1 STEAMERS IN COMl! The Ortigia and the Maria P. Crash ?j Together in the Mediterranean. as OVER A HUNDRED PERISH. 5 m tt w The Dlnwter Occurred in the Middle of the m Night When Most of the Passengers W Were Asleep?-A Terrible Panic Ensued ^ and Only One Boat Got Away?Fright- a ful Scenes on Board. at An accident resulting in the death of 148 ? fives occurred near the mouth of the Gulf of flpezzia, Italy. At 1% o'clock a. m. the Reamers Ortigia and Maria P. ran into each ether, and the Maria P. was damaged so bad4jr that she sank in a very short time. The Maria P. had on hoard in addition to fcer crew 176 passengers bound from Naples for the River Plate. Most of them were emigrant?. It was pitch dark when the collision occurred, and there wa* a terrible scene aboard the sinking steamer. Most of the passengers were asleep in their bunks at the time and were awakened by the ?rashincr of the steamer's plates, deck beams. ?nd deck planks. They rushed on deck and tan hither and thither, alternately calling for tx>ats and praying aloud to the saints. From the reports of the disaster received it was impossible to determine whether any attempt wa? made by the Maria P. to clear away nd launch her small boa'is, but. judging from the accounts sriven by thu excited survivors. It la surmlcoH ftinf Hi?tfi:amprwent downtoo quickly to leave time for lowering all the ?oats. But one boat pot away. The force of the collision was terrific. The Ortigia struck the Maria P. squarely on the starboard side,and her stem penetrated eighteen feet. When she backed out. a great volume of -water poured through the hole, and the ves- n sel began almost immediately to settle. From "the statements of some of the crew, it an- ? pears that the disaster was the fault of the Ortigia. The crew of the Maria P. numbered f0 seventeen. Of this number, fourteen were n| saved in the boat that got clear of the ship. G This boat also saved the thirty passengers. hi The Maria P. was a schooner-rigged ir?n er #crew steamer of 722 tons. She was built in Sunderland in 1886. and was 175 feet long, d( S7 feet beam, and 20 feet depth of hold. She fti had five compartments. Her engines were ai of the comDOund type. She was owned by c< Marin i Brichetto, and her hailing port was w .Genoa. The collision occurred off Isola del Tino. The Maria P. was bound for Genoa, where the emigrants on board of her were to be transhipped to the steamer Sud America, Ci -Which was to convey them to the River C< t Plate. D It was learned that the lookout man on u ;the Ortigia saw nothing of the other steamer Ie >antil it was too late to avoid a collision. ' Io The officers of the Ortigia contend that no Ki boats were lowered by the Maria P., and 51 that their vessel saved all the survivors. The M Ortigia remained ia the vicinity of the acci- 51 dent for several hours, hoping that she 51 P might be able to rescue others. 51 N< HIS MARRIAGE ACRAND, SWEET SONG- N!

MUfortune to the Liberal Party in Great Britain. The Liberals received the new- of another | serious defeat when It was announced that John Morley, who was Chief Secretary for Ireland under the Bosebery Government, had been defeated at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where both the Conservative candidates were successful.

Mr. Morlev, in 1892, polled 11,903 * votes, and when ne was re-elected in the same year on taking office as Chief Secretary j for Ireland, he polled 12,928 votes, consequently he received 1126 v*t*s less than * he did when re-etected in 1892. The defeat of Mr. Morley caused a great ' sensation throughout Great Britain. After * the result of the election was announced, " Mr. Morley, in a speech at Newcastle, said: ? "This is one of the most tremendous battlea ? ever fought in any British constituency, and I jrreatly regret to say we have been defeated. ' But we have before shown that we knew * how to bear triumph with moderation, and [ I hope we shall show that we know how to bear defeat with cheerful courage." (Cheers).

BiHfflffi BENT QUITO" The Indian Disturbances in Wyoming Reported to Be Serious. THE SETTLERS UP IN ARMS, Governor Richards Appealed for Federal Aid?General Copplnger Ordered to Proceed ft> the Scene of Trouble and Return the Bannocks to Their Reterratloa?lllood Has Been Shed. A dispatch from Pocatello, Idaho, sayr ''The Indian war has broken out In eaanest. It is known that Bannock Indians have killed a settler, his wife and ohlld in the flalt River Yalley and the white men pursuing the murderers killed six of the redskins." Secretary Lamont, after reading the telegram, sent a dispatch to Brigadier-General v^uppiugcu, wrnmauuiu^ IUO l/ojjatimuui vy* the Platte, ordering him to proceed at once to the scene of the Indian troubles to ascertain the exact situation and to order out such troops as were necessary to protect the settlers. A mail driver reported that a courier, who came into Rexburg, Idaho, from Jackson's Hole, said that a flght occurred there and that twenty white men were killed. Advices from Adjutant-General Stitzer'to Governor Richards, of Wyoming, indicated that a battle was in progress between Indians and whites in Jackson's Hole. A telegram from Stitzer says: "Met Indian Captain of Po'ice hurrying out with all possible speed. He says ho cannot control Indians, who will flght settlers." Governor Richards was advised by the Interior Department that Federal troops had been ordered to protect the settlers. Among the despatches received by Commissioner Browning was one from Agent Teter at the Fort Hall (Idaho) Reservation, which confirmed the press reports and indicated the urgent necessity for the immediate presence of troops at the scene of the troub.e in Wyoming. The telegram is as follows: "Have investigated the trouble between the Indians and the settlers in Wyoming, and would advise that troops be sent there immediately to protect law-abiding citizens, the lawless element among the settlers being determined to come into conflict with the Indians "Settlers have killed from four to seven Indians, which has incensed the Indiana, who have gathered to the number of between 200 and 300 near Salt River, (In Uintah County, and refuse to return to the reservation. I find that the Bannock Indians have killed game unlawfully, according to the laws of Wyoming, though not unlawfully according to the treaty between the Bannock Indians and the United States, and the usurping of the prerogatives of the settlers in that respect caused the trouble. Nothing but the intervention of soldiers will settle the /I4fflnnlftr on/1 aovo Hvuc r?f ^nnnnfinf' nftwnnfl ? and prevent destruction of property." Agent Teter's despatch was forwarded to the Secretary of War, accompanied by a copy of the following telegram from Governor Richards, of Wyoming: ' Despatches from Adjutant-Genoral Stltzer, who is on the ground at Jackson's Hole, repeated to you. Will the Federal Government take the matter in hand of returning the Bannocks to their reservation, or will Wyoming be expected to do so? Please wire reply. W. A. Richabds, Governor." The clause in the treaty between the Bannock Indians and the United States, under which the Indians claim they wore within their rights in hunting in the Jackson's Hole district, is as follows: "The Indians herein named agree that they will make said reservation their permanent home, and they will make no permanent settlement elsewhere; but they shall have their ri?ht to hunt on the unoccupied lands of the United States so long as game may be found thereon, and so long as peace exists 'among the whites and Indians on the borders of the hunting districts." *\aUmw a# Tn/lian "On?>an 11 Viofl hflon Jto persuade the Indians to use this hunting privilege as sparingly as possible. Thetreaty was signed July, 1868. The hunting, now that trouble has broken out, will have to be given up. " Commissioner Browning said that if the pettlers would not push matters, the Indiana would not proceed to hostilities, and that the peacefulness of the situation would not be disturbed pending the arrival of the United States troops, which would end the trouble. The entire population of Jackson's Hole district gathered in Mary's Vale, a small settlement near the Gross Vendre River. There are in the settlement sixty-five men, nearly all frontiersmen, capable of making a good flght. There are also thirty-five women and jforty children.
