Gloucester, Mass. ia nuary 26.-The
Bass Rock house on the south side of
East Gloucester, and the furniture there
in, was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. 1t was one of the finest and largest
summer hotels on the New England
coast. and was owned by the estate OF
the late Henry Souther of Boston. The
building was surrounded by many fine
cottages, all unocoupied. The fire origi-
mated in the kitchen and is attributed to
an inoendiary, as the building was un-
occupied. Several other buildings caught
fire from burning embers carried by tine
wind. but the firemen succeeded in saw
ing theI with slight loss. An annex
to the hotel, containing 80 rooms, in the
course of construction and the stock for
this, was totally destroyed. The loss is

ON THE HIGH SEAS.
General Garcia Has Gone to the Assistance
afna of His Struggling Countrymen,


Philadelphia, January 26.-A local
paper says: Gen. Calixto Garcia, the most
distinguished Cuban general now outside
of Cuba, has escaped the watchful eyes Of
the Spanish agents and sailed from this
port Thursday, it IL stated, on the fruit
steamer Bernard, bound for Cuba. Gen.
Garcia goes to Cuba at the head Of the
most formidable expedition that ever left
this country, which he will take COM
mand of on the Ugh seas, where he will
meet another fruit steamer, the Jasof,
with over 800 men on board and a large
qauntity Of arms and ammunition. The
plan outlined for the expedition was for
the Jasof to cruise on the high seas until
the arrival of the Bernard When the two
vessels met it is believed Gen. Garcia and
his son, Carlos Garcia, were transferred
to the Jasof.
The Jasof is expectedssto reach a point
off the Florida coast today and there it
is planned to transfer the entire expedi-
rion to a steamer which will meet it on
the high seas. From those fmiliar with
Gen. Garcia's plans it Is learned that the
expedition will at once make for some
point near the boundary line Of the prov
ince of Pinal Del Rio and province of
Havana.
Gen. Gomez is thoroughly informed of
all the plans for the expedition and at
the point agreed upon for the landing of
the expedition he will have strong body
of troops. Owing to his great popular
ity in that district, it is expected that
Gan. Garcia will at once place himself at
the head of strong body Of men in the
province of Pinar Del Rio. Among the
Cubans in this country great hope is
placed in this expedition. One of the
drawbacks Of the Cuban cause has been
the lack Of commanders who corn bine
both bravery and military sagacity.
Should any misfortune befall either
Gsn. Gomez or Generals Jose and Anto-
nio Maceo, the Cuban cause would be in
rather embarrassing position. Gen.
Garcia is fully competent TO take either
generals place at a moments notice.

New York, January 25.-The American
inc steamship st. Paul ran ashore in the
fog off Long Branch, shortly after mid
night this morning. Signals sent up
| from the vessel attracted the attention
OF the life saving patrol Of the Long
Branch life saving station.
| The patrol at once gave the alarm. and
the entire force OF life savers at the sta
tion hurried down to the beach. The
great hull of the vessel could he seen
looming up indistinotly on the outer bar,
just OF the hotel Brighton.
A heavy sea was running, and the long
| ground swell rolling up all along the
Jersey coast was so powerful that the
| life savers decided that it would be i'm
practicable to launoh their big life boat
until the sea went down to some extent
Preparations were at once begun for
opening communication with the vessel,
however.
The life line apparatus was hauled
down to the edge of the water and shot
with life line attached was fired out
| into the fog where the dim outline of
| the vessel could be barely distinguished.
The first shot went directly across the
decks of the big steamer. The men Oh
board hauled in the line hand over hand
| until they had dragged the end Of u haw-
ser fastened to the line by the life savers.
Upon the signal from the steamship
that all was made fast, the life savers
sent out the breeches buoy TO the vessel
The big fog whistles of the st. Paul had
| been kept going at intervals during the
night.
| Shortly before she went ashore the fog
WAS SO dense that the whistles were kept
going almost continuously. The noise
not only had the effect of keeping the
| passengers awake, but many of them
were on deck when the vessel struck the
bar. She had been kept going at low
rate of speed, and the shock when she
| grounded was q comparatively gentle one
| Immediately after she struck the passen-
| gers were all summoned to the decks
where they were notified of the accident
and were told that the vessel was in dan

was carried on In the forward part Of the
vessel, out of sight of the passengers, who
were not informed OF the work of the
