SHIP BURNED WHEN ALMOST
WITHIN PORT.
Vessel Bound From San Francisco to
New York, Caught Fire Near
Beach Haven and Run Ashore
The Crew Saved.

Beach Haven, May 9.-The full rugged
ship Francis. of New Bedford, 112 days
from San Francisco for New York,

hold while off this coast yesterday
afternoon. She was headed for the
beach, where. she struck at o'clock
last night five miles from this place
Her captain and crew were safely
landed by the Little Egg Harbor life
saving crew. She will prove TO be a
total loss Efforts are being made to
save some of her cargo.
The captain and crew reached shore
safely and were taken care OF by the
crew of the Little Egg Harbor life
saving station The vessel was burned
to the waters edge and the cargo will
prove a total loss.
The fire was first discovered about
o'clock in the afternoon and was burn
ing fiercely in the hold. All hands were
ordered on deck and the pumps man
ned to extinguish the flames, but they
had gained too much Roadway and II
was as much as the men could do TO
prevent the fire from spreading so
rapidly as to necessitate their taking to
the boats on the open sea.
The captain saw that his only hope
Law in reaching the shore where he
could possibly have a chance of saving
the ship and part of the cargo With
this end in view he headed the Francis
towards the beach. while the crew kept
pouring water in the hold. 1t was well
after dark and the position of the men
on board was perilous in the extreme
With her bow pointed well on the shore
the snip struck hard and fast
Meanwhile the fire was raging even
more furiously than before and all
hands were forced to leave with
nothing but the clothes on their backs.
They were assisted in reaching shore
by the life guards and were supplied
with needed clothing and nourishment.
Today the tugs /. j. Merritt and North
America arrived and endeavored TO put
out the fire. They were unable TO &C
complish anything and finally gave up.
The captain and mate left on one OF
the tugs for New York and the crew
will go by train on Tuesday.
Captain Smiths wife died at sea on
the outward trip of the ship. He had
the body embalmed and sent home by
train. 1t awaits his arrival in Boston.
The Francis is a full rugged ship OF
1874 tons burden. She was out IL days
and experienced no unusual weather
throughput the voyage. The origin of
the fire is unknown

members of the associations and the
tracks on which the races are held. The
announcement occasioned no surprise
among. the riders here as it has been
felt from the start that the league
must take such action to be at all con-
sstent. With the associated clubs in
charge it has practically no effect The
wholesale suspension of riders will not
change the situation. The association
will continue on in the even tenor of
its way and the officials expect TO

forward TO for some time and betting
is about even on the result. Both men
will enter the ring carefully trained for
a hard encounter In anticipation of a
severe contest with Smith. Choynski

at Newdorp. s. L., and has developed
quite a knowledge of rough tactics.
Smith has been training at Sleeps
head bay under the direction of Pete
Burns, who prepared Peter Maher for
all his fights.
Dan Lynch, manager of Sharkey,
gave some interesting information to-
day regarding the Maher Sharkey bout.
He said the articles of agreement pro-
vide that the bout is to take place in
New York between the first and tenth
of June for purse of $4,000. offered
by William A. Brady. Brady has posted
e. 81. 800 forfeit and in case he wants to
bring off the bout in New York city
the $4,000 is TO he equally divided be-
tween the two pugulists. Jimmy Col
vile of Boston, who was the time
keeper in the t-Fitzsimmons
bout, has been selected TO act as refe-
rec. Lynch says Brady will bring off
the bout either at Manhattan Field,
Manhattan beach or in the Palace
Athletic club.

The Little Demon" Outmaneuvered
at San Francisco.
San Francisco, May 9.-The bicycle
races at the velodrolne today were well
attended. but the sport was rather
tame. and with the exception of the two
thirds mile professional, failed to
arouse enthusiasm on the part of the
spectators. !.
The final of this event resulted in
spirited contest. Zeigler was the first
lowed by Jones and Davis. The latter
two by clever meneuvering succeeded
in dislodging the Little Demon from
the coveted position on the fifth lap,
and before the latter could straighten
himself out for the final spring, Jones
and his team mate were a dozen yards
in advance of him. Jones won by two
lengths. while Davis Just lasted long
enough to beat Zeigler for the place.
The two-mile post race, professional.
proved a farce. Zeigler easily secured
the first four points, but Jones and
Davis resorted to team work and as a
result Davis secured a lead of fully half
a lap. 1t was practically impossible to
catch him at this stage. and he secured
the remaining six points and the race.

United States Warship on Her Way
to Honduras.

Washington, May 9.-The interests OF
United States citizens at Puerto Cor
tez, the seat of the revolution now IN
progress in Honduras, will be looked
after by the United States cruiser
Marblehead. The vessel is now on her
way there from Key West, orders nav

yesterday afternoon to proceed at once
These orders were issued at the re-
quest of the state department offlcials,
who felt that the United States should
be represented in those waters by a
warship, so that if occasion should
arise there might be no delay in al
fording the necessary protection to cltl-

GREEKS CHEER THE SULTAN.

Volo. May 9.-The correspondent OF the
Associated Press. describing the entry of
the Turkish troops saws: E,dhem PaSha
sent a flag of truce with proclamation
that he would protect all inhabitants re-
manning in the town. A touching scene
ensued. In the principal street an I'M
mense crowd gathered with anxious, up
turned faces. listening eagerly to the
reading of the proclamation which was
to decide their fate.
When the reading was finished muir
muir of intense relief was heard through
out the dense throEg. quickly followed
by frantic shouts of Long live the
sultan.
But there still remained cause for the
most serious anxiety. for the question
then was whether the Greek admiral.
whose ships were lying. off the town and
in plain sight, would accept Edhem
Pasha's terms. A single gun shot from
the fleet would have compelled the Turks
to treat Volo as hostile.
Three newspaper men. myself among
them. were appointed a deputation to go
on board the flagship and get the ad-
mircI.s reply. We bore a white flag AT
the quay however. we met the captains
of the foreign warships with a written
communication from the admiral, saying
that he intended TO remain in front of
the town until assured that II would be
occupied quietly.
To this the Turkish commander replied
that only one battalion would enter, the
main army going into camp outside, and
he again requested that the Greek fleet
be withdrawn. otherwise he could not be
responsible for what might occCr.
