THE WRECK OF THE soLIMoEs.
Only Five Out of One Hundred and
Twenty-eight Were Saved.

Rio JANIERo. May 14.-One hundred
and twenty-three persons perished by
the sinking of the Brazilian ironclad
Solimoes, off Montivideo, on the coast
of Uruguay. Only four of the crew and

to the scene of the rebellion il the state
of Matto Crosse. The fotilla was in
the Rio de la Plata above Montevido,
waiting for the Solimoes. The ironclad
approached the narbor of Montevideo III

island, not far from the mouth of the
Rio de la Plata. Two sailors on the
lookout, two at the wheel and the pilot
were the only men on deck; all the Other
members of the crew, which numbered
l27, We're below matches.
The warship sank quickly and the
men under the matches had no time tC
get ont. The water poured in on them
through the hole made in the hull and
they were drowned crying piteously for
help. How the five whose lives were
spared escaped is not told, but they
probably got off in small boat. Captain
Chastrot, in command of the vessel, was
among the unfortunates.
