ADMIRAL BUNCE'S S0UADRON.
A Report of the Damage by the Storm
Sent to the Navy Department

Washington, Feb. 1o-Admiral Bunce
has sent the navy department Captain
Crowinshields statement of the events
of last Saturday when the officers and
men of the battleship Maine strove to
rescue their fellows swept overheard by
huge seas.
Captain Crowinshield says that on
the morning of the 9Th inst. while the
ship was in latitude 34O5 north and
longitude 75.42 west, and a heavy sea
raging, sea swept over the deck and
washed overheard Charles Hassel, gun
ner's mate, third class, and Leonard G..
Rogel, apprentice, second class, who
We're securing a grating.
Both life Duoys were let go, the en-
gines stopped, the starboard engine
backed up, and the lifeboat was lower
ed, Naval Cadet Gherardi taking COM
mand. Before the boat was lowered
William j. Creelman, landsman. jump
ed overheard in an attempt to rescue
Rogel. Creelman swan well, but was
unable to reach Rogel, who sank. Has
sci reached a buoy and on seeing Creel-
man swan toward him. The lifeboat
was unable to do more than take care
of itself, and the sea was so tremendous
that it was in great danger of being
swamped. The swivel for the steering
gear broke and the boat was nearly
half filled with water. The weather
had become thick with a heavy rain.
1t became necessary to manoeuvre the
ship to save the men in the boat. The
ship had to be turned through the
trough of the sea to reach the boat.
While turning the ship rolled heavily,
water was taken on board over the tops
of the turrets, and one sea swept over
board John Brown, seaman, and Axel
D. Nelson, private, United States Ma
rine Corps
With the exception of Naval Cadet
Knepper, who threw grating to Mel
son and boy, who thought he saw
Brown dead in the water, no one says
that these men were seen after being
washed overheard.
The lifeboat was brought under the
lee quarter and all of her crew taken
out. 1t was impossible to recover the
boat She was towed astern for time,
but broke adrift and was lost. After
saving the boats crew the ship was
headed for the men on the buoy. They
were soon sighted, and after manoeuv-
ring the ship for time they were haul
ed aboard in an almost helpless condi-
tion.
The captain recommends Creelman
for a life-saving medal of the first class
in recognition of his gallantry on this
occasion. Naval Cadet Gherardi
showed courage and able seamanship.
The cadet commends Percy Herbert,
coxswain. for courage and resourceful-
ness as coxswain of the lifeboat.

Montreal, Feb, 10.-J.. K. McCulloch
of Winnipeg, Man, is now the undis-
puted worlds amateur champion skat-
er The 5000 metre race in which Nc
Culloch came in first, but which was
disputed owing to mistake in counting
laps, was, after several postponements,

gerOus antagonist, who came in a. good
second on the last occasion, was feel
ing too unwell to skate and McCulloch
had practically a walk-over. The only
entries in addition to McCulloch were

wilson, and A. Lee. Montreal. David

PLAGUE AND FAMINE IN INDIA.
Condition of the Stricken People Constant
ly Growing Worse.

Boston. Feb. 1O,-The American
Board has received a letter from Miss
Anna L. Millard, dated Wal, Satara
district, India, in which she said that
ever since the plague broke out it has
been steadily on the increase, and it
has such a hold upon the city that it
people are panic stricken and 100000 at
least are said to have left the city.
accommodate the crowds seeking to
escape the plague. There are about 200
deaths daily, though the official govern
ment report is much smaller. The
reason for this is that though the death
rate is abnormal the people are so op-
posed to segregation that they conceal
cases in their houses and when death
occurs report them as simple fever
cases.
Shops, offices, colleges, schools and
whole bazaars are closed until trade is
almost paralyzed Some one recently
said that it would probably take years
IOi tilc Slly u ISCONGI us lOlIlleI pIOS-
perity. The ignorant and superstitious
have, from the first, rebelled against
every effort of the health officials and
the municipal committee in trying to
carry on segregation and the strict en-
forcement of sanitary rules. Through
the credulity of the people the priests
are reaping rich harvests. The Bonn
bay Gazette of December so contains
the following:
"Pundit SWaroopdas wires to us from
Shikarpur-T undertake to free Bonn
bay of it's plague if goat flesh, fish and
liquor is supplied to me for sacrificial
purposes in quantities sufficient to
equal approximately a days consump-
tion in Bombay. We further condition
that no slaughter of larger animals
(meaning of course cows) should take
place on the day the sacrifice is offered
am ready to leave for Bombay on in
timation. I require neither remunera-
tion nor travelling expenses ;"
No doubt hundreds will be deceived
by this man, to whom they will give
everything he asks. A dozen new mis-
sionaries would not be too many to send
into this Marathi mission. The town
from which l now write, Wal, is a
bigoted Brahminical center where the
influence of medical missionary would
be untold. '

AT TRINITY EPfSCOPdL CHURCH.
Address by Rev. DIR. Currie of Baltimore,
Last Evening.

Rev. c. George Currie, D. D., of Bal
timore spoke before the church club in
Trinity church last evening on "The
Development of the Christian Religion"
to large audience. He discussed the
four questions of the seeming savagery
of the people of the Old Testament, the
seeming partiality of God for the He
brew people, the seeming simplicity of
Christ's teachings as compared with
the creeds and the problem of the
resurrection.
He said the coming of Christ had
been foreshadowed in heather nations
as well as in the Israelitish nation, and
cited in support of this view Plato and
Buddha.
The Christian religion has been nat
ural development eliminating in Christ.
What we have of Christ is simply faith
but we need explanation to satisfy our
intellects and these explanations con-
stitute our creeds and theologies.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION.
A COnfiagration in Gunsmith's Shou
Caused Heavy Damage.

Caused Heavy Damage.
Boston, Feb. 10.-The building Nos. II
and Is Cornhill and "A Brattle streets.
most of which was occupied by William
r. Schaeffer & Sons, gunsmiths, was
wrecked by fire and explosions of pow-
der tonight. About 7:3O James Fitz-
simmons, head clerk at the Quincy
house, almost opposite the wrecked
building, heard a light explosion and
saw burst of flames from the build
ing. He rang an alarm and just as the
firemen reached the front of the build
ing the powder chest, in which was
stored probably $50 pounds of powder,
ends Of the building and carrying burn
ing materials across Cornhill and Brat
tie streets.
The large show windows in the fur
niture store of A. Macarthur & Co. and
F. J. Swan, wall paper dealer, on Corn
hill street, and Leopold Morse & Co.,
on Brattle street, were blown in and
the contents set one fire, but the flames
were quickly mastered. The second
explosion was followed by great rush
of flames upward, and an incessant
discharge of cartridges, like the fire Of
fllSS, lolloWSu lOI AedIly leH
minutes. During this time the firemen
were standing in front of the building
on Cornhill street, directing several
streams of water into the burning
building, and several were struck by
spent balls, but no one was seriously
hurt.
The explosions broke the glass in
buildings for several blocks, and the
damage from this cause alone will be
very great. The fire was confined to
the building in which it originated, and
this was practically gutted. The large
powder chest in the adjoining building
of the John P. Lowell Arms company
was safely removed.
The damage to the various buildings
and their contents will probably be at
least $780, 900. of which amount 5000 is
on plate glass. 1t will take like
amount for repairs to Schaeffer's build
ing and $4,000 to cover damage to
stock. The cause of the fire could not
be learned.
