SPANISH TRAINING SHIP.
The Spanish an-of-war Nautilus lying In the
North River off Twenty y-scventst, was run into by a
iucboa Yesterday Her gangwny and one Of her boats
we're smashed and several of her crew narrowly
escaped death.
The accident occurred just Alderman Mead and
his companions were taking leave of Captain Palos'
after having made their official visit. The departing
guests were standing at the top Of the gangway on the
starboard side At the foot Of the eangway was the
steam launch with her crew, and just ahead Of the
launch attached to the swinging boom, was boat No
>. with four in her.
The tug william E. street, with a canal boat and
lighter in tow was passing at tie time As the tug
tried 10 cross the bows of the Nautilus the strong
tide swept her down stream against the manof-waTs
bows.
The crew Of the tug cut the tow-llnc and let the
canal boat and lighter drift down stream clear of the
war ship. The machinery of the tug did not work
right at the critical moment, and she crashed against
the Nautilus. Meantime the officers on the deck Of
the ship had shouted to the officer In command Of
the launch to 60 asern. This he did and escaped In
Jury The men in boat No . let go the painter and
TIE boat drfed back to the gangway up which three
Of the men sprang. The fourth too late. how
ever for before h could get out Of the boat it was
crushed like an cggshel between the tug and the side
of the Nautilus. The sailor pretty badly iammed,
but was pulled on board the tug and saved.
Along the side of the Nautilus the tug went, smash
ing ard carrying away the gangway and swinging
BOOM and scraping Off a lot Of paint. After getting
c ar Of the vessel the tugs machinery got to
working all right, and after returning the injured
sailor to the Nautilus, she went after her tow, which
was drifting down the river. The damage to the
Nautilus was not great.

ROME IN A STATE OF PANIC.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ATTACK TAKEN ON MAY
DAY BY THE RELIGIOUS BODIES AND
WEALTHY FAMILIES.


WEALTHY FAMILIES.
London, May Ga letter received here from Rome
dscloses number of new facts in regard TO the
riots which took place there on May Day, and as to
the general feeling of the people upon the same oc
casion According to this letter. the public officials
at Rome, well as the people. have been In state
of panic for week or two This state Of affairs, it
appears is due TO several causes the most prominent
Of which the fall of the Ministry headed by Sgnor
Crspi the accession of the Rudnl Ministry to power.
the strong public demand for an equalization Of ex-
penses and receipts without fresh taxation the dplo
matte troubles which have arisen between Italy and
the United States and, finally the explosion at Pozzo
PantaleO Which caused 20 much damage and alarm in
Rome and its vicinity.
In spite of all the denals and official statements
In regard to the Of the explosion at Pozzo Pan
taeo the Romans convinced that the explosion
was the work of Anarchists. As this letter was
written before the fire yesterday which destroyed the
barracks stables and storehouses Of the Carabneria
and which created so much alarm at the Vatican the
feeling existing in Rome can be easily imagined
especially as the fire is currently attributed 10 the
Socialists or Anarchists.
Continuing, the letter says that the crisis which
undoubtedly exists has caused collapse OF specula
tive enterprises which state of affairs has, in turn
thrown thousands of worKingmen out of employment;
and in their enforced idleness they naturally became
dissatisfied with their employers, with the Government
and with the whole system under which they live
In this frame of mind they become ready prey for the
agltators.
On May Day, this letter adds, the natural excita-
bty of the workingmen rose to fever heat. and the
widest circulated by those who mad
everything TO gain and nothing to lose by a popular
disturbance. These TnmOrs gradually grew In lmpOr-
tance until il actually believed that revolution
was impending. These rumOrs were continually mag
nfed and nowhere the panic greater than at
the Vatican and among the various religions societies
and communi>>s-Of this city. II stated that these
religious bodies had hurrcdy stocked their hcadquar
ters with five days provisions, and that the inmates
had been strictly confined within doors. The richer
families Of this city also seriously alarmed
that they adopted the same tactics as the religious
institutions.

reason to believe that in details 1t differs from
the report made TO the Depa"men of Justice by Dis;

been constantly on duty since March, 18o9-mOre than
