TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1899.

The last New York papers do not contain
any thing further Of much interest concerning
the late Dire sdful acciden, at that place, except
an account Of the funeral of the unfortunate in
dividuals who persisted.
The bodies Of twenty. one men and two wo-
men were taken from he ship house q, ? D
clock on Saturday, and borne 10 the grave in
six carts, attended by a detachment of marines,
the Clergy, sailors and marines, officers Of the
Navy aud Marine Corps, the Comnandant AID
principal officers on the station, and "a large
body of citizens. The service was read BY the
Chaplain Of the Yard, and volley Of musqueiry
fired over The grave by delachment Of ma
rines. The body Of one Of the females was
taken from the ship house by her friends, to be
privately inferred. ,...s. q
The remains Of Lieut., Breckenridge were
conveyed at o'clock from the Navy Yard 10

have not, however, been enabled to learn the names
of tn other FIVE, except marine named Carr.
We regret learn that several 1T the wounded are
in very pre- carious situation among whom is Lieut.
