Kkw Yonic, Not. 19. Tho British
steamer Fcconto brought into port
eighteen shipwrecked mariners to-day,
taken from tho Dutch bark Joahanna,
which was found in a sinking condi
tion. Tlio Fcconla Righted tho Joa
hanna, flying signals o( distress, last
Friday, In latitude 30.24, longltudo
6103, and took off the men whom alio
landed here to-day.
The Joahannn nailed from New York
October 31, with n full general cargo,
for Honolulu. On November a tcrriflo
pile act in from tho N. N. W., accom
panied by enormous sea. Tho mid
hip bulwarks and main batch wero
mashed in, tho deck beams broken
and the tossoI began to tako in water
at an alarming rate, and nomo feared
that tho vessel wonld break in two.
Captain Maars ordered out tho boats,
Intending to steer for Bermuda. Tho
first boat was dashed to plecos against
the side of tho vessel. Tho second
boat was successfully launched, with
tho entlro crew. Tho small boat
had been damaged in the effort
to launch it from tho wreck, and
constant balling was required to keep
It afloat. In these circumstances tho
eighteen seamen spent two days in
the vicinity of tho Joahanna, as they
had determined to return to the dero
Hot when tho woather subsided.
Finally, on November 11, tho wind and
ea went down and tho man clamborcd
on board of tho wreok and sot distress
signals. At 11 p. ra. tho Toconlo was
seen approaching, and lifo boats
shortly aftcrwardn camo to their res
cue, and tho Joahanna had to bo aban
doned. The Joahanna wan built at
Albasaerdam, Holland, in 1800, of 1,101
tons, and was owned by J. Vrocgo.
RUN DOWN DURINGA FOG.

ft tils 171 ore n 'Workmen Nenr Jerity City.
Nrw Yonic, Nov. 19. During a dense
fog to-day a train on the Pennsylvania
railroad ran upon a ganr of workmen
on tho nackonsaok meadow, near .Tor
toy City, and eleven men wero killed.
The dead are: Michael Lawless, Jo
seph Colasseo, Angelo Pigo, Frank
Rondistskl, Frank Duklsklu, Thomas
Daugherty, Joseph Bimonskl, Joseph
Broskle, Nicholas Roach, Joseph
Smith, an unknown man.
The train was a local from Mill town
to Jersey City, due in Jersey City nt
1:20 a. m. Tho fog delayed tho train
and Engineer John Van Ostrand was
trying to mako up time, ma train was
ronning at a high rate of speed, as ho
believed thoro was nothing to obstruct
t quick run to Jersey City. The first
be knew that his train had run into
the men was when the engino Jarred.
Hmo the cries of the men wero heard.
A train had passed on the other
traeka westbound a few minutes bo-
tore the eastbound train ran the men
lama. The smoke from the engine of
she westbound train went over tho
eastbound track and tho nolso of the
westbound train prevented the work
ran on the other track from hearing
the approach of the eastbound tratn.
There were twenty men in the gang
and It is reported that not one
tacaped injury.
Aa soon as tho news of the accident
reached Jersey City, Pennsylvania
railroad efflolals went to tho Meadows
and superintended the removal of the
lead and injured.
SPAIN
rna1x for Delay on the Time Destroy
ers AceumnTate.
WAiJTfiforow, Nov. 1!. Tho first o!
tho 30-knot torpedo boats built in the
United States and tho only onp of that
npocd which has yet undergono official
trial, has Anally fallod to reach the re
quirements after threo attempts, tho
first two of them resulting in serious
damago to tho vessel. A telegram re
ceived front Jjioulcnant Commander
Franklin J. Drako, by Secretary Long
shows that tho Farragut on her final
trial near San Francisco November 10,
ran 29.73 knota an hour. He says this
remarkably high speed was achieved
with no oxocsslvo vibration of hall or
unduo friction of engines.
Tho vessel ran straightway for half
an hour at tho rato of 89.34 knots, fol
lowed by a turn, accomplished within
fifteen minutes nnd another dash of
half an hour, this thno nt the rate of
30.19 knots, tbo nverago for the whole
course being 29.73. Tho Union Iron
works of San Francisco, which built
tho vessol, has appealed to Secretary
Long to accept her, declaring that sho
can easily mako tho required spoed of
thirty knots under ordinary condi
tions, but that sho was retarded in tho
oflklal trial by shallow water and
heavy head winds in tho first half,
when tho spoed fell behind tho con
tract rato.
Tho net of Congress of Juno 10, 1890,
authorizing this vessel nnd tho Dahl
grcn and the T. A. M. Craven, now
building at Bath. Mo., is novel in that
It stipulates that tho vessels shall
mako at least thirty knots. Tho con
tracts call for that speed and dcclaro
that if tho vessols fail to mako it they
shall bo rejected. Tho department
was, thcroforo, compelled to decido
that a fourth trial would bo necessary,
it bolng powcrloss to waivo tho condi
tions, although tho belief was gcnoral
among ofOcors that a dlfi'eronco of
scvcnteen-uunureuihs or a Knot was
impracticable of measurement in a
thirty-flve-mllo run.
Tho two similar boats building at
Bath, Maine, aro within 20 per cent of
completion, and It Is cxpoctcd that
their trials will tako place in about a
month. All threo of the vessels should
havo been delivered to tho government
under contract In tho early part of
last April, nnd they havo already ac
cumulated largo bills on account of
tho delay penalties. Tho failuro
of tho Union Iron works boat
readily to accomplish its designed
velocity although tho fc'cotts, who
built her, aro famous for tho oxccllonco
of their work, as shown in the Oregon,
tho Monterey, tho Olympic, tho Ban
Francisco, tho Charleston, and other
vessels Is thought to fpreshadow
much greater difficulties with tho Bath
iron works boats, an that company has
hitherto hud indifferent success wllb.
the vessels it has furnished to the
navy, with tho posslblo exception of
tho gunboats Machias and Castlne, al
though their performance has not been

Inasmuch aa tho Spanish aro making

stated that the American commission

ing the protocol, declared positively
that the ohango, which was mado at
