Passengers Landed.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-At midnight the
Spree landed the passengers and crew of
the Abyssinia at Southampton. They
were in fair condition, having recovered
from the shock which their rough ex-
perience had given them, especially the
women passengers. Captain Murray,
of the Abyssinia, spoke highly of the
humanity and courage shown by the
officers of tie Spree in their prompt
assistance to the Abyssinia when made
aware of the danger.

he U. s. S. Baltimore In the Harbor.
VALPARAISO, Chilli, via Galveston, Aug.
21.-The insurgent army effected a land
ing early in the morning in Quintero
Bay, only twenty miles north of this city.
According to the lowest estimate it
numbers 8,U00 men. 1t would be nearer
the exact figures to say 10000.
Tiloy were brought down from Caldera
on eight transports, three tugs and four
war ships.
The point of landing is about fifty
miles from Santiago, where Balmaceda's
forces, to the mum Der of 10000, have been
stationed.
The Balmacedists have for some time
anticipated a movement south on the
part of their foes, but they believed that
Coquimbo would be the first place at
tackled.
1t now appears that the lowering of
the insurgent fleet in the neighborhood
of Coquimbo Bay was only scheme to
deceive Balmaceda.
The landing at Quintero Bay was
therefore a complete surprise to the
President, but as soon as he learned the
news he acted promptly. By his command
large force WAS sent north to meet the
enemy.
Admiral Brown, from his flagship, the
San Francisco, saw the landing of the in
surgents. They are we'll armed and en-
thusiastic.
The United States war ship Baltimore
is II this harbor.
The Esmeralda, commanded by Silva
Palma, is just outside the harbor.
1t is expected that she will be joined at
once by the other insurgent war vessels
from Quintero Bay. 1t looks as if, in
conjunction with the advance of the land
forces upon this city, the feet will open
fire upon the forts that defend this har-
Dor
1t looks as if the most important en-
gagement so far in the history of the
present war is about to be fought.
Until the present time it has been
neHrly altogether a battle of words.
Now fierce fight is imminent.

The Hennessy Murder Recalled by the
Deteotjys's Action.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug 21.-After
long rest the sensational scenes based
upon the assassinatio Of Chief Hennessy
are about to be revived. On the day OF
the lynchiug of the Italian assassins the
crowd also looked for Private Detective
D. @. O'Malley, but failed to find him.
The Committee of Safety promised to
look after him. During O'Malley's con
cealment the grand jury found several
indictments against him for old sins.
The only charge in connection with the
Hennessy matter was for aiding his lieu
tenant, T. J. McChrystal, in attempting
to bride a juror.
O'Malley surrendered and shrewdly
called the committee leaders into court
to testify upon the motion for change
Of venue. They all swore that he could
get fair trial, and that the committee
had decided to let justice take its course.
Since McChrystaPs confession, upon
which the O'Malley Indictment was
based, has been ruled out by the court.
O'Malley Is now clamoring for trial
He says the district attorney has refused
either to set the case or nollS prosqui it,
and he will go into court tomorrow and
file a motion that the case be fixed for
trial. The defence is confident of an ac-
quittal, and interesting Developments

PARIS, Aug 21.-Later official advicef
just received state that the calamity
which has visited Martinique is the most
severe since the year 1872. The disaster
is said to be equal to the famous cyclone
which swept over the island of Antigua
in 1871.
So far as can be learned there have
been nearly 80 deaths as a result of ths
hurricanes visitation, bat it will be
some time before the full extent of the
disaster is known.
At Port de- France alone there have
been 10 deaths. At st. Pierre five per-
sons are known to have been killed; at
Lementes 10, Francois IL, Riviere Pilote
2 and at La Trinite 10.
At all the above places large numbers
of persons were injured.
The damage done to shipping and
property is stupendous. About two
tifths of the island was under oultiva-

