Freight Manager Uonncr sslil tonight
that the Maine bad about G.OOQ tons of
cargo In Its hold. Of this thcro were 2,000
tonn of grain, 1,000 tons of slag, about 3,000
bales of cotton and considerable general
merchandise.
Tho Saalo had a full cargo, Including
copper nnd general merchandise, but tho
Ilremen had hardly any cargo aboard of It.
"I bellovc," Mr. Uonncr raid, "that the
loss to the cargo on the throo ships will
exceed $1,000,000. As to tho lorn of cargo
on tho piers It Is dllllcult to eitlmate, tor
thcro was both Inward and outwardbound
cargo there. The greatest damage to th
cargo of tho Saalo will bo that done by the
-water. I believe the hull of the Saalo below
tho water line Is all right nnd also Its en
gines. In a visit to the Ilremen wo founJ
that while tho hull Is In goad shape ap
parently, the cargo Is Ioit. Tho Ilremon
mow has n list to port and there la soma
fear that It may break If It lists further.
The Main, like tho Ilremen, was still burn
ing when I left there."
Oustav Schwab, tho agent of tho North
German Lloyd steamship line, said tonight:
"Tilings nro In u very unsettled condition as
yet nnd I have been hard nt work today
gathering up the ends. I havo been on n
tour of Inspection this morning nnd In a
tug visited all thrco of tho wrecked vessels
aa well as tho Kaiser Wllhclm dcr drosso.
It will Icavo on Its trip Tuesday at 1 a. m.
Tho Saalo was tho first vessel wo visited.
From thcro we went to tho Ilremen and tho
Main. Doth of the vessels aro still burning.
I would not say that any of tho vessels
would bo n total loss. They look worse from
tlio outside than they really nro. After thoy
aro pumped out wo can toll better what the
loss will be. Doth tho Ilremen and the
Saale are, however, pretty badly damaged.
Wrecking companies are already working on
tho Sanlo and It will be pumped out as soon
as possible.
"I will not glvo any figures nor can I
estimate what tho amount will bo. Tho loss
on tho ships will bo estimated by the homo
ofllco. We received a cablegram this morn
ing from them asking for Information. The
homo ofllco knows the value of the ships. I
can only guess roughly nt tho cost. Tho
piers In Iloboken are all Insured In local
companies, but I do not feel that I can glvo
tho names of the companies. There was on
the piers a quantity of cargo which, of
course, was destroyed. Wo are not re
sponsible for tho cargo, cither on tho ship
or tho piers. Tho cargo on tho piers com
prised cotton, machinery, measurement
goods, tobacco, cement and general mer
chandise." Mr. Schwab states that there was no pas
sengers on board the steamship Saalo and
that If any bodies were found other than
those of the crow they were tho remains of
'visitors, for Sunday was visiting day with
the line and It was possible that there wero
a number on hoard at tho time of the lire.
It Is estimated that from 300 to 400 per
sons were Injured nnd taken to the different

From a very reliable source It was learned
this evening that tho ofllcers of the steamer
Saalo had accounted for 111 persons out of n
total of 2.2 who were on board at the out
break of tho fire.
There was a continuous stream of cnllcrs
at police headquarters In Iloboken nil day
seeking Information of missing friends nnd
relatives. Somo of them wero sent away
with very little hope of meeting their miss
ing ones again, while others, evidently
prompted by curiosity, gave tho police oftl
clals no end of trouble.

