An Irish Port, October 12-American soldiers to the number of 364 or 366 perished when the British armed mercantile cruiser Otranto and the transport Kashmir collided in the North Channel, between Scotland and Ireland, last Sunday. Three hundred American soldiers and thirty French sailors and 266 members of the crew of the Otranto have been landed at a port in northern Ireland. Sixteen other survivors have been picked up at Islay.

More than 200 bodies had been recovered this morning and many of them have been buried. The Otranto is a total wreck on the Island of Islay. The Kashmir landed its troops at a Scottish port without loss of life. A number of the troops on board were from the interior of the United States and were without experience at sea. They had preferred to remain on the bigger ship rather than risk jumping to the small destroyer Mounsey and they seemed to be cheered by the sight of land.

The ship struck about a mile from shore and on the cliffs stood groups of islanders eager to send aid, but which it was impossible even to attempt, Owing to the teriffic wind there was no chance of getting a line to the ship which was now fast breaking up. Scores of men began to jump and many immediately were seized by the waves and hurled against the sides of the ship. About noon the Otranto was lifted on the crest of a high comber and dashed back to the rock so violently that the vessel broke squarely in two. The mast snapped short, killing men as it fell. One Survivor's Story.

The experience related by William Richards typifies that of the others, but perhaps is a bit more sensational. He said: "The fellows were fine. We knew that when the ship went fast on the rocks so far out we would not have much chance to save our skins. But we all seemed determined to make a good try. 'A wave washed off and I managed to get clear one the ship.

The first man I recognized in the water was the captain, who was thrown overboard when the mast broke away. He was standing straight up, treading water and looking about for something to grasp. "There were three men on a mattress riding in to shore as though they were enjoying life, while watched them and wishing I were on it, too, a big roller swept them all off and banged them against the rocks. "I saw five or six others hanging on a bench. Some managed to climb on the tin rafts lowered from the ship, but every raft I saw was smashed to pieces against the vessel or on the rocks.

Carried Into Cleft in Rocks. "A big roller carried me into a kind of a cleft in the rocks and I was thrown upon the side. I must have passed out. When I came to I saw two British soldiers on the other side of the ravine. They threw me a rop, which I made fast, and climbed up hand over hand." Joseph Pollock said he believed many more of the soldiers would have been saved but for the steep banks of the cliffs.

In one little cove twenty-eight bodies were counted. As was the case with the victims the troopship Tuscania, the loss of the Otranto's papers prevents the Army authorities from learning the names of the missing. All the names of the survivors are being cabled to Washington, where they will be checked against the full list kept at the port from which the vessel sailed. In this way the dead will be ascertained. 16 Survivors From Fort Screven, Ga.

The Health Department reported today a slight increase in the number of cases and deaths from Spanish influenza, while there is a slight decrease reported in the number of cases and deaths from pneumonia from yesterday's figures. For the twenty-four hours ending at 10 a.m. today the total number of influenza cases reported was 4,596, against 4,293 reported yesterday.

The cases are divided among the boroughs as follows: Manhattan, Bronx, 462; Brooklyn, Queens, 324; Richmond, 226. Of the total of 215 deaths reported for the same period 99 were in Manhattan, 34 in the Bronx, 60 in Brooklyn 14 in Queens and 8 in Richmond. The pneumonia cases reported today total 373, as against 394 yesterday. Today's cases are divided as follows: Manhattan, 195; Bronx, 48; Brooklyn, 91; Queens, 25; Richmond, 14. Deaths reported today from pneumonia totaled 194 as against 210 yesterday.

Today's deaths are distributed as follows: Manhattan, 73; Bronx, 38; Brooklyn, 64; Queens, Richmond, 12. Dr. Copeland said this morning that he thought that the peak of the epidemic had been passed in Manhattan, but that inasmuch as Brooklyn was about one week behind Manhattan In the start of the epidemic, the peak had not been passed in that borough. He that there might be, in the next fever days, a decrease in influenza cases and an increase in pneumonia cases. The Health Department has withdrawn the restriction concerning the presence of children at theaters and moving picture shows on account of the fact that these places are reported as abiding by the rigid rules of the department and also from the fact that per cent.

of the cases have been among children between 5 and 15 years of age. Dr. Copeland today issued the following statement "We had the advice of really eminent men, experts in public health, with the indosement of national experts like Chapin, Hurty, Rosenau and Welch, and the approval of our own Academy of Medicine, through its able committee on public health. We can get on very well, even if some lesser light seeks publicity. Whatever this man, or any other citizen proposes, provided it appeals to the staff of the Department of Health and our advisors, will be adopted.

I have no time at present to discuss personal criticism, especially when they are founded on such glaringly inaccurate premises. Constructive criticism, is figures welcomed. of the Department of Health are those furnished us by the entire medical profession of New York City, and we cannot agree that the profession has been lax in its vigilance and its duty to community to the extent alleged. "Undoubtedly the number of sick people in New York is greater than the cold figures indicate, but we stand by our statement that up to date 2 per cent. of the population is the extent of the present serious epidemic.

If there were no other reason for calmness, patriotism and the cause of the Liberty Loan would lead us to advise coolness on the part of our people. However, there is no present occasion for panic." "As Col. William H. Welch said in his telegram today, the situation in New York is less serious than in other affected parts of the country. Certainly comparison with the experience in the Army, where is collected the of the nation under ideal supervision, makes us take courage.

Pittsburg Doctor Announces Cure. Pittsburg, October 12-Dr. George F. Baer of the Homeopathic Hospital staff here, announced this afternoon that he has found a successful cure and preventive for Spanish influenza. Baer said tests on patients suffering from the disease and having fever of 103 have recovered under the treatment, which also has proved a successful inoculation against the malady.

In announcing the result of experiments since the epidemic began, Dr. Baer said the preparation used is not a scientific secret, but a combination of iodine and creosote. Schools Hit By Influenza, Mr. Grace Strachan Forsythe, district superintendent, informed The Eagle today that some of schools in her districts, in the congested Williamsburg section, had been hard hit by influenza. This, she said, was especially true of P.

S. No. 147, Bushwick ave. and Seigel one of the largest in the city. It has two departments, boys and girls.

On the girls side, yesterday, there were 688 pupils absent, one-third of the whole department. and on the boys side 250 were absent. The epidemic has also affected the teachers, of whom ten were absent in that school. One of them died yesterday and one had died on Tuesday. The death yesterday was that of Miss Florence E.

Sammond, of 823 Willoughby and that of Tuesday was Miss Gertrude M. Genge, of 318 Halsey st. Mrs. Forsythe also said that many teachers in her districts were ill and that it was impossible to get substitutes. speaking of the sickness among teachers, she gave it as her conviction that much of it was due to the fact that they had to ride to and from school in overcrowded and badly ventilated cars.

Dr. William L. Ettinger, Superintendent of Schools, requested principals of all the schools in the city to report as to conditions in their schools, the number on register and the number absent, also the number of teachers who are absent. These "eports will probably be tabulated on Monday, and a report of the results made to a special meeting of the Board of Education to be called during the week. It is said that there is probability that schools in which the epidemic is prevalent will be closed.
