from the sunken steamer assisted
us, and we jettisoned some thirty
six tons of cargo from our fore
hold in order to tighten the ship.
At about 3 p. m. another steamer
hove in sight, bound westward.
We put up our signals N. c.
want assistance). Shortly after
steamer bore down toward us.
She proved to be the Grecian,
bound from Glasgow to New York.
The captain Of the Grecian agreed
to take the passengers on board
and also agreed to tow my ship to
Halifax. Owing to the condition Of
my ship, accepted the offer and
proceeded at once to transMp the
passengers and get ready our tow
line. At p. m. we had made a
connection and proceeded in tow Of
the Grecian toward Halifax, hav-
ing but a sail over the broken bow
to take part of the strain of the
collision bulkhead. There was at
that time IA feet of water in the
forepeak."
Mrs. Henderson, wife of the cap
tain, was on board the Cromarty-
shire with her two children. She
tells a thrilling story Of the terri
be experience. The weather was
foggy and she had risen from her
bunk at an early hour, as was her
custom when the weather was
thick. Shortly before the vessels
came together she detected a steam
er's whistle blowing on the port
side of the vessel The Cromarty-
shire was sounding her fog horn
at intervals OF one minute. Mrs.
Henderson called the attention. of
her husband to the sounding of the
whistle and a minute later the
mate, who was on the watch, also
detected the sound. 1t came nearer
and nearer, and Mrs. Henderson
stood near the cabin In order to
rescue her children should a dis
aster occur. Suddenly the hugh
hull of an ocean steamer doomed
up in the mist going about II knots
an hour. Almost Immediately there
was a fearful crash and Mrs. Hen
derson rushed below and found her
children awakened by the shock
She dressed the little ones as quick
ly as possible and removed them to
the deck, expecting to see her own
ship go down any minute Cap
tain Henderson, as soon as the col
lision occurred, ordered the boats
to be lowered and the damage to be
ascertained. AS it was found that
rho CrOua rtyshjre was in no imna.
diate danger, the Britisher put
about. The vessel with which they
had collided was at that time I'M
known. A few minutes later her
whistle was heard and several
rockets were sent up. Captain
Henderson replied in like manner,
thinking the steamer was offering
assistance, but in few minutes all
was quiet and those on board began
to realize the awful results Of the
collision.
At $50 the fog lifted and two
boats were seen approaching with
only men on board. Later the
weather cleared still more and men
were to be seen in every direction

A DESPERATE SITUA|
Lamentations Over the National
and Recriminations Take the
Enthusiasm Aroused by Mislead
patches.

Madrid, July 5.-Tuesday Even
ing, via Frontier. July 6.-The en-
thusiasm aroused by the mislead-
ing dispatches to the Spanish gov
eminent from Cuba is changed to-
day into the wailings of the fam
lilies of the victims and lamenta-
tons over the national disaster.
The ministers are crestfallen and
are still concealing the worst.
The extremity of despair, rage
and recrimination prevail among
the population and the authorities
are adopting strong precautions,
fearing popular outbreaks.
Martinez de Campos has been
foremost in the endeavors to pre-
vent disturbances.
A government crisis is imminent
and it is regarded as probable that
Senior Silvela or Marshal Martinez
DE Campos will succeed Senior Sa-
gasta as premier and propose peace
in order to prevent tho Americans
from attacking seaboard cities Of
the peninsula and running shipping.
The palace is strongly guarded
and the queen regent, who is de-
scribed as being inconsolable, is
receiving the sympathy of the SEN
sible portion of the population.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
grave forebodings are heard as to
the future of Spain.
The tone Of the general public
may be summed up in the remark
frequently heard: God alone knows
what will happen"
The queen is greatly afflicted and
did not leave her room throughout
yesterday.
The Spanish governments decis-
ion to continue the war is pub
lished and it is added that the
Americans need 100000 men to
continue the operations in Cuba it
being alleged here that the co-ope-
rations of the insurgents is practi-
cally nil.

Halifax, N. S., July 6.-The Brit
ish iron steamer Cromartyshire
was towed in here this morning
by the Allan liner Grecian with
her bow torn away by collision,
sixty miles south of Sable Island,
with the French steamer La Bour-
\ gogne, which latter vessel went
1own ten minutes later. Of the
six hundred passengers and crew
on board the La Bourgogne, only
two hundred were saved. One wo-
man was saved by her husband.
The captain and other deck Off
GERS went down with the ship. The
Croma-tyshire laid to and picked
up the two hundred passengers
and seamen who were rescued,
transporting them to the Grecian,
which came along shortly after
wards.
The log Of the Cromartyshire,
signed by Captain Henderson, is
as follows:
ION July 4, at a. M, dense fog,
position of ship, sixty miles south
of Sable Island; ship by wind on
the port tack heading about w.
N. W., though under reduced can
vas, going about four or five knots
per hour. Our fog horn was be-
ing kept going regularly every min
ute, At that time heard a steamers
whistle on our weather side Or port
beam, which seemed to be nearing
very fast. We blew horn and were
when all of a sudden she doomed
through the fog on our port bow
and crashed into us, going at ter
rife speed. Our foretopmast and
main topgallant mast came down,
bringing with it yards and every
thing attached. l Immediately Or
dered the boats out and went to
examine the damage. / found that
our bows were completely cut off
and that the plates were twisted
into every conceivable shape.
The other skip disappeared
through the fog. However, our
ship was floating on her collision
bulkhead, so there seemed no i'm
mediate danger of her sinking.
We set to work Immediately to
clear the wreckage and also ship
our starboard anchor, which was
hanging over the starboard bow
and in danger of punching holes
in the bow. We heard a steamer
blowing her whistle on coming
back, and we answered with our
fog horn. The steamer then threw
up rockets and fired several shots,
but we neither saw nor heard any
thing more of the steamer. Shortly
after, or about $50, the fog lifted
somewhat and we saw two boats
pulling toward us with the French
flag flying. We signalled them to
come alongside and found that the
steamer was the La Bourgogne.
from New York for Havre, and
that she had gone down. We held
