The Wreck of
Mohegan.
TIL NUMBER DEAD.
Out of l6l Passengers on
Board Is Escaped.

st. Keverine, Oct. 15.--In the lower
end of the church here lie Is bodies,
among them those of four women and
one 12year-old girl, the victims of the
i'll -fated Michigan. The faces Of the
victir1s present a sad sight, showing
how rudely the waves and rocks played
with their features. The whole viii
lage and neighborhood are alive with
excitement, and knots of men linger
about, talking with the rescued mem
bers of the crew.
1t is exceedingly difficult to trace the
events Of the steamers disaster. but so
far as can be ascertained, it seems that
the weather was not thick but that a
strong southeast wind was blowing, and
that there was heavy ground swell
on and a strong current running
Dinner was ready, and Capt Grifiths
was about to proceed to the saloon,
when a sudden crash made it apparent
that the steamer had gone ashore. The
captain Immediately went on deck, and
the survivors say they saw him on the
bridge doing all that lay in the power
OF brave man to lessen the disaster.
Authentic particulars of the events
occurring after the Mohegan struck are
not yet obtainable. 1t seems, however,
that one of the ships boats, containing
several women, got away safely, but
was capsized. A number of it's occu-
pants were rescued by lifeboats. An
other boat with six others was picked
up by a lifeboat and safely
got ashore and two or three other per-
sons managed to reach land
Out of the 161 passengers on board,
40 escaped. Up to a late hour tonight,
about 80 bodies have been washed
ashore at different points. A souther-
ly wind is now blowing, and it is eA-
pected that the bodies Of many more
victims will be recovered by tomor-
row. An inquest will be held on Mon
day.
The rescued passengers are receiving
the greatest attention from the inhan-
itants and the utmost kindness is be-
ing shown to the female passengers.
A. G. L. Smith, who was among those
known to have been saved, says his
home is in Oregon. In conversation
with the representative of the Asso-
ciated Press, Mr.. Smith said this eve
ming that he saw the captain on the
bridge giving orders, which were car
ried out as far as possible. AS the ship
sank, the captain ran along the side
and sprang overheard. The vessel
lurehed and the passengers all seemed
same moment. Mr. Smith who is a
strong swimmer, managed to get
through the mass of people in the wa
ter and succeeded in evading several
who tried to clutch him, as he passed
them. He says he swan for three
hours and a half before he reached the
shore.

EXPELLED FROM FRANCE.
Newspaper Mans Punishment for Report
Ing an Alleged Military Conspiracy.

Paris. Oct. 15.-Signor Mazzini, cor
respondent of the II Corriere Della Sera
Of Milan, has been expelled from
France for telegraphing to his paper
that two generals have been arrested
and imprisoned in the alleged military
conspiracy
The Temps publishes general order
to the troops issued by Gen. Zurlinden,
military governor of Paris on Oct. 8, de-
claring that it is the duty of the army
to assume respect for law and the de-
cisions of the government. The Temps
thinks this disposes Of the attempt to
connect Gen. Zurlinden with the al
legged plots. According to the Soir, the
cabinet today asked eight generals
whether they desired the prosecution of
the newspapers publishing stories of the
conspiracy. All of the generals, the Soir
says declined TO take the initiative.

later she anxiously inquired for her
mother, whose body was identified by
the vicar of st. Keverine from the de-
scription of ring furnished to him by
the daughter. One of Mrs. Grandin's
feet was torn from the leg.
From the best evidence obtainable at
st. Keverine, it appears that the Mo-
hogan foundered five minutes after she
struck the rocks. She was going at full
speed, struck twice, stopped and rap
idly settled into the water. AS the cap
tain and the executive officers of the
steamer went down with her it has been
impossible, thus far, to ascertain how
she got out Of her course, as Falmouth
light and the coast were visible.
