PERISH IN TIE SEA.
Appalling Loss of Human Life In the
Wreck of the Mohegan on
Lizard Point.

London. Oct. i5. = The Atlantic
Transport company's steamer Mohe-
gan, formerly the Cleopatra. of the
Wilson & Furness-Leyland line. which
left London for New York Friday with
30 passengers and a crew of 15O, is
ashore off The Lizard, between the
Manacles and the lowlands.
According to a dispatch just received
from Falmouth, out Of 200 persons con-
stituting the passengers and crew OF
the Mohegan only 81 have been saved.
A coast guard message reports that
the passengers are drowning like
rats" Another account says: Bodies
are washing ashore, one being of a
lady, lashed to e plank, with both legs
severed" Particulars as to the dis
aster are difficult to obtain. It ap-
pears that when the Mohegan struck
gale was blowing and the sea was
running high. Lifeboats put off from
The Lizard and from Falmouth, one
returning filled with passengers. Sew
eral were drowned, however. it is re-
ported, on the passage of the life
boat to the shore. Another lifeboat
saved six persons.
The coast at that point is extreme
ly dangerous and has been the scene
OF numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was a movement on foot to get
lightship placed there. but it failed.
A strong easterly gale was blowing
and the sea was running high, but the
night was clear. Presumably the yes
sells machinery broke down, for,
though the locality is dangerous, ex-
perienced mariners have no difficulty
in steering clear of the rocks by aid
of The Lizard and St. Anthony lights,
unless, of course, there is fog. The
vessel was noticed drifting, and direct
ly signals of distress were seen. A
number of tugs put out, but owing to
the heavy waves dared not approach
the liner, which was rolling heavily
and showing signs of breaking up.
The vessels back was broken, and 1t
speedily slipped off the rock and dis,
appeared. Indeed, when the Port
Houstock lifeboat returned there
were no signs Of the Mohegan. The
rock which caused the wreck is small;
of triangular shape, and is only visible
at low tide, but Manacle rock h as bell
buoy.

Serious.

Paris, Oct. 15.-It is announced here
that military plot against the gov

not surprised, having already obtained
information regarding the conspiracy.
London. Oct. 15.-The situation in
Paris is regarded in well-informed
quarters here as being more serious
than at any time since the commune.
