Epitacia Paroles arrived in Tombstone
to-day from Sonora. He reports an en-
gagement in the Sierra Madre the first
part of the week between Gen. Torris
and renegade Indians, resulting in the
killing of twenty-seven bucks and the
capture of thirty-six others. The same
news reached here later by letter from
j. b. Farrell, who, however, credits the

Steamer Burned.

VICTORIA, British Columbia, May 8.
On Sunday night at 10 o'clock the
steamer Grappler, plying between Puget
Sound and Alaska, was burned four
miles off the Seymour Narrows The
fire was discovered by the engineer,
who Immediately reported to the cap
tam. There were 100 passengers on
board, principally Cinnamon, and all in
bed. A search was at once instituted
by the captain, who discovered the fire
back of the boiler connections. The
engineer started the donkey-engine and
connected the hose, and the passengers
were warned of their danger. The ex-
citement was intense, and the Cinnamon
behaved like maniacs. They were ut
terly uncomfortable, and seriously I'M
peded the action of the officers. The
captain ordered all of them shot who
refused to obey orders, but notwith-
standing this the Cinnamon rushed
backward and forward on the vessel I'M
til it was necessary to knock some of
them down into the hold, and iron 9TH
ers.
All the time the fire was gaining, and
all efforts to extinguish it proved una
vailing. The captain then ordered
Pilot Franklin to head the steamer for
the Vancouver shore, and beach her.
As soon as the sands were struck and
the boats lowered, the excitement be-
came more terrible than ever The
Cinnamon jumped into the boats and
swamped them, and, owing to the dense
smoke, those who could swim did not
know in what direction to strike out,
and, surrounded by mass of strug-
Cling Cinnamon, were drowned.
The number of the lost, mainly Chi
namen, is placed at between sixty and
seventy.

Desperate COnyicts.

MONTREAL, May "a desperate at
tack was made by five convicts in the ST.
Paul penitentiary to escape on Wednes-
day night. After getting out of their
cells they gagged the keepers, and the
leader of the gang, Leblanc. took re-
volver belonging to the guard. In a
few moments two guards came upon
their rounds, and were set upon by the
convicts, Leblanc presenting the re-
volver at the head of one of the keep
ers and calling upon him TO surrender.
The other guard had an iron paddock in
his hand weighing seven pounds, and
with it struck Leblanc, fracturing his
skail. His life is despaired of. This
ended mate and the other convicis
surrendered and were locked up. L.
Blanc made his escape about a year
ago, but was recaptured.

workmen desire another conference
they will have to make the request, and
another committe will be appointed.
