Plymouth, Eng, May l2.-The Hamburg Amer
scan lime steam@ Ruga, Captain KarlOwa,
from Eew-York May for Hamburg. which ar
rived here at 2 p m to-day, reports that the cot
ton in her afoer-hold was spontaneously ignited
on tho night Of May s. The fire burned fercely,
ing which everything had been got in readiness
10 abandon the steamer thirty
burning cotton bales were jettisoned.
Great fright prevailed among the passengers,
who remained on deck for forty-eight hours.
Through the efforts TO quench the fire the cabins
were flooded and twO-tbirds Of the passengers
luggage was spoiled. Much praise is given the
captain and crew for their excrtions. Two Of the
crew were injured. 1t is feared that the steam
er's cargo is greatly damaged.
After the fire had gained considerable headway
some Of those board made preparations TO desert
the Ship but were prevented from doing SO by the
captain, who threatened them with a revolver.
When the iron bulkhead doors were opened the heat
became so intense that many persons were
scorehed and the cotton bales around the passen;
gers luggage took fire. Casks OF lard, which
formed part of the vessels cargo, also furnished
fuel for the flames.
Hope had been well-nigh abandoned and boats
had been lowered TO leave the threatened steamer.
when IL occurred to the captain 70 try steam In
stead Of water against the fire. This plan was put
in execution and proved successful The passen-
aud the crew with various gifts as evidences of
gratitude and esteem for their heroic work in the
midst Of the awful dangers that encompassed them
