The Burning of the Steamship Mis-.


A DISMAL STORY OF BAD MANAGEMENT, SUP
FERIEG AND DEATH.
The telegraph brings further particulars OF
the burning OF the Havana steamer Missouri,
by which eighty lives were lost. The boat which
was rescued left boat containing nine men
the place where the vessel was burned.
The boat was swsmped, and they were making
an effort 10 bail il out. 1t is scarcely possible
hat they lave been saved. As she boat rOwed
away the passengers left on board were seen
crONding TO the after part of the vessel. They
certainly persisted. In the rescued boat, with
the exception OF few pieces OF sugar cane,
there was neither food nor water. They were
afoat on the open sea for thirty hours when they
were picked up by the schooner Spy and landed
at HOpetOwn, Elbow Key. ON the next day a
schooner was sent 10 the locality in which the
steamer " as but returned, having found nothing.
As usual in such disasters, the appliances both
Tor putting out the ire and for saving the pas
sengers and crew were entirely Inadequate The
donkey pumps did not work and the hand
pumps performed but Indifferent service. Only
three boats could be launched, two of which
were swamped. The survivors tell dismal story.
The alarm was given while the passengers were
at breakfast; but, on receiving the stewards
report that the fire was extinguished, breakfast
luieted. Within two minutes, however. several
voices screamed " fire 80 from the stoke-hole,
All was then confusion. The ships heading was
never altered, and consequently the flames were
carried sthwartships, burning up one lfe-bOat
on one side, and making ii too hot to get the
others Of. Seven women and seven children
were aboard the Missouri, none OF whom got into
the boats. When last seen, Captain Green was
working with Purser Hampstead and some OF
the crew, trying TO get of the lee boat sur
rounded by smoke and flames. Eleven of
the survivors say the boat was ne yer launched,
but the twelfth, Captain Cullmer, says il was
sWamDed.

New Public Buildings in Philadelphia
Redemption of Lands Sold Under Di-

Southern Service.
WASHINGTON, june 5.--Sen0te-The bill
purchasing the site of and erecting public
buildings in Philadelphia passed.
HOuse-The amendments to the bill for
the redemption of lands sold under the di-
rect tax bill passed. The bill granting the
right of way to the New Mexico and Gulf
railroad passed. No definite action was
taken on the sundry appropriation bill.
The opposition to paying Southern service
argues that its payment would be entering
a wedge to pensiOning Southerners, and
paying Southern war debt.
