Tli Disaster Cost the LI res off ViceAd m Ira 1 Tryon, Twenty-Two Officers and C'!G Men Cupt. Iionrke of the Xoat Victoria Writ en Letter to the , Admiralty Office Other lleports. LONDON. July 2. A midshipman from the Victoria arrived at Calais early thi3 morning with Hear Admiral Markham's dispatches coticernlns the collision off Tripoli. He was brought by special steamer, the Slakl of Kent, to Dover, and was thence conveyed by special train to London. He drove directly to the admiralty otfice. where the admiralty board, notified in advance of his coining, received and read the dispatches at once. The board decided to publish the dispatches In full forthwith. The first dispatch was dated from the war&Ip Camperdown on June 22. It says: "It is with most profound reyret that I have to report the total loss of her majesty's ship Victoria, involving the Irreparable loss of the commander-in-chief, Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, twentytwo officers and 335 men under the following circumstances: "The squadron, consisting of her majesty's ships Victoria, Cainperdown, Nile, Dreadnaught, Inflexible, Phaeton, Edinburgh, Collingwood, Hanspareil, Edgar, Amphion, Fearless and F.arham, left Beyrout about 1 o'clock this forenoon for Tripoli. Shortly after the squadron formed single column, line abreast, and proceeded at the rate of about eight knot3 an hour. When about Ave miles from the anchorage oil Tripoli the signal was made at 2:20 in the ufternoon to form columns of divisions In line ahead disposed abeam to port the columns etx cable lengths apart. "We proceeded in this formation until 3:2S, when the signal was made from the Victoria to the first division to turn sixteen points to port and th second division to turn sixteen point? to starboard. The Movement Xot Possible. "As the columns were only six cable lengths apart it was not, therefore, in ray cpir.ion possible within the maiiOeuvriug distance to execute such an evolution. I directed the flag lieutenant to keep the signal which we were repeating ct dip as an indication that the signal from tho. Victoria was not understood. I then directed him to signal with semaphore. 'Do I understand it is your wih for the colurns to turn as indicated by the signal now llyiny?, but before my order could be carried out the command'-r-in-t hief sent for me to know what I was waiting for. It then struck me that he wished me to turn sixteen points, as indicated by the signal, and it was hi.4 Intention to circle around the second division, leaving them on the port hand. Having the fudest confidence in the great ability of the commander to manoeuvre the ejuadron without evm risk of collision, I ordered the signal hoisted as indication that I understood. When the signal was hauled down the helm of the Camperdown was put hard aport. At the same time the helm of the Victoria was starboarded. I watched very carefully the helm of the Victoria as indicating the purpose of her signal A Collision Inevitable. Seeing that a collision was inevitable, I then ordered him to go full speed astern with both engines, but before speed could be materially checked, the stern of the Camperdown struck the Victoria on the starboard bow, about twenty feet before the turret, and crushed into the ship almost to the center line, the fure and after lines of the rhip at the time of the collision being inclined toward each other at an angle of E.bout SO dt-grees. It was, I think, quite two minutes before the Camperdown was able, although going with full speed astern, with both engines, to get clear f the Victoria. The water-tight doors of the Camperdown had ben closed by my orders before th3 collision occurred.. "Seeing the critical condition of the Victoria, which seemed to be settling down by the head, boats were immediately prepared and the boom boats ;were got ready to be hoisted out, when the open pendant was hoisted by the jV'lctorla and the signal was made not to Eend boats. A very few minutes later ehe heeled over to starboard and turning bottom upward, disappeared. The time that clapsf-d between the occurrence of the c ollision and the disappearance was only about thirteen minutes. Shortly before the Victoria turned over the men were seen jumping overboard. Observing this, I immediately ordered the signal made to send all boats to the rescue and directed the Harham and. fearless to close in at once and save life,-steaming up in the Camperdown at the same time to succor the officers and men struggling in the water. The cornLined efforts of the squadron resuted In the saving of twenty-nine officers and about 2G2 men, but I regret that no le?s than twenty-two officers and about 33J men, the majority of whom were in all probability below at the time, were lost. The Camperdoivn'a Injuries. r "The sea was smooth and there was tmly a light breeze at the time of the accident The injuries to .the Camperdown are 6Ious. but I hope that with the assistance of the artificers of the equadron they may be temporarily repaired so that ehe may be sent to Malta and docked. (Here Rear Admiral Markham gives a detailed and technical description of the Injuries sustained by tlto Camperdown.) "I regret that he ship's books of the Victoria were lost. In fact nothing of Importance has been recovered so far. For some hours after the sinking of the Victoria the water remained .agitated over the wreck. The screws were revolving as she Bank. I remained in the vicinity of the catastrophe with th squadron until 5:39 o'clock, when, as the Camperdown was making water, I deemed It advisable to anchor the ships off Tripoli. The Amphion. Barham and Fearless remained until after dark, but did not recover anything of Importance. "I cannot express the deep grief and. sorrow felt in consequence of this lamentable catastrophe by. myself, the captain, the officers and the men of the Mediterranean squadron corrow that Is very materially enhanced by the grreat end irresparable loss which the navy and the ration have sustained In the death of our beloved commander.

