DEATH IS TOE DEEP
(Continued from First 1'age.)
A thick fog enveloped everything, and as
yet no sign had como from tho llfctavlng
station. Darkness wan nil about, nnd with
this added horror the pcoplo on tho Hlo had
to cope.
Ono boat got clear of the vessel without
damage. This contained tho following per
sons; Mrs. West, Mrs. lllpley, Chief Kn
glneer Hcrllhey, Second Ofllcer Coghlan,
Frank Cramp, .1. It. Itussoll, Storekeeper
Dorgg. Watcrtcndor I). I-ane, Quarter
master It. Mathleson ami Captain Hecht
of tho German navy. This boat got clear
of the sinking vessel and then stood by
to help In picking up those who had no
tlmo to get Into tho boats and were In
tho water.
Another boat, containing Third Ofllcer
Holland nnd J. K. Carpenter, got away, but
drifted around close up under the bow
of tho steamer. As tho forward end of
tho vessel plunged downward tho prow
caught the small boat and cut It In two.
Tho two men In tho boat wcro uninjured
and swnm away from tho sinking steamer
Just In tlmo to nvold being cnught in tho
swirl of water caused by tho settling of
tho big ship. Carpenter was picked up
by tho other boat. Tho fato, of Holland
Is not known, but ho Is supposed to have
perished.
A number of Italian fishermen who wcro
Just starting out this morning, saw tho
Inking of Jhe Hlo nnd at onco hastened
to render every assUtnnco In their power.
HeroUm of Cnitliiln Wnrd.
Whllo all this was going on, Captain
Wnrd was directing tho passengers nnd
trying to keep them from panic. Ho suc
ceeded only partly, as many of tho terri
fied people rushed to tho railings and
Jumped overboard. Homo of these wcra
plrked up, others were drowned. Tho Chi
nese crow, to(tlio number of over 100, worn
terrorized, ' Somo of them huddled in llttlo
groups, chntterlng In fear. Others crouched
close to the deck, moaning pitifully. Many
Jumped Into tho sea.
Captain Ward rnmalnod on deck until
thn vessel had settled to such an extent
that the wntcr was engulfing him. Then he
went up on tho brldgo nnd from thcro con
tinued to Issue his directions, nlthough by
this tlmo the confusion was so great that
row paid any nttentlnn to his commands.
That tho steamer sank almost Immedi
ately after Btrlking Is tho report of a mn
Jorlty of thoso rescued. Somo of tho pas
sengers say that it Instnntly listed for
ward, nnd that In live minutes It went
down, whllo others declare that It stayed
afloat for half an hour nftor It struck. Tho
confusion occasioned by such an Incident
Is Intern nnd it Is not surprising to llnd
that there is a lock of unanimity as to
the length ot tlmo the vessel" remained
nbovo water.
The wreck lies about three-fourths of n
mllo Bouth of Fort Point nnd about 1,000
yards off tho rocky shore. Tho smokestack
and n portion of tho upper works of tho 111
fated stenmer nro visible.
There aro sovoral conflicting stories con
cerning the fato of Captain Ward. Tho
steward of tho Itlo says that ho stood bo
sldo the captain when the vessel went
down. Two othor Htirvlvors say that they
also saw tlio captain to tho last, but Fred
erlcV. Ltndstrom, tho quartermaster ofllcer
of the Mo, emphatically declared that
Captain Ward emulated Admiral Trlon of
her British majesty's ship, Victoria, in
going down to his cnbln, where he met his
doom behind a locked door.

BAN FRANCISCO, Fob. 22. quarter
master OfTtcer Mndstrom was one of tho
first to land on Melggs wharf this morning
and one of tho first statements ho made was
that Captain Ward had gone down with tho
wrecked Bteamer. According to his i story,
Captain Ward, after consulting with Pilot
Jordan, enmo down from tho bridge. He
was standing on the deck when the vessel
crashed upon tho rock. There wna a cry
of "Man tho boats!" but It was apparent
that In the midst of tho awful confusion a
systematic, effort to Bavo the passengers
would be ol no avail. Everybody wns
scrambling for his own Bafcty.
