The MohegAn Horror.

1t will take an official inquiry to
fix the responsibility for the wreck
OF the Mohegan. The vessel struck
on what is known as the Manacies,
about twenty FIVE miles east Of
Lands End, and sank within FIVE
minutes, over one hundred OF her
passengers and crew perishing.
Although the night was clear
and the shore visible, there was no
warning. The vessel was out OF
her course, and the officers were
evidently ignorant Of her perilous
situation.
Those whose negligence caused
this terrible disaster went down
with the ship. The captain stood
at his post giving orders looking
to the clearing of the life boats and
the rescue OF the passengers.
The action OF the crew was in
striking contrast to the conduct Of
the towards that manned the
Bourgogne. They o9eyed orders
implicitly. made no attempt to
crowd into the boats, and rendered
every assistance possible to the
panic stricken passengers.
The terror OF the women and
children was pitiiul. Their shrieks
Of anguish could be heard on the
shore. 1t was one Of the worst oI
ocean disasters. Out Of IS4
people, comprising passengers and
crew, not more than fifty were
saved.

effect Mckinley officially states that the

be governed by carpet baggers from
Ohio. To carry out this idea Mckinley
intends to make an awful sacrifice of

Sc, 600 soldiers to fight the yellow fever.
All surgeons agree that in one year this
entire army of 10000 will be in the hos
pital or in the grave--a crime that must
be atoned for. Gomez, surrounded by
his faithful troops looking on and wait