profession of "vhlch he was such a distinguished ornament, had endeared him to all who served In his command." A. MARKHAM. Hear Admiral." Capt. Ilo urate's Letter. The Hon. Maurice A. Bourke, the captain of the Victoria, sends to the admiralty a letter dated II. M. S. Nile, June 23. Capt. Bourke recites technically his orders up to the point of making the turn. "The signal was hoisted for the first division to alter course sixteen points to rort and the second division to alter course sixteen points to starboard. The leaders together, the rest in succession. The flagship's helm was put hard to starboard and I directed a midshipman to observe closely the distance of the Camperdown. I reported to the commander that it should be too close and asked permission to reverse the port screw. This was done, and just before the collision both engines were going at full speed astern. The ship had turned twelve or thirteen points when the Camperdown struck the Victoria on the starboard bow about ten feet abaft the anchor. The Camperdown's bow came right through into the ship as far as into the chain-lockers and burst in the bulkhead between the fore mess deck and the stokers' mess deck. "When the collision was seen to be Inevitable orders were given to close the water-tight doors. I called round and asked if everything was tight and was answered with 'yes,' but by whom I could not say. I then heard the order for every one to go on deck and the men in the flat where I was on the starboard side all went up. I then got up on the mess deck and aft and down into the starboard engine-room. The engines were being worked and I heard the gongs of the telegraph. There was no water in the engine-room. I then went to the after bridge where all were at their stations to get out the boats. The ship's company in great numbers were on the port side of the upper deck. I then went along the port fore and aft bridge to the admiral, the ship having a heavy list to the starboard. Just as I reached the cutters' foremost davit on the port side the ship gave a great lurch starboard and I clutched at the rail. I found myself sucked down but I came up to the surface again among the wreckage. I, with many others, was picked up by the Nile's boats. The conduct and steadiness of all at their stations was beyond praise. There was no panic of any sort or description." Other Reports. Staff Commander Hawkins Smith and Lieut. Heath of the Victoria also made reports. The former says the Victoria was headed in for land to get into shoal water. She gradually filled by the bow and listed over to starboard. Heath was doing duty as executive oilicer. Lord (.iillford. flag lieutenant of the Victoria, said the admiral wished the distance between columns to be six cables. About 3:13, he says, the udirmal came on deck and after a few minutes on the after bridge, went down to the top of the forechart house. About 3:25 I hoisted, by the admiral's order, the signal: 'Second division alter course in succession sixteen points to starboard, preserving order of fleet; first division alter course sixt--n points to port, preserving order of fleet." While this was Hying, the admiral ordered the following signal to be got ready: "Columns to be two cables apart and all ships will turn together with their guides as the juide. of the fleet turns." "The last ship to answer the above signals as far as I could see was the Camperdown. About 3:30, as soon as she had answered, the signal was hauled down by order of the admiral. Thereupon the Victoria put her helm hard to starboard and the Camperdown put her hard aort. I ordered three midshipmen to watch the speed and helm signals of the Camperdown, Edinburgh and Nile. No alteration, however, was reported to me other th;tn the Camp-rdown's helm was being hard over. On the signal being hauled down and a collision apparently likely Avith the Camperdown, the irt engines were reversed and almost immediately afterward the starboard engines also. I reported to the admiral that the re:d!i;n,ght was lowering loats. He thereupon made a general signal to annul the sending of boats. "After the collision the admiral remained on deck. H asked the staff comanier what water we were in and the staff command. -r replied: "I.-.-p water, seventy to eighty f.it hoins." The helm was then put hard htarlx.arl and both engines went half speed alunl. The ship made headway swinging slowly to port. A minute afterwards the steering gear broke down, the quartermaster rejH.rting that he was unable to mve the wheel. During this time the ship gradually keeling more nl more to starboard and the water riing rapidly over the forecastle, the admiral ordered me to go down and ask the captain if the ship was making any water aft." In endeavoring to carry out the admiral's orders he was washed away by the rising waters, and when he came to the surface caught sight of the Victoria sinking, bow first.

