Terrible Collision Off the Coast oi New York
French Liner Run Down in a Fog. .
HALIFAX, July 6. News reached here today of the
collision of the French Trans-Atlantic Company's steamer La
Bourgoyne and the British ship Cromartyshire in a fog about
sixty miles south of Sable Island. y i
Of the 833 aboard the Bourgoyne but 200 were saved,
170 of whom were passengers. There was only one woman
among the saved. The purser and three engineers were the
jonly officers rescued.
The log of the. Cromartvshire is as follows :
July 4, 5 a. m. Dense fog, position of ship sixty miles
south of Sable island, ship under reduced canvass going four
or five knots per hour. Fog horn kept going regularly every
minute. Heard steamer's whistle on port bow, which seemed
po be going very last. We blew born, were answered by
steamer's whistle, when all of a sudden she loomed up
through the fog on our port bow, crashed into us, going at a
terrible speed. Our foretop-mast and maintop and gallant
mast came down, bringing with it the yards and everything
attached. I immediately ordered the boats out, and went
to examine the damage. Four of the boats were completely
cut off, and the plates were twisted. The other ship disap
peared through the fog. Our ship was floating on her col-
ision bulkhead, with no immediate danger of sinking; we
were at work immediately to clear the wreckage of the ship
on the starboard quarter which was hanging over the star
board bow in danger of punching holes in the bow. Heard
n,he steamer blow her whistle. We answered with the foe:
horn. The steamer threw up a rocket and fired a shot. We
threw up a rocket and fired several shots, but neither saw
or heard anything -
About 5:30 the fog lifted somewhat, and we saw three
boats pulling toward us, with the French flag flying. We
signaled them to come alongside, and found the ship was La
pourgoyne, from New York for Havre and had gone down.
We laid to all day and received on board about 200 surviv-
prs from among the passengers and crew. There were re
ported to be in all about 600. About 3 p. m.; another steamer
move in sight, heading westward. We put up signals "N.
C." (want assistance). The steamer bore down toward us.
She proved to be the Grecian, bound from Glasco for New
lYork. The captain agreed to take the passeneers aboard and
pow my ship to Halifax.

GRAND STAMPEDE
FROM SANTIAGO
Thousands are Being Carriedjto Jamaica
Those Left Behind are Frantic to
Get Away.
Kingston, Jamaica, Jnly 6. Thou
sands of people met the launches of the
English and American warships at the
water side at Santiago, and when the
foreign passengers learned that passen
gers would be taken off the English and
Austrian consulates were besieged by
hundreds imploring a chance to leave.
One Spanish merchant in a pitable
state of alarm offered the British consul,
Mr. Ramsden, $15,000 in gold to desig
nate him as a British-Cuban, with au
thority to be taken awav. Those
brought to Jamaica came in the clothee
they stood in, some even with absolute
ly no kind of baggage, who thought on
ly of escaping with their lives.
The non combatant a in the city were
in a state of desperate panic. Miss
Rams Jen, Consul Ramsden 's daughter,
says the American' shells flew around
their house on Saturday and Sunday
morning. Mr. Ramsden could not leave
Santiago and his wife would not. The
report was that the city would be bom
barded yesterday at 10 in the morning.
No one seems to know accurately the
strength of the Spanish forces in the
city and its environments, but 9000 ap
pears a probable estimate of those fit
for duty. Streams of wounded have
been flowing in day and night from the
firing lines. Every fifth house in Santi
ago is an improvised hospital.
The sailing of Admiral Cervera's fleet
had a bad effect on the soldiers. They
were dismayed when they saw the war
ships no longer in the harbor, and felt
themselves abandoned to fate.
General Vera del Roy, second in com
mand to Linares, having been killed on
Sunday, and General Linares having
been wounded. General Toral is chief in
command in Santiago.
A MUTINY".
OF PRISONERS
Six Spaniards Killed in the Skirmish
No Injury Done to Americans.
Washington, Jnly 6. A special dis
patch to the Star, dated off Santiago,
July 6th, says:
"After the destruction of the Spanish
fleet 440 men from the' Marie Theresa
were placed as prisoners on the Har
vard. For some reason these men mu
tinied. The officers and crew of the
Harvard were prepared, and the muti
neers were fired upon. Six Spaniards
were killed outright and twelve
wounded.
A SPLENDID SHOWING
Financial Report of the Southern Pa
cific for the Past Fiscal Year..
San Fbancisco, Jnly 6. The financial
report of the Southern Pacific Company
for the last fiscal year shows an increase
in profits of $4,000,000 over the business
of the preceding year. This shows that
the last 12 months were the most pros
perous in the history of the corporation.
The gain in earnings is largely attri
buted to the operation of the Pacific
system.
Increases in profits have been noted
on nearly every road in the system,
though in some few cases there has been
a falling off in travel and consequent
loss to the company.
En Route to Manila.
Kansas City, July 6. A body of 256
recruits for the Tenth Pennsylvania
passed through here during the night
en route to Ran Francisco, whence they
will be forwarded to their regiment,
which has sailed to the Philippines. All
were completely equipped, except for
guns, which they will receive at San
Francisco.
Another Spaniard Captured.
Key West, July 6. It is reported
here that the Spanish warship Alfonzo
XIII made an attempt to run the block
ade of Havana harbor, and was prompt
ly captured by a United States cruiser.

Kobbud the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject
is narrated by him as follows : I was in
a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyeB sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first bot
tle made a decided improvement I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my lite and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.
