One of the Passengers Says That There Was Absolutely no Discipline on Board tho Vessel and That JSverythlng Was In a l'anle-.Tho Bleumer Was Badly Steered in the Gale She Swung Her Head Around a Few Points, Careened and Went Down in a Few Minutes. San Francisco, June 6. 'Steamer San Juan arrived this afternoon from Pana man and way ports with the following survivors of the wrecked Pacific Mail steamer Colima: Third Mate Hansen, R. A. Villas, a carpenter, A. Richardson, T. Fish, mem bers of the crew; H. A. Sutherland, C. H. Cushlng, jr., J. M. Thornton, H. H. Boyd, George (Rowan, Bruno Cenda, Joseph Manuel, G. D. Rosa, Louis San glenes, T. J. Oriel, Juan A. Romo's. The following survivors were landed at Mazatlan: Thomas Zaralai, D. Olivas, A. Guittieres, Carlos Luitz. As soon as the marine observer re ported the ship two miles out the water front became the scene of considerable exitement. The Pacific Mail dock was besieged by a crowd that blocked the streets. As the revenue cutter bearing the customs officers and newspapermen neared the ship some one of the Coil ma's rescued passengers with bandaged heads were seen leaning on the bow rail. Just prior to the arrival of the re porters, however, the Pacific Mail com pany's tug came alongside the San Juan and took off Third Mate Hansen, who more than anybody else could throw light on the cause of the wreck. There was general disinclination among the survivors to give any information. George D. Ross, formerly boatswain's mate on the cruiser Olympia, who was on his way to New York, gave the fol lowing account of the wreck: "We left Mazatlan May 26, at 4 p. m., with a fair breeze blowing. Toward 9 o'clock the wind increased and contin ued blowing pretty fresh all night, Next morning at 6 o'clock the wind moderated considerably until about o'clock, When It again came up and steadily continued to gain in violence untilltacqulredthe proportions of a hur ricane. The wind blew in great gusts, causing the ship to list badly to star board. "The Colima labored heavily and it was evident that we were in a serious predicament. The greatest excitemen prevailed aboard. Just at that momen a fatal blunder was committed iby the third officer, who cut the lashings of deckload consisting of 32,000 feet of lumber. Some of this was washed into the sea, and what remained "on deck was driven about, knocking down and maiming those whom it struck. A pret ty heavy sea struck the ship, tumbling the foremast and smokestack. ."Shortly before this, however, a sue. cession of-Jiuge waves had punched hole in our starboard bow, through which the see poured. Women scream, ed and rushed' up the companionway, imploring ! the men to save them. The ship gave a couple of heavy rolls, an enormous sea climbed on us an smashed the hurricane deck, and with one mighty lurch the ship went down, As she was making her last lurch dove Into the sea, and when I came up she was out of sight. People were floating around, clinging to all sorts of wreckage, and some sinking under our eyes. Some who had managed to grasp boxes or planks were knocked fcenseless and drowned. The force and effect of this floating mass of lumber annot be described. It caused the leath of many who might otherwise ia,ve been saved. It is a difficult mat er to say to what cause the wreck of he Collma Is attributable. She mus certainly have shifted her cargo, as tier strong list to port showed. I firmly believe that but for the hlfting she would have rode the gale, had been in the water some time cling ing to one object or other when finally managed to get hold of a good sized lece of hurricane deck upon which I limbed. I drifted about for a time hen I observed a man on another lece of wreckage, close to me. He reined about done up, so I seized his ift and hauled him on to mine. He irned out to be Thornton. "We were the closest in shore of any the survivors and were picked up iy the first officer's boat of the San nan after being twenty-three hours in, le water." Ross was severely cut about the head iy floating wreckage and had numerous her cuts about the body. T. J. Oriel, an electrician on his way Mexico, gave about the same ver- on of the commencement of the storm e said the Collmia during the height e storm listed so badly after rush of ives that she did not recover. About o'clock on the morning of the wreck, said, I went below to the steerage arters and noticed water coming into e starboard scuppers. Shortly after- rd a quartermaster came down say- K the captain wanted to see the en- leer. The latter was on deck, but re- ned to the engine room in three four minutes looking like a ghost. s face was ashy pale. That was the t seen of him. By this time the steer- pasengers had all gone below when seven men of war men from the lerican cruisers Olympia and Phila- phia tried to console those around m. One of these finally . told us were doomed. We shook hands, said d bye and he knelt and said hi3 yers. II started to go on deck, but the ship ed so bady that, I could scarcely jke my way up. 