NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Captain r. R.
Shaw and the crew of ten of the British
bark Glenhuntley, long given up for

and shared with the seventy-two white

reception room. Five others. three
men and two women who had been
turned back from the stairway by the
flames, were shrieling and fighting for
some exit. Thompson forced them all
into the big room and locked the door.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. S.-James
Doyle Mayor of Victor, Colo, and a
wealthy owner of mines in the Cripple
Creek district, occupies a cell in the
County Jail here, having been committed
by Judge Lunt of the District Court for
contempt of court. His alleged disregard
of an injunction issued by Judge Lunt
against him not to prosecute suit
brought by him at Council Bluffs, Iowa,
against James F. Burns Of the Portland
Gold Mining Company to recover several
hundred thousand shares of Portland
stock. caused Judge Lunt to order his
commitment. Mr.. Doyle was in Denver
when the order was issued, but on learn
ing of it, took the first train for this
city and accompanied the Sheriff to Jail.
Mr.. Doyle spent the day reading the
papers and has seen several friends. He
declines, however, to say anything about
his case. His relations with the officers
are Of the most friendly character and
he seems to appreciate the novelty as well
as the unpleasantness of his detention.

been touring in European Russia for
two months to discover, If possible,
some evidence on the part of the Rus
sian Government to give effect to the
disarmament proposals of Emperor
Nicholas, says all his observations were
quite to the contrary. The correspond
ent says:
AT the na-yal dockyards I found
feverish activity. Not man has
been withdrawn from the frontiers.
The Ministers of War md Marine have
been inspecting all the important mill
tary and naval stations, urging an ac-
celeration Of the preparations for de-
fense, but apparently never mentioning
the Cars manifesto. The number of
men enrolled IN the army and navy dur

endorsements are being sent to the
Far East as fast as they can be trans
ported and all the garrisons along the
