their livesl The Lapwing was In sight but they were
out OF British jurisdiction, and went TO work with
the spirit that only desperation can produce But,
alas, those men were doomedl The Lapwing ap-
preached them, fred several guns at them and cap

General made preparation for the discharge Of the
cargo from on board the steamer, and rumor pro-
nounCed her seized, when the military were placed
on board as guard, and her machinery discon-

reached yet cannot vOuch for the truth OF the
report
: it is our humble opinion that the Government here
has dClcu lllC ledSJ Odll NlGuJ
Britain approve Of it? What will the nations that
have recognized Cuba as Government think of it :?
What will the world think Would il not have been
better to have seized the steamer at once aud taken
the responsibility of trial by law than to release
her and not allow her to coal ? And if there were
no grounds upon which to seize her, would it not
have been more worthy of the Government repre-
sentng the great British nation to take the RESPONSE
bty of allowing her coal to depart out OF British
waters if only sufficient to go to the nearest port
And none Of the above two courses could be taken
was it necessary to order the steamer out within the
limited time OF twelve hours
Since writing the above the Government decided
to seize the steamer, and yesterday at 2. M. the
Receiver General proceeded on board and took
charge of the Cespedes, ordering all officers and
crew to abandon her Immediately. Upon what
ground has the seizure been decreed we know not
but she is now in custody, and we can only saw that
this is better than ordering her to without coal

There was a strong and active money market to-
the rates of Saturday being well maintained, The
revival of activity at the Stock Board which culmi-
mated on Saturday afternoon in some degree of eX-
citement has increased the business at the banks in
brokers' loans and less discountng is done by them
to-day but as the movement may besfarly regarded
as spasmodc effort of the bulls" in Reading Rail-
road TO raise the price of that STOCK its effect will
probably be OF short duration.
Meanwhile prime paper is sent 'a begging" and
business borrowers will feel the pinch, unless they
are prepared TO pay 10@15 per cent for accommOda-

DISASTER.


: The London Ddily Netps says:-"On Friday Octo-
ber 30 information reached Frome that an explosion
of 6re-damp had taken place in one of the NewbRry
pits. The pit is called the Macintosh and had only
recently been put in working order, though it had
at Newbury by the Westbury Iron Company
Qimited), the down-shaft being at Newbury pit and
the up-shaft at the Macintosh The depth OF the
latter pit is two hundred and twenty fathoms, and
the average seam of coal five feet six inches
''The system of working pursued is the eight
come up and the day-men Were going down. At
halfpast six thirteen men and boys had been let
down, and the remainder were ready to follow.
The lamps were duly delivered by the lampman, all
being locked. In few seconds after the last batch
had gone down, a loud rumbling noise, followed by
q shock as of an earthquake, was heard, and those
above ground were at once aware that an explosion
had taken place. Very naturally there was great
excitement and prompt steps were taken to asCer-
tain the extent of the disaster and, if possible to
rescue the unfortunate men. The bailin, Mr. Baker,
main level he found that the door which separated
the pit had been destroyed, but he was enabled to
secure the fragments, and by this means to restore
the ventilation to the Macintosh pit the draught it
should be understood, being supplied by an engine
."As soon as practicable there were plenty of will
ing volunteers to descend the pit In search of their
unfortunate comrades. 1t was some time ere any
tdings reached the bank and as the shock had been
felt for fully half mile around, great crowd had
assembled, and most agonizing scene ensued. The
pit gave employment to ilty-lve persons, and
wives and children and mothers and fathers tear
fully awaited the result When at last the first body
came up the anguish Of the scene was, if possible,
increased. human form remained, and that was
about all. Tho features were scorched so as to be
almost unrecognzable, and the clothes were burnt
or torn apart. Thus hour after hour the sad work
went on, despair and hope alternating as the cage
brought up its living or mangled, or dead freight
The golfers of some Of the other pits in the dis
trict had by some means become aware of the
calamity, and at once struck work TO become spec
tatOrs OF the mournful work going at Macintosh.
1t was quarter past O'Clock when the last of the
unlortunates was brought up In the meanwhile
assembled, and the injured men were carefully
tended and removed to their homes, where two of
them died, and we regret to hear that only one of
them is likely to survive.
''1he scene in the pit must have been most appal-
ling The dead and wounded must have been
blown up and down the pit, and two had gone into
apool of water, whence they were dshed up by a
crook.

HORRIBLE!
A Murderer Confronted with his Victim,
Head.

Murderer ConlrPanted ased with dis Victim's
On the 9th proxmo Antoine Maurer will be
hanged in New City, Rockland county, New York
for the murder of Joachim Fuerter. In its resume
OF the trial, the New York Herald says:-
During the time that Fuerters body lay unrecog-
niZed after its discovery in the corn, field, tile
it for identification seized the mind OF the prosecut-
ing attorney. This course might he pronounced COM
mendable but the death head was not used alone
for this purpose. When the poor. liLte villain
Maurer was safely lodged in his prison CELL and
when evidence was acCumulattng daily to fasten
more and more firmly the gutiaess OF this dark
crime upon him, then 1t was that the aendsh genius
Of the District Attorney developed new
idea. The murderer should be confronted with the
face OF his victim; the pale features AMI sunken
eyes should meet him at unexpected moments: Inc
grim head should be popped at him from beneath
should be rolled at him in his couch and presented
to his horTied vision in the deat of nigh; thus II
was hoped confession might be wrung from him in
the startled moments of his dread When this un-
earthly object should be thrust upon him And this
scheme was carried out have it through one OF
the gentlemen most prominent in he prosecution,
that the prisoner before his trial wanted to wash nix
hands one day, and the opportunity was taken
TO confront him then with all tIat was lagt Of fh
