Disabled Passenger Steamer Was
Towed to the Azores.
PROPELLER AND RUDDER BROKEN
■ihe Will Await the Arrival of the
Elbe to Carry Passengers to Eng
land —They Were Not Alarmed at
Accident.
Horta. Azores, March 10.— The
Ktruria anchored here at 6 o'clock last
evening. All on board are well. She
had a comparatively uneventful pas
sage except for the breakdown, which
occurred during the dinner hour of
February 26. When this occurred the
Ktruria had only just finished speak
ing by wireless telegraphy with the
Canard line steamship Umbria. After
the accident was discovered the
Etruria called the Umbria wirelessly
for one hour, but without success.
I'pon examination it was found that
(lie ship's propeller had broken off
outside the tube, and that the rudder
had been carried away by the pro
peller. The Etruria then sent up rock
ets. which were seen by the British
steamer William Cliff. The latter
bore down and was alongside in 50
minutes after the accident. She stood
by until daylight, when, after several
attempts, she succeeded in passing a
hawser aboard the Etruria. The tank
steamer Ottawa arrived on the scene
at this time. The William Cliff then
attempted to tow the Etruria, while
the Ottawa attempted to steer her.
The hawser, however, snapped. The
Ottawa stood by for two days and
then left for Faval, bearing the sec
ond officer of the Etruria, to report
the disaster and obtain assistance.
In the meanwhile the crew of the
Etruria had made every effort to rig
a jury rudder. The first, such rudder
was carried away immediately an at
tempt was made to use it. After
further efforts lasting for two days &
second rudder was successfully ad
justed and is still in position.
The passengers of the Etruria were
satisfied that they were in no danger,
and they praise the conduct of the
captain and crew of the vessel. After
the accident the passengers amused
themselves with the usual deck sports,
and concerts were held In the first
und second cabins. Only those who
were anxious concerning business mat
ters chafed at the unavoidable delay.
The Etruria will wait here for the
arrival of the Royal Mail steamer
Elbe, which left Southampton for
Horta Saturday. The Elbe will carry
the Etruria's passengers to England.
The Etruria will then be towed home
by tiie tugs which are now on their
way out from Liverpool for this pur
pose.

Fifteen dead in texas wreck
Train On Southern Pacific Was De
railed and Burned.
San Antonio, Tex., March 7. —A
broken rail caused a frightful wreck
on the Southern Pacific Railroad, near |
Maxon station, 25 mileß went of San-;
derson. yesterday morning. From the '
latest accounts received here 15 peo-1
pie were killed outright and 28 were
more or less injured. Among the in
jured is Mrs. Mitchell, of Philadelphia,
who is hurt internally.
The ill-fated train left San Antonio
at noon Thursday, and at the time of
the accident was running at a high
rate of speed in order to make up time.
The road at the point where the wreck
occurred is in a rough country, the
curves being sharp and the grades
heavy. It was when rounding a curve
that the train left the track, it is said,
on account of a broken rail. All the
passengers were asleep, and the shock
that followed waa the first intimation !
they had of the danger. The train was
going at such a rate of speed that the i
tender and engine landed 75 feet from
where they left the rails. The cars
behind piled up against the engine,
causing a fire, and all were consumed
except the sleepers.
A private car owned by Thomas
Ryan, of New York city, whose family
was aboard, was attached to the rear
of the train, but it was pulled away
before the fire reached it, and no one
in it waa injured. All the killed in
the coaches Just behind the express
and baggage cars were cremated. The
people in the sleepers were saved with
tho assistance of the uninjured passen
gers.
As soon as it was possible? to get
in communication with the division
headquarters, relief trains with sur
geons and physicians were started
from El Paso, Del Rio and Sandersou,
picking up along the line all the sur
geons that could be found. All the in
jured who were in a condition to be
moved were sent to El Paso, where
they are receiving oareful attention.
