LEGITIMEs WAR SHIP SUNK.
A Haytian Town Destroyed.

NNw YORK, March l3.-Tbe steamer
William CoulmaD arrived to-day from
Gonaives and reports that on the 231 of
February the war ship Dessalines, of
Legitimes forces, arrived OF the fort and
opened fire on both forts at the entrance
OF the port. The canonade continued
for hours but no particular damage was
done. One of the forts returned the fire
and in short time the Dessalines put
TO sea. The supposition is that three
we'll directed shots from the fort struck
the moving steamer. The general be.
lief is that the Dessalines was sunk with
all on board.
On the evening Of the 9th great fire
was seen from the tower to the south
ward which turned out to be Grandes-
tiness in flames. The fire was started by
the southern people who at once aban-
doned the place. 1t appears that the
southern army alter getting possession
OF Grapdestiness treated the people very
badly, particularly women and children.

The Minnesota Steel Combination Apt to
Ruin Small Miners.
CHICAGO, March 16 One of the Iarg-
est holders and dealers in mining and
railroad stock in the northwest, who
says he has heen acquainted with the
preliminary details of the proposed
steel mill combination, was seen by a
local reporter this evening. With the
stipulation that his name should not be
used he made some statements that go
to show whether the association may
not properly be called t.ust. 1t is a
combination that may mean death to
small mine owners in the northwest.
He said that quite recently the Mime
sofa Iron Co., and the Duluth Iron r.
r. were sold TO large syndicate headed
by II. II. Porter of Chicago. This entire
property is now controlled and managed
by this syndicate, of which Porter is the
leading spirit. The Minnesota COM
pany was last year the largest shipper
and producer of iron IN the Lake Su-
perior region. The point to all this, he
said, is that the principal consumers of
iron ore IN the west have now combined
under me management in the steel com
biuation. Where there have been con
hIcting interests heretofore, they are
now harmonized, and the Minnesota
company has certain market for its
products. The supply can be adjusted
to paying bonds OF new associations.
The outlook for small miners is not at
all bright and a new combination may
drive many of them to the wall.

NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY.
THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE LOSS
OF THE PORT GORDON.

Pending an order of naval court
| held at the British vice-coDsulate at Port
Townsend yesterday to investigate into
the loss Ot tine Port Gordon and to in
quire into the conduct of.the master and
certificated first mate, second mate and
crew of said vessel. The Port Gordon
was sailing vessel, barQue rigged, of
l099 tons registered tonnage, official
number 6732, built at Port Glasgow and
belonged to the Port of Glasgow.
1t appears from the evidence given be-
fore this court that she sailed from An
drossan on or about the 23d day of Oc-
tober, bound for Puget Sound with a
cargo of general merchandise and
crew OF % hands ali told and as pass
engers.
The court, having regard to the Cir
cumstances as above stated, finds as
follows;
That the master, William Glib, ap-
pears to have navigated his vessel in
seamanlike, careful and proper manner,
the lead having been frequently used
and the tenor of the compass taken at
every opportunity and a good lookout
kept, and that we attribute the loss of
the vessel to an unusually strong cur
rent setting to the souEhward with q
probable error of the chronometer max
ing her further west than she really was
and that no blame or negligence can be
attributed to the master, officers or crew,
and the court Recommend the board of
trade of London to grant to William
Gibb. master, aud Edward Smith, first
mate, duplicate of their certificates, the
originals having been lost with the vee.
sci /; aud that great praise is due in the
manner in which they stood by the ship
and saved the crew.

The Brothers OF ~ John.


In the eleventh century Palestine was
tbe scene of unwonted animation the
Crusades were commencing, and in the
spring of 1896 5000, 900 persons were
said to be in movement toward Pales-
tine. This must, however, be a mon
strous eIaggeration. Crusade madn rs
seized upon many who seemed little
likely To fall victims to it, and rich and
poor. young and old, feeble and strong,
men and women. left their homes TO wend
their painful and sorrowful way to the
Holy Land, to press the soil once trodden
by their Sayiours feet. and to rest their
eyes on the scenes amid which he lived
and died. The most distant islands
ami savage countries, says William Of
MAimesburg, "were inspired With this
ardent passion. The WelshmRn left his
hunting, the ScOtchman his fellowship
with yermin, the Dane his drinking par
ty, and the Norwegian his raw fish. "
filgrimages to tho Holy Land had been
in great favor from an early time in the
history of the Christian Church, and il
had always been reckOned peculiar
mark of piety TO leave home and
Journey TO Jerusalem. The Cru
saders were only plgrimages bet
ter organized and on larger
scale. and instead OF few struggling
thousands comprised vast multiudes.
Need / add that the condition of the
pilgrims was often deplorable, and
many, after surviving the perils of sea
and land, and when almost in sight OF
the Holy Sepulchre, we're cut off by rob
bers or died OF wounds or diseases ? At
Jerusalem there were then living ssmo
Italian merchants of AmalH, who daily
witnessed scenes that wrnng their
hearts, and, with the consent Of
the Caliph of Egypt, they built hos
pital for the reception and relief OF pill
grima This nursing community was at
first known as the Hospitaller BROTHERS
of st. John the Baptist, Of Jerusalem,
though some authorities contend that it
was originally dedicated to ST. John the
Almoner. Before long, however, 1t was
placed under the protection OF St John
the Baptist, and it bears his name to this
day. The nursing community threw it
self into its work with imprisoned zeal,
knowing no WEAKNESS and recognizing
no distinction of race or creed the only
passport to ifs help was to need it. and
it has been in that catholic spirit that
the work has been ever since carried on

man." The fame of the order Rpidly
spread, rich gifts poured in upon it.
