the 15.h, for New York, touching al
Brest, which port she left the day follow
ing, 1.-THE 16th.) She encountered strong
head winds and heavy weather almost
from the start. The storm increased In
violence until, when five days out from
Brest, it became furious gale, which
threatened destruction TO the ship.
Heavy seas broke over her, carrying
away entirely the forward deck cabin,
dining saloon and bar of the second Glass
passengers, deluging the eDgine-roOm
and partially disabling the ship. The
storm caused the vessel to luFch tremen-
dously. The passengers and crew were
thrown from place to place with great vi
olence. The loss Of lie and injury TO
persons on board are attributable to this
cguss only. On the 2lsL the Periere ship
ped an immense sea, estimated sc lO0O
tons, which completely flooded the cabin
and killed one Of the passengers outright
a Miss Hu0ckelbuTg, from Germany.
The storm coming from the west, and

ability to successfully ride it out, thought
it prudent TO put the vessel about, " Whlch

1 Three Of the crew and three of the sec
ond-elass passengers were killed, and
many others injured. Their injuries,
however, were mainly slight, and ali are
now doing well. Mr.. Cslleghsn, Cath
Olic priest, Fuslquier, Frenchman, and

gers killed. The latter had her neck
broken. None Of the first-clsss passen-
gers were injured.

James Dempsey and Joseph D0nshue
have for some time been bad friends,
quarreliDg frequently and inaulgiBs in
the use OF very oppTObFious epithe,s
About ten O'Clock on Thursday evening
Dempsey met Donabue, and commenced
going through the usual vocabulary Of
hard names. D5Dahue spraDg at Damp-
sey with knife, which he dashed vio-
lently into the back Of his neck, and
drew 1t around the throat to the front,
nearly seveTing the head from tbs body
The murderer wss soon after arrested
and taken TO the ststionhOuse. His
hands were covered to the wrist with the
blood OF his victim, and the front of his
own wooden shirt was also saturated
The knife, blade aud handle, was COM
pletely covered with gore, showing with
what tremendous force the blow must
have been struck.
The cable news from Paraguay is
slowly contradioting the effect cf previ-
GUS dispatches, by which it Wss declared
that Lopez was utterly defeated, and
querors, with only two hundred follow
ers, leaving Viletts and ruined cause.
1t ls now clearly understood that the
Allies hold Viletts, snd they claim that
they have yet before them the strong
fortress OF Angosturs, Of which Vlletta
was SD outpost. Lopez, having retired
to the latter, the Allies find themselves
obliged to stop before Augostura, and 90
through other work of siege and assault.
The PsragsysDs, in their accounts, also
deny that they were totally defeated at
Yiletta, snd when the full staten ant is
received there will doubtless be sufficient
TO show that the statements already
made public have been very much exsg-
gerated.
