THE WAR SITUATION.
The Black Peril Threatens. But who or
Where It WIN strike is Unknown.


London, Nov, 8.-The danger
of Basuto uprising is now ad.
mitted to be imminent and this
will effect General Buffers plan of
campaign, and may render neces-
sary the mobilization of a second
army corps. Great confidence is
felt in the personal influence of
Sir Godfrey Lagden, the British
resident in Basutoland, who pre-
vented Lerothod from assailing the
Free State at the time of the Jane
son raid. 1t is now hoped that he
can keep under restraint the para
mount and lesser chiefs. The
Basutos have a large force of
mounted warriors armed with rifles
andehighiy skilled mounted infan-
try, and they have an innate pas
sion for fighting and strong ami
mostly toward the Dutch.
An experienced British officer
SAYS: Remember that no white
troops can operate in that country.
We have the credit for beating
them in the last Basuto war, but
in reality they gave in of their
own will. Unless Lagden can now
hold them back by appeals to their
loyalty to England, they will fight
and this will mean that when our
war with the Dutch is over we
must engage in an endless and
perilous campaign in Basutoland." I"
Certainly with the Free State at
war with England it is impossible
for the British troops to police the
Basuto border or take any but in
effective precautionary measures
for averting a dire catastrophe.
This black menace is the darkest
cloud now, settling over South
Africa.

Capt. Lawrence Coney Dead.

| Capt. Lawrence Coney, one of the old
est and most capable master mariners that
ever sailed from the port of Bangor, died
May 29th, at the age of &c years. He
retired from the sea about three years ago
on account of i'll health and had been
gradually failing since then.
| He was born in Bangor in April, 1888,
the son of Thomas and Mary Scott Coney
He turned his attention to the sea when a
mere boy.
After a dozen or more years at sea
Capt. Coney became master of the schooner
S. X. Hart, in which he sailed for short
time
In 1860 the schooner James O'Donohue
was built for him in Brewer by some
of his friends. He sailed her for two or
three years, and then took command of
the brig Timothy Field. Following this
Capt. Coney became master Of a handsome
bark built in Brewer by James O. Donohue
and Others, called the Limerick Lass.
After several voyages in this bark
to the United Kingdom and elsewhere
Capt. Coney had a brig taken up in
Bangor and she was launched in 1866
This vessel was named the Rachel
Coney, and he sailed her with great
success until 1888, when he and others
built the brig TelOS, 371 tons net, in Ban
gor. This brig was the last vessel of
her rig built in Maine. Capt. Coney sail
ed the Telos until 1896, in the same lines
of trade, West India, Mediterranean and
west coast of Africa, in which the Rachel
Coney had been employed, and left her
only when his health broke down.
In all his 40 years as master Capt.
Coney never lost vessel or met with
any serious disaster. He was known in
almost every port of any consequence on
the Atlantic coast of the United States, in
the West Indies, in Italy, Sicily, on
the Gold coast and in South America, to
which places he made many voyages,
generally sailing from New York.
Capt Coney is survived by his wife,
two daughters, Mrs. James Corners and
Miss Eunice; two sons, Edward and Hugh
L., and two sisters, Mrs. Mary X. Smyth
of Bangor and Mrs. Anne Hayes of Charles
town, Mass.

DEATH STRU GGLE.

DEATH STRUGGLE.
In his struggle to save Mrs Garner the
latter had grasped Mr. Croshy's hand and
when he fell back into the water ring
that he wore was torn from his finger.
This was found on the cabin floor when
the yacht was righted
When Miss May was passed up the com
panionway to Mr.. Rowland by Mr.. Cros-
by the former sprang into the water with
the girl and kept her at1oat until they
were picked up by a boat sent out from
the yacht Countess of Dutferin. This
boat, however, had been damaged while
on its way to the wreck and the rescued
were transferred to one of the Dread :
naught boats aud safely landed on Staten
Island.
Some of the men who had put out to
the rescue in boats declared that they
saw Mrs. Garner and Miss Hunter at the
cabin window calling for help that no
man could render. This. however, is
not probable in the light of the state
ment subsequently made by Colonel Cros
by and from the fact that the bodies were
found pinned down by metal and furni-
ture when recovered by divers.
All Of the crew were rescued with the
exception of the cabin boy, whose body
was found in the saloon. Two cooks and
steward were reported missing, but
they turned up after a few days. Mr.
Montant sustained injuries in his her Ole
efforts to save his companions that result
ed in his death a year later.
ROWLAND Is BLAMED.
The blame for the disaster was unani :
mously laid at the door of Captain Row
land, and his behavior indicated that he
concurred in the popular verdict When he
was landed on Staten Island he took to the
woods, but was subsequently arrested
and locked up at Stapleton to await the
action of the coroner's jury. Crowds of
men had searched for him with the avow-
ed in tention of lynching him, but he was
found by the police and kept under guard
until the coroner had finished his inquiry
One of his sailors declared that he begged
the captain to allow him to cut away the
main sheet, but the latter had ordered
him forward and told him to mind his
own business. All of his crew, in add
ton to all of the yachtsmen and old sail
ors who had witnessed the disaster from
the shore, declared that the captain had
been criminally negligent Capt Row
| land, in his own behalf, said that he had
tried to lower the mainsai, but the block
became jammed. This was subsequently
proven to be false. But Colonel Crosby
made a statement to the jury in which he
exonorated the captain from blame. He
was discharged by the coroner, and there
the matter dropped.
Miss May the only woman survivor of
the disaster, went abroad soon after the
wreck of the Mohawk, and in Dresden
met Captain Arthur Randolph of the Brit
ish army They were married in England,
but the captain resigned his commission
and moved to this country, where he died
twelve years ago. Mrs. Whitney had been
married to the ex-Secretary of the Navy
but eighteen months before she met with
her fatal accident. Chicago Tribune.