It was at this tlmo that Undstrom says
he saw Captain Wnrd standing on tho for
ward deck. Suddenly tho captalt. turned
and, walking hurriedly to his cabin, dls
appeared behind tho door, which he closed.
A second lator tho vcsboI was plunged to
the bottom of the sea.
Captain Frederick W. Jordan, tho pilot of
tho Hlo, won rescued by im Italian fishing
boat owned by Frederick Castrlnl nnd was
brought to Melggs' station about 10 i. m.
Along with him was n Japanese and Philip
Nusseiiblack,
Ho was taken up to the room occupied
by tho customs officials and told the follow
ing story: "Wo anchored lnsldo about B
o'clock last night. The weather was thick,
no we left orders that when the weather
cleared we should go further In.
"At B a. m. tho fog lifted. We could sec
the Cliff house and the worth light, nnd
I told the mnte to heave short. After wo
started heaving short thn wind catno In
from tho northeast nnd the fog settled In
thick nnd 1 told the mate to stop heaving.
Then the captnln came up nnd snld: 'let
her go. Wo enn go nhead.' "
I'ltnt .Ionian Itemorse.
Captain Jordan ma'de this statement to
Captain Freeman nnd tils friends, who
crowded around him. To Captain Freeman
ho said: "Alnt I In ft of n fix?"
Captain Freeman put his arms about the
pilot tnnd said: "Don't talk about It. You
nro hero and thnt Is alt we care."
Captain Jordan then continued his story:
"You boo, my watch stopped nt f:10, When
tho vessel struck I ordered all tho boats
out. The first boat out was that of the
doctor. It waB half filled with water no
Rooncr that It struck. 1 got n ladder and
placed a woman on It and wo began to de-
Hccud. She had a boy with her, a child of
about 8 years. She gave him to me. 1 held
him In my arms and tho little fellow had
his arms around my neck. Tho woman nnd
I worn about half way down the ladder
when tho Hlo gave a tremendous pitch. I
was flung off the ladder. I saw nothing
then of the woman or tho boy. I went down
with tho ship about fifty feet. I worked
my way up to thn surface and got hold of
porno wreckage. I had sonso enough left
to turn on my back nnd drift with tho
wreckage. Then I came across what seemed
to mo tho top of a house with a Chinaman
on it. He helped mo to clamber onto tho
roof nnd with him I drifted out toward the
North fiends.
"I wns then rescued by tho fishing boat.
I cannot say who the woman was. I believe
shn had a husband, but ho was not on deck
when wo left. I saw nothing either of the
woman or tho boy after I was flung off the
Indder Into the water."
"Did you see Captain Ward?"
"I saw nothing of htm after we struck.
I bellevo he Is lost."
William Urander of the firm of Drnnder
& Co., London, wns ono of the cabin pas
sengers. Mr. Urander wns making n tour
of tho world and boarded tho Rio nt Yoko
hama, Ho carried a large nraount of lug
gage, all of which was lost. When taken
to tho harbor hospital Mr. Drander was
chilled and very 111.
tVllllitni llrniider'a Aeooiinl.
Ho mado tho fallowing statement: "1
was asleep when tho accident happened. I
una awakened by a scries of Jars nnd
scrapings nnd as I nrose and heard the
screaming of women In tho cabin I dressed
hastily nnd went on deck. I saw Captain
Wnrd and some officers directing tho
handling of boats. I was excited, of course,
but I could not fall to observe many women
who wero crowded aft about tho boats.
Ono of tho boats, I remember, was full ot
water and useless. I ran for n life-preserver
and had got ono arm through It when
tho forward part ot the vessel gavo n
Btckcnlug lurch and went down. I was
standing near ono of the shrouds and I
remember grasping these Just as the ves-
el went down. When I found myself In
tho water I was compelled to force my way
through the ratlines nt the shrouds. I
finally reached the surfa'ce and saw' people
swimming near me nmong a lot of wreck
age. Among thoso I recognized Russell
Harper, a Journullst of Nagasaki, who called
out to mo that both his legs wero broken.
