fragments of the wreck we're found, but no
survivors could be discovered"
Later.-Eighteen of the crew of the Gap
tain reached Cape Corrobedo, and report that
another boat full of people was stove and
upset and all on board were lost
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
LoNDoE, Sept 11.-As the fragments of
the Captain thus far found belong to no vital
parts of the ship, it is thought her hull may
have drifted seaward. From accounts given
of the storm, it seems that the gale was in
creasing, and on Wednesday morning the
signal was given for the squadron to wear
ship. The Captains response to the signal
was not seen. The rest of the fieei ran be-
fore the wind until out of sight of her, and at
one o'clock heavy squall came up, which
perhaps proved fatal TO the iron-clad, throw
ing her on her beam ends or driving her bows
under The bodies found were those of men
whose duty it was to wear ship. 1t is pos
sible that the vessel was driven to sea after
being weecked, and that the bodies of the
men found were washed from her decks The
names of the officers and the seventeen men
said to have been saved are unknown.

THE LOST CAPTAIN.

ADMIRAL MINES REPORT OF THE oIRoUM-
STANCES ATTENDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF
THE moN-CLAD.
LONDON, Sept. 10.-Admiral Milne makes
the following report of the circumstances
attending the disappearance of the iron-clad
Captain:-'I was on board the Captain on
the morning of September 6. Everything
was in order. A sailing trial began in the
afternoon. The breeze was moderate and
the ships carried signals.
SAT p. M. the breeze freshened, and the
Captain was making from eleven to thirteen
knots. 1t was observed that the sea was
washing over her lee deck, her gunwales
sometimes being level with the water. l left
the Captain at $50 p. NJ, when she was
twenty miles off Finisterre. The evolutions
were resumed, and continued from to 10
P. NJ, the ships being at their designated
positions. A westward course was taken at
IL p. NJ; the wind freshened, the barometer
fell, and gale sprung up, and our sails were
reefed. The Captain was close astern of the
flagship, steaming steadily, and gaining on
us. / noticed at 1'l5 A. M. that she was six
points abaft osr beam, keeling over very
much. Her light a few minutes later was
still visible, after which thick foam shut
her out.
'At daylight ten ships Of the feet were
visible, but the Captain was missing. The

Herald. "A letter received here, dated Paris,
Sept. 9, evening, says:-The night session of
the Ministry lasted until A. M. A PROPOSE
tion was offered to call Constitutional Con-
vention so as to impart formal authority to
the Government. The ministers divided on
the question, five voting for the convention
and five against it. According to French
Parliamentary law tie vote decides the ques-
tion afirmatively. The members opposed to
the convention are Jules Simon, Gambetta,
Pelletan, Jules Ferry, and Rochefort. 1t is
believed the ministers will control the cleo
tiOns in their own favor. Having the army
machinery in their own hands, it will be ina
possible to obtain a fair election. The cleo
ton will be held on October 16 in the midst
of battles and the siege of Paris, if it holds
out so long.
The Democratic Socialists are meeting
nightly, and endeayoring to organize. They
are forming committees an Paris and through
out the county, their object being to obtain
power enough to carry out their extreme
views. The effect of these meetings is already
manifested by indications of a determination
on the part of the Ministry to place iron re-
strictions upon liberty of opinion. The secret
police are tracking these meetings, and some
of the parties who attend them have been
warned, under pretense of political intrigue,
that they are calculated to impair the national
defense. The attack on the Government,
which was published in the Marseilaise, was
written by General Cluseret, and created
much comment. Rochefort, who is eager to
retain his place, repudiates the article. The

The man would not leave the house without
