NORTH GERMAN LLOYD STEAMSHIP BREMEN; BURNED IN THE HOBOKEN FIRE.
While .the loss to. the; North German Lloyd Company, is a tremendous one in money and three of their vessels are
destroyed, Mr. Capelle, the resident agent, says that there will be no interruption of their service, and that passen
gers who had secured berths on the vessels destroyed will be provided for as if nothing had happened.
NEW* YORK, July 1.— The loss on the
steamship properties and other
companies estimated to-night is
approximately as follows:
The steamship Main of the North
German Lloyd line cost $1,500,000 outside of
the cargo, fitting and stores. The less is
placed at $1,290 ,000 for the vessel and about
$400.0ij0 for the fitting and stores and the
cargo that was aboard of her.
The steamship Bremen of the North
German Lloyd line cost $1,250.00!) and her
fittings and cargo were valued at $300,000.
The c.irRo and stores were entirely con
sumed und the loss to the vessel proper
will amount to at least $750,000. She ia
benched oft We'ehawken to-night and still
smoldering, apparently destroyed ex
cepting her machinery.
The Saale. the steamship which wili
have the most horrible story of death to
unfold when the divers go down In her.
cost the North German Lloyd Company
$1,250,000. and the fittings and cargo jvere
valued at ?.">GO,000. The Saale Is beached at
Ellis Island and still burning. The dam
age to the vessel proper is placed at about
$S0O,POO. / ¦
The damage done to the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Grosse is estimated at $23,000.
The three docks of the German line,
which were burned to the water's edge,
are estimated to have cost $300,000. The
decks were filled with merchandise ju3t
received from abroad and valued at $350,
000.
The Thingvalla pier, which was entirely
consumed, was valued at $50,000. counting
the stores which were on__it. The Ham
burg-American line dock, which had Just
been completed as an extension to their
great pier and which was destroyed in
order to prevent the spread of the names,
was damaged to the extent of $15,000. This
was the only loss they sustained, as the
steamer Phoenicia, contrary to reports,
was not even scorched.
The warehouses of Palmer Campbell,
houses K, F. G and H/were burned. Mr.
Campbell said to-night that he could not
give a definite estimate of his losses, but
the damage to buildings alone would
amount to at least $00,000 and the Contents
to $1,250,000. Had the fire occurred at any
other time in the year, he said, the loss
would have been much greater, as just at
the present time the imports are very
lignt and the houses ,were not well filled.
This statement accounts for the compara
tively small loss on the three piers of the
North German Lloyd line. One lighter
containing 5000 bags of sugar was de
stroyed, the loss being $27,000.
Barges and Canal Boats Lost.
Eight barges and eleven canal boats
were either burned or sunk with their car
goes. Total valuation, $123,000.
The Hoboken Shore Railroad had a num
ber of cars burned and other property
damaged. Loss $7000.
Minor losses on floating property, burned
at the fire proper or set on fire by burning
driftwood, will amount to about $20,000.
The personal losses sustained by those
aboard the steamships can simply be sur
mised, as there is no way of ascertaining
this at the present time.
Freight Manager Bonner said to-night
that the Main had about 5000 tons of cargo
in her hold. Of this there were- 2000 tons
of grain, 1000 tons of slag, about 3000 bales
of cotton and general merchandise. The
Saale had a full cargo. Including copper,
and general merchandise, but the. Bremen
had hardly any cargo. aboard. .' ; ~ .'
"I believe," Mr. Bonner said, "that tha
loss to the car^o on the three ships will
exceetl $1,000,000. Aa to the loss of cariro
on the piers, it is difficult to estimate,
for there was both inward and outward
bound cargo there.
"The greatest damagvs_0n the careo of
the Saale. will be that done by the wa
ter. I believe the hull of the Saale below
the waterline is all right and also her
engines. In a visit to the Bremen we
found that whi^e the hull is in good shape,
apparently, the cargo is lost. The Bremen
has a list to port and there is some dan
ger that she may break if she Iist3 fur
luer. Th« Alain, like the Bremen. wa»
still burning when I was there."
Gustav Schwab, the agent of the North
German Lloyd Stemshlp line, said:
"Things are Jn a very unsettled condi
tion as yet and I have been hard at work
to-day gathering up the end3. I nave
been on a tour of inspection this morning
and In a tug visited all three of the
wrecked vessels, as well as the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse. She will leave on
her regular trip Tuesday at 10 p. m.
"The Saale was the first vessel we vl»-
Ited. From there -we went to the Bremen
and the Main. Both of the vessels are
still burning. I should not say that any
of tlie vessels would be a total loss. They
look worse from the outside than they
really are. After they are pumped out
we can tell better what the loss will be.
Both the Bremen and the Suale are. how
ever, pretty badly damaged. "Wrecking
companies are working on the Saale and
she will be pumped out as soon as possi
ble.
"I will not give any figures, nor can I
estimate what the amount will be. The
loss on the ships will be estimated by the
home office. We received a cablegram
from them asking for Information. The
home office knows the value of the shifts.
I can only guess roughly at — e cost. Tho
piers In Hoboken are all insured in local
companies, but I do not feel that I can
give the names of the companies.
"There was on the pier a quantity of,
car^b. TYhlch, of course, was destroyed.
we are not responsible for the carico,
either on the ship or on the piers. :
"The cargo on the pier comprised cot
ton, machinery, measurement goods, to
bacco, cement and general merchandise."