I lost sight ot htm tor a time, but was told
that ho was picked up, I was picked up
nnd taken nshoro to the hospital,"
Mr. Urander could not rocall events defi
nitely. Ho does not remember whether
tho women he Baw on deck wero taken off
In the boats. What surprised him was that
these women were fully dressed, a circum
stance, ho attributes to the sfact ihttt they
had arisen it! ordyr tcFwItncsf tho'start.
"I bad only time to' grasp'.n few of my
valuables," ho said, "and went on de'clr.
I should judge I vvns there only five or ten
minutes whon tho ship went down, carrying
me with It. It is posslbld that nit the
cabin passengers reached tho deck before
the fatal plunge, but I doubt it, The
Chinese In tho steerage were In the greater
danger, and I nm convinced a large num
ber of Celestials wero drowned."
Mr. Ilrunder's watch stopped at twenty
mlnutcR of C o'clock, thereby Indlcntlng
thnt tho ship went down nt thut time.
Among Mr. Ilrnnder's valuables wero let
ters of credit and rash In excess of $1,000.
tttprritwp Steward's Kxperlenoe.
II. Donohue, tho steerago steward, gives
tho following as his experience; "I was
below decks but partly dressed when wo
struck tho rocks. The Bhlp Boomed to be
riding even nnd I suddenly thought of tho
steerage I ran with all my might to the
steerago cabins, whero I hauled and yanked
people out of bunks white and Chinese and
what not. I threw them about, whotber
thoy had clothes on or not, and finally got
twonty-five or thirty ot them on deck. I
told them to snvo their lives then If they
could, nsklng them to. get life preservers.
Dy this tlmo the ship wns turning over and
I left these people. I ran to the middle
dock.
"When I reached there I ran In my be
wlledrocnt to tho forward deck, whero I
distinctly remember seeing Captain Ward ns
he ascended the bridge, I felt the ship
going and I fled tor the rigging. I climbed
with all my strength and speed nnd Just
as I reached the cross-trees 1 lorted bo
low. There 1 saw Captain Ward I nm
sure It was he standing nt tho brldgo and
wildly swinging his arms. Then I saw
tho waters swirl about at his feet and
ruddenly cover him. At that Instant I
realized that wo wero plunging to the
bottom. I had not felt our desient whllo
In the rigging. While I wns making up
my mind to this I wns amazed and ter
Ifled to have my feet thrown above my head
by the force of the water rushing from
bolow. Then I wna torn from tho cross-
trees and plungod below. I held my breath
and fought against tho terrible suction,
coming finally to tho surface again. Hy
somo strango chance I wns no,t struck bj
spars nor caught in the rigging. It was
ono chance In a million. ' I struck out
when I eamo gasping to the surface, and
n fow minutes, later, just ns my senses
were slipping from me, I wns picked up.
1 am confident I saw the cnptaln go down
at tho bridge."

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22. Second Of
rer Graham Coghlan was on the brldgo
with Captain Wnrd, Pilot Jordan aud
First Officer Johnson, us the vessel was
making port. The Rio had passed Point
Iloultn. light and a few minutes later
Port Point light was sighted. Then, with
out n word of warning, ttie lilg steamer
wont crashing upon tho rocks. Immediately
everything wns chaos. In tho steeage bo
low It was announced that water was rush
Ing In upon tho sleeping passengers and n
pumber of tho crew rushed to the deck
Shortly after the shock tho four big boalu
In the davits were lowered. A large num
ber of pnssongert, hnstlly summoned from
tl elr rooms by the commotion, crowded onto
the bonts nnd they pushed off, Ten mln
utcs Intor, according to the second ofllcer
tho vessel tank. The lifeboats floated off
as the vessel disappeared below the sur
face of the water and there was a scramble
ot many persons In the water to get Into
them.