The World says: "Fifty thousand dollars, the largest sum ever paid by an American railroad company for injuries to a single person will be paid by the New York Central to Mrs. Homer Baldwin of Yonkers within a few days for Injuries she received in the disaster at Hastings on Christmas eve, lS'Jl. The accident was a rear-end collision and the result of carelessness In signaling. The World's exposures immediately after caused the Central to put in a block system to prevent a similar accident. Mrs. Baldwin was crushed by heavy timbers and scalded by steam from the engine. Her scalp came off, her eyelids were burned away and her eyeballs were so injured that they were removed. Both ears were gone and the right arm and nearly all of the left hal to be amputated. Mrs. Baldwin brought suit for $2C0.0y damages. The company's defense was that Mrs. Baldwin was riding on a pass. The case was to be tried last Tuesday, but shortly before it was called A. B. Cariington and Joseph Choate, attorneys for Mrs. Baldwin, accepted a settlement for j.'.O.Oou.

TKKRE HAUTE, June 23. Special. There will be no graduations from the Indiana state normal school tomorrow. The entire graduating class of sixtynine left school, refusing to yield to the trustees. The graduations are declared off. At 10 o'clock tonight the board of trustees gave out the following public statement: "The trustees of the Indiana state normal school have decided to have no public commencement exercises tomorrow. The law authorizes the board of trustees to grant from time to time certificates of proliciency (certiiicates of graduation) to such teachers and students as shall have completed any of the prescribed courses of study, and whose moral character and discipline routine of the school shall be satisfactory. "It is the duty of the trustees under the law to ascertain whether the disciplinary relations of the members of the present senior class are such as to entitle them to be graduated. The normal school is the state's training school for public school teachers and no young man or woman should be permitted to leave with the highest indorsement of the institution who does not recognize fully by his or her words and conduct the lawful authority by which he or she is controlled. "The board will spend whatever additional time tomorrow as may be necessary in investigating this subject. Any cirtificates or diplomas granted will be conferred without public exercises." The sensational climax in the Indiana state normal controversy, between the board of trustees and the faculty on the one side, and the 1,000 students sustaining Prof. Tompkins, the deposed professor, on the other, came tonight and there is much excitement. At. 4:30 this afternoon the full board of trustees, who came here today to attend the commencement tomorrow, submitted a statement in the nature of an ultimatum to the entire graduating class ot sixty-nine, demanding that they return it signed before 6 o'clock thi3 evening, disavowing both individually and collectively the recent attacks on the trustees and faculty in the matter of Prof. Tompkins removal. The entire class of men and women refused to sign the statement and at once packed up their I ks and effects and left the building. Not one of them remained. The students who sympathize with the graduates did the same thing and soon the building was emptied of all except the trustees and President Parsons. The greatest excitement prevailed. Many r.f the graduates and students crowded to the railroad offices and purchasing tickets, started for their homes in various parts of the state on the first trains. Eighty-four counties of Indiana are represented in the school. President Parsons tonight declined to give out the ultimatum sent to the graduating class. (lovernor Matthews is now on his way from Chic ago to attend tomorrow's com-meiieenii-iit that is not to be held. Tonight the trustees formally decided that there would be no graduating exercises tomorrow. The feeling on both sides i.i very bitter. At the annual meeting of the alumni of the school this evening there were C.xeitiilg seojies. The opponents of the trustees and faculty were out in force, determined to pass a resolution denouncing them and calling on the governor to appoint a member of the alumni on the faculty. Snr)i resolutions were in fact Introduced and fK-ry speeches were made. The graduating class was also present In force, which was unusual, but the Hlumni voted after a number of speeches that the graduates should not be allowed to vote. Many of the alumni, while opposed to the school authorities, believed It unwise for the alumni to take a hand In the light and the resolutions were defeated, but immediately afterward the alumni showed its real sentiment and adopted a resolution practically unanimously appointing a committee to draft a law for submission at the next alumni meeting providing for one of the alumni to be appointed on the loard of trustees by the governor. This is a slap at the trustees. Prof. Henry of Bl")niington. president of the normal alumni, presided. He was bitter against the trustees and President I 'arsons. Dr. B. I. Kelrlin of Chicago was elected alumni president for the next year. There was suppressed excitement all through the meeting and it is thought tonight that tomorrow will be a day full of interest for the normal school. TKURE HAUTE. June 30. