out of Europe. The greatest difficulty was experienced in . arranging the financial details at * Genoa, for while there were millions represented among the Americans in the enterprise, getting cash was quite another matter. After proposition and counter-proposition had been made the liner finally got away at Wednesday noon, August 12, No Small Ingenuity, I “By the terms of the charter,” says a statement issued here by the com- mittee, “2560,000 francs had to be paid in cash to the Lloyd Sabaudo com- pany before 4:30 p. m., on Friday, August 7, and the balance, 450,000 francs, was to be paid on the day be- fore sailing, Tuesday, August 11. To meet these conditions required no small ingenuity, as well as constant and difficult negotiations. A mora- | torium had been declared in Italy, and the banks were only paying their de- positors a limited and small amounts { daily. It was next to impossible 10 obtain cash on letters of credit issued in America. Comes to Rescue. | At this point the general manager | of the American Express company in Genoa, Mr. Sarentino, came to the aid of the Americans with splendid re- soukcefulness and generosity. By taking the personal checks and per- sonal guarantees of the guarantors ne was able at 4:25 p. m., on Friday, Au- gust 7, or five minutes before the op- tion expired, to make payment of the 50,000 francs. “From the whole company of 400 passengers it proved to be possible i to collect only about 60,000 francs in | actual cash. The balance was taken | by the guarantors and by the Ameri- | can Express company in the form of drafts attached to letters of credit, to receipts for prepaid return steamship passage, to travelers' checks of various kinds, and to personal checks on well | known banks and trust companies in the United States, Inasn:uci as gold was at a premium of fifteen per cent., according to official advices of the American Express company, and since | there were various bankers' commis- sions and other changes, the payment of 500,000 francs gold for the ship | required a payment in lire of about | i Sistine Chapei Where Pope’s Funeral is Held and Conclave Votes for Successor EXISTING IN BRUSSELS | 75,000 francs, or approximately | $115,000, | No Class Distinction. ‘fnasmuch as no Italian emigrants were taken on the ship, the entire vessel was treated as a ship of but a single class, and all passengers, wherever berthed and paying what- | { ever rate, had the full privileges of ! the decks and public rooms. The | <hip was crowded to the utmost ca- | pacity of its sleeping and table ac- | commodations, It was necessary to | provide in both saloons for two ser- | vices at’luncheon and two at dinner. “None but Americans were permit- | ted on the ship, with the exception of | the ship’s own personnel. Provision was finally made for 399 in all. A ! number who were absolutely desti- tute of funds were taken without any payment of passage money Whatever.” If the state department officials do not care to confer on the matter of Americans in Europe with the ¢om- mittee, the statement says a repre- sentative will be sent to Washington. ! 1 SISTINE CHAPEL The Sistine chapel, where the funer- al of the pope is held, is transformed on the tenth day after his death for the election of a new pope. Upon the altar a vast arras, representing the descent of the Holy Ghost, Is placed. A throne in front of the altar s reserved for the new pontiff. In the center of the chapel is a large table bearing two vases and one large covered chalice for the recep- tion of ballots. Before each cardi- nals throne is a small table with ink, paper and sealing wax. To the of the entrance is a stove with a pipe leading out of a window, In this stove the unsuccessful ballots are burned with damp straw. The escap- ing black smoke signifies to the pub- lic and the watchers outside left | the , ai | Englishman Succeeds in Getting When the decisive ballot is taken the papers are burned with dry straw, and the light smoke indicates that a pope has been elected. Arrangements for the conclave are made by Cardi- nal Merry Del Val, papal secretary of state, and Cardinal Della Volpe, the chamberlain, who is head of the church until a new pope is chosen. {t‘hapEI that no choice has been made. PUTS IN AT ZAMBOANGA. Manila, Aug. 24.—The North Ger- man Lloyd line steamer Princess Alice, which left here August 14 for an unknown destination, has put in at Zamboanga. There is a rumor that she has been damaged by a British cruiser but this lacks confirmation. The steamer is believed to carry a large amount of specie. BETTER FIRE PROTECTION. D. McMillan, the Main street dry- | goods merchant, is having his build- ing equipped with better fire pro- tection system. The water depart- ment is laying a six-inch main into the building and Mr. McMillan pro- poses to install a sprinkling system. The cost of laying the main will be pald by Mr. McMillan. J FIDELITY CLUB AUTO TRIP. Nine members of the Fidelity club yof the South church Sunday school enjoyed an automobile trip to Savin Rock Saturday afternoon. Bathing |n( Lighthouse Point, a shore dinner at the Rock and rides on the Giant Racer were the big features of the day. DESCRIBE CONDITIONS Gut of Belgian Cap:tal. London, Aug. 24, 2:156 A. M.—A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Ostend says: “An Englishman who succeeded in getting out of Brussels today (probably Sunday) makes the following statement regarding condi- tions there: " ‘German troops are being rushed southward through Brussels as rapid- ly as possible. ' The general estimate was that 200,000 had passed through during the forty-eight hours tollowing the occupation of the city. The German troops are finely equipped and capable of making a long and hard day’s march. Some of their officers whom 1 met in the cafes told me that thelr companies were making from thirty to forty miles a day. \ German Equipment Wonderful. *'The equipment of all the Ger- man forces is wonderful. Every detail is perfect. I noticed that of the thousands of carts which passed not one had been requisitioned but all were built for military service and bore the government mark. All their horses are equipped with an extra set of shoes which hang from the stirrups, “‘At Waterloo 1 saw a part of their artillery being hurried south- ward toward Mons. 1 counted 230 gune. The Germans made an Inter- esting change in respect to the colors which had flown from the town hall |and flag poles. Previous to the oe- cupation the Belgian flag was in the center with a French tri-color on the right and the British flag on the left. When the Germans entered ‘the_v removed the British and French flags and in the center they flew the arms of the city of Brussels with the colors of Belgium and Germany on the right and left, Turned Into Dormitories. *““The Bourse and general post of- fice have been turned into dormitories for the troops. None of the regular barracks have been utilized for this purpose, the Germans evidently fear- Belgians. “‘In their dealings with the shop keepers the German privates are com- pelled to pay cash, but the officers are giving checks which the shop keepers are required to accept, al- though they regard the chance of ing that they had been mined by the | cashing the same very dubious. Lively Scenes in City. “There have been some lively scenes in the city. At evening the German officers gather at the princi- pal hotels, where they drink cham- pagne and dance with the pretty girly of the town. The private soldiers and the inhabitants are on quite good terms. They mingle freely, eating, drinking and smoking together in the cafes and on the terraces. “*No newspapers have been mitted to pubiish sin®e the German occupation, except one journal, which printed a single issue with the announcement of the death of the pope and a few official proclama- tione," " per- Advertised Letters.
