THE STEAMER BRIDG EroM.
She Has Arrived mt Kingston, Jamaica
in a Sinking Condition.

she mas arrived mt kingston Jamaica,
in n sinking Condition.
A cable dispatch from Kingston,
Jamaica, published by the New York
World, Sunday, said
The steamer Bridgetou, which arrived
here Friday in sinking condition, re-
ports that she encountered violent
storm.
II must have been storm of cannon
balls striking her ohliquely from the
winGward, judging from her general
appearance and the character Of her in
juries. .. ...
Her captain refuses to be interviewed.
The BTidgeton, about whose move
ments since she left Philadelphia there
has been much speculation, came here
following the ocean-going tug George
w. Childs, also bought in Philadelphia.
She took on board before leaving the
States the remainder of the supply of
stores and munitions of war for Cuba
ready for shipment left after the Childs
had taken on all she could carry.
Both vessels landed near Santiago.
The Childs reports that the e&pedi-
ton met with un enthusiastic reception,
and that men and munitions were put
ashore without hitch.
The Bridgeton is being repaired here,
and when she is made fit to go to sea
again she will clear, it is said, for Cay
enne, French Guiana, by way of Curacao.
The Childs cleared for San Domingo.
1t is suspected that she will return To
Cuba to get Jose MarIi, who the Cubaus
here still believe is alive and anx-
ious TO leave the island, probably for
the United States.