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the trustees announced the faculty for the next year, as follows: William W. Parsons, president, history and philosophy, of education. Howard Sampson, vice-president, mental science and methods. Michael Seiler, German. Alpheus McTaggart. latin. . W. B.

It will bt observed that President Par

J 'J- J

sons, against whom there is such an intense feeling, was re-elected. This was expected as the board is standing by him through thick and thin. The boasd did not fill the place of President Tompkins, the deposed professor, whose removal started all the trouble, but left the chair of reading and rhetoric vacant until supplied. The excitement has been intense all day and well into the night. Governor Matthews arrived thi3 morning to attend the expected commencement today, and the first thing he did on arriving was to go up to the Normal building, where he became the object of all interest. The senior class, who was to have received their certificates teday. held an exciting meeting in one of the rooms, and at the same time the Junior class .was holding a meeting to decide not to return next year unless the wrongs they claim exist are righted. Heated speeches were made against the last action of the trustees, which has precipitated the present phase of the trouble. The senior class appointed a committee to wait on Governor Matthews, but the governor refused to receive the committee, saying he would not receive any but the entire class. The governor was invited into the senior meeting and for upward of an hour he patiently heard speeches from the spokesmen, detailing their charges against doth the trustees and faculty. They charged that incompetent men were in the faculty, that the trustees had denied the right of petition by students, that President Parsons was dictatorial and had sacrificed Professor Tompkins through jealousy, and had conceded no right of opinion to the students and that last night's action of the trustees in making a demand on the graduating class to abjure the principles they were contending for was some-' thing they could not concede. Governor Matthews then addressed the students, evidently trying to pacify them. Hersaid they must submit to the legitimate authority at the school, and that they should hasten to put themselves on the right side, and that the trustees had taken steps that he concurred in. None of the sixty-nine graduates were allowed to graduate, it was first stated, but later the trustees privately granted certificates Just before adjourning, to four of the class as follows: Mary and Nina Coltrln, Terre Ifaute; Jennie Randolph, Kibbie, 111., and Grace Norwood. Whether they signed the statement cannot be learned. One of them was not here at all. being sick. Just before the graduates adjourned this afternoon theyjvoted as a unit not to accept graduation under the terms stated. They declared with bitterness that they would not sacrifice their opinions for the diplomas even after foi;r years hard school work. Speeches of that tenor were enthusiastically applauded. Many of the graduates and the students left for their homes tonight. It Is Impossible to overestimate their bitterness toward the trustees and President Parsons. It was a noticeable fact that if such a thing were possible the women were more determined than the men in standing out for what they deemed a great principle. The trustees of the State normal are Murray Briggs, Sullivan, president; W. II. Armstrong, Indianapolls; B. F. Spann, Anderson; I. II. C. Koyse. Terre Haute; with Superintendent of Public Instruction Vöries as extra office member. They were all b- re today with a thousand students scattered all over the state in a common agitation to reorganize the trustees and faculty. There would appear to be some hard lines ahead for the trustees and President Parsons. Many of the young lady graduates were dressed in new graduating dresses this morning, which they had prepared for the event that did not come. There were a number of visitors, parents and friends here from all parts of the state, who had started for Terre Haute before the trustees laid down their ultimatum, and a very disaffected crowd they were. Naturally tly-y took the side of the graduates and the expressions

