SUFFERING ON THE SEA.
A shipwrecked Crew without Food
for Seven Days.


for Seven Days.
Baltimore Nd, Nov. 1O.-A shipwrecked
crew and the captains wife were brought
here to-day. For an entire week the wo-
man and seven men were threatened with
death and when rescued were more dead
than alive as the result of exposure and
lack of nourishment
A few partly decayed potatoes was the
only food of which the party partook for
seven days and during that period there
was no water to drink. To add to the mis-
cry of their position, the shtpwrecked par
ty was constantly menaced with death by
drowning during those long days and
longer nights The schooner Francis of
Johns, n B., left Jacksonville for Demar-
ara, with lumber, Oct. Bon board was
Capt. John II. Gesner and wife; Chief Of
ficer James A. Mcdonald and Seamen
Harry Davis, Richard DeimOre, Richard
Coyler George Norman and John Bree
On Oct. p, a strong gale and heavy
seas were encountered. Late at night
some of the deck load was washed away
and the balance was thrown overheard.
At 4 o'clock the following morning the
wind suddenly shifted, throwing the YES
sci on end and leaving her in an almost
perpendicular position until the rigging
could be cut away. Heavy seas continued
to wash the decks making il necessary
for the crew to laSh themselves to sta
tionary objects.
For three days no vessel was sighted.
Then a ray of hope came to the ship
wrecked party in the shape Of two yes
sells, but the hope soon died out as they
passed by without being attracted by the
distress signals. During the next four
DAYS the dropping spirits and fast failing
strength of Mrs. Gesner and the seven
men were occasionally revived by the
sight of a passing vessel. None of them
saw the unfortunates, however. until
earlX Tuesday morning, Oct. 20, when the
Norwegian bark Enterprise, Capt. Paul
sen, from Mobile for Havre, fourteen days
out. sighted the wreck, in latitude 295S
north, longitude 77.3O west, and sent boats
alongside.
CAPT Gesner, his wife and crew were
transferred TO the Enterprise, after which

Members of the New Jersey Militia
To ne I'm the Party.
New York, Nov. 1O-senor VaIez, a
Cuban who was recently sent from this
city to Madrid IN the interests Of the
Cuban insurgents, returned to-day on the
steamer Veendam. He has been chosen
to lead the next expedition to Cuba, but
while he admitted that he expected TO
lead an expedition at an early day, he
refused to give any details of his plans
for obvious reasons
1t was learned. however, that the expe-
dition Will be accompanied by members
of the New Jersey national guard, and
also by the emissaries recently sent here
by Maxine Gomez and Antonio Maceo.
These emissaries are Lieuts. Salas and
Sanchez, who brought to Senior Estrada
Palma, his appointment as plenipotentiary
delegate, and 100000 in money. The other
emlssaries sent by Naceo arrived here
bring with them $4,000 for the purchase
of a fast steamer to carry filibusterlng
expeditions to the island. 1t caused some
surprise among the Cubans that negroes
should be entrusted with carrying such
large sum Of money but IL is explained
by the fact that they are the intimate
friends of Maceo, who is also a colorcd
man.
Senior Valezs expedition is to start In
about month, and will be the most inn
portant one taken to Cuba since the war
began. 1t will be composed of Cubans
and Americans from New York, Jersey
city, Jacksonville, Philadelphia and Chi
cago. These New Jersey national guards
men viii be very valuable to the nsur-
gents, as they are to establish a signal
corps, which Will enable the various com
manders to communicate intelligence
with the same facility as the Spanish
troops enjoy.

New London, Conn. Nov 10.--The steam
er Puritan Of the FAN River line is stin
held hard and fast on shore at Great Gull

ing the combined efforts Of three power
ful tugs and two steamers Of the FAN
River line the City OF Brocton and the
City Of Taunton, which had immense haw-
sers out 20 her to-day.
The City of Brocton, the City Of Taun-
ton, two OF Capt. Scott's tugs, and a tug
of the Chapman Wrecking Company, pull
ed long and hard at the Puritan but she
would not yield to their combined efforts
and lies as firmly aground as when she
struck.
A fierce sea was running all last night,
and the wind. which had been on the
southern board during the prevalence
of the fog, shifted TO the north and then
to the northwest, carrying the Puritans
stern a little to the northward, so that
she shifted a little inshore. The wreckers
believe that she Is lying In no worse
condition tonight than when she went
on, and hope is entertained that she
may be saved
Capt. Davis of the Puritan and his
crew are aboard the steamer, and win
stay until she comes off or, there Is no
chance of saving the vessel The former
result Is confidently hoped for.

MAKE ROOM.

By all means, if it is in the limits of possibility let the Alabama building be enlarged. Every industry in the State that is enterprising enough to get up display should have space.
 It is possible that the most enthusias- tic and progressive citizens of our State do not fully grasp the magnitude and inn portance of the Cotton States and h. ternational Exposition. It will rival the Columbian Exposition, and in certain respects may eclipse it. The eyes of the world-and those eyes are friendly to the South-will be upon Atlanta. Let us work hard and fast before it is too late for anything but unavailing reports.
