Mallory Liner.

Thirteen Lives Lost by Fire on Board a
Mallory Liner.
New York. May 10,-The Mallory line
steamer Leona, which left her pier on
Saturday bound for Galveston. put
back and has arrived in port with d
death list totaling 13. The dead were
steerage passengers on the steamer,
who succumbed in a terrible struggle
during fire which occurred off the
Delaware capes yesterday. Those who
lost their lives were penned up
below decks, and, although fran
tic efforts were made by the officers
If the vessel to save them, the fire had
such terrific headway before the dan
ger was discovered that all escape was
out off. The steamer carried among
nOr cargo many bales of cotton. 1t is
not certain how the fire originated, but
when 1t was discovered 1t burst forth
with such fury that it was impossible
TO reach the steerage. Even then the
steerage passengers apparently were
unmindful of the danger, or else the
smoke and flames had not reached them.
The saloon passengers were first arous-
ed and in such a manner as to occasion
Nttle alarm. When 1t became apparent
that the fire had out off the steerage
passengers, the captain and his men
poured great quantities Of water down
the ventilator, and the most frantic eff
forts were made for the escape of those
penned up. In this way eight of the
steerage passengers made their es-
cape.
The following are the steerage pas
sengers who perished: Bridget Sullivan,
Mrs. B. Cotrane, Mrs. c. Guzza. daugh-
ter of Mrs. Guzza, Miss Hannah Solo
monson, sister of ]. Vlacikek, Sophie

GREECE ASKS MEDIATION.
HeIlenes Admit Defeat and Want the
Powers to Intervene.


Athens, May 1.-THE conditions of
mediation insisted upon by Germany,
the chief of which is that Greece shall
give her formal consent to the princi-
pie of autonomy for Crete, will be ac-
cepted by the Greek government.
The note of the powers has not yet
been presented, but it has been drawn
and is to the following effect:
Upon a formal declaration by Greece
that she will recall her troops and
agree to such an autonomous regime
for Crete as the powers in their wis
dom shall deem best and accept unre-
servedly the counsels of the powers
they will intervene in the interests of
peace.
1t is understood that Greece in her
reply will assent to all these condi-
tions.
NJ. Ralli, the premier, and NJ. Skou-
loudis, the minister of foreign affairs,
have had a long interview with Mr. Eg
erton, the British representative which
has caused considerable comment. 1t

pected intervention of the powers.
The recall of the forces from Crete
has been received with resignation by
the public The Delyannis organs at
tack the government bitterly for ap-
pealing to Europe, but most of the pa
pers accept this as inevitable and vio-
lently attack the Ethnike hatairia,
asking it to render an account of its
action.

The Greek Army In Peril.

London, May 11.-Apart from the
peace negotiations. the principal feature
of the Greco-Turkish situation is that
Turkey is pressing re-enforcements for
ward and preparing for a rapid ad-
vance. Unless the powers succeed in
quickly arranging a settlement the
Greeks are likely to suffer further dis
asters.
The exact disposition of the Greek
army is uncertain; but, roughly speak
ing, the first line of defense extends
from Almyros to Lucon, the second fol-
lows the old frontier, and the third is
drawn at Thermopyle. Fighting isprob-
able within the next few days unless
the powers intervene.
The Greek fleet is at Lamia, and the
transport and other services are still
deficient, while a serious outbreak of
typhoid fever and dysentery threatens
Arta.

Insurgents Growing In Numbers.

Washington, May 12.-The state de-
partment is in receipt of a report from
Consul General Lee, dated the latter
part of April. in which he deals with
the general situation In Cuba and pre-
sents all the facts at his command with
out making any recommendations as
to the policy to be pursued by this gov
srnment. In this report General Lee
states that the insurgents are not de-
creasing in numbers, but that, accord
ing to the most trustworthy informa-
tion at hand and to all appearances,
there are more of them now than when
he went to the island.
He explains, the apparent want of or
ganization by the statement that it is
against the Cuban policy to conduct the
war after the accepted modern ideas on
this point.
The Cubans believe they can be most
effective by pursuing their present
method General Lee also dwells upon
the condition of affairs in the island.