tner usea towaru ine t isiees ; ty severe. But the trrApes W stowed away in th--j'a.te, tion reom and did iTt hear they used toward the t jistees were pretere safely consultathe hard things said about them. Governor Matthews was asked his opinion of the controversy and he said: "I don't see that I can find any fault with the board. There must be a head to all Institutions and the board is only exercising the power vested with it." Trustee Royse said: "It is not our intention to give out for publication the paper we presented the graduates to sign. They would put a meaning on certain passages not intended and the publication would do more harm than good." Those juniors still here this afternoon Informally decided not to return next year, at least not unless President I 'arsons is removed and unless the trustees are reorganized. It must be understood that all of these graduates were denied certificates allowing (hem to teach schools In1 various parts of the state and as many of them have practically no means of their own it meant much to them to refuse the graduation en the terms offered. TERRE HAUTE. July 1. Special. The graduating class of the Slate normal school which was refused diplomas because It would not retract its opinions and statements concerning the board of trustees and President Parsons, growing out of the removal .of Prof. Arnold Tompkins, has issued the followoing statement to the people of Indiana: "The class of '93 of the Indiana normal cshool wishes to submit the following statement setting forth its xosltion and motives in relation to tha recent action of the students of the normal school. "For years the students of the normal school have felt that the management of the school was open to severe and Just criticism. We have been in a position to know much more about the inside workings of the school than any one else. We have had many and serious grievances but in the main held our peace out of respect for authority. "We have always been loyal to rightful authority and have the highest interest of the institution at heart. We do, however, as students of the normal school and as citizens of the state of Indiana, claim the right to protest against wrongs which we know exist. No one has more right to try peacefully to right a wrong In such an institution than the students who suffer from such wrongs. We have respectfully petitioned the board to be heard on certain matters but have been denied this privilege. We have thought and said what we are convinced is the truth. We, as a class, have discountenanced anything which pointed toward rebellion. All recitations have been attended and all study hours observed. The board interpreted certain statements made by the committee of fifteen, acting in behalf of the school; as rc-flectig uponthe character and integrity of the trustees. We did not intend to publ.cly question the character of the trustees and submitted a statement to that effect to President Parsons, who claimed to be acting for the board, and the statement was officially accepted aa sufficient evidence of the student's good intentions. They were assured by President Parsons that that envied the controversy and his statement strongly implied that no further movement need be expected. Nothing further was done to Incur the displeasure of the board. Nothing further has been attributed to us. The board permitted us to continue in the school work, the program was prepared, and every preparation for commencement was carried out in good faith. "The senior class had no Intimation that they would be subjected to any discipline. We believed that no reason existed for euch action and resting upon our rights as Student and citizens had no apprehension that wo would be persecuted for having thoughts which circumstances had forced U3 to entertain and express. "On the afternoon of June 29, the day before the commencement, the class was called to meet the board. Manydid not receive the notice, and but forty-two were present. "Mr. Briggs, president of the board, presented to us two papers for our signatures. One of . those was intended for members of the class, who had lately returned or who had taken no part In the action of students. Ths ot'uer wu adru -.. tfimm who a i

