Her Fate stu Unknown.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 23.-The British
steamship Nittoria, Capt. Wetherell,
arrived Wednesday from Hull via
Hampton Roads with four Of the crew
of the missing Hamburg-Ameriean
liner Bulgaria. The rescued mariners
are: Second Mate o. Scharges. Quar-
tcfmaster Carl Ludtke and John Schulz
and Seaman William Starke. They
were picked up by the Vittoria from
an open boat from the Bulgaria 3M
hours after they had been east adrift
in latitude 40 north. longitude 43 west,
on February 5. These, with the 25
women and children who were picked
up by the tank steamer Weehawken
and landed in Ponta del Gada, Azore
islands, a week ago, are all that have
been heard from of the crew OF 50 men
and al passengers which the Bulgaria
had aboard when she sailed from New
York for Bremen January 2S.
Second Officer S~chrages, OF the Bull
garia. says that throughout all of the
excitement and danger the conduct of

her. To make matters worse during
the storm 100 horses that were stabbed
on the upper forward deck. stampeded,
and in their fright made a wild dash,
%trampling each other TO death. This
state of affairs lasted until all but 20

of the waves. Then the butcher OF the
vessel. with a number of seGmen went
into the pen and tried 20 quiet the
beasts that remained. This falling, as
did also the attempt TO force the fren-
zied animals overheard. their threats
were cut. Before the maddened ami
mails were dispatched. however. the
butcher had both his legs broken and
one OF the seamen was badly injured.

saw the distress Of the Bulgaria. with

cause Of the tempestuous seas. arrived
i'm Bremen on the 10Th instant, and re-
ported that the Bulgaria had foundered.
Second Officer Schrages is reasonably
positive that rome were rescued from
the Inflated vessel after he left her. and
il is feared that 1Oi persons went down
with her. The Bulgaria had no accom-
modations for frst-class passengers,
and all the passengers on board were ia
the steerage. They were mostly Ger
mans from different parts OF the United
States. She was not a regular liner, and
had been in the service OF the Hamburg
American line about a year.
