ALL LOST BUT ONE.
Eighty Persons Drowned by the Sinking of
Haytian WarShip.

a Haytian WarSnip.
New YORK, Sept. PA report of the
sinking of the Haytien warship AleXan-
Dire Potion was received in this city last
evening. All on board with one ex-
ception were lost All told eighty were
drowned. Among the number were
many prominent officials and diplo-
mats of the republic. The
cause of the disaster is I'M
known. The news of the disaster was
brought to this city by exMinister to
Hayti j. s. Durham, who arrived on
the steamer Prince Wilhelm |. from
Port au Prince. The disaster to the Pc
ton occurred on September 6, about
fifty miles south from Cape Tbero. The
cruiser had just been put into commits
sion. She left Port au Prince September
t, bound for San Domingo. She had on
board many distinguished passengers,
among them being Gen. Moline, San
Domingo's envoy to Hayti; NJ. Cohen,
the Haytien minister to Mexico, and
other well-known diplomats. Accord
ing to the testimony of the sole sur
xivor there was1absolutely no warning.
No collision with any vessel, nor with
a submerged coral reef or any storm
can account for the disaster. There
was nothing but gentle breeze
blowing and the passengers were en-
joying themselves in the cabin. Sud
denly the vessel began to sink. The Of
ticer on the watch ordered the men to
pass the word to those in the CABINS and
the fOrecastle to reach the deck as
quickly as possible and Jump over
board. 1t was already too late. There
was terrible confusion in the cabin as
the panic-stricken passengers struggled
to reach the deck, blocking the
passage way as they did SO, and pre-
venting one another from escaping from
what was destined to be their tomb.
For only a moment the awful struggle
lasted. In one minute and half from
the time the ship began to sink the YES
sci was entirely under water. The
sailor grabbed a pair of oars from
the liteboat as the ship was sink
ing and jumped overheard. He
caught q plank that was passing
and looked around, but no man
arose from the swirling waters which
engul[ed the wars hip. The sailor
stayed thirty-siX hours on the plank
with nothing to eat or drink, and when
picked up he was almost exhausted.
The place where he was picked up was
about fifty miles southeast of Point
Piment. For long time the castaway
was unconscious after he was taken
aboard. When he was able to speak
he told a terrible story. He said
he was one of the sailors of
the Alexandra Potion. When the war
ship was off Tribune September a
gale rose. The sailor said the ship
went down headforemost in the water
without the slightest warning and that
all on board but himself were drowned.
He was brought to Port au Prince and
put aboard another warship.

was received in London at noon to-day.
When the cable message referred to was
sent, Rio was still in the hands Of the
government forces, but its surrender
was momentarily expected.

fused to express any opinion concern
ing the revolution in Brazil, simply de-

posed the Emperor, Count d Eu and his
wife accompanied Dom Pedro to Portu-

EFFORTS TO RESTORE PEACE.
The Powers Trying to End the Revolution
in Brazil.

LONDON, Sept pa cable dispatch
from Rio de Janeiro to-day says that af-
fairs at the Brazilian capital remain I'M
changed. The rebel fleet is still threat
ening bombardment and negotiations
are yet progressing. Negotiations of
some kind are in progress nearly every
hour of the day, and it is said not to be
quite impossible that peace arrange
ment may be patched up between the
rebels and the government. Should
this be the case it will be mainly due to
the yntiring efforts of the representa-
ives Of the foreign powers and to the
backing the latter have received from
the commanders of the foreign war
ships at Rio. Failing the patching up
of peace very shortly the insurgents
repeat their announcement that they
will lay Rio in ashes. 1t is intimated
that the bombardment has been post
ponad pending the receipt of advices
from the Brazilian delegation which
arrived at Southampton Yesterday,
charged with a delicate mission to Lon
don. The insurgents are still blockad-
ing Santos and are expected to make
their power felt in other ports to the
south Of Rio before long. Porto Algre
and Rio Grande are now threatened by
the 1nsurgent war vessels.