President Briggs said that these papers were not to be discussed, but to be signed n the otilee. He refused tp discuss the question and to leave a copy of the requirements with us for examination. He stated that this must be done by each one separately, and in the presence of the board, Ik-fore 6 o'clock' that evening. The same reply was returned to a committee sent to request such copies. "Hence we have no copies of these papers, but state that they embodied some things that we could not sign without violating our consciences. Hence we refused. We met again June 30, and by committee addressed the following to the board: "Board of Trustees Indiana State Normal School: "Gentlemen The class of wishes to respectlfully state its readiness to meet the board in consultation upon the differences between it and the class. It will el.) this as a class or by committee. "The class thinks there must be a basis of agreement other than the requirement presented yesterday and it makes this overture to secure reconciliation. Respectfully, CLASS OF 1S93. "To which thi3 answer came: "To the Members of the Class of 1S93: "Your communication of this date expressing a willingness to meet the trustees in conference on the existing differences between the class, and the board of trustees bs been received and noted. "In re-ply, we beg to state that the trustees will willingly r'veive any individual or committee wishing to consult them. The law is explicit in requiring the board to set that all persons before ree-tiving certificates of graduation shall siiatain satisfactory disciplinary relations to the institution. Nothing less than th distinct disavowal by each of you in the form we offer of all injudicious and improper conduct will meet the requirements of this ease. MURRAY r.niGGS. "President Board of Trustees." "A committee was sent for further explanation and was told that the class must sign . the papers as presented ye-s-terelay evening. This the class respectfully refused to do, because the statement of the board demanded a complete retraction of all that had been said and done and an expression of regret for all the steps that had been taken. Some of these things we have already privately or publicly condemned. "Some we cannot now withdraw. They express our views. But we were required to aecept all or none. We preferred the latter as more in harmony with our thought. For being loyal to our convictions, we were denied the privilege of graduation. In the above we hive sought carefully to avoid any overstatement of our cause, and must now trust it to the judgment of others." It turns out that the four members cf the class of fixty-nine who were privately given their graduation certificates, the Misses Mary and Nina Coltrin, Jennie Randolph and Grace Norwood, did not sign the statement presented by the trustees. They were not in the school during the recent trouble and were consequently not parties to it. Th- trustees did not ask them to sign the paper.

THE GOVERNOR ARRIVES;

HE .TALKS ABOUT ROHY TO A SEX TIXEL" REPOIITEIU Governor Matthews Says He Hid Not Authorise the Statement That the Fights Conld Not Be Stopped, hat Expresses a Doubt About the Jurisdiction of .'the Civil Authorities Waiting; for the Attorney-General's Opinion. ' Governor Matthews returned Friday afternoon from Chicago. He was asked if he had authorized the statement given out by the Associated Press that there was no law in the state to prevent the Roby prize-fights and replied that he had not. "The first I knew of the report was when my attention was called to it in The Sentinel by Judge Reinhart." "What action do you propose to take for the suppression of them in the future?" "That would be a hard matter for me to say. I am earnestly desirous that the evil should be suppressed, but although I have not before so stated, I believe there is some doubt as to the powers of the civil authorities to stop lt. I have talked with the attorney-general about it but at the time he had not given the matter sufficient study to give an opinion on it. but will do so soon. I have also asked other prominent lawyers to express opinions on the laws of the state governing the incorporation of such clubs as the Columbian club and regulating prizefighting. Until I get these opinions I don't know that I can say anything. I want to know how much power I have before I attempt to act finally." "Were you present at the last meeting or exhibition of the club? It was so reported here." "No. I went to Crown Point on Saturday before the fights, which took place on Monday, to consult with the civil authorities of the county. I found them careless and inactive and received very little satisfaction for my trip. I did not feel that I had the power to order the sheriff to do or not to do anything, and of course did not do -so. I I will just make this final statement and that is that everything will be done that is possible to put an end to Roby. However that cannot be done soon. The circuit court of Lake county has adjourned until September and anything that Is done must be done through it." "Cannot you have the court sit again for thos special purpose?" "That is doubtful."