"The conduct of Commander Stewart of

difllcult.
"A fort thirteen miles above Taku was

said to-day that there was nothing now
to do but to follow out the course the
State • Department has already . adopted,
namely, to have the United States Con
suls ,nut themselves into communication
with the Viceroys of th'e province?, treat
ing the central government at Pekine as
incapacitated for administrative work,
end meanwhile doing all in their power to
protect the . foreigners in their respective
districts. The signs of amicable disposi
tion on the part of these Viceroys is
probably the basis for the hope that they
c:in be kiduced at least to stand neutral
and keep their own provinces in order
i< it shall be necessary to direct hostilities
energetically against the Peking Govern
ment.
This Government has not yet regarded
the developments as demanding the as
sembling of Congress in extraordinary
session to declare war, and it is possible
that the dispatch of more reinforcements
to China from Manila and the United
States may not require Congressional ac
tion, as long: as the object is strictly to
succor Americans in distress and danger.
While there was no formal Cabinet
council to-day. Secretary Hay had with
him iit various times members of the
Cabinet for the discussion of the condi
tion of affairs in China. It is understood
no change of policy was determined upon.
Minister Wu said to-night that he had
not received anv dispatches during the
day from any part of China.

text is withheld, but the Consul states In
substance as follows:
"It is rumorpd in Shanghai that the Ger
man Minister to Pekinp. Baron von Ket
teler, was killM at Peking on the l?th of
June. On the 23d of June three of the le
gation buildings were still standing. The

June a dispatch was received at Shanghai
I from Yung Lu (believed to be the Viceroy
I of the province. of Chi-Li, where the prin-
I cipal troubles h*ve occurred) stating that
'the other Ministers were safe."
Dispatches to Shanghai from different

' cf the heir apparent, seems to be absolute
j ly in control at Peking-, and that his atti-
I tude Is the worst possible and most hostile
I to foreigners. It is even said that he is

