FIREBUGS AT SEA
Mutinous Sailors Try to Burn
 d Ship.
THE ARE BEHIND PRISON BARS
Given Hearing at Philadelphia and Re-
 manded for Further Examination.

Growing About the Food Furnished on
 the vessel-Ths Captain Hound Each
 Man Hand and Foot--A Torrent of Rain
 Saves the Vessel from BurninE-Ths
 Cargo Badly Damaged.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-There was placed in the steel cell in the United States Marshal's office here ten sailors whe had been taken from the American bark Jennie Hardness, which was dock cd at the foot of Bainbridge street after an exciting voyage from the Philip pine Islands.
 The Jennie Hardness halls from Cam den, Me. On her outward voyage she sailed from Boston to Melbourne, and was chartered on her return to bring a cargo of sugar from Manila Island to this port While at anchor in the har- bor of Manila she was discovered to be on fire, and when Capt. Amesbury, the master of the vessel, was aroused he found . sheet of flame passing out of the main hatch and leaping as high as the main yard, and the only thing that could be done was to plug up the scup- pers and let water in through holes in the sides of the ship. It was fortunate ly raining in torrents at the time, and this, together with the captains en- ergy, saved the ship. She had 1,116 tons of sugar in her lower hold which had not been put into bags. This is dam aged considerably.
 After the fire was extinguished an investigation showed that it had been started by saturating some old sugar mats with fish oil and setting fire to them between decks and on tho star board side amidships
 Captain Amesbury had noticed that some of his crew were inclined to be mutinous, and when the fire started he was satisfied that 1t was of incendi iary origin and that he knew the men who were responsible. He waited until the vessel was again under way. and then Ina them called into his cabin one by o e. As each man entered he was hound hand and foot. and when the last had been served in that manner all the prisoners were placed in the hold.
 At Cebu, another port in the Philip pine Islands, word was sent on that the men were prisoners. but that a warrant for only two was needed, the others having been allowed to return to work.
 The vessel arrived at the Delaware Breakwater yesterday, and Deputy nited States Marshals, Marshal and arrest of two men, took the tug Ken sington and steamed down the river, and whom she anchored of kaighn's s Point she was boarded and all the sus- pected men were taken into custody and brought to this city.
 They were arralgned yesterday be fore l nited States Com missioner Ed. munds. Captain Amesbury related the story of the fire as given above, and two sailor boys testified to having heard Holston growl about the food furnished them previous to the fire. Holston, they said, had also been heard to say at Manila that he would rather set the vessel on fire than sail in her. The prisoners were each held for q further hearing.

like the lowest bass note of pipo
organ with the tremulo stop. 1t can DO
heard from 100 to 500 feet distant. The