'At this time the I'd officer cut the lashings that bound lumber deckload. I made for a t, intending to cut it loose, but could , The shipwas on her beam ends the decks bulged out and were flnal ent. I then jumped into the water, ed a box and was washed about n one float to another. The heaviest all came just following the disap-ra-ace of the ship. While it prevail ed many of those struggling in the waves were mangled and drowned by floating lumber. Tom Fitch, Jack Car pente-r and two Mexicans and myse got on a raft and were picked up by boat in command of Ca.ptain Long, for merly captain of the Colima. A Mex can named Zerrabia went crazy from drinking salt water." C. H. Cushlng, jr., was In bed during the first part of the blow, but got up in time to be hurled into the sea with a cabin roof. He said: ,"I found myself im the water withou knowing just hew I got there. When had abandoned all hope of being saved I found myself floating near a. portion of the cabin roof with two others. They pulled me on the raft. Shortly after wards a keg of claret floated near and we captured it. It was a, long time be fore we opened it and I am sorry it was ever opened. My two companion drank until they became worse tha Intoxicated. One lay down and went t sleep, but the other insisted upon quar rolling 'and finally attacked me. To save my life I had to knock him over board. The bath sobered him and pulled him aboard again. He bega drinking harder than ever and finally fell over and was drowned. After his companion awoke he behaved himself and later we were picked up." Mr. Cushlng had a brother, eighteen years old, aboard. Mr. Cuahijig wa terribly cut on the head by floating lumber, besides being bruised about the head and body. George Rowan, an other passenger bound for New York tgreed in the main with the previou statements regarding the storm and added: "There was absolutely no discipline, no organization of any kind. Every thing was a panic. The captain stood On the bridge. Women screamed and children cried, clinging in desperation to their parents. . When I became con vinced that the ship was doomed pulled down some life preservers. The steward ordered me to discontinue wha I was doing, but I kept on pulling clown life-belts and passing them out As I am unable to swim I tied a belt around me and jumped into the sea, Three times I sank and had just reached tor a piece or wreckage when I was again knocked under by something. A large gash was cut in my head and I am cut and bruised all over. After floating for twenty-four hours on large piece of wood I was picked up by a boat from the San Juan." Sailor A. L. Carpenter was one of the party on the raft. He says that attempts were made1 to lower the boats. but failed. All tbe women were in the state rooms. He thought something snirted below. The vessel steered bad ly in the gale and when thirty miles below Manzanillo she lost steerage way, swung her head around a few points and quickly careened over on her beam ends. Scarcely ten minutes elapsed before she went down. Captain rayior died at his post. Carpenter wa thrown into the water. He seized a piece of lumber and floated until picked up. - sucn a hurricane," said he, iievci ueture experienced m a 1 mv seafaring life. Lumber, decking and pomes urirted by us and the horrors of the situation were alone enough to render us helpless." Off THE HA I.Ij FIELD. Results of the Garnea in the Big League Yesterday.

OXFOItTt A$I YAZE. tfng'i-'-h I'nlverdlty Atliletot May Sleet at New Havm. Lewie P. Sheldon, ti:e newly elected captain of the Yale Track Athletic team, was asked yesterday afternoon to confirm the statement that Yale and Harvard would be Invited to meet Cam bridge and Oxford universities here in September. He said: 'I have no knowledge of the matter except through the newspapers. The Invitations of the English universities, has not been received here. Yale will be delighted to accept the invitation in case satisfactory arrangements can be made. I do not know whether Har vard will be willing to Join Yale in the meet or not. The meet means that the two colleges will be obliged to train more or less all summer, which we will cheerfully do If we can meet the Eng lish team." It Is feared at Yale that the Invitation sent by the University of Pennsylvania to meet the English team has been slighted. The cablegram inviting Yale to meet the Englishmen is expected here hourly. Up to a late hour last evening the au thorltles at Yale had not received the cablegram. RECEIVED WITH SURMISE. Harvard Athletrs Think an International Contet, a Good Thing. Boston, June 6. The news of a chal- ,,um " morning caused considerable comment at Harvard. In the first place it was a surprise, because Harvard men thought that the American team should be the clmllenger, since Oxford won from Yale last year. The Mott Haven men who were seon all thought an In ternational contest an excellent thing to arouse athletics at Harvard. But if would seem that a meeting this year will be almost . impossible, especially since the English universities would ,,rptfir to have it take nines next Sen- temher Professor Ames, chairman of the n th etio comm ttee. was seen, but de- dined to express an opinion in regard t0 the matter since the Harvard authorities have not as yet received a formal challenge from England. In the first place it will be three weeks before the formal challenge is received and acted upon by the ath- letic aommlttee. By that time all the men who were on the Mott Haven team this year will be outVif training. Most of them will have scattered for the summer. But few would consent to a hard summer's training. The challenge has awakened a new interest at Har vard, which will undoubtedly give ath letics there -a good push. It may be that international contests will help subdue the overpowering rivalry that has gradually grown between Harvard and Yale. The action of the advisory commit tee Is looked forward to with considera ble enthusiasm. Phildelphla, June 6. President Ken- drlck of the Inter-colleglate Athletic association to-day stated that a letter ls Ilow on lt!S way t0 tms country from Mr - JacKson or tne uxrora (iungianrt) university, stating wny Oxford and Cambridge have refused to meet, In England, the winners of the recent inter-collegiate championships. Mr. Kendrick has called a meeting of the executive committee of the Inter-col legiate Athletic association In New York on Tuesday, when the letter which will then have been received, will be discussed.