VICEROYS EXPECTED f
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL

WASHINGTON, July l.-To-day's ad
vices to the State Department, made up
«.f two cablegrams from Consul General
Goortnow at Shanghai, brought the For
eign Ministers nt Peking along one day
further In safety, showing- that they were
all : live with the probable exception of
the Merman Minister, who/lt seems like
ly, ha* been murdered. Some encourage'
mem is 5*rawn by the officials from the
fact that the other Ministers were alive
on the latter date, for the officials believe
that the diplomatic corps at Peking could
not have been preserved through the fury
of the first stages of the outbreak only
to fall victims to sober second thought.
There 53 a!so at least the indication that
the Chinese Government itself was pro
tecting them. On the other hand, the
statementthat the notoriously anti-foreign
Prince Tuan was in complete control at
Peking was rogardod as an exceedingly
grave development, and as tending to fix
clearly the responsibility for the hapoen
lngs» of the past three weeks directly upon
the Peking Government. An ameliorating
condition Is the refusal of the great Vlce
royp, themselves of almost absolute Dow
er In their provinces, to be controlled
from Pekine In their attitude toward for
eigners.
A high official of the State Department
S~\HA.NGHAI, July i. — The British Consul at Chcfu tclc-
V, graphs that Baron von Ketteler, German Minister at Pe
\^_J king, was murdered by native troops on June 18. Three
Itgatians — it is not stated which — were still undestroyed
on June 2$. The American Consul )iere says that Yunh Lu telc
;grafhe'd on June 26 that the other Ministers were safe that
morning. The situation zias desperate and he doubted zvhether
the Ministers could hold out twenty-four hours longer, as he and
¦ the. Empress could not longer give protection.
LONDON, July* 2.— Official dispatches received by the con
sular body at Shanghai, an Express cable dated Shanghai, July
j, says, confirm in the fullest manner the report of the butch
crx of Baron von Ketteler, the German Minister, on June 18.
¦.The Embdssador was riding in Legation street zi'licn he was at
tacked by Chinese troops and Boxers, dragged from his horse
and killed. '¦ His body zvas hacked to pieces zvith swords. The
German legation and six other buildings were burned and a
number of servants of the legations killed and their bodies thrown
hit 0 .'the flames.
m
Official confirmation of this ghastly business has created
:':c utmost consternation among the Consuls General of ihe
powers. zJho expressed fears that z<ar a 1' out ranee zvill be dc
rtcrca against the Peking Government. The Consuls entertain
little Jwpic ikat any foreigners arc left alive in the capital. There
zvcrcioO: foreigners connected zi'ith the legations, fifty in the
'¦Custom-house, English and American tourists and others to the
¦ number of Jjd, and nearly 500 legation guards.
A disfiztcli to the Express from Nankin, June 30, says:
"French priests here have received reports from Peking that
public executions of foreigners have been in progress since June
2d... The nezi'S comes by runners from French priests at Pe
king^ z'vho state that they administered the last rites to the con
demned men."
: Nankin cables, dated Sunday, say that Viceroy Liu Yun
Yifi rcceiz'cd a telegram ftom General Yulu on Saturday stat
ing that the German Minister had been murdered at Peking.
Yulu, who escaped from^Ticntsin to Pao Ting Fu, also wired:
"Position desperate. Implore your help. Foreign troops of

GERMAN MINISTER WAS
SLAIN BY CHINESE TROOPS
TO ~T ElV YORK, July I. — The losses sustained in the fire at
I \ / * ne docks of the North German Lloyd Steamship
C 7 Company in Hoboken yesterday arc to-night conscn'a
tiyely placed at nearly ten million dollars; the loss of life
— merely guess zcork at even this late hour — will reach; proba^
My as high as 200, and there arc over 300 men in the, hospitals
in this city, Hoboken. and Jersey City badly bunted. ! .
Up to 11 o'clock to-night eighteen bodies had been recovered.
Eleven of these were placed in a rozvat the morgue in this city
and numbered, this being the only means the authorities have of
maintaining any sort of identity over the corpses, as they arc so
badly charred and dismembered that identification zvill be made
only by trinkets or pieces of clothing that were found about the
bodies. The only way the steamship officials have of approxi
mating the loss of life is by comparing the list of those reported
safe with the list of the employes on the steamships. ;.- "-..'
Late to-night Gustavc Schwab, the general agent of the
North German Lloyd line, gave out a list showing what; men on
cad: zrsscl had been missing up to that hour.
i, On the Saale 2jj men zverc employed and only 13 7 of these
had been accounted for up to 11 o'clock, leaving 128 men actual
ly enf ployed as officers, sailors, stczvards, engineers, coal pass
ers, oilers and trimmers to be accounted for. ": .
The Bremen had 204 men on board, but only 12 7 of these
have been found. The Main had 137 employes on board at tlie
time, and of these only seventy-six have been reported safe..'.
>* -. A spectacular but horrible sight zvas presented to-day.
Where, ''two days ago, piers reached hundreds of feet out into the
river and rose like great hills alive zi'ith outgoing and incoming
commerce, lay a great zcastc of burning and smoldering beams,
zi'ith here and there a remnant of a high brick wall. The three
immense piers of the North German Lloyd line zvere burned to
the waters' ripple, the Thingvalla pier lay smoldering, and a
part of the Hamburg-American pier, which had just been add
ed to their great piers,- were in ruins. Four large storehouses
of the Palmer Campbell Company are wrecked, and they, with
the piers, zvent to make up the appalling mass of debris, smoking,
sizzling and steaming. It covers over four city blocks and
reaches out into the river for over a thousand feet.
The loss of life will probably prove greatest when the wreck
of the Saalc has been searched. Already a number of bodies
have been taken off, and as soon as the fire in the hold has sub
sided there is cz'cry probability that many bodies will be found
belozv decks. Various tugboat captains claim to have seen
thirty or forty persons in one compartment just before the
Saalc went down.
