WHY THE SHIP STRANDED.

The Captain Poked His Revolver Under the
Crews Noses, and the Men Mutinied-
Tho Malcontents Jailed, and tho
Doomed Vessel Sailed short-Handed.
SAN Francisco, March 22.-The steamer
West Indian, which was reported wrecked of
Acaiutla, left here last February, Captain
Scott having had some difficulty in shipping
a crew. The non-union crew were removed
from the steamer by the Seamen's Union.
The police were called upon, and the Cap
tain armed his men and instructed them to
shoot the first union man that attempted to
come aboard. There was no shooting be-
cause the vessel dropped out into the
stream, and the coast seamen did not go out
on the bay to force it.
The first intimation of any trouble on
board was received here Sunday, when the
wife of Engineer Hallowell received letter
stating that a sailor had been cruelty
treated by the captain because he asked per-
mission to 60 ashore. The sailor was finally
taken to jail in irons, and, in consequence,
the foreman and all the sailors except four
refused to work until they first interviewed
tine British Consul The captain ordered
all hands into the forecastle and locked
turning after several hours, declared if the
men refused to work he would have them
sent to Jail. The men still refused to work,
when, at signal from the captain, who in
the meantime had armed himself, the COM
mandant and boatful of men came aboard
and picked out the mutinous leader and
took him to jail.
The engineer says throughout the whole
occurrence Captain Scott kept poking his
pistols under the mems noses and swearing
at them. He again told them to go to work,
but the men refused, saying that they pre-
to prison. The West Indian after leaving
La-Union, set sail for San Francisco withsa
short crew. 1t is thought that Captain
Scott must have lost his bearings, and the
vessel went on the rocks The Captain
seeing all hope gone, ordered out the boats
and the crew got safely ashore.

NEWS FROM TIE FOREIGN CAPITALS

VIENNA, March 22.-The Austrian Gov
ernment Is greatly disturbed by the atti-
tude Of the military men in Russian Poland.
General Gourko appears to be making
preparations for hostilities; the defenses of
Warsaw are being strengthened. and house
holders have been notified of the number of
soldiers each house will have to accommo-
date in the event of Russian army taking
up quarters in the city. Persons whose 10y
atty is questioned are expelled from War
saw and other Polish cities, and some are
deported to Siberia
The guards on the frontier have been re-
inforced, and fortified camps have been
established at convenient points for sud-
den movement in the direction Of either
Prussia OF Austria Large bodies Of troops
are in continual motion, and altogether the
situation is calculated to stimulate anxiety
both at Vienna and Berlin. General
Gourko returned short time ago from the
to above, and preparations have been in-
creased since he came back to his command.
General Gourko, 1t has been learned, Wis
tied St. Petersburg in order to confer with
the Gar on plan of action in the event Of
war with Austria and Germany. At con-
ference of five hours duration, Grand Duke
Vlsdimir, Grand Duke Alexis, the Minis
ter of War, the. Chief of staff and other mil
itary experts being present, it was decided
that General Gourko, who Is now stationed
in Russian Poland, should assume the
offensive on the Austro-G German frontier,
and that General Shouvaloff should COM
mand the defensive army corps.
The Russian Ambassador is said to have
given assurances to Austria that there is no
hostile intent on the part of Russia in the
extraordinary movements in Poland, but the
Austrian Government is not, for that rea-
son, ceasing to take vigorous precautions
against sudden attack. General Kreig-
hammer, at Cracow, has been ordered to
maintain increased vigilance, and the troops
throughout Galicia have been placed in
condition for immediate service.

CALCUTTA, March 22.-The revolt of the
Lushai tribe in Northern Burmah is ex-

there are plenty of amusements to keep

to have some excitement while training,

brooding too much. He wants to train
in California, but / don't think he will.

Franz Schneider, for the murder of sery-

But little interest was taken in the affair.
The approaches to the law courts in
Landiskeoight strasse, where the execu-
ton took place, were strongly guarded,
and but eighty spectators were permitted
to view the execution. When Schneider
approached the gallows, shortly after Z
O'clock, his strong frame trembled and
his face grew ghastly pale. 1t was evil
dent that his brutal nature was subdued
ana that he was Ill agony and fear of the
fate awaiting him. While being pinioned
to the gallows he struggled and shrieked,
"Oh, no; in Gods name, PIl say anything"
The moose was quickly thrown around
his neck, and as he swung free two as
sistants grasped the hanging man by the
arms and legs and pulled downward with
all their strength. Schneider was
strangled to death in four minutes. No
cap was used, and every expression and
change of color in the mans face was
discernible. 1t WAS so horrible that the