Cnulil Not rind Wlldman,
"The order was given to arouse the pas
sens-era," said Coghlan, "and tho crew went
about the work coolly, They could not have
acted bttttr and everyone was apparently
emmoned. I myself went In search of Con
sul General Wlldmfwi and family, but f
could not find them. Just before one ot .he
big boats, which 1 commanded, pushed off
I saw Captnln Ward going forward, nnd
then we started for the shore.
We could see many persons In the water
and others crying for help, and nsslsted
some to get on the life rafts. The boat J
was In saved thirteen of the people on
board ami, after, being picked up by a
gasoline launch, we were towed to shore.
There were three life rafts and there wero
n number of pcoplo on them,"
In the boat with Coghlan wero Cnptaln
Hecht of the German navy, Mrs. Ripley,
Mrs. West and Miss K. I.chnron. Mr.
Coghlan is the son of Captain J. U, Cogh
lan ot tho United States navy.
William Caspar of Toledo, O., was
among tho survivors, who while floundering
In tho water, encountered tho raft on
which were R. II. I-ong nnd number of
Chinese, Caspar was out of his. bunk and
on deck when the firct alarm was given.
He agrees with Long that, most ot the
stenmer's passengers were on deck when
tho vessel struck.
I scrambled to the hurricane deck,"
aid Caspar, while telling of his experi
ences at the barge office, "but I had been
there only n second when n heavy sea
washed mo off. I went down, I don't
know how far, and I thought It wan nil up
with ine. The water was full of wreck
age, which knocked me about when I
reached tho surface, I started to swim
for the shore, but on the way met tho
raft nnd was pulled on board," Caspar
was formerly attached to the transport
Lawton.
Ono ot the life saving boats picked up G.
Helns, a passenger, nbout half an hour
after the ship went down. He was greatly
exhausted and Is now very 111. Ho wns
twice drawn under the water by tho suction
nnd as he came up tho second time his head
struck a floating spar with considerable
force. Half stunned, ho grasped the spnr
and clung to It until rescue came. Ho Bays
that several other people wcro saved by
clinging to tho spar which came bo near
stunning him, and actually was his means
of salvation.
Fishermen First to Aid.
At tho Instant tho Rio went on the rocks
Andrnw Adcml, nn Italian flshcrmnn, wns
not n great distance away In n small smack.
Near to him wna O. Albert, another Italian
fisherman. Both men saw the ,Rlo Janeiro
In tho gloom and marvelled that It could
bo so close ..to tho shore.
Tho next moment they knew something
was wrong and ench headed for the ship,
proceeding carefully In tho fear they might
bo entangled In tho wreck. They came near
enough beforo tho ship went down to hear
tho volco of somo person through a mega
phone. The man who yelled at them told
them that the ship was sinking and lost
and to stand by with help, sending word
to San Francisco as soon thereafter as they
could.
When the ship disappeared the Italians
hurried to tho fecene. Adcml picked up
thrco persons who wero struggling In the
water, then his small craft could bold no
more. Then he sot out tor shore, bent upon
summoning other aid. Albert, however, had
more room In his steam launch and he picked
up a number of Chinese ho says he does
not remember Just how many. These boats
proceoded to MelggB wharf, whore tho res
cued people were put ashore. Doth the
Italians then put back after giving the
alarm to the sceno of the disaster, but found
no more peoplo In the water. They soon
afterward came ashore. Ademt Boys that
whoever the 'officer was who shouted to him
through a megaphone, he was n man of sur
passing coolness. He stood with the mega
phone to his mouth still shouting Instruc
tions when tho ship sank and the Italians
saw him go beneath the surface even as he

Theso Include two pouches from the
United States military station In China.
Also two bags of registered mail. When
tho registered bngs were delivered It was
found that they had been ripped open with
n knife and nil tholr contents stolen. When
this crime was committed Is a question.
Tho men who brought them In aro not sus

who tho robbers aro.
The Rio carried In all 200 bags of mall.
