THE SAILORS, STORY WHICH THE

Captain Pendleton of the Bark Amy Turn

Been Obtained.
New York, January 2,-The sailor on
the bark Amy Turner which arrived
here Friday, accuse their captain of re-
fusing to take ON board the crew Of a
Norwegian bark fast sinking in mid
ocean. John Nelson, able seaman, says
that on February 2, they sighted Nor
wegian bark flying signals of distress.
AS soon as she sighted them she came
to and a boat put off from the
vessel. In it was the captain Of the Nor
wegian and his crew of II men. When
within hailing distance, the Norwegian
captain shouted: Captain, our vessel
is sinking. Will you take us on
board?''
NO." answered Capt. Pendleton,I,,
have $50 days passage before me Che
was bound for Honolulu and cannot
take you"
But our vessel will not keep afloat
much longer" protested the Norwegian
captain. "We have been pumping four
days and cannot keep up any longer,
Keep off," shouted Captain Pendle-
ton in reply, II will not take you.n
'For Gods sake" cried the Norwe-
gian captain, 'do not condemn us to
such a horrible death. Take us on and
land us at Bermuda or any of the Islands.
You will be well paid
Nelson says: 1.-THE boat was near
enough for us to see that the men were
in earnest and speaking the truth. Tears
were streaming down their faces as they
bent to their oars and tried to keep up
with the Turner. The Norwegians beg
ged for some time to be taken On board.
and Captain Pendleton still shook his
head. There's a ship on our lee, = he
said, go to her and get passage Cap
tain Pendleton then gave orders to square
away. Shrieking, praying and cursing,
the Norwegian crew were soon left be-
hind.''
Gilbert Mclean vouches for the truth
of Nelson's narrative Captain Peudle-
ton was seen today at the Maritime Ex-
change. 1T was deliberate scheme to
abandon the bark to the underwriters, y
said he. 1.-THE vessel was not water
logged and was laden with lumber SO she
could not sink. The vessel was right in

Says He Didn't Declare for Monarchy
Now Nobody Believes Him.
Rio Janeiro, January 2.-Admiral de
CANA, commander of the insurgents
feet in the harbor, published yesterday
a manifesto intended to counterfeit tie
effect of his celebrated declaration a
month ago in favor of the monarchy.
This declaration has weakened thescause
or four weeks and alienated from Mello
and Cana several officers who, before its
appearan ce, were their trusted friends
and allies. Among the people at large,
its effects were still more unfavorable to
the insurgent cause. In the manifesto
yesterday, Admiral de Cana, asserted
that his former declaration was not a
monarchist document. This declaration,
as well as other papers attributed to
him, he said in his manifesto yesterday,
was altered and printed in falsified
form He had not declared for monarchy
but intended merely to ask the people Of
Brazil what form of repu blican govern
ment they wanted The other interpreta-
tions of his declaration were not made in
good faith.
This second manifesto has fallen fat.
The friends of the repu bile regard it as
passing maneouvre to win support to
the insurgents cause. While not gaining
for the insurrection any new republican
friends, the manifesto has disguised
many of its former supporters, as the
monarchists are thoroughly disguised
with Canals back down, All is quiet
and orderly here at present and no
shooting is in progress.

Uncle Sam, Junk Dealer.

Uncle Sam is a sort of second hand
dealer and runs a good sized junk shop
on his own hook. Not only that, says
the New York Advertiser, but he sends
out circulars to those of inquiring turn
of mind, with descriptions and price
lists of his wares, just as a second hand
book dealer or postage stamp or coin
collector would do.
If a grand army post should con-
clude to festoon the rafters of its ar
mory with muskets and antique scab-
bards it will find Uncle Sam right on
hand, for, though he has disposed of
all his heavy arms, he has innumerable
old pistols, muskets ~bayonets and sa-
bers which he is not averse to dispos-
ing of at a fair price, and he will
promptly forward a printed price list
showing the comparative newness or
antiquity of his second hand wares and
%warranting the articles to be exactly
as represented and to fill the bill pre-
cisely for decorative purposes. And
they are offered very cheap, too. One

and full of memories of furious charges

Leach his goods, read him the direc-
