time the flames had spread with fearful
rapidly, and in the excitement many
jumped overheard, several of them jump
ing into the water before the steamer
struck the bottom. She was provided with
but two small boats, and, in the frenzy Of
the moment, one Of these boats was thrown
overheard and lost by the passengers, who
uncontrolled. were endeavOring to launch
her.
Captain Wood, of the ill-fated steamer,
and his assistants are said to have used
every effort to control the passengers, but
without avail, and but for this disobedience
of his orders many who were not would
vided with life preservers, but in the panic
it seems that none Of tbe passengers secured
them, and this fact also added to the
lamentablc loss Of life.
Over forty passengers were drowned,
among whom were Mrs. Reed and three
children, the wife and children Of Police
man Reed. of this city, and his niece, name
not yet ascertained; Adeline Jenkins,
chambermaid, and deckhand. name un-
known.
Up to the time that the express in which
the narrator of this statement left the
scene OF the wreck but five or six bodies
had been recovered, and the confusion was
so great that further list of the names Of
those lost could not be obtained.
Among the saved was Mr.. Weis, Of this
city, and John Wilkin Massey. Kenny
states that Captain Wood was the last man
to leave the steamer, and that the pilot,
Mr.. Boswell, was surrounded by the flames
before he left the pilot box. which was not
until after he had run the steamer aground.
The flames spread with such rapidlty that
the tlller ropes were on fire before the
vessel struck ground. All of those lost, it
Is supposed, were drowned, having jumped
overheard to escape the flames.
The fire was first discovered about twen-
, ty minutes before eleven o'clock, and Ken
ney states that in less than ten minutes the
vessel was enveloped in flames, and now
lies where she was run aground burned to
: the waters edge. Chattertons Point is Just
opposite Maryland Point, and the sur
vivOrs of the disaster have been made as
comfortable as possible at Stewards land
ing near that place, where they will remain
until about three o'clock this morning, at
which time the steamer Georgiana will take
them on board expecting to reach this city
about nine o'clock.
AbOu. half the passengers on the Wawas-
set were women and children, many of
whom were en- route to country places
along the Potomac to spend short time
pleasure seeking with their friends. There
were quite a number of cOlOred people
among the passengers. The Wawasset was
a mail sidewheel steamer of about $50 tons
burden. aud was engaged in running be-
tween Washington and the landings along
the Potomac. She was insured for SIS, 900.
When she left here this morning it was
supposed she was in perfect order and the
origin OF the fire is at present unknown.

Reported Decree Annullins Confiscatieu
of Property Of Cuban Insurgents.
HAVANA, August S.-The Diari0 de la Ma.
rina of to-day says kilograms have been re.
ceived announcing decree annuliing the
sequestration of the property of the Cuban
rebels; that it (the D,arioj will not pro-
nounce tho news false for fear of mislead-
ing the public, but it can not accent it
without official confirmation. The Diario
thinks it is impossible that the Spanish gov.
ernment DEGREES the immediate return of
their property to rebels and rebel sy mpa'
thizers.
1t says the rebels have used grea part
of their resources in buying vessels and
arms to carry on the war. A return of
their property will send out new expedi.
tons and prolong the struggle.
1t thinks such action would be an alb
surdity, and show want of reason and
patriotic sentiment on the part of the gov
eminent. The loyal people of Cuba ars
making heavy sacrifices to enable the gov
ernment to sustain the increasing expenses
OF the war, and it is great out rage to take
million or more out Of the treasury in this
wav.

MARKET! 4 MARKET! >

MARKET! 4 MARRRT!!-
One of the greatest present needs OF
Orangeburg is Town Market. Meat
and veh hetables are necessaries of life and
yet how difficult it often is it to get them
even when one has the money to pay
for them. There ought to be a public
market where the country people cou Id
expose their meats and produce for
sale daily. No greater convenience for
the towns people could bo imagined. Let
somebody take tho matter in hand at
once. We don't like to bore our readers
with constant suggestions Of what ought
to be done to advance the interests of our
Town, aud we don't belive that such
suggestions do bore them. But some
people will kick at evory proposition in.
'volying dollars outlay and il ISM pleas
ant to be considered oficious by any one.
Nevertheless, we are willing to be blamed
for asserting that Orangeburg needs,
and ought to have, Town market.
Who will keep the ball rolling