Five bags of newspapers are among tho
rescued snckH. There Is ono sack ot mall
from Toklo for Germany nnd one sack from
Toklo for London, all In a horrible con
dition. The mall from tho United States
military station wns not tampered with.
J. Wade, a Japanese passenger, bad $1,500
In his trunk, which was lost.
Rouusevllle Wlldman, who Is presumed
to be lost, was well known In this city,
where ho resided for a number of years.
IIo first came Into prominence locally whon
ho purchased tho Overland, which he owned
nnd edited for some years prior to enter
ing tho consular service at Hong Kong. He
resigned recently the post of consul gen
eral at Hong Kong and was on his wuy
home with his wife and family. Mr. Wlld
man married Miss Lettte Aldrlch, daughter
of Mrs. Louis Aldrlch, a slBter of United

Trntililrx of Mm Ovin,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The War depart
ment has not yet heard from General Wood
of tho reception by him of the Cuban con
stitution, ns reported from Havana. It Is
not expected thnt he will send It to Wnnh-
ngton Immediately unless ho can transmit
along with It .somo resolution by the con
stitutional convention defining tho relations
thnt nre to exist between the United States
and Cuba. Tho statement is mado quite
positively that It would be Idle and pur
poseless to transmit the constitution ns It
stands nnd without any provision far the
hereafter as between the two countries. It
s now manlfestthat It would ho n physical
Impossibility for the present congress to net
upon tho subject ot Cuba.
It has been decided that Secretary Root s
cttor to General Wood outlining the points
ot a proposition touching the relation be
tween tho United States and Cuba which he
thinks would bo acceptable to this govern
ment, will not bo given out for publication
here. It Is said to havo been commiinl
catcd by General Wood to tho members of
the comralttco appointed by tho constitu
tional convention to deal with this subject,
but Is regarded ns confidential at present.

HAVANA, Feb. 22. Nothing definite hns
been decided upon on the question ot future
relations. Many of the delegates ossem
bled In the convention hall this afternoon
to talk over" tho matter Informally. Most
of them seem to bo Impressed with the con
viction that It tho convention stood out
vigorously for absolute Independence the
United States congress would support them.
Tho special committee on relations has
Instructed Its secretary, Senor Juan Guul
bcrto Gomez, to draw up a proposition nnd
submit tho same to tho committee for con
sideration tomorrow. This proposition will,
It Is said, deal with tho question In thrco
lending divisions: First that Cuba shall
not bo mado tho base of war operations
against thd United Stntes; second, that tho
commercial treaty with tho United Stntes
shall embody ns far as possible free trade
between tho two countries; nnd third, that
no foreign treaties shall bo mado Jeopardiz
ing the Independence ot Cuba. The special
committee considers that tho danger of
Cuba contracting loans It might bo un
nblo to pay has been guarded against In
ithp constitution. Instructions on this
point and others were given to Senor Gomez
In tbe form ot notes nnd suggestions. It
Is understood that tho question of naval
stations wns not mentioned. Tho commit
tee will report Monday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Daron Hermann,
agricultural expert of the German embassy,
has received word from the German gov
ernment that a specialist, designated by the
agricultural societies, will leave Berlin soon
for tho United Stntes to maka a careful
Inquiry Into the uses of American agricul
tural machinery, with a view to Its Intro
duction Into general use In Germany, Daron
Hermann for some time has been urging
on the German authorities the marked ad
vantages of American agricultural ma
chinery. He looks upon the move as ono
likely to provo beneficial, both to German
agriculture and to American manufactures.
Tho agricultural sections of Germany are
being depopulated, while the manufacturing
centers nre becoming overcrowded, nnd It
Is felt by the German government to be
desirable to give every modern facility to
tho agricultural classes to Increase tho
productive capacity of the farms to their
full limit. Baron Hermann has urged this
upon the government, and It Is now the
purpose to mnke a thorough Inquiry, both
on the farms and in the agricultural fac
tories. The expert will arrive In this coun
try about the time the sowing season begins,
nnd through the spring and summer will
give his attention to the farms, going to
the agricultural factories In tho fall,
