 Hussars. 35 years of age and Ivan Wassi-

 priest, were all enveloped in the customary
 long white garment. From the neck of each
 prisoner was suspendeda large black placard i bearing the inscription Traitor to the State
 During the whole ride from the prison to the
 place of execution the three prisoners tried i their utmost to make their voices heard ] by the dense crowds which lined the way.
 The wagon was escorted by the 18th battalion i of chasseurs and by a hundred Cossacks. l In addition to this escort the wagon was ! guarded by five gems d'armes who rode by i it's side with drawn sabres. Asdrobraskin would not heed the reiterated command to cease addressing the people, but on the con- l trary shouted to them at the top of his voice. One of the gems d'armes struck him so severe blow on the head with the fiat of his sabre that it stunned him. Upon this one of his fellow prisoners cried out, ssDo not hew us down, unfortunate minion of the Ozsr;' but the gen d'arms, threaten ing him also with his sword, only answered by tho injunction, silence, hound.' Very fsts0S of execution was reached. The three con denned men were unbound from their seats in the wagon and led to the galiows. Their sentence being read, Malinka was deprived of his rank as 8 noblsman. After this ceremony had been completed, Ma linka was at once delivered over to the hang man. He, however, demanded permission to address the people, which was refused him by the commander of tho town, who inquired if he would not like to confer with priest. Malinka, after scornfully glancing at him, turned to the hangnan and said, Now, ser vile wretch, do your work Drabroskin was the next to be placed under the rope. When in this position priest approached him, but was repulsed with the words: tLet me alone, brother I don't want any of that humbug.' When the last prisoner, Maidanski, was placed in the executioner's hands he shouted out to the rabble, Get out of my sight; let me not set eyes upon you" At half past eleven o'clock all three were hanged. and at twelve o'clock the bodies were out down and cast into the graves which had been dug on the spot. The earth was thrown upon them and stamped down. Major General Kroh then gave the word of command, the troops marching of the ground with their band playing passed over the graves and trod down the earth yet tighter.
 Overdue Steamers A TSlMpestuous
 Passage.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Another of the over due steamships, the Oity of New York, ar rived yesterday after very stormy voyage, which caused considerable damage to the ves- sel and injured several of the crew. From the day after leaving Queenstown, December 26, she had tempestuous gales and violent head seas until arriving at the banks of New Foundland, when the weather moderated. During this time the passengers were not permitted on deck, and the heavy seas sweep ing the decks fora and aft carried large vol umes of water into the steerags quarters, making them very uncomfortable. Ths pas sengers say they could not complain, as ev- erything was done by the officers for their comfort. A heavy sea boarded the vessel on the night of December 2S, throwing two of the vessel. One of the sailors had his leg broken; another had his arm broken and shoulder dislocated, and the cook was also seriously injured. Next day heavy sea partly demolished the bridge, and tearing an anchor from the stoppers swept it from one deck to the other.
 The steamer Gillert, which was due on Tuesday last, is still to arrive, as is also the Arragon from Bristol, now ten days overdue. Several other vessels are due at this port, &C., cordiug to schedule.
 Americans MaItreased-Our Flag Torn
 DOxvsl and AbuSeds
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The schooner George T. Littleield arrived yesterday from Barcs- Iona, Venezuela, by way of St. Thomas with a cago Of cocoanuts. Captain Edward Oliver gave the following account of his escape from Barcelona with United States Consul Eckert and an American named MT. Ma phesyi, the latter leaving his family on the beach in his hurried flight. On November 18th, with cargo on board, the vessel cleared for Sea. The consul and Naphegyi came on board and told the captain that they were obliged to. take refuge with him from the authorities. They had been on board only Q few minutes when the custom house board arrived alongside with the au- thcrities, and 8 demand was made that all hands should go ashore. Tho captain armed with revolver and the crew with marlin spikes, belaying pins and boat hooks, stood ready in case of the attack which was ex- pected. The consul pointed to the Ameri- can flag and warned the Venezuelan author ities not to attempt to insult it. The boat then headed toward the shore and lowered It's flag, which was supposed to be signal for additional forces. The consul then or dered sail made and the cable slipped, and the vessel put to sea and ran to St. Thom- as, where the consul and Naphegyi were landed and new anchor, cable and SUD- plies obtained. The trouble with the Vene- zuelan authorities are in this way: Napheg- vi had been at Barcelona four years, during l which he had secured large tracts l ,f land. He had secured large tracts of land | valuable silver mines. He also held l -ich guano possessions, and had expended 1 S2O0, 900 in their Improvement. He also had l permission to import machinery and material l for his work free of duty. Until recently there | 1as been no complaint, however Guzman | Blanco one of the native residents, went to l Europe and sold to French fnancier the | tight to export all and every product | rom Venezuela. NaphegYi was then prohibit | ,n some of his goods. He lodged protests | with Consul Eckert at Laguayrs, who went to l Barcelona to effect settlement. A levy was | no ediately made upon Napheeyi, who | claimed the protection of the American flag, l which he had hung near his door. The flag | vas torn down and his house was ransacked. | Napheayi then attempted to leave the place by l steamer for Europe, but was stopped by a | yuard. He then with his family and consul | vent to the Presidents house for redress and | .ailing to get it determined to escape from the | own, as his life seemed in danger if he re- nained. Going to the wharf his family was | he consul, both of whom went to the scho on- 1T Littiefeld and escaped as narrated above.
