Norfolk, Va., Dec. 8. One hundred
and ninety-seven passengers were
taken off the steamer IUngrand nt se
while the ship was on fire.
The rescue was made by the steamer
Swanmore. The latter steamer heard
the IUngrand's call for assistance and
wept Immediately to her side.
When almost alongside the burning
vessel and In response to signals from
the Ulngrand she lowered lifeboats and
sent them to the .burning ship.
The Ulngrand also had her lifeboats
ready when the Swnnmore reached her
They were hanging in their davits
loaded with passengers.
Tlie rescue was made 205 miles
northwest of Diamond shoals during a
sovm-e southwest blow. There was a
high sea, but there was such perfect
discipline among jtho crews of both
steamers that not a boat was jammed
against the sides of either ship.
The crew on the Ringrand, almost
exhausted by their fight with fire, were
eager to take the passengers to safety
The passengers were not aware that
the ship was on fire until yesterday.
It is said, although some of them'hsid
spoken of the decks being hot and had
noticed that most of the crow were bo
low decks.
No passengers were permitted below,
nnd women and children were ordered
to their staterooms.
Crew Showed Bravery.
Wireless reports, while, meager, say
that after the Swanmore had taken all
the passengers on board her crew
helped to fight the fire on the Ulngrand
The rescue, made before daylight far
out to sea, was, marine raci say, the
most thrilling recorded In some time
The fact that not a boat was swamp
ed and not a single life lost Is under
the circumstances almost miraculous,
old mariners assert.
One report from the burning ship
says that after the fire "was got under
control the passengers were transfer
red from the' Swanmore back to the
Itlngrand. Another says some of the
passengers are still on the Swanmore.
The Swanmore was only u few miles

receipt of a message that a battle Is on
In Tuxpan.
For two days there have been re
ports that the Tuxpan rebels were con
centrated for another attack and that
It might be begun at any moment.
That the British cruiser should leave
hero at the very moment that the Mex
lean gunboat Zaragosa arrived with
four companies of Infantry and when
the federals are concentrating hero Is
taken to mean that the commander has
received some very Important informa
tion, A big battle is being fought, It Is
reported, nt Hultzllac, only thirty-five'
miles from the center of Mexico City,
between Zapatistas n'nd federals, but
