Thrilling Tales.

two Horses Are Thrown Over
board-A Marrow Escape.

Liverpool. March 1.-THE British
steamer Lake Winnipeg, from St. John,
N. B., Feb. IA. arrived here today,
having consumed % days on the voy-
age. Her commander, Captain Taylor,
reports having had one of the rough
est voyages in his experience. The
heavy seas, which washed over the
ship, partly filed her engine rooms with
water, and shifted her cargo, making
1t necessary to call the passing steam
ers to help remove the water and right
the vessel. For more than two weeks
the ships fires were out, and owing to
the scarcity of drinking water and the
failure of the condensers to work, it
became necessary to throw overheard
SO7 head of cattle, "A sheep and %
horses.
The officers and crew of the Lake
Winnipeg, as well as the passengers, of
whom there were u on board, agree
that the ship narrowly escaped founder
ing, and it was with the utmost diff
Guilty that the great quantities of
water which flooded the ship as the
seas broke over her. and put out her
fires. were kept within the limits of
safety to the vessel.

Doesn't Care fer Relatives.

Athens. March liking George au-
thorizes the United Associated Presses
to state that he does not expect, nor
has he at any time since the trouble
arose expected. either advice or aid
from his relatives upon or near the
thrones of Europe, but relies entirely
upon the justice of Greece's cause.
The king admitted to the representa-
tive of the United Associated Presses
that he had expected the most from
the Prince of Wales, whose wife is the
kings sister, and advised him to infiu
ence the recall of Sir A. Billotti, the
British consul at Canea. But his ma
jesty admitted Billotti was a titled
parsonage, and was enabled to spread
official lies concerning the troubles in
the island of Crete, which found ready
believers.
King George further said that the
marvellous mobilization of the Greek
fleet had provoked the jealousy of the
powers

URUGUAYAN REBELS.
They Have Captured the Town of
San Jose-Still Seeking Con-
quests.

New York, March 1.-THE Herald s
special cable from Buenos Ayres says:
Advices from Montevideo, Uruguay,
say there is a report there that the
Uruaguayan rebels have captured the
town of San Jose. There has been a
mutiny in the Careim garrison. though
the result of it is not yet known in
MOntevideo.
1t is announced by the government
authorities that a battle with the revo-
lutionists is imminent and preparations
are being made to that end. One of
fetal train has been detained by the
rebels and considerable fear has arisen
throughout Uruguay. AS a result
there is an exodus and many families
are leaving there.
Advices from Rio de Janeiro state
that the government has sent 10000
men to Bahia and will send three war
vessels, four quick-fire batteries and
several companies of volunteer troops
to Bahia against the fanatics.
1t is now proved that aid in the form
of money and arms has been extended
to the fanatics by the monarchists in
Brazil

All the advices from Caracas indi-

international question: solution

CoRBETT CLUB.
End of the Incident Is Not Yet In
Sight.

New Haven, Conn, March 1.-THE
end of the "Corbett club of Yale" Incl
dent is not in sight. More university
organs today officially repudiated the
action of sending the Yale flag to Cor
bett as far as Yale is concerned. The
undergraduate and alumni body are a
unit in demanding a signed. public re-
traction by the senders of the message
to Corbett.
The Yale Alumni Weekly today con-
tains an editorial which concludes:
There is no escaping the conclusion
that Yale will get, as the result of the
letter an increased reputation as
sports paradise. The sending of the
flag was a good deal worse than the
sending of the letter. Nothing can ex-
cuse or eXtenuate that act. Perhaps all
the signers were not participants in it.
From a decent standpoint of college
loyalty, it was an act of treason. We
do not know at this writing what may
be done in the way of repudiating the
act. But the mischief has been done.
In another issue we shall comment on
the reinforcement by this incident of
the demand for some protection of the
great majority from the small minor

New York. March ia special ca
bic dispatch to the sun from London
says:
The danger of war in the east has
decidedly diminished for the time be-
ing. The reason is not to be found in
the reply of Greece to the ultimatum
of the powers, as Russia, Germany
and Austria interpret this refusal to
comply with the terms of the Identical
note, and they are not in favor of an
immediate resort to the coercion which
was threatened The situation has
been completely changed, however, by
the new power, namely, public opinion
in western Europe.
The French government has been
compelled to give notice reluctantly to
its Russian ally that it cannot join 1t
in any vindictive or severe measures
against Greece while public opinion in
France remains as it now is.
Lord Salisbury would gladly give
similar notice in behalf of Great Brit
ain, but it would be received only with
suspicion and resentment. 1t is quite
different as regards France. Russia
has ample assurance that NJ. Hanoi
tauX and his colleagues would be glad
to join in the Russian policy if it was
in their power to do so, but they dare
not, in face of the opposition of par
lament and of the masses of the
French people. The most they can
do is TO request delay until an oppor-
tunity is given to change or amend
the popular mind. Great efforts are
to be made in this direction between
now and Saturday night, when the
question will be debated in tn French
chamber. It is doubtful if a safe ma
jority in favor of severe measures
against Greece can be insured.
In fact, every delay is now of the
greatest advantage to Greece, whose
cleverly designed answer to the de-
mands of the powers is disarming her
enemies in at least three nations. The
grow stronger that it will
no longer be possible to secure unani-
nous vote of the powers in favor of
her coercion. This, of course, means
more delay, more uncertainty and con-
tinued impotence, if not the dissolu-
ton of the concert of Europe. 1t
means also new dangers and &, eat
ones which already have alarmed the
government, but not the people of this !

that the action of Sir Alfred Biliotti
the British consul here, during the

desired to see him and bid him good
bye previous to his departure for ST.

tain matters in China, in which both

however he had heard that certain

Yu, and he had decided TO prolong his
visit until their arrival, or as long as
the minister might desire to consult
with him.
Mr.. Hang does not speak English, and
therefore had brought with him Vice
Consul King, who was educated at Yale
university, and has large circle of
friends in America. The consul gen
