The Washingtonians.

Among the names OF those IN the
first cabin list OF the ill-iated steamer
are those of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony
Pollok of this city. They are
among the best-known residents of
Washington, and the very fact that
their fate is yet in doubt will bring
distress to a very wide circle of
friends. They live in a handsome
house at the southwest corner Of
18TH and | streets.
Mr.. Pollok is the senior member
of the law firm of Pollok & Mauro,
and is man of great means.
Mr.. Philip Mauro of the firm Of
Pollok & Mauro told Star reporter
this morning that on Saturday last
he saw Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony Pol
lok off on the La Bourgogne. They
had planned to stay abroad three
months, intending to spend most of
the time in Paris, where members of
their family are,
Inquiry at the Office of the French
line steamship company at No. 02I
PENNSYLVANIA avenue showed that two
passengers on La Bourgogne
bought their tickets here, but it is
not known whether Washington is
their home They are Miss f. D.
Vallette and Mrs. G. Bourquin,
neither of whose names appear in
the city directory.
The Vessels Officers.
NEW YORK, July Ola Bour-
gogne was built in 1886 at La Seyne.
She was a four-masted, ship-rigged
screw steamer, of 1896 tons gross
register, and of 5000 horse power.
She was 4o4.5 feet long, had 52.2
feet beam and was 346 feet deep.
She was built OF steel and iron, had
twelve water-tight compartments
and carried water ballast.
The officers of La Bourgogne
were:
Deloncle, commander.
Dupont (Fr.), second captain.
Pichard, first officer.
Delinge, second officer.
Rernpler, third officer.
Dalido, chief engineer.
Brissac (Ch), second engineer.
Gautier, third engineer.
Laisne, fourth engineer.
Durand, purser.
Scol, assistant purser.
DR.. Delpech, surgeon.
La Bourgogne was in collision be-
FORE She collided with the steam
ship Alisa near New York on Feb
ruary 20, 1896. No lives were then
lost.
Since the outbreak of the war with
Spain SO many of the regular trans
Atlantic steamers have been laid off
or taken ior the service of the United
States or Spain that the French
steamers have shared the bulk of the
traffic with the German liners, a fact
that accounts for the large passenger
list on this sailing. ~'"' ii

fully reviewing the situation. and these. il
was understood, were supplemented hy
further dispatches today. But no bulletins
were given out at the War Department or
other centers of information, and the morn
ing passed in watching and waiting for
scme official word from the front. Secre-
tary Alger, General Miles and kdjutant
General Corbin had nothing to give TO the
public.
The many public men who made their
Usual calls Of inquiry received the impress
sion that General Shafter had hard fighting
ahead of him, and that the Spanish forces
now reinforced by General Pando's men are
prepared to make desperate stand behind
their entertainments. In the absence of Off
cial information, there was only speculation
as to what the outcome would be. This had
the same bouyant tone that was inspired
by the annihilation of the Spanish feet and
the confident expressions of General Shat
ter in his several dispatches early yester-
day. Hut with no word of the surrender 1t
was apparent that General Shafter must
fight his way to final victory, and this in
the face of 4 desperate enemy, driven to
the last ditch. One senator. who talked
with the military officials, said there was
no doubt of the outcome If the American
fleet could get inside the harbor and thus
place the city between the land and sea
bombardments. But whether the fleet had
MADE such move, or would make it, was
not disclosed in any official quarter.
The arrival of Gen. Pando with reinforce
ments received careful attention from the
military authorities. This had been made
known officially by Gen. Shafter in addition
to the press reports. 1t occasioned some
comment on the course of Gen. Garcia and
his Cuban troops in not holding Pando
back, particularly in view of the fact that
Gen. Lawton's brigade was cooperating
with Garcia. At the same time the disposi-
tion of the authorities was mainly to meet
the situation now presented rather than to
question how il had come about.