The numerous sugar, coffee, cotton and

force of the tornado seem to have been
utterly destroyed.
Houses and barns, stock houses and
stables have been crushed out of exist
ence, and considerable period must
elapse before the island RECEIVERS from its
terrible visitation.
There was some warning of the ap-
proach of the terrible wind, and thus
many of the sailors escaped with their
lives. But even in this case the loss of
life is not known. Some of the vessels
appear to have been carried bodily up the
beach by the fearful wind and waves;
others foundered at their anchorage, and
others still alongside their wharves,

Delegates to Brussels Afraid They Won't
be Allowed to Return to America.
BRUSSELS, Aus. 21.-Considerable con-
sternation was caused here to-day among
some of the American delegates to the
Labor Congress, most of whom are not
Americans, by report that the Ameri-
can govern ment intended to take ad
vantage of the absence of such lar ge
numer of socialists and anarchists by
denying admission to the United States
to all of them who are not citizens, on
their return.
AS most of them had been demonstrate
ing what an unhappy country the United
States was it was not thought that the
rumor would affect them as much as it
evidently did. Foreigners who had been
running down America in their speeches
turned pale at the idea of not being per
mitted to go back to America, and
seemed suddenly to CONCEIVE an intense
affection for that country.
British delegates seemed much amused
at the situation, and one of them re-
marked that it might be good idea for
England to follow suit.

CHASTITY HANGING SCENE.
The Victims Hend Was Practically Torn

The Victims Head Was Practically Torn
from His Body.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21.-A sickening and
altogether frightful occurrence marked
the execution of John Conway, who was
hanged here for the murder of the boy
Nicholas Martin.
AS Berry, the hangman, was drawing
the black cap over Conway's head the
latter shouted: "Hold on. want to
say something" Berry replied: "You
can't speak now," and was about to pro-
coed with the execution when the priest,
who was in attendance upon the Grimm al
upon the scaffold, hastily interposed,
pushed the hangman one side, and held
Conway's hand while the condemned
man, in broken tones, asked forgiveness
for his SINS
Only when the unfortunate wretch had
done speaking and when the priest had
replied to his plea for forgiveness did the
latter permit the hangman to proceed.
The incident caused intense excitement
among those present at the hanging, but
1t was as nothing compared to the horri-
BILE scene which was to follow.
In due course of time the drop fell
and Conway disappeared from view.
Almost Immediately afterwards the
priest began to read the confession of
the hanging man.
III Lulb COuLSSSAOu CONWAY SdAn buAU ne
was intoxicated when he murdered the
boy, and that his reason for taking the
boys life was that he had q morbid
curiosity to observe the process of
dying.
While the priest was reading Conway's
confession a streaming sound was heard
from the scaffold, AZ if quantity of
water was falling
A hurried investigation was made by
the hangman and by the prison officials,
and to their horror they found that the
sound was caused by blood which was
pouring upon the floor from Conway's
neck.
The fall, it appears, had been so severe
that the criminals head had been prac-
tically torn from his body, in fact, the
head was only held to the body by the
muscles of the neck.
Berry, of course, came in for consider
able abuse, the terrible bungling bein g
placed to his account alone.
People believe that this horrible hang
ing will be freely used as an argument
in favor of the abolition of hanging as a
means of execution and the substitution
of electricity for the rope.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug A.-The steam
sr Startled Fawn, pleasure boat plying
on the Merrimac above the dam, sank
shortly after 6 o'clock last evening close
by the falls above the city. The boat had
about. 200 passengers on board at the
time, but they were all saved by boats
which came to the rescue.
The vessel became unmanageable
through the breaking Of the tiller handle,
but Captain Spates, with rare presence
of mind, succeeded in steering her by
means of wrenches when in the swift
current near the falls and ran her upon
an obstruction.
Intense excitement prevailed among
the passengers, and but for several cool
heads panic would have occurred among
the women and children which would
probably have resulted in the loss of life.

for her and she was located in West

on berries and such other food as was
thrown to her from houses where she
begged. Her clothing hardly concealed
her person. She was sent to a reforma
