WASHINGTON, Feb. 0.-Chairmsn Cum.
mings, of the House naval committee,
has completed the report OF the commit

that tho premiums paid for the speed of

to restrain further payments on that
score. The committee found that the
charge that tho designs wore purposely
drawn to secure more than the contra act
speed was not borne out, and the same
was true OF the allegation that unusual

PURvIs' CHANCES IMPROVING.
The Young Whitecapper Who Was Half
Hung May Not Die After All.


New ORLEANS, Feb. 9.-The Picayune
special from Jackson, Miss, says:
State Senator Watkins, of M ason county,
who defended Purvis, was interviewed
tonight. When asked what step he
would take in Purvis' case Mr.
Watkins said: when the matter is
brought before the court again will be
able to show that the jury which tried
Purvis did not intend verdict which
insisted death penalty should be
given. On .he contrary penalty for
life imprisonment was intended.
What do you think of tho failure of
the sheriff to hang Purvis?"
~ think ne acted in perfect good faith
and really tried TO execute the order of
tho court, and he was perhaps as greatly
surprised at the unforeseen accident as
Purvis was"

with VIII Purvis, the young whitccap,
who WAS To have been executed on last
Wednesday, but who escaped by some
means not well understood by every.
body.
There are various opinions in regard
TO his escaping death. Some think thai
the rope was left united on purpose for
him to escape death; others think that
1t was clear case of carelessness on
the part OF the sheriff; Others seem to
think it special act Of Providence to

The KearsnrGe Omcers and Crew Have IA
Perilous Time Before Landing.
New YORK, Feb. "a special cable
to the Herald, from Colon, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of The wrecking of
the warship Kearsarge:
The Kearsarge was wrecked on Ron
cador reef ut Z o clock last Friday even
ing, February .. Sho was under both
sail and steam at the time and was
going about ten knots an hour.
AS she struck heavy sea was run
ming, and as tho character of the GAYS
in these waters WAS we'll known to the
kearsarge's officers, it was evident that
safety lay in forcing her as far upon the
cay as possible before she began to
break up. Accordingly she was at once
lightened by heaving her guns over
board. NoXt the III aStS were cut away,
not only to Tighten her, but also to pro-
vide material for strong RATS. A ter
rible night was passed, the waves
pounding heavily over the stern and
weatherside as she swung more and
more broadside on.
On Saturday morning, February 3, a
line was got ashore, and all hands
finally landed safe on the cay. Owing
TO the manner in which tho waves had
swept the decks and filled tho holds,
only little fresh water and q small
quantity OF provisions could be saved
Three boats vera got ashore but little
injured.
AS there is almost no water on the
reef and about 200 men were camped
there with tritling supply, one Of tho
boats was Immediately put in order to
go TO Old Providence for relief.
Lieut.. +. L. Brainard and Naval Ca
Diet Stitt with a picked crew of volun-
teers left tho cay. On reaching Old
Providence and finding nothing there
capable OF taking off tho ship-wrecked
crew came on to Colon for assistance.
When they left Roncador cay the kear-
sarge was breaking up fast.