Havana, May pa raid was made
on Casqua, in Havana province, on Fri
day, and the Jail was broken open. Fiji
teen prisoners who had been kept there
long while were liberated. There were
seven women and eight men. Among
the men were two insurgent officers
who had been sentenced to be shot on
Saturday.
At the Jail the insurgents found a
little boy aged years who had bsen
imprisoned over six months in the vile
place simply because he had worn a
Cuban flag on his shirt waist one day.
The boy was emaciated and could hard
ly stand when taken out.
A letter has been received here from
General Ducassa. He reports that on
the outskirts of Pinar del Rio City he
encountered a large force of Spanish
cavalry, and a running fight of sew
eral hours duration ensued. The Span
ish force retreated toward the forts. A
part of Ducassa's force got between
them and the forts, and a most deter
mined fight followed. The Spanish cav
airy charged again and again upon the
insurgents, but they were we'll posted
and the Spanish could not make any
headway. The Spanish were cooped UP
in depression between hills and were
exposed to a most CALLING fire from the
insurgents.
Spaniards Sent to the Rescue.
The firing attracted the attention OF
Pinar del Rio city. and 500 Spanish were
sent to the rescue. These attacked the
smallest band of insurgents and opened
a way for the imperiled Spanish to es-
cape. Notwithstanding the Spanish
forces greatly outnumbered the Cubans
they did not offer to renew the fight
but retreated in hot haste. 1t is said
that their loss was 100 or more. Large
quantities of arms and 65 dead bodies
were found on the field.
General Weyler is reported to have
had a narrow escape in the western
part of the island recently When leav-
ing San Juan with smaller escort than
usual, Cuban squadron of cavalry at
tackled them, and nothing but feet
horses saved them. 1t is said that Wey-
Ter had a half hours ride for life and
that he was very much chagrined at
this incident after his reports of pacif-
cation in that part of the island.

INC Baroness, Career In Sam Francisco.


San Francisco, May 1.-THE cable
gram from Jennie Young, who now
calls herself Jeannine Won Turkheim,
was the first authentic tidings from the
woman since she left here a month ago,
on the day of her hurried marriage,
and also the first information that her
husband, who had valuable papers in
the Fair case, was about to desert her.
The woman was for seven years the
common law wife of d. NJ. Delmas,
leading counsel for Mrs. Nettie r. Cra-
ven. in her opposition to the heirs of
James G. Fair. The lawyer and the
woman quarreled, and about three
months ago he secured warrants for her
arrest. charging malicious mischief in
breaking and defacing articles in his
office, which she held in a state of siege
fer two days and nights. At this time
she took from letter files and cabinets
several documents and destroyed 9TH
ers.
The charge against the woman was
never pressed, and on April 10 she went
to Oakland and was married there by
the Rev. E. 8. Chapman to Baron Rob-
ert Ludwig Won Turkheim," whose ac-
quaintance she had made two weeks
before. The day after the ceremony it
trRnspired that the bridegroom was Won
Arnold, a detective in the employ of a
private agency. On the day of the we'd
ding the couple, accompanied by Lit
tie Del. Jennie Young's child, and by
her called d. NJ. Delmas Jr., left for the
east via Ogden.
Requisition papers for Won Arnold's
arrest reached the secretary of state at
Sacramento on the same day from Ken
lucky, where the bogus baron was
wanted to answer several charges of
crime.
The governor, however refused to
sanction the further progress of the pa
pers. On April 90 word came from Mon
treal that Arnold and his companions
had reached that city, and two days
later they were in Halifax.
The party sailed for England. arriving
in London on April 27. Though the his
tory of the couple was well known, the
woman was kept in ignorance Of her
husbands real character and believed
him to be baron.
Mr.. Delmas has persistently refused
to talk of the matter. IT is intimated
that he-will claim that the woman was
trying TO blackmail him and threaten
ing to further disgrace him. He denies
that the detective who has worked up
the Fair case had any other business on
the trip east with Won Turkheim and
his wife than to look out for the well
fare of Little Del. Mr.. Delmas also de-
nies that the woman ever had any pa
pers relative to the Fair case that
would compromise Mrs. Craven.
The police here will not act in the
matter, but w. H. Hutton, an attorney
who represented the woman in her
troubles with Mr.. Delmas. says that
funds will be sent her to pay her way
home. 1t is stated that one of the rea-
sons why Delmas wanted to get the
woman out of the country was that she
was about to sue him for damages, al
leging that he had struck her on the
temple with a broken wineglass.