It Is feared that somo of the Christian
Endeavorera who wero to have sailed from
Ilostou Tuesday for Southampton on tho
Saale may havo lost their lives. It was said
today that somo of these people had come to
this city to Inspect tho Bhlp, which hnd been
chnrtered to tnko 500 of thorn to Kngland,
and that they wero on board of It when tho
flames broke out on tho pier. As ninny peo
ple to nvold being roasted to death on tho
HtcnniBhlps nnd docks Jumped overboard nnd
wore drowned searching parties kept a close
watch today along tho shores of tho North
river, lirooklyn nnd Staten Island.
Aa tho tide was on tho turn It la believed
their bodies wcro carried upstream and
when thoy rlso they will come to the sur
face above Twenty-third street, unlo3s thoy
drifted Into the central current and caught
tho floodtldo running out Into tho upper
bay. Relatives of the missing employed
rowboats and men to patrol In the vlainlty
of the disaster. Other boatmen searched
for the dead on speculation.
Work or llrllef.
While tho Arc waa still burning the work
of relief was begun. Men camo to tho of
flco of the North Gorman Lloyd lino almost
naked and with their clothing ruined by the
salt water. Men, who had been treated by
doctors, who wero not sufficiently Injured to
bo tnken to the hospitals also gathered nt
tho ofllco. Kvery man was given money and
clothing and token to a temporary lodging
house by agents of tho company. The sail
ors lost absolutely everything they pos
sessed. Women besieged tho ofllco for In
formation In regard to relatives. There
were nbout seventy missing reported at tho
North Oermnn Lloyd office alone. Fully SO
per cent of tho sailors aro Germans who
have no homo and no relatives In this coun
try. Most of them lived In Germany.
At 4 o'clock this morning nineteen men,
machinists nnd firemen wcro taken off tho
steamship Bremen after having been held,
with death staring them In the face, for
nearly twelve hours. They we.re brought
ashoro on tugs and taken care Of In hotels
near tho company's charred property.
No' loss' of life waa reported from tho
Ilremen with the exception of the probabil
ity of deaths occurring from the capsizing
of tho boat already mentioned. As seventy
four persons wero rescued from the river
by six boats' crown from tho steamship
Phoenicia of the Hamburg-American line
It Is Just possible that thcro was not a soul
lost from the Ilremen.

Agent Schwab of tho Herman Lloyd com
pany enld this afternoons "On tho deck,
of the Saalo n body was found today which
Is probably that of Captain Mlrow. It
was burned beyond recognition, but Mr.
Uonner Identified n knife which waa found
on the body us belonging to the captain,
Thero waa also found by him n mass of
melted gold which la believed to be the
remains of the heavy gold chain which tho
captain wore. Captain Mltow was unmar

