TERRIBLE AFFAIR-500 COOLIES BURNED To
DEATH.
SAN Francisco, June 13.-The burning of
the coole ship Don Juan, before reported as
Dolores Ugarte, which left Macao May f. for
Peru, with $50 coolies on board, is confirmed
from two sources. The ship was burnt to the
waters edge, within fifty miles of Hong Kong,
two days after leaving Macao Some of the
coolies say the fire originated aft in the lazarette
where the stores and ships material were kept.
Bnt thirty-five of the crew have reached Macao,
and all say that the coolies mutinied and set fire
to the ship aft in the hope OF forcing all for
ward, and so obtain possession of the ship. In
the scramble for the boats the Europeans used
reyolvers to prevent the coolies getting in, and
one of the crew was wounded in the leg, while
many of the coolies were drowned. 1t is re-
ported that $50 coolies were fastened under the
matches, 800 of whom were roasted alive, the
others escaping when the matches were burned
OFF. While the men were on deck and on the
bowsprit, one of the masts fortunately gave
way, and the men at once made such efforts as
they could to reach it, and having got to it they
chung on with desperation, calling out as loud
as they could to save life. They had not been
long in the water before fishing junk came up,
and they were taken off, two or three at time,
in q small sampan. The coolies state that there
were fifty Europeans on the vessel.
Plus NINTH PROTESTS.
New YORK, June 13.-Pius k, in his last
encyclica letter on the Papal guarantees, dated
Rome, May 18th, says: eve consider it part
of our apostolic duty that we should declare
Solemnly through you TO the whole world that
not only what are called safeguards, and which
are devised by the sub-Alpine government, but
that all titles, honors, immunities and priv
ilegeS, whatever shape they take under the
general name of safeguards or guarantees, can
be of no avail whatever toward securing
prompt and free use of the power diviney
transmitted to US, nor toward guarding the
liberty necessary for the church. Such being
the condition of affairs, as we have repeatedly
declared and protested, that without the crime
of breaking our solemn oath at the enthroneiza-
ton we can consent to no Cancellation
which in any manner would destroy or dimin-
ish the right of good and of the apostolic
see, So now, as of our bounden duty, we
declare that we will never agree to non-accept
nor can we so agree to or accept those cunning.
