Particulars Of the Loss of the National Line

' LONDON, July 24.-The British steamer
Manhattan, from New York, for Hull,
which has on board the crew and cattlemen
from the steamer Egypt, before reported
abandoned on fire at sea, passed St. Cath
crimes Point this morning. She signaled
that she would land the people from the
Egypt at Dover. The following particulars
Of the destruction of the Egypt have been
learned: The Manhattan sighted the Egypt
all ablaze in 40' IS north, $50 west, but
being laden with oil, dared not go near the
burning vessel. She lowered her boats,
however, and saved all on board. Captain
Robinson of the Manhattan had only enough
provisions for forty persons, and a dis
cussiun was had as to whether or not to
make the Azores, $50 miles distant Finally
il was decided to proceed for Dover. Every
one was placed on short ratOns. There
were Go head of cattle on the Egypt, and
all were either burned TO death, or break
ing loose plunged overheard and were
drowned. For time there was much con-
fusion on the Egypt, but no panic occurred.
The National Company chartered tug al
Dover to meet the Manhattan and supply
her with provisions. She started at 6
o'clock this evening with full supply of
provisions aud other neceSsarleS for the
rescued people.
The crew Of the Egypt were landed at
Dover to-day by the steamer Manhattan.
They first made their escape from the
burning vessel to the German ship Gustave
and Oscar, but were afterward taken off By
the Manhattan. Captain Sumner of the
Egypt and several of his crew were pain
fully burned while fighting the fire. Several
of the Egypt's crew declared that the
steamer lacked two of her proper compile

vessel were suffocated, ,Iwhile others, having
been burned, rushed overheard, roaring

GENERAL KAUTZ'S ARREST.
Trouble Between Officers in The Depart
meIt Of the Platte.

OMAHA, July 24-For a long time there
has been considerable discomfort and fric-
ton throughout the Military Department Of
the Platte evidently brought about by the
management at headquarters, and which
seems not to spring from Equality expected
to be found in an army officer. There is,
no doubt, sound reason for more or less
dissatisfaction, but just what induces it no
one seems willing to say. The last un-
pleasant feature strikes higher than usual
and is likely to give more trouble than per-
haps was anticipated and result IN eonsid-
cradle gossip.
1t seems tie Department Commander in
yited some information from General KautZ
relating to his post. The information was
given, and returned to General kautz with
an Endorsement TO the effect that he had
made statements not in accordance with
the facts, Whereupon the latter asked
for a redress Of his grievance, and by reply
was placed under arrest, thus shutting OFF
all avenues Tor further application for cor
rection. 1t is said that General KautZ had
filed charges against General Brooke for
conduct unbecomiug an officer and gentle
man, which had been forwarded to the War
Department. This will no doubt induce
charges against General kautZ, il ii has not
already been done, and il is not very improb-
able that one of the largest military courts
known to the army will be the outcome
and that one of the officers mentioned will
be relieved from duty in the department. 1t
is clear that General Brooke has been made
the instrument by which the most pIOmi-
nent candidate General Kautz) for the next
vacancy Of Brigader- General may be placed
out OF the way Of a few very ambitious
men. General kautZ was one of the most
gallant soldiers of the war, and this at

and long-deferred promotion is severely

preparations.
WASHINGTON, July "a. - Morgan this
morning introduced bill to fix the limit of
value and provide for the free coinage of
silver. Referred to the Committee on FL
nance.
The bill recites that the market value of
silver bullion is rapidly approaching the
value of gold on the standard relation fixed
by the laws of the United States; that
there are no provisions of law for the COIN
age of standard silver dollars or the pur-
chase Of silver bullion by the Government
when the value of silver bullion exceeds 81
for 37l.25 grains of pure silver. 1t there
fore provides the unit of value in the
United States sha II be 81 of 1925 grains
standard silver or 25.S grains of gold; that
those coins shall be legal tender for all
debts, public and private and that any
owner OF silver or gold bullion may deposit
1t at any mint to be formed into dollars or
bars for his benefit without charge.
Senator Morgan called the special atten-
tion OF the Finance Committee to the bill,
which, he said, was the same as had already
received majority OF seventeen in the SEN
ate. lie had introduced it because he was
convinced that, in the rapid advance of the
price of silver bullion In the markets Of the
world the time was not far distant, to say
the least, when silver and gold bullion
would be on a par with each other. VIII en-

He blamed the Government, however, Tor

said it was difficult to comment on
the omission without embarrassing
the Government, which lie did
not desire to do. 1t was to be regretted
that in one person were combined the offices
of Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary,
as the duties Of the two exceeded the possi-
bilities of any human brain. unless it pos
sessed the powers Of Napoleon or Crom-
well. He could not vote against the bill ON
that principle, because the Queen could give
Germany Heligoland, but he was not dis
posed to make precedent on a subject Of
the most profound and practical Importance
in the constitution. Therefore he declined
