H~ HE Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany's City of Puebla has made a
flying run from the Sound to San
III Francisco. FTfty-three hours from
Victoria, B. C., is railroad time,
and many of the liners would be pleased
to own the record.
The Puebla has recently been over
hauled and is now a good seventeen-knot
ship. Captain Jepsen has never rushed
her. however, but when he left Seattle
five hours behind time and there seemed
no reasonable means of making up the
lost hours he decided to make time. In
consequence from the hour Flattery was
passed everything was wide open and the
vessel came in on time. The Puebla
brought in a big crowd of passengers and
will be ready to sail again on time.
All the passengers were more than
pleased with the vessels showing, and
Captain Jepsen says that no one knows
lust what his boat can do. Next trip he
expects the Puebla to make the rim in
forty-eight hours.

PICKED UP BY A
 PASSING CRAFT Crew of Russian Bark Cuba Brought Into Port SHE FOUNDERED AT SEA Sighted by the German Steamer Barce- Iona in the Nick of Time-The Seamen Were Crying for
 Help.
SHE FOUNDERED AT SEA

New York, January 31. - The German steamer Barcelona, which arrived today from Hamburg via Halifax, N s.. brought into port the captain and fourteen seamen of the Russian bark Cuba, which was abandoned at sea January IS in latitude 40:30, longitude 13:10, in a dismasted and waterlogged condition.
 Captain Bohn, of the Barcelona, reports that at midnight on January r a glare of light was sighted which at first was thought to be ship on fire. The Barcelona headed toward the light, and on approach ing nearer two huge flares were seen from vessels in distress.
 Passing close to the craft Captain Bohn with his night glass made out that she was dismasted and waterlogged and the people on tine wreck were waving and ges- ticulating violently. At times hoarse shouts could be heard, and finally cries of Help, we are sinking" were made out. Although a very high sea was running, it was decided to make the attempt to rescue the shipwrecked crew.
 First Officer A. Livoni and a boats crew of five seamen managed to lower a life boat and get safely away from the side of the steamer. After an exceedingly hard pull the boat was successfully brought un- der the lee of the wreck and after a severe struggle all of the men, fifteen in number, were taken into the boat and to the steamer.
 The Cuba left Ship Island with full cargo of timber bound for Bristol, Eng land. She met a succession of gales, with very rough seas, and the resultant pound- ing caused her seams to open. The crew was kept constantly at the pumps, but in spite of their exertions the water gained until the hold was half full. On January IA terrific gale arose from the southeast which blew with hurricane force and threw the bark over on her beams After efforts to right her had failed the masts were cut away, and the gear in falling smashed all the boats. The pumps were kept going but the seas washed completely over the craft keeping the crew immersed in water.
 In this condition the vessel lay through out the 18th, 18th and 17th. On the latter date several steamers passed by one very close at hand, but no attention was paid to the distress signals of the Cuba. That day the water in the hold caused the deck to heave and break and all hope was gone until the Barcelona came along and sent boat

TUSCALOOSA.
Budget of News from the Pretty City
 of Oaks.

Tuscaloosa, January 31.-(SpeciaL) )-Fire broke out in the western part of the city last night beyond the Mobile and Ohio de- pot and consumed two houses before it could be extinguished. The fire was with out the range of the fire plugs, so the fire department organized themselves into a bucket brigade, and by hard work saved a third house belonging to Lewis Ward, col ored which caught several times. The fire originated in the house of Redden Ram sey from an overloaded stove. He had $a00 insurance. The second house to burn was that of Lewis Ward, which was rented to another party. There was no insurance on it. It was only by the hardest work that the third house was saved.
 An effort is being made to have a new city charter for Tuscaloosa. The city at- torneys have drawn up the charter and permission will be asked from the Legsla- ture to have it adopted. It is not likely that any very radical changes will be made.
 Tuscaloosa has citizen, J. H. Tyler, who remembers very distinctly the coronation of Queen Victoria, as he was only a short distance from the scene. He was years old at the time and was at his home in London. While he did not witness the actual coronation scene, he remembers dis tinctly the feasting and other circum- stances concerning the great event. MT. Tyier's wife, who died last spring, was born in London on the very day of the coronation of Queen Victoria.