"The company la lcoklng out for tho
wounded survivors nnd wo are trying to

where people are. An accurate list of
dead nnd Injured Is hard t3 get. Many i f
tho men Jumped overboard and scattered and
many aro miming.
"I wish to deny the statement that the-o
was a large quantity of oil on tho pier near
the cotton. Thcro was, however, on ono
of the piers a quantity of lubricating ell."
On tho question of salvage Mr. Schwab
nald that he did not anticipate any big
salvage of the Kaiser Wllhelm der Grosse.
"Of course there will be claims for ptl'l-
Ing the vessels out which will have to be
paid, The question is fettled by gen
eral average between the shipping, cargo
nnd Insurance Interests nnd awarding to
the service rendered tho time and the- tlsk.
The Kaiser, at tho time of the lire, did
not hnve any ntenm up.
"The members of the crew who havo
survived uninjured will be Bent ba.k on tho
Kaiser Wllhelm on July 3. Thoy will ro-
celvo aid from tho benevolent association
which the company maintains and th
widows and children will be taken care of
by the company."
Tho II re boat Hobert A. Van Wyck, which
arrived on tho scene first among the river
flro lighters, presented a plcturo of horror
and ghastllness as It lay at the docka to
night. The decks wero covered with cotton,
saturated with the blood of the victims res
cued by the brave men aboard. Tho nro-
men were at work cleaning tho boat nnd
picking up tho atnlncd remnants of cloth
ing which were torn from the burning bodies
ns they wero pulled aboard tho flrcboat from
the pit of Are. Pieces of human skin were
on the scarlet rags and tho dreadful experi
ence of the day previous wns again brought
to oyes nnd memories which sought to for
get tho horrible spectacle.
Horror of llir Heene.
Lieutenant McGlnnls said: "I should say
thero were passengers aboard tho Saale.
They looked llko passengers and surely were
not members of tho crow.They were locked
down In the hold of the vessel ns securely
ns ever ti convict was Imprisoned In a cell.
Thero wan no escapo for them after the veJ
sel began to take water. We got about
thirty out of there whllo we were allowed
to work from the decks. It waa then wo
witnessed tho awful sight of human agony.
A hundred urms with flesh off them pro
truded from the small pott holes which were
a foot or Icsa In dluuteter. If thoso port
holes bad been larger, sulllcient to admit tho
passage of a human body, the rescues could
have been many times more In tiumbcr than
they were.
"Many of those rescued wcro raving
manlaca when we got them aboard. They
could not realize they had escaped tho hor
rlblo death that threatened, them but a few
minutes before. In their delirium they
fought each other after they wero rescued.
They were ns black aa coal and their hurnod
and charred flesh peeled off with their cloth
ing.
"Tho most agonizing sight I witnessed
was that of a woman who waa burned. Wo
could sue her face and arms aa she reached
out and got a handful 'of water, with which
she washed her face, seeking to cool It and
gain relief from tho terrible heat. Sho
never once uttered a scream. Wo passed her
a cup of water. Sho grabbed It eagerly nnd
drank It. Sho could not Bpeak English, but
murmured In a foreign tonguo and In a tone
which denoted she was praying. Wo spoke
words of cheer to her. The boat cuve a
lurch, water filled the compartment which
sho was In and she sank from our sight and
we saw her no more."
Penned In by Flumes.
Lieutenant McOlnnls said thcro wcro
many explosions heard aboard tho Saale
during the fire and they drove the flromon
back. When the burned and scuttled
Saalo Is pumped out It Is believed thit the
bod lew of many people who perished b-low
Us main deck will be recovered. Some of
those penned In by the flamrn wero alive
when the steamship wns towed to the Jersjy
flats Just north of Ellis Island. Through tlio
open portholes the poor creatures appealed
for help several times before the vessel
was scuttled In the hope of putting out
tho flro which was raging in Its upper
works. Tho portholes being less than a
foot lu dlametor It waa Impossible to save
them nnd one after another tho people In
side succumbed to the smoko and llames,
Carckceper Chally of Kills l&.aud cpoko to
several of the unfortunates, as did the cap
tain of the tug Union nnd Captain I. Y
Chapman. Tho latted described a conver
aatlon which he had with one of tho II o
victims through an op on deadlight on tho
Saale:
"Tho Imprisoned man was a stevedore who
wns known to mo by sight. Ho told mo
thero were thlrly-clght men besides him
self and one woman, n stewardess, panned
In by the flames. The poor fellow had an
agonizing look on hU face nnd seemingly
roallzed that he nnd Ills companions wore
doomed to A horrible end. diving up hop
of his own rescue, tho stevedore told me
thcro were others caught between decks nnd
saked mo to try nnd savo tbeni. A mo
ment after he sank back Into tbo roaring
flames, which soon shot out of the opou
portholes. Wo went bnck and forced a
companlonway. A man who sought to gain
the Udder with a blanket wrappod about
him was unnblu to do so and as rcastod
to death."

