CAUGHT In A HURRICANE.
Twelve of the Crew Of the ChaI-
lenger Drowned.

u W
1enger Drowned.
New YORK, Sept. 15.-Capt. Collier,
of the steamship Normandie, which
landed her passengers to-day, reports
that yesterday about 2:3O p. m, when
$50 miles east of Sandy Hook, he sighted
the three-masted American ship Chal-
lenger. bound from West Hartlepool to
this port. Danger signals were stream
ing from every available point on the
Challenger'S boards. She was dis
masted and her sails torn to ribbons.
The captain of the Normandie, despite
a terrific gale that was still blowing,
sent boat and crew to the assistance of
the challenger. Their frail craft was
tossed up and down like cookie shell
in the trough of the sea, and the return
journey was equally dangerous. Their
Thompson, of the Challenger, had re-
ported that during a terrific hurri-
cane on Sept. l, twelve of his crew
had been washed overheard, and that
the majority of the remainder were
too ill to work the ship. In addition to
the twelve men killed, four of the crew
had their arms and legs broken, leav-
ing but four men to work the ship. The
Challenger was in terribly crippled
and dismantled condition. Her miZZen
mast, fore and main top and top gallant
mast, bowSprit, head gear and standing
rigging were gone, and she was making
about three knots per hour under her
foresail and high-reefed main sail. Of
fcer Marshall offered medical assist
ance and food, but the captain of the
Challenger declined, saying that all
he wanted was for the Normandie to
take letter to the ships owners and
mail the same upon their arrival in this
city. Speaking of the affair this morn
ing, Third Officer Marshall, of the Nor
mandie, said:
1.-THE vessel was in horrible shape,
and her dismantled condition attracted
my attention, being on the bridge at the
time. When l went to her in the relief
boat, the captain, after telling me his
mishap, declined all aid. l offered him
every assistance, even to tow him into
port, but he declined"
The Challenger was a first-class
American three-master, 1,5O0 tons bur-
den, and owned by Arthur Sewall &
Co., of Bath, Me. She had taken car
go of general merchandise from Port
land, Or. to West Hartlepool. England,
and was on her way home in ballast, to
receive cargo here for Portland, Or.
The Challenger carried about twenty
two men, crew, officers and cooks. She
is valued at S65,000, and a tug will go
out to look for her to-day. She was
sighted about $50 miles out at sea, and

BOULANGER IN A BROIL.
The French General Charged
With Treason.

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The Figaro con-
tinues to publish Boulanger revelations.
The latest are to the effect that Boulan-
ger was bound in honor to overthrow
the republic, but that the parties dis
agreed as to who should be placed In
power. Dillon told the trustees of the
d'Uzes fund that he would be the first
to shoot Boulanger if he broke his word.
The COmte de Paris organ. Correspond
ence Rationale, admits that the Royal
lists subsidized the Boulangists. Bou-
langer's organ, Voix du Peuple, re-
feIring to the assertion of the
Duchess d'UZes that she had a let
ter compromising Boulanger and royal
ism. hints that Boulanger has letters
proving that the duchess threw away
her money because she loved him. In
an interview published in the Steele,
Boulanger denies that he bargained to
upset the republic; declares that he
never handled the money, which was
Dillon's affair, and says that he has been
deceived and made use of by everybody.
1t is stated that the Duchess d'Uzes is
writing a novel based upon these in
trigues. Cardinal Rampolla, the papal
secretary of state, has instructed the
papal nuncio here to assure the French
government that there never were. any
negotiations between the Vatican and
BOulanger or his agents.
