LA LIBERTAD'S EXPERIENCE
Encounters Rough Weather, Loses Her Sails and Finally
 Runs Out of Coal.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27.-The Mexican warship La Libertad which yesterday had been given up as lost by the local Mexican consul, is at the present moment safely anchored about twenty miles below the passes. Early this morning rumors were circulated here that the ship was aground forty miles below the passes, but no def- mite news could be secured until 10o'clock, when the Grand Isle train arrived in the city. On board were Second Engineer Jose penedo and Quartermaster Bernardo Lopex, who explained that the La Linerlad had left Vera Cruz about month ago to participate in the carnival festivities.
 The voyage generally is made in three days, but continual gales and rough weather tossed the vessel for many days, until when about forty miles from the bar the ships coal gave out on the 23d of Feb ruary. The sails had been lost duriog pre- vious storms, and Capt. Pedro N. Saliva, seeing his ship at the mercy of the clements, with no means of reach nardo Lopez and four sailors to attempt to reach land Tn an open boat. Fortunately the weather had calmcd down, and the ship being still a considerable distance west of tue main pass, a bee line was first made for Grand isle. When land came in sight, by the help of sails and oars, the Southwest Pass light house was reached after one day and one night of hard work. Here some rest was taken by the men, who finally, three days after leaving the ship, reached the main Iass. Then Josepenedo and Lopez made their way to the Grand Isle road and boarded tue next train for the city.
 Outside of the partial loss of sail and the giving out of the coal supply no other calamity was reported. During the severe gales DO man was injured, and the ship is amply stocked with provisions and no lm- mediate want is experienced at the present time by the men left on board the ship.
 La Liberatad is a steel snip, unarmored, of H bout 10C0 tons displacement and about 12 feet draught. She was built in 1875 or 1876 In a yard near Liverpool, and went into commission immediately after. She is equipped with two masts, square rieged and relies to large extent upon her sails in ordinary voyaging. She has also been fitted with fine modern engines and could develop the speed of about fifteen knots an hour.
 La Libertad's armament consists of seven guns, two of them heavy rifles, two rapid firing guns aud the remainder of small cali- Der, intended to be used in the boats or to command the decks in case of an attempt by the enemy to board. Her crew consists of eighty men, usually counting officers and men. The vessel is under the command of 5enor P. N. Salva.
 La Libertad had been frequently seen in New Orleans, and her officers are well known here.
 Her last visit was paid during the second year of the cotton exposition in 1886, when she remained some time.
 A supply of coal was obtained here by the Mexican consul and sent down to the Libertad at once.

AND THE sEABoARD AND SOUTHERN LIN Es
 MAY HAVE COLLISION.
 ATLANTA, Feb. 27.-Quite a sensational injunction was granted in Atlanta tonight by Judge Lumpkin of the superior court of Fulton county, which will give striking color to the situation among the southern lines of railway in the boycott against the Seaboard Air Liue. The injunction is taken by King & Spaldiug, special attorneys for the seaboard in his case, and the suit Is against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway.
 It is claimed in the bill tbat the Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis entered into a contract with the Seaboard several years ago to allow 1t all the advantages of traffic arrangements that 1t allowed every other road connecting with it. This agree ment was made when the Seaboard made a deal with the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis for ths use of it's .rminal in At lanta, using the tracks of the Western and Atlantic, which is owned by the state Of Georgia and leased 10 the Nashville, Chat taDoJga and St. Louis.
 The bill further recites that when the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis de- cded to abide the ruling of the south bern Railway and Steamship association and boycott the Seaboard this contract was vio- lated. It Is claimed that the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis will have to stand to it's contract with the Seaboard above it's agreement to abide the dictations of an organization of railroads. It is further reiterated that the lease of the Western and Atlantic to the Nashville, Chattan ooga and St. Louis slipulates that the lessees shall never discriminate under any circun- stances against any railroad iu favor Of an- other, and it is claimed that the govern ment Of Georgia. if the boycott is pursued by the lessees, can cause the latter to forfeit its lease at any moment.
 This will give the boycott of the Sea- board a uew turu.

PEOPLE LOCKED IN MINE MEET AN AW-

 CERRlLos, N. M., Feb. z7.-A disastrous mining accident was reported from White. ash, three miles from here, this afternoon.
 Enough is known to show that many lives are lost. At 4 p. m. eleven bodies had been taken out. The accide n occurred this morning in the mines of the Santa Fe company. 1t was caused by explosion. . At that hour the employees at the entrance to the mine heard terrific roar, followed by the ground trembling. dense volume of smoke poured from the entrance, mak- ing it mpossible to enter until it had par italy cleared.
 There were forty men in the mine when the explosion took place at p. m. None of them have been rescued, and it is feared that many, if not all, have perished. There is no way of escape through the en- trance to the mine at present. The first body recovered was that of driver who was near the mouth when the explosion took place. Judging from his fate there is little hope for any in the mine. Over half of the men employed in the mine have families,- and they are gathered around the mouth of the mine in dire distress.
 The first intimation of the disaster was a muffied roar and clouds of smoke and dust rolling from the mouth of the mine.
 Nearly 300 men are employed in the mine, but only fifty were at work when the ex- DlOsIOn occurred.

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, Feb. 27.-A fiend- ish plot to blow up Henry Sellinger's res- idence and kill six people was partially carried into effect here early this morning. A large quantity of dynamite was piled in front of Sellinger's home. The villain, while the family was asleep, attached a fuse to the explosive and lighted it. The perpetrator of the plot left just in time to escape @ dreadful explosion, which shattered Sell linger's residence. The front of the house was badly damaged and three children were thrown from bed by the great shock. Debris filled the air and the neigh borhood was startled when windows in neighboring house were broken by the concussion or by the flying missiles. Mir. Sellinger has no idea who designed the plot to kill his family, and as yet the po- lice officials are no wiser than he.

The Hopes of the PatriotS-The Governor-General Declares
 War Against the Rebels.

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 27.-News received the insurgents wish to treat with the gov ernment. The rioters in Baire, province of Santiago de Cuba, have signified through their leader, kubi, that they would like to arrange an interview between the provi- sional governor, CapriIes, and delegates whom they would choose to define their at titude to the authorities. They profess a desire to discuss the reforms for which they took up arms, but in reality they probably wish to secure a promise of elem ency in return for their immediate submis- sion. The insurgent bands from Vequita and Bueycito will march to Baire to act in concert with Rubi's men. The insurgents in Bayamo have made the same advances to Governor Capriles as have those in Baire.
 The Guantanamo insurgents are fleeing from the military. They have offered iit- tie or no resistance and are now -dispersing and seeking refuge from their pursuers. The bands at Ybarra and Jaquey- -Grande, province of Matanzs stood their ground. They have been aL...eked by troops, but the result, of the conflicts have not been made known. The regiment Mari Chris tiana started today for Santiago de Cuba.