When the fire hroko out thoie working
below decks on tho Main Included thirty-six'
firemen, six otlors, four Waterboys, two
storekeepers, one bollemian and five mi
chtnUls. These men Included the slx:een
men who later spent almost eight hours In
one of the coal bunkers with tho tire raglns
around thero.
Hesldes the sixteen who wero tnken out
early this morning fifteen others have re
ported. This leaves twenty-three of tho
forco missing. Whero thoy nro Is not known
Somo may have escaped, and they mny huvo
all been burned to death.
William P. Meyer, first fireman of tho
Main, said that the bend fireman, Irner, waa
doubtless burned to death, nnd Second Store
keeper Urpurke says Chief Storekeeper Mol-
Insky perished without n doubt.
Captain I'cterman at tho Main wns absent
when the Dre broke out and the ship was In
charge of Plrst Officer Otto Weber. Weber
has not reported since the flro and it Is be
lleveil ho perished In the llames or waa
drowned.
Christian Oucnthcr, ono of tho sixteen
men who passed almost unharmed through
eight houra of torture In tho Main, says that
tho first ho and the coal passers In the lower
hold knew of tho trouble wns when coal
failed to come down the chute. It hnd been
pouring down from n canal boat. After
waiting some time for more coal to coma
ono of them crawled Into the chute to sen
what the trouble was nnd dropped back to
report that there, were flames all about tho
outside of the ship. Then the rush for tho
calls took pla.'e ( Thole van no way of get
ting out mid l hint rsncatcd ni the lire de
scended Inward them, back to the lowest tier
of co.il tm n It cr... Thulr refuge proved n good
one. Item they remained for almost eight
houra whllo the lira raged over them, plates
nbovo their heads being so hot the men could
not touch them illh their hands. When tho
men wcro taken out one had his eyes burned
out by the Intense heat nnd two wero tem
porarily made Insane, The other men wero
practically unhnrmctl, though badly scared.
When the Sanlc was floating In tho stream,
not long before she went on the Hats, Cap-
tain W. J. Moran, on tho tugboat Iritis, got
close alongside tlje burning vessel, then ns
hot os n furnace mid under n cloud of smoke
as denso ns a winter fog. The Ivlns ran
head on against tho Saale and Mornn rllmbed
up on the rnll nt the bow and looked
through the portholes Into the staterooms.
Awful .Scene Through Tort Hole,
"I have never In my Ilfo witnessed such
sights as I saw on that burning Btcnmcr,"
Captain Mornn said today. "Just as I passed
ono of the portholes an arm was thrust out.
I got close to tho porthole and heard ugonlz-
Ing cries, as of a man screaming. At the
Rnmo time the- tug wns moving nnd I could
not remain near tlio port hole. I got the tug
back and looked through tho llttlo window.
'There wns a mail seated ou the locker In
tin: stateroom writing ns If his life depended
upon It. I tried to attract his attention, but
If ho heard mo ho gnvo no sign. Whllo I
watched tho door of tho stateroom began to
burn. To my horror tho man Imprisoned In
the llttlo room, lustend of trying to move
over to the other side of tho stateroom away
from tho flro coolly picked up n revolver
that ho had evidently propared beforehand
and placing the muzzle to his templo killed
himself before my eyes."

Tho flro on the Main ns It lay on tho

Superintendent Miller of the Ilremen plcri.

of tho dead, unexpectedly rescued twenty-
two men. On a tug ho approached the
Ilremen and found that there wcru live men
aboard. Ho took from ono of tho coal porta

who had managed to survive In tho lower
part of the voted.
Then he visited tho Kaiser Wllh?Im d r

Profiling by his experience on the Ilromen
ho scanned tho sides of tho vessel closely
nnd discovered at ono of the coal ports a
man calling for help. Ooiug to the sldo of

