Later Details of the Wreck of the
Dom Pedro.
Later details of the wreck Of the French
passenger steamer Dom Pedro. announced
in yesterdays dispatches to The Star, are
being secured with difficulty, owing to the
remoteness of the locality where the sur
vivors were brought ashore and the scare
ity Of means Of communication.
The number who have perished in the
disaster is now ascertained to be 1O3, and
only thirty-eight were saved. The sur
vivors have taken refuge in the little town
of Villarcia. in the province of Pontevedra,
twenty miles north of the town of Vige.
The little town is located on the southern
shore of the Bay of Arosa and has a small
harbor for fishing vessels, the population
numbering less than 1000 souls The rocks
of Cobos, near Corrubedo, upon which the
ill-fated vessel struck are around the head
land which forms the northern limit of
the Bay of Arosa. The gunboat MacMahon
has been sent to the scene to render such
assistance as is possible to the survivors.
The London Standard has a dispatch
from Madrid giving further details of the
wreck. which says that official kilograms
received there state that the Dom Pedro
had valuable cargo and many Spanish
emigrants on board. She was wrecked on
Cobos rocks, near Cape Corrubedo. All the
officers except the captain were lost. Thir-
ty-eiSht passengers and sailors were saved,
chiefly by people along the coast, who went
out in their small boats and rescued the
survivors with much difficulty. Twenty
remainder are at Fillarcia. They say the
scene was horrible in the extreme. In the
confusion many of the passengers jumped
overheard and tried to swim ashore.

STRANGE NEW YORK MURDER.
A COlored Butler Shot Down for No
Apparent Cause.

Apparent Cause.
Two men rang the bell at the basement
entrance Of Matthew C. D. Borden's resi-
dence, 25 West seth street, New York, Mon
day afternoon during the storm.
Walter Ferdinand Harris. thirty-six years
cid. colored. and employed as second butler.
responded, and, as he opened the door, was
shot and almost instantly killed.
The Borden house is fve-story brown
stone front. Robert Bonner's house Is
within a few doors. and the Vanderbilts,
Chauncey NJ. Depew and many other
wealthy people live within a stones throw.
NJ. c. D. Borden has authorized the chief
of police to offer reward of $4,000 for
the arrest of the murderers.
The police are now building on the theory
that the men who killed Harris went to
the Borden home for purposes Of robbery.
Two houses in the same neighborhood were
entered by burglars yesterday and within
a few blocks of the Borden house. Louis
Dettmeier, arrested yesterday afternoon
for entering the home of Jacob London. at
4o2 East 5Oth street. is undoubtedly the
same man, who, with companion, entered
the house of DR.. w. P. B;ssell, at 15 West
5Sth street, yesterday.
His description corresponds with that of
one Of the men who It is believed killed
Harris. He is short, shabb.ly dressed and.
although only twenty-five years old, seems
to be an experienced burglar.
He and his companion, s.xteen-year-old
boy, named Edward Butt were arrested
yesterday afternoon coming out Of Lon
don's house. One Of them carried a bag,
which. it was found. contained $50 worth
of clothing. An hour or so before two men
entered the house of DR.. Bissell next door
to that of former Chief Byrnes.
They must have gained admission through
the areaway by means of skeleton keys.
Mrs. Bissell saw them and screamed. They
ran out of the Office in the rear. They had
cabinets. but nothing at the time was found
to be missing.
