meriy the Cleopatra of the Wilson &
Furness-Leyland line. which left Lon
don for New York yesterday with so
passengers and a crew of $50, is ashore
of the Lizard, between the Manacles
and the Lowlands.
1t is rumored there has been a great
loss of life. A coast guard message re-
ports that the passengers are drown
ing like rats"
Another account says: Bodies are
washing ashore. one being that of a
lady Iashed to a plank. with both legs
severed"
Particulars of the disaster are diff
cult to obtain. 1t appears that when
the Mohegan struck. a gale was blow
ing and-the see-sses running high.
Life boats put OF from the Lizard
and from Falmouth. one returning filled
with passengers. Several were drowned,
however, 1t is reported, on the passage
of the life boat to the shore. Another
life boat saved six persons.
The coast at that point is extremely
dangerous and has been the scene of
numerous wrecks. Some years ago
there was a movement set on foot to
get a lightship placed there. but 1t
failed
A dispatch from Falmouth says the
Mohegan foundered and was probably
blown ashore by the heavy east wind
after her machinery was disabled. All
the Falmouth tugs went out. but none
was able to approach the vessel.
Later-A life boat has landed 30 of
the Mohegan's passengers and returned
for more. One lady died after she was
brought ashore. 1t is rumored that the
position of the Mohegan is serious, and
assistance is urgently needed.
$3.50 a. m.-According to a dispatch
just received from Falmouth, out of 200
persons constituting the passengers
and crew Of the Mohegan. only 81 have
been saved. The vessel has gone ashore
of the Lizard.
Only 81 have been saved. This INTEL
ligence was forwarded from the coast
The coast guards are watching for
bodies and wreckage. The life boats
have gone into Port Houstock.
The steamer Mohegan (then the
Cleopatra) arrived at New York on

Paris, Oct. 14.-It is announced this
morning a military plot against the
government has been discovered. The
Rappel. Aurore and Petit Republique
Francaise published almost identical
stories on the subject. 1t appears the
plot was discovered by a general hold
ing an important position. The plotters

war. General Chanoire. 1t further ap-
pears when the government was warned
OF the plot. the ministers were not sur

purpose of changing certain officials Of
the government without touching the
president.

Ing Against the Emperor Liz.
Alexandra. Egypt. Oct. 1.-THE
Alexandria police have arrested nine
Italian anarchists since last night and
have thereby frustrated q plot against
Emperor williom. now on his way to
the Holy Land. to be present at the con-
secration OF the Churcn Of the Savior
at Jerusalem. The first arrested was .
cafe keeper. a well-known anarchist,
In whose house the police Uncovered
two wire-wound bombs of great
strength and full of bullets. This ar
rest was made in consequence Of the
notification from the Italian consul gen.
eral at Cairo that two anarchists had
left Cairo for Port Said.
The police investigation showed that
the arrested cafe keeper had bribed the
steward OF a steamer sailing to-day
from Alexandria TO Port Said and
Syria to take on board a box Of bombs.
Apparently the anarchists originally
intended to use the bombs at the Pa
lais Abidin. at Cairo. while Emperor
william and the khedive were there.
When the kaiser decided not to visit
Egypt the anarchists changed their
plans and decided to attack him In
Palestine. The liveliest satisfaction Is
felt over this capture and the German
consulate has expressed its warmest
thanks. The two Cairo anarchists who
left for Port Said have not yet been
arrested.

stories published concerning the be-

bacco. The articles were published in
July and Colonel Hale says they are so
absolutely false as TO require positive
contradiction at this late date. His
statement says:
There is absolutely no foundatio