WASHINGTON. July 1. Two Important
cablegrams were received by Secretary Ha
today from United Stutes Consul Gen nil
Goodnow nt Shanghai. Tho date Is under
stood to bo that of last night. Tho tost
Is withheld, but tho consul slates In sub
stance as follows:
"It Is rumored In Shanghil that tho Ger
man minister to Pekln, Ilaron von Krtteler.
wns killed nt Pekln on tho ISth of June
On tho 2.1rd of June three of the leg it Inn
buildings wero still standing. Thf others
hnvo been burned. On the 2)th of Juno n
dispatch was received at Shanghil from
Yung Lu (believed to be tho vlreroy of
tho province of Chile, whero the principal
troubles have occurred), stntlng that th"
other ministers were safe."
Dispatches to Shanghai from different
sources Indicate that Prince Tuan, f.ilher
of tho heir npparent, seems to In alsilutiiy
In control nt Pekln and that his nttltud
Is tho worst poislble nnd mint hostile to
foreigners. It Is even snld that he Issued
nn edict ns far back ns the 20th of June
ordering all of the viceroys lo attack th
foreigners In their tvspoctlvo provinces an
order which has so far not be-sti obeyed.
Today's ndvlces to tho State department.
made up of tho two cablegrams from Con
sul General Goodnow at Shanghai, brought
the foreign ministers at Pekln along one
day further In safety, showing that thoy
were nil nllvp with the posjilble exceptl n
of tho German minister, who, It s ems
iiKRiy, uas necn muruortM.
Somo encouragement H drawn by the nfll-
clals from the fact that tho other ministers
wero nllvo on the latter date, for the offi
cial-, believe that tho diplomatic orps nt
Pekln could not have been prerervrd
through the fury of the first, stage.! of tho
outbreak only to fall vlrtlms to second
thought. Thnre Is also at least the Indica
tion that the Chinese government Itself was
protecting them. On the other hand, the
statement thnt the nntnrlou-ly anti-foreign
Prlnco Tunn was In complete control nt
Pekln wns regirded ns an exceedingly grave
development nnd ns tending to fix clearly
responsibility for tho happenings of th-
last throo weeks directly upon the Pekln
government. An ameliorating erudition la
the refusal of the great viceroys themselves
of almost absolute power In their provlncoi
to bo controlled from Pekln In their attitude
toward foreigners.
Will I'oIIimv Course Adopted.
A high ofllclal In the Stato department
said today that there Is nothing now to do
but to follow out tho course tho State do
partracnt has already ndopted, namely, to
havo the United States consuls put thorn-
solves In communication wl'U tho vlce-oys
or tne provinces, treating tho central go-
ernment at Pekln o.i Incnpacl ated for ml
mlnlstrntlve work and meanwhile dolug all
In their power to protect foreigners lu their
respective districts, Tho signs of amicable
disposition on the part of these viceroys
Is the probable causa for the hope that
they can be Induced nt lenst to stand neu
tral and keep their own provinces In order
If It shall be necessary to direct hoatllitlei
energetically against the Pekln government.
This courso scemn to be absolutely neces
sary now, unless developments In the Imme
diate futuro demonstrate the nccuracy of
Consul General Ooodnow's advices relative
to tho status of affairs nt Pekln. Thero Is
nuthorlty for tho statement that our gov
ernment feels that what must bo dnno nt
onco Is to drlvo forward a relief forco lo
Pekln, regardless of tho strength required.
So far It has not been regarded necessary
to do more In the way of military prepara
tions to this end than has been done and
consequently no further reinforcements
have been ordered to Taku. There Is much
doubt hero as to tho sutllclency of the force
now thero to undertake the work. Admiral
Kempff yesterday reported that 11,000 mm
of all arms wero ashore, without Btitlnx
definitely whero thoy were. It In not known
whether or not the second expedition
directed against Pekln has yet started from
Taku or Tien Tsln. In this stato of Ignor
ance an to the military situation It Is not
possible to act Intelligently from Washing
ton In the direction of adding to our naval
and military strength hoyond the sallon,
marines and regular soldiers already under
orders for China. It would aeem that to ac
complish effectlvo work some kind of an
understanding must bo reached among the
powers Interested beyond the rather vngue
one under which they nro now pro:ccdlng.
1'otvrrn Mny Unite.
A small foreign force, made up of different
nationalities, working under a tanglblo
understanding and perhaps even under ono
generalship might accomplish greater things
than more iijimerous forces working Inde
pendently and If It Is iHissibln to reach nn
nccord between the powers as to the pre
cise objects of the next military expedition,
treating perhaps only of tho Immediate ob
jects of relieving the ministers nnd other
foreigners who are In danger, and leaving
other great questions ns to tbo futuro of
China to be dealt with hereafter. It Is prob
able thnt the United States will cheerfully
adhere.
ThU government has not yet regnrded tho
developments as demanding tho assembling
of congress In extraordinary session to de
clare war nnd It Is possible thnt tho dis
patch of more reinforcements to China from
Manila and tho United States may not re
quire congress action, as long as tho object
Is strictly to succor Americans lu distress
nnd dancer.
Whllo there was no formal cabinet coun
cil today Secretary Hay had at various times
with htm members of the cabinet for tho
discussion of tho condition of affairs In
China. It Is understood no change of policy
waa determined upon.
The Indefinite character of tho news from
China regnrdlng tho condition of the foreign
legations In Pekln continues a sourco of
porplextty to the administration of this
country. They confess that It Is d I men It to
arrive at n satisfactory conclusion on tho
subject, although tho preponderance of evi
dence points to tho German mlnlator'a mur
der.
