SAVED IN TIME.
Heroic Crew Prevents a Steam.
er Catastrophe.
The City of Bridgeport on Fire
at Sea,

Wild Excitement Among the Passengers
fused to Obey the Officers of the Boat
The Pumps Check the Flames, and
Thus Save Many Lives.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 29.-The
steamer City of Bridgeport left New
York Saturday afternoon as usual
When the boat reached point off Nor
walk, passengers observed flames burst
ing from the floor of the womens cabin
In second the widest excitement pre-
vailed. The passengers, mostly women
and children returning from a shopping
tour in New York, were panic-stricken.
There was rush for life-preservers
and women tainted. Many of the men
on board lost their presence of mind and
thought Of themselves, some securing
three hfe-preservers, while helpless
women and children had none. The
officers on tho boat were unsuccessful in
their efforts to restrain the passengers.
The crew was ordered to tine pumps
but the latter could not be manned for
several minutes. In the meantime {.
flames, which started at the bottom of
the smokes,ack, gained considerable
headway. The captain ordered the pilot
to head for the Connecticut shore, and
to keep within three minutes run of
land, and the engineer to proceed at full
steam.
The crew worked at she pumps for
half an hour and succeeded in extin-
gushing the the flames. The passen-
gers could not be prevailed upon to rc-
move the life preseIvers fastened about
their bodies until the boat reached her
wharf in this city, when the flames
again burst olt anew, but for the sec
ond time were eXtinguished. As quick
ly as possible the passengers were
landed
Many of the women had to be trans
ferred in carriages to their homes, suf-
fering with ysteria. Even the male
passengers saj they thought their last
hours had come. They had started to
cut loose the life boats, The heroic work
of the crew alone saved the boat from
destruction and the passengers from the
horrible death.
The pipe about the smokestack had
fallen from its place, and the overheated
chimney ignted the woodwork, which
was famed .ltO a blaze. The damage
to the steamer will not exceed 81 900.
The officials Of the company are reticent
about the accident

Startling Statement of the
Gillian Situation.
The New York Herald Says
a War With Chill is Certain.

Minister Montt Gables His Government
That the United States is Ready to
Fight, and That an Apology from Chill
is Not Looked For--War Preparations
stin Going on in Washington.
New YORK, Dec. 29.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Herald telegraphs that paper as follows;
have obtained the most valuable in.
formation that has yet been made public
regarding the Chilian affair.
There is no question that the admins
tation fully expects refusal Of Chill to
comply with the demand for an apology
and indemnity and is ready to ask CON
gress to declare war, for which prepara-
tions have been and are still being made.
Chill feeling that she is in the right is
determined not to apologize, even at the
cannon's mouth. Such is the situation
upon the diplomatic chess board.
Chill has not yet asked for arbitration,
but it is known to the cabinet and to
your correspondent that she is likely to
do so.
Minister Montt, the Chilian minister
here, has all along seriously doubted the
intention of this government to declare
war in event of Chilis refusal to accede
to our demands.
Monday, however he realized his
mistake, and the result was that he
ca bled to President Montt that the stu
alton here was very serious: that this
government meant fight, and that the
navy was rapidly being placed on a war
footing.
This in itself is startling news, and
here is more of the same sort.
Not only has the navy been made
available in event of hostilities, but
great activity has taken place in the
army, and both departments are now
ready to act it concert at moments
notice.
have it that Admiral Gerhard will
be placed in command of the naval
forces. 1t is also pretty definitely settled
that General Miles will have command
Of the land force.
The plans have already been made to
promptly move 10000 troops The men
have been selected, the transports pro-
vided and all is ready to place this force
on Chilian soil soon after war is formal
ly declared.
1t is proposed to take these troops
IIOlIi lllC ICSS tlltlI SOL NlCt' L llC NtbICl IL
forts which they will leave will be gar
risoned by militia and volunteer front
iersmen.
New York and other large cities
where troops are not needed will also be
drawn on. These troops, as planned
will leave the United States at several
different points. Some will embark at
San Francisco, others at Galveston,
New Orleans, Key West and other
southern points.
OF course a proposition to arbitrate
would seriously interfere with all this.
Minister Montt, who is an exceedingly
cautious man, and who i,nows the diff
culties of advising the home government
when it is not believed that this govern
ment means war, has at last suggested
to President Montt the propriety and
advisability of asking this government
to lay all the facts in connection with
the Baltimore case before a board of ar
bitration. / am told that there is con-
siderable doubt as to just how this sug-
gestion will be received.
