THE VICTORIA WRECK
AN OFFICIAL DIsPATCH REGARD
ING THE DISASTER.
Twenty-Five Officers and Three
Hundred and Thirty-six Men Lost
tn the Recent Collision Between
Two British War Vessels.

London, July 3.--A milshipman from
the Victoria arrived at Calais with Rear
Admiral Markh0m's dispatches concern
ing the collision off Tripoli. He was
brought by special steamer, The Maid of
Kent, to Dover, and was conveyed thence
by special train to London. He drove
directly TO the admiralty Office, where
the admiralty board. notified in advance
of hi. coming, received and read the dis
patches Mt once The first dispatch was
from Rear Admiral Markham, lated
from the warship Campcrdown on June
% 1t says: ut is with the most pro-
found regret that 1 have to report TO
you the total loss of her majesty's ship
Victoria, involving the irreparable loss Of
the commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Sir
George Tryon, twenty-five officers aud
336 men," The dispatch gives detailed
description of the wreck of the Victoria,
which has already been published. He
thinks that it would have been :mpossi-
bl" to have followed Admiral 1'ryOn's
oroers and avoided collision. The in
juries to the Camperdown are serious,
but he hopes that with the assistance of
the artifcers of the squadron they may
be temporarily repaired so that she may
be- sent to Malta and doeked. &

of the Victoria, sends to the admiralty

.TADE A GnEAT EIGHT

st. Paul, June 30.--Last night Dick
Moore made the effort of his life in Ills
60 with Shadow Maber, the Australian,
and advanced TO within one notch of the
American welter-weight championship.
Mysterious Billy Smith alone stands In
Dicks way and prevents nlm from wear
ing the championship belt to-day. 1t
was by far the prettiest contest ever
seen at the Phoenix club or in the North
west, and fully 500 people saw Dick dash
the predictions of the wise men to the
ground, and defeat the willy Australian
with all his generalslip, in twenty lively,
vigorous, scientific rounds. Previous to
the match there was some little betting,
and it was mostly in Maber's favor. 1t
was thought his long experience in the
ring would give him a great advantage,
and the fact th.t he had met and defeat
ed many men of note also helped TO make
him the fayolite. Dicks friends clung to
him, however, and accepted many of the
bets made against him. Not only this,
but they offered odds on him, and freely
expressed the opinion that Dick was q
sure winner. As it proved, he won as
easily as Boundless took the Chicago
Derby, and at the close of the contest
was picked up by his wildly enthusiastic
friends and carried to his dressing room.
While there was no brutality about the
contest, and both men were still in good
condition at the close, it was nevertheless
plainly apparent that Moore had won by
long odds, and accordingly Referee Sec
ley declared him the winner. The leci-
si9r was eminently satisfactory. Though
Maber exhibited great generalship and
gave clever exhibition of his ability to
clinch, it avaiIed him nothing, for he was
ontboxed and had met his superior. An
attempt will now be made to- arrange q
match between Moore and Smith for
the championship of the world.
