A Captain iAlrdered at Sea.

The ship Buckingham OF Dundee
arrived at New Yorl, on the sth in charge
Of the first mate. Tho captain, young
Scotchman whose wife sailed with him.
was murdered on the voyage by Lascar,
who was &C ok.
1t was the first mates watch on deck on
the morning OF October II. The starDoard
watch did not come on deck, and he went
forward to find out why. They stated
that Bhagwan Dhas, the cook, had no
breakfast ready for them. Tho COOK
could get no coal or water The mate or
dered sh.m to get coal from the donkey
house. AS tho fresh water pumps hau
been shipped the mate told the Lascar
that no could help himself TO water he
went about his work reluctantly. Just be-
fore noon he refused point blank to work
any more. The captain took him into tho
officers mess room, presumably with the
intention of reading him lecture on dis
cipline. No one saw what happened.
Steward Christie came to the mate at noon
and exclaimed: MY God, sir, go into tho
officers room"
The mate found there his COM
mander kneeling stond dead, with his face
downward resting against the sido Of the
room. His hair was matted and his neck
and face were streaming with blood. Tho
mate looked ut the Lascar moment and
said: ''Did you do that!' The Lascar
nodded his head and answered US he point
cd at the body: "Ycs, sir; killed him."
The words had hardly left his lips whe
the mate was upon him. The mate is mu,
cular and big and tho Lascar was of his
feet in u iiify. The steward and some OF
Abe sailors helped to hold the mutineer.
The Lnscar was heavily ironed and put in
IN iron deck house.
The mate found that tho captain had
been stabbed four times, once through the
right eye, once in the temple and twice in
the back OF the head. Every stab had
penetrated the BRAIN. The Lascar prob
ably knitted the captain first from behind
while following him into tho messroom.
The body was sowcd upin canvas and
buried ut sea. The murderer was turned
over TO the British consul for trial.

AN INDIAN FIGHT.
Sitting Bull Captured and Afterwards
Killed.

On the evening OF the 10Th General
Miles received dispatches stating that In u
fight near Standing Rock agency this
morning Sitting bull and number Of
Indian police had been killed.
Tho police were sent out to Sitting Bulls
camp to arrest the chief, as 1t was report
ed that he had struck his tepees and was
going to Join tho hostiles who have been
doing damage along the White River.
| Their ponies were painted and many OF
the savages had stripped themselves for
war.
The police made dash Into camp aud
arrested Sitting Bull. They were on their
way back to Standing Rock when tho
famous chiefs son urged his comrades to
recapture the old man. Women and
children were hid in the bushes and then,
with yells, the hostics charged upon the
police.
A hand-to hand struggle ensued, during
which Sitting Bull, who was not armed
gave his orders in u loud voice For sew
eral minutes the fight was heavy and
deadly. q Nearly every man who was hit
was killed. In the furious fusilade Sitting
Bull fell out of his saddle, but 1t is not
known whether tho bullet was fired by the
charging party Or BY one OF the police,
The police were surrounded for some time
and maintained their stand until relieved
by the United States troops.
The soldiers were quick to enter into
action. A skirmish line was thrown out,
and then kneeling and firing as they ad-
vanced, the troops, with the machine guns
playing over their heads, poured u wftiier-
ing fire into the savages.
Sitting Bull, his son, Crow Foot, Catch
Bear and four others were killed, also
seven Indian police.
Sitting Bulls body, which was aban-
doncd by the police, was recaptureI, us
to Standing Rock. After the fight was
over the followers OF the dead chief struck
out ut killing pace FOR the bad lands. 1t
is thought that they gill be intercepted by
troops.
General Miles says that Sitting Bull had
been dispatching couriers to all the tubes
even those in Canada-instructing them
- secure al! tho Umunitiou possible, to
prepare TO go - the warpath in the spring
When he found that preparations were
being made by the army to break up this
scheme 1t was believed Tat he intended
to begin fighting very soon and his arrcs,
was ordered.
