Another Steamship Horror.
THE STEAMSHIP BIENVILLE
BURNED All SEA.
Thirty-fOur Persons Drowned.

HAVANA, Aug. 80, via Kew West, Aug. 81
Capt. Jefferson Maury arrived here this morn
ing from Nassau, N. p. He reports that the
steamship Bienville, which he commanded,
from New York for Aspinwall. was burned at
sea ON the 18th inst. Thirty-four of the pas
Sengers and crew are yet unaccounted for, al
though some may have been picked up by a
passing vessel. The Bienville left New York
ON the 10th of August for Aspnwall and when
in lat 25 II, lon. "a 10, at 345 A. NJ, on the
18th fire was discovered among the cargo.
Steam and water were Immediately turned on
by steampipes, which after few revolutions
broke down and could not be worked. Capt.
Maury then ordered the matches battened, hop
ing thereby to smother the fire, and at the same
time fire extinguisheIs were used between decks
and steam kept on. The fire gained, however,
rapidly and at o'clock the captain, fearing an
explosion from powder stored in the hold if
they remained in the ship any longer, ordered
the six boats launched and the passengers and
crew began to embark. AT half-past Capt.
Maury was forced to leave the ship, being the
last one on board One of the boats capsized
after leaving the ship and from seven to ten of
the inmates, including two women, were
drowned
The capsized boat was righted and baled out
and reached Cat Island in safety The other
boats, except ono, reached Eleuthera Island, a
distance OF $50 miles from the scene of the dis
aster The missing boat has not been heard
from, but it is supposed was picked up by
passing NeSS6i, DIS all CHlpIy UOdt WAS auIilI
near Eleuthera Island with life preserver in
it. One of the boats, in attempting to land at
Eieuthera Island, was capsized and nine were
drowned, including Mrs. Brander and her three
children. At 1.30 p. NJ. the B;envile exploded
and Immediately sunk. When the fire was
first discovered it was supposed to be in the
forehold, where large quantity of powder was
stored, but it proved to be between decks over
the boilers and among the cargo. The passen-
gers and crew lost all their baggage and saved
nothing except the clothes they had on. Capt.
Maury reports that the people of Nassau treat
ed the shipwrecked kindly and minstered to
their wants. Vice Consul Saunders has cared
for the seamen. Anna Brown, one of the res
cued, became insane and was left at Eleuthera
Island because she could not be found when the
party left Nassau The steamer Anna aud
schooner Dandy were despatched by the Amer
lean consul to search for the missing boat Out
of 127 passengers on board the Bienville thirty
four are unaccounted for, including nine lost at
Eleuthera. The bodies of six persons were re-
covered and buried at James Point. The
schooner William McGes took thirty-four of the
survivors on the Oath for Baltimore A sub
scription was started in Nassau for the aid of
the sufferers
Although twenty two embraces the names of
all those who were found dead, dispatch says
that it must be remembered that great many
were rescued in dying condition and that
scores have died and are dying from results
from exposure.

consisting of six mule wagons loaded with
army supplies for Fort Lyon, was proceeding
along Dry Creek, between Carson City and
Fort Lyon, under command of Steve Bryon,
wagon master, and while in Valley Creek the
train was mired in sand. While thus detained
band of 200 Arrapahoe warriors, under COM
mand of their CHI lief Little Raven, made an at
tack which equals in outrage and ferocity any
thing in the annals of Indian massacre The
wagons were burned, and all their contents
that couldlbe were carried off Fifteen men be-
longing to the train were left wounded and
dead on the bloody field. Bryan was skinned
alive from head to foot by the savages. Be-
sides these victims Is more men are missing.
They are supposed to have been carried into
captivity.
The train was under escort of It, Mcfarland
OF the 9th U. S. cavalry with 100 men, but be-
ing nine miles in the rear at the time of the
massacre, no protection could be afforded.
Stanley was with the escort and when it
reached the scene of slaughter the savages
were just retiring over hill beyond, whrling
their tomahawks and shouting in mad glee over
their fiendish work.
