Junf rorrespondenl of The Daily Mail at Aden, Arabia, has H'f graphic description i wreck oC the British steamship Art Two iQays after leaving Colombo'tbe Aden was struck by a severe monsoon, with squalls, violent and incessant. by day the weather grew thicker aud the passengers became more am alarmed. At 3 o'clock on the morning of.

June 9 the vessel struck upon.the Rasradresa reef, on the east- coast of the Island of Socotra. The enjrlne room was instantly flooded, and utter darkness ensued. Wild tvilh panic, the passengers rushed from their cabins and fled terror stricken Co the upper deck in the "scantiest ing. The women and children screamed in (right and confusion, but the men retained their self possession and courageously assisted the officers and crew to do their best to save the vessel and to inspire calmness. But it was soon seen that the steamer could not survive the shock, and that the only chance for safety lay in the boats.

Lifebelts were distributed, distress signals given and the boats on tJic lee side prepared for launching. Those on the weather side had already teen washed away. In the meantime, seeing that some hours were likely to Wapse before it would be possible to launch the boats, the passengers gladly accented the assistance of tbe crew to obtain more clothing. The storm continued to Increase in Violence. Huge seas washed the vessel With terrible force.

PayllRht brought no relief and only served to reveal still further the awful.ness of the situation. Ufeboata Swept Awar. Misfortune followed misfortune. A lifeboat was lowered, only to be street away immediately with three Lascars and the first officer, Garden. The gig was dispatched to the rescue with Mr.

Miller, the second officer; but. to the despair of all, both boats were rapidly swept away. The only remaining lifeboat was then lowered, amid a scene of intense emotion. A cry of anguish broke from the lips even of the men when this half capsized, throwing the sailors and the into the sea. After great efforts the boat was righted, and the women end children were lowered into it, with the exception of Mmes.

GUlett, Pearce -and Strain, who heroically decided to share the fate of their husbands, and Misses Lloyds and Weller, who remain- ed on board. The boat, manned by a European crew, left In a tremendous sea and drifted rapidly out of sight." Vast waves still swept the wreck, dashing the people about and leaving them almost prostrate on the deck. One women and irrown too weak to withstand the repeated miffetings. -were washed overboard in sight of those who were momentarily expecting the same fate. Among the first thus ingulfed were Mr.

and Mrs. Strain and their two children, the kllBses Lloyd and Weller, the misslon- arJesrMrs. Pearee's baby, with Its Chinese nurse, 'and then Captain Hill, whose leg was broken, but who had borne himself calmly and bravely, was washed overboard with several of the native crew. Itays Spent on, the Wreck. All day the victims were picked off one by one.

until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when those who still survived below. Many were badly hurt and passed the night in suspense and bodily pain, huddled In the small cabin which they expected would be their tomb. None of the sun-Ivors who were eeen cared to talk of this terrible night. The storm abated slightly on the morning of the 10th, and those who were able to move began to search for food, hunger until then having failed to assert itself over more acute privations. This proved a task of the greatest danger, as big seas were still sweeping the vessel.

The fourth engineer, while trying to procure water near the poop, was struck senseless and almost washed overboard before he could be dragged to a place of safety. Artificial respiration and similar expedients "were resorted to, but it was five hours before he was restored to consciousness. Mr. Pearce was only saved from being washed overboard by the prompt action of his dauntless wife. The Search for food resulted In their getting very little of it, and this was equally and in very small Lions.

But no vessel was sighted until the 13th, and even 4 then the distress signal was not seen. the 17th and again on the 20th other vessels were sighted, nut the signals either were not seen or -were ignored.

But for the illness of Louis juror, Judge Fitlgerald said the jury would have been out longer In the hope that it would reach an agreement, From all that be learned of one of the Jurors did not affect the result of their deliberations, as Foster Mllligan and Hobart Fash had convinced the others that their determination to vote "not could not be shaken. The jurors took 40 ballots. The first was eight to four for conviction. One 3f the four who favored acquittal was won over to the majority, and another followed. Thereafter there was no change.

District Attorney Olcott regards the outcome of the case so far as a practical victory against the trust. He is greatly elated, over the vote of the luryroom, ana if It were not for the that afl ball cases had gone over until the fail term he would have moved for retrial next Monday. "When a jury stands ten for conviction arjd two for acquittal," said Mr. Olcott, "the people are entitled to a decision on the law while the case is still fresh in their minds."

New York, June has developed seems to be a ray of light upon the murder mystery'which has so moved the people of New York during the past few days. This is the nearest approach that has yet been made to an identification of the victim, portions of whose mangled remains were found on Saturday and Sunday last in the East river and near Kingsbridge. L. Zimm of 168 'East Ninety-first street says that the dead man was Theodore Cyklan, a cabinetmaker, who was employed for the last two years by William Baumgartner Co. of Point.

Mr. Zimm, the superintendei of the factory, and three men called at the morgue with a detective and said he was quite sure that the body was that of Cyklan. Cyklan disappeared on last Thursday, He was a trifle eccentric. When he did not call for his wages on Saturday, Mr. Zimm began to think something was wrong.

Cyklan had a poisoned finger. It left a scar. Dr. Scott of the Bellevue hospital staff was called in, and he examined the fingers of the murdered man. He found a slight scar on the top of the second finger of the right hand.

It was scarcely noticeable. This scar never had been discovered before, and fact makes the statement of Mr. Zimm of value. The finger spoken t'f so much is the eft forefinger. Slinini said tlmt CyKlan had a wound on his left furrtingcr; Throe weeks apro he had struck the nail )f his finger with a hammer.

Recognized the VallH. Zimm recognized the descriptions' of the valise and its contents as of prop- ily of Cyklan. He said that the two Ifctes made him positive, as he had bought two slates at the same time that Cyklan made the purchase. The articles found in the valise are a pair of gray trousers with a small itripe, a black diagonal coat and waistcoat, two white shirts, size 15V4: a jmaller white shirt, a pair of gray drawers and undershirt to match, two slates about 6 by 4 inches, apparently new and with a capital letter A marked in pencil on the frames; a package it white envelopes and sheets of paper, i pair of soiled linen cuffs without buttons, a piece of pink string, a celluloid collar button, a black penholder, a bot- le of vaseline, a small toy barrel filled rlth small tacks, a set of shoestrings, a harmonica, half a dozen clean linen landkerchiefs and a pair of dark gray half hose.

Guldensuppe left the baths last Friday morning. He disappeared. In all the four years of his employment there he had never missed a day's work. No word has been received from him. Guldensuppe lived with Mrs.

Augusta Nack, a midwife, at 439 Ninth avenue, near Thirty-fourth street. She is separated from her husband. Nack had threatened revenge on Guldensuppe. A man who lived with the Nacks before Guldensuppe came and who is Nack's friend bad openly threatened Guldensuppe. The big masseur had supplanted him and thrashed him after taking away his pistol.
