NEw YORK, Oct 4.-The Sun has q let
ter from correspondent on board the Gu.
ban war vessel Hornet. 1t says all trans.
actions for selling her were made on the
high seas so as to avoid duplicating either
the United States or England, or giving
them reason to interfere. Seventy. five
thousand dollars were paid for the steamer
and fifteen thousand for the Quitting. Her
armament, seven guns, were received from
the steamer Martha Washington, and the
supply Of coal from schooner. Her crew
numbered l42 men, and her officers hold
commands from Gen, Cespedes, president of
the republic.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Leading European
powers will probably treat the Hornet as a
pirate. The Spnniards claim that even if
she sails under the Peruvian flag it will not
relieve the United States from obligation TO
treat her as pirate under existing treaties
with Spain. There ia considerable anxiety
among importers and shippers in New York
to ascertain the course our government will
take in the matter.

most reliable information now shows that
the number killed by the boiler explosion on

killed outright, one died in two hours. one
~ Saturday morning. and third yesterday
morning. Of these, seventeen have been
identified and buried one is claimed to be
the body of two different men, one is recoR-
niaable, and the twentieth was identified this
morning as the body of John r. Bailey, of
Skeneateles, N. Y. John Kennady, a boiler
maker of this city, will die, and one or two
are very low, but the wounded are generally
improving. The missing men are gradually
turning up, and there are but two or three
now TO hear of. J. WiDslow, of Cleveland.
whose body was identified by some one, WAS
not here at all, and several others whose
friends we're certain they were killed, had
gone home, Seventy or eighty men were
wounded in one way and another but only
about twenty FIVE badly. Active measures
are being taken for the relief Of the sufferers

be held to morrow, and subscriptions will
be raised. There were fourteen funerals yes
terdGy.
The ,Coroner's Jury held session yester-
day, and will meet again to night, when
verdict will probably be rendered. All the
testimony so far shows conclusively that the
accident was caused by want of water in
the boiler. The engineer, all agree, was a
mpetent sober man, who thoroughly un-
derstood bis business, but who was probably
deceived as to the amount OF water In the
boiler. The boiler was an excellent one,
and ought to have ordinarily stood pres
sure Of two hundred pounds.
