SEVEN PEOPLE DROWNED.
One Entire Family Perishes and
Two Others Are In
Mourning.

OCEAN CITY, Nd, Aug. 27.--By the
overlooking of u small pleasure boat
an entire family was drowned and two
other families are in mourning. A
party of farmers from the neighbor-
hood Of Frankfort and Selbyville Del,
had q Ash fry on Grey's creek, q branch
Of the Isle of White bay, with bathing,
fishing and amusements.
William Hudson carried q party Of
nine out sailing, and as the boat was
about to come back the women OF the
party jumped screaming on the high
side, capsizing the little craft, which
was hardly large enough to carry five
persons.
The capsizing occurred within 200
yards of the shore and in water seven
feet deep. Mr.. Storr had only one
hand and vas blind in n eye, but
was an expert swimmer.
He succeeded in getting his two
daughters on the bottom of the boat
and was getting his wife, when the
girls became scared and slipped OF
the boat and went to their parents,
and together the four persisted. Hud-
son, who was sailing the boat, got the
two Hall girls on the boat and was
trying to save Miss Stevens, when they
slipped of and were drowned before
he could get to them. Two other
young ladies who we're in the boat
were rescued by q fisherman who put
of from the shore as the boat cap
sized. Mr.. Storr was found shortly
after his family, and Miss Stevens
body was found today by hauling a
net. Large parties are searching for
the bodies of the other two.

tation on the various racers owned by
the marquis of Ailsa, and he is classed
with the best shippers of Great Britain.
1t is undecided yet what the sail area
of either Of the Defender or the Valky-
RE will be. The Defender has four
suits of sails, and, as she has proved
her ability to carry IN immense spread,
it isprobable that she will carry a
greater en- panse of sail than has ever
yet been sported by a single sticker.
Only her owner and shippers know the
sail capacity of the Valkyrie Ill, and
with true English conservatism, have
not made the secret public.

The Spanish General Will Not
Last Much Longer.

QUARANTINE, s. l., Aug. @-The
Ward line steamer Senaca, from Next
can and Cuban ports, arrived early
this morning at Quarantine. One Of
the Havana passengers in speaking of
the affairs at that place says that on
August Z, the day before the Senaca
sailed, Capt. Gen. Martinez Campos
called together all the volunteer or
CARNATIONS and demanded transfer to
the regular army of 100 men from each
camp. General Indignation prevails
among these organizations but the
order will be enforced. The insurrec-
ton is more widespread than the peo-
pie of Havana are allowed to believe
and Campos will not last long. He
vas caught in q bad trap at Bayamo
and but for the impulsive action of
the Cuban Gen. Maceo. precipitated
his attack, Campos would certainly
have been captured. The insurgents
win every fight. It the past four
months the Spanish forces have lost
by disease, drunkenness and killed in
battle fully $1,000 q No reports
are allowed to be circulated concern
ing losses in battle but the authorities
admit that in this period 10000 have
died from diseases Or excessive indulg-
ence in food or drink. Thirty thou
sand insurgents are known to be in
the field overrunning the country and
making their camps in the mountain
Businesses when they sally to strike a
blow and return to camp. They have,
asked the sympathizers of the revolu-
ton of whom there are about 5000 in
the city and suburbs of Havana, why
they do not capture and occupy Santi-
ago or some other important city.
This they claim they could do but,
their plans as to the future would not
permit. That is to say q large MAORI
ty of the inhabitants Of Cuba are ne
groes and independence would mean
negro government. II independence.
could be secured with the establish
ment Of q p~rotectorate under the
United States or some other strong
government, then the question would
soon be settled. Failing in this, the
general desire Is to secure home rule
from the mother country. The cap
ture OF an important Q coast town
would be followed by the recognition
of their rights as belliferents. Until
some definite plan q be settled the
guerilla warfare will be continued. A
large majority of the people are hop
ing tor concession from Spain in pre-
ference to independence as the feast
bility Of q republic without negro
domination would be difficult to OBJ

OMAHA, Aug. 29.-At the Offices of
the 20" in this city it is announced
that there is no change in the situa-
ton regarding the ~homeseekers ex-
cursions. The Burlington is as firmly
determined as ever not to adopt the
certificate plan. The fact that the
Illinois Central has agreed to accept
that form of ticket, and the single
fare plus 81 rate will make no differ
ence with the Burlington. At the
present outlook, however, it appears
likely that the single fare rate with
the ordinary style of ticket will be
adopted by all the roads.

ANOTHER DISASTER.
Nine Men Killed and Fifteen
Others More or Less
Injured.

PIrrsBuRG, Aug. 2S.-An explosion
Of q furnace at the Carnegie Steel com
yany works at Braddock at s O'Clock
this morning killed six workmen, fat
ally injured three and seriously burn
ed fifteen. Property to the value Of
$4,000 was destroyed.
All are Poles and Huns except one
who was q German.
The explosion was due to q "hang''
in the furnace, which suddenly loosen
ed, and dropped into the molten met
Il below, generating an immense
quantity Of gas 80 suddenly that it
could not escape By ordinary means.
Loss Of life Il due to the fact that q
few minutes before the explosion oc-
CURED one Of the top filters dumped q
barrel Of material into the bell Of the
furnace, which he had forgotten to
raise. This clogged the top Of the
furnace, prevented the gas escaping.
Sixteen men in charge Of James Har-
rison were sent to the top Of the fur
mace to remove the obstruction. All
were crowded around the bell Of the
furnace when the explosion occurred.
Men and tools were hurled In all
directions and flames Of deadly gases,
and smoke belched from the top. The
men fell as il shot. One man was
blown q considerable distance, fell to
floor below, struck on the edge of a
car and was cut in two. The others
died Of burns and asphpxiation.
A relief rev was quickly organized
and went to the top of the furnace
where lay fifteen men bleeding, torn
and burned. The smoke Of the flames
was still issuing from the furnace and
the work of rescue was extremely dan
gerous. The escue ware obliged to
cover their hands, faces, and heads
with clothes.
The contents Of the furnace were
blown out and hurled hundreds Of
yards cutting and burning ten men
burning ten working below. The
fiery shower set In flames the carpen-
tor shop which was destroyed with its
contents.
Later-Two Of the injured died
after reaching the hospital, making
the number Of dead eight. They were
burned beyond recognition.

full bout in American waters should
race on al wen keel. That the De-
fender Is the stiffest racing machine
yet created was proven in q way that
almost alarmed her admirers on the
day she broke her gaR of Newport
after making the last turn. A hard
blast of wind hit her immense spre cad
Of canvas, and instead of bending to it
like the other yachts she stood as
the proverbial church. Under the i'm
menss strain something had to give
way and the great sixty-odd foot gaff
SNAPPED like q pipe stem. This was an
unlocked for catastrophe, but HERE
shog solved the problem by having an
other gaf made Of hollow steel. If
this works successfully it will be used
in the race.
One of the wonders of the Defender
is her quickness in stays. In a thrash
to windward where short tacks are
made, this will be of great service to
her. An examination OF her lines
shows the reason of this quickness.
Notwithstanding her great draught,
she is of very light displacement, and
shows an easy form to drive. Her
beam is moderate and she has one of
the neatest bilRes and quarters yet
produced. Her stern is carried out to
q neat counter which is cut off nearly
square, while her sheer is not decided.
The extreme vane Of her stern post
and rudder, in connection with the
fashion In which her fore-foOt is cut
