It is really pity to see such q pretty opera

such graceful music mangled, as was DELHI

most without exception, the singing, Ii
squeaklng out OF tune may be SO called, was
deplorable. It was almost as excruciating in
another line as the Jimmy paragraphing OF
the Times. AS we writhed under the infilc-
tton yesterday evening, a dream passed be-

that Is too beautiful for realization Re-

these facts together, we thought that perhaps

Arrival Of the Louise H. with the
Survivors Of the Disaster.
The English steamship Louise I'll. arrived

day morning. and brought to the city the
seventeen survivors Of the crew of the ILL
fated Spanish steamer Nuavo Paiara del

fire appeared In the DEMOCRAT yesterday
morning.
A statement Of one OF the rescued men con-
tanned no facts OF the disaster other than
those which appeared In the DEMOCRATS ac-
count, but 1t embodied a graphic description
Of the scene OF terror, and the insane fright
OF the passengers and crew when the vessel
was discovered to be In flames, With the ex-
ception OF the five persons who got into the
only boat launched the entire number of
those on board seized whatever was In reach
and would float and jumped overheard, soon
to sink Immediately, and others TO struggle
for hours, and then finally go down. The
seventeen saved we're picked up in the water
by the crew OF the boat launched from the
Louise FL. BY referring to our dispatches
from Cuba it will be seen that ten Of the crew
and two passengers have arrived ut Caiba-
raHu.
The Nuevo Pajara del Oceano was q woodas1

munitlon and provisions. She burned to the

or INTEREST TO RIFLEMEN.
A Proposed Consolidation Of the New
Orleans and Crescent City
Rifle Clubs,

There Is q movement on foot looking to the
consolidation Of the New Orleans and Cres-
cent City rifle clubs into one organization.
The matter Is being pushed with considera-
BILE viEor and energy by members Of both or
CARNATIONS, and the prospects Of their desired
object being achieved are good.
The movement Is one which should receive
the encouragement OF all laws Of rifle shoot
Ing, In the city and Of all persons who desire
to see New Orleans maintain the record which
she has gained. Both organizations include
among their members riflemen whose per-
formanees have made them famous. and 1t is
only necessary for the two clubs to come to-
Rether and form one body to admit Of the or
Ranization of team which would take for
ward place In any contest.
The result Of the efforts OF the gentlemen
who have initiated the movement will be
awaited with considerable Interest.

THn HraHBuRY CASE.
Conflicting Statements of the British
Consul and Of the Agent OF

i the Vessel.
IN q conversation yesterday with q reporter
OF the DEMouRAT, Mr.. j. A. De Fonblanque,
British consul, made the following statement
| In reference to the bill Of Mr. John p. South
worth for services as attorney. which led to
the attempt on the part OF two constables oil
the Third Justice Court to seize tue British
steamship HiRhbury, which attempt ended
In their being carried to the Balze.
Mr.. Do Fonblanque said that Mr.. French,
agent Of the Hlghbury. In company with the
captain Of the vessel, called upon him for the
purpose OF getting his advice on certain
matter connected with the ship. He advised
Mr. French and the captain that an attempt
was being made to bluff them,' and recon-
mended the employment OF a lawyer. Mr.
| French said that his regular attorney was
absent from the city, and requested him (Mr
De Fonbanaue) to recommend another. He
recommended Mr.. Southworth, who is tenn
polarily located In his office
/ Mr.. French and the captain left, but the
nextday the former gentleman met Mr. South.
worth on the street and formally engaged
him In the case
Mr.. French and the captain again called at
Mr.. De Fontblanque's Office and Mr.. French
| informed MIR. De Tonblanuue that he had en-
gagged Mr.. southworth.
| Mr.. Southworth took charge of the case
and managed 1t until he accidentally learned
that Mr.. French had engaged another law
yer, and he then demanded to know his
status. Receiving no satisfaction he gave Mr.
| French until Monday last to arrange mat
ters, at the same time requesting payment
| for services rendered IL he was To be no
| longer retained. -
On Monday MI. French again visited Mr..
Fonblanques office and declared that he
would not pay anything to Mr.. Southworth,
| said he had not engaged him and threatened
to cable to the Queen that he had been
| charged for advice secured In the British
| Consul's office.
| Mr.. Southworth volunteered to leave the
amount OF the fee to Mr.. French. and that
would pay nothing. Mr.. Sputhworth then
fixed bis fee at 800. and notified Mr.. French
| that II 1t was not paid he would sue for it. and
the proceedings as published In the DEMO
dRAT yesterday morning followed.
The above liz the substance OF the statement
Of Mr.. DO Fon blanque. On the other hand
Mr.. French declares that Mr.. 6outhworth
charged for unsolicited advice. that he never
was engaged, and hs claims that In the first
place that 1t is against the rules OF the "civil
service" for the consul to have o lawyer In
his office, and In the second place that 1t Is
with the consul In his office without South
worth taking part In the conversation, and
for the part he plays he does not hesitate to
make charge for legal services.
As to further proceedings In the case, Mr..
Southworth proposes to sue out an alias writ
the Highbury belongs. and the two eonstables
who we're carried to the Balize have expressed
an intention Of instituting suit for damages
against the company owning the vessel.
