AMEsBURY, Mass, Feb. 10.-The
Florida, coal laden, went to pieces at
10 p. m., letting the crew of seven into
the sea. Two of the bodies were
washed ashore, one that of mulatto.
The lifesaving crew could do nothing,
as no boat could stand the sea- The
vessel hailed from Belfast, Me. She
struck the sandbar near where the
schooner Jennie M. Carter was wrecked
year ago. Big bonfires were built on
the beach and attempts made by fisher
to reach the fated schooner Bombs
with line attached, thrown by the life
saving crew, were not caught by the
men on the Florida who were in q be-
numbed condition Five of them were
on the mizzen mast, one ON the main
mast and the other on the bowsprit.
During the evening matches and por-
tions of the Florida's rigging came
ashore. A portion of the life saving
crew will patrol the beach on watch
for other bodies. Several hundred peo-
pie saw the wreck go to pieces.

CATRON AFTER THORNTON.
He Charges the Governor With Aiding
Dan Stuart.


Dan Stuart.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - Delegate
Catron of New Mexico is greatly dis
pleased at the impression which has
been formed that he has acted under
the direction of the governor in his
efforts to prevent prize fighting in the
territory. Mr.. Catron not only denies
that he has received the governors CO.
operation, but makes the direct charge
that Governor Thornton abetted Dan
Stuart in his efforts to bring off the
fight. Mr.. Catron said:
"The statement has been published
substantially that the action taken by
me on the prize fighting bill was on the
advice and at the request of Governor
Thornton. Governor Thornton never
consulted with me, never advised me-
nor requested me to do anything in re-
gard to that bill.
From information which l have re-.
ceived from New Mexico, believe that
Governor Thornton, while pretending
that he would like to stop the fight,
was actually acting in collusion with
Dan Stuart in order to have the fight
come off, had advised Stuart that there
was no law in New Mexico which
would enable him or the au-
thorities to stop the fight
and substantially informed Stuart that
the fight might go on, although he
could not openly consent. AS soon as
the bill had been signed the officials
here telegraphed the United States at
torney in New Mexico to see that the

THE FIGHT SITUATION
Officials Of Two Countries Ar
irving at FL PaSo to Pre-
vent the Mills.
Mexican Boundary at Juarez
Patrolled by a Force Of a
Thousand Men.
Despite These Preparations
Stuart Insists the Events
Will Occur.

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb l0.-Bob Fitz-
simmons and Peter Maher will meet in
the ring in spite of official action and
there is strong probability that several
of the other carnival events will take
place. Dan Stuart so declares, and the
preparations are making as though no
bar had been placed upon the events
The only effect of the action at
Washington has been to make the pro-
moter and his associates more secretive
as to the plans. At midnight much of
the paraphernalia for the mills was
taken from this city. Great care was
taken to keep the matter quiet. The
material presumably went across the
border into Mexico at point north of
here.
Adjutant General Mabey of Texas
galloped into the city during the morn
ing at the head of company of IL
Texas Rangers Their arrival caused a
stir until it became known that the OBJ
ject of their visit was to see that the
fights did not take place on Texas soil.
The fights may take place at any time,
although they are not likely to be
brought off for at least AZ hours.
The New Mexico border is protected
by posse of deputy sheriffs. At
Juarez, Mex, there are five companies
of Mexican infantry, two of the compa-
nies having been transferred to the
Juarez barracks within the past 10
