NEW YORK, Jan. 31-The German
steamer Barcelona, which arrived today
from Hamburg, via Halifax, N. S.,

which was abandoned at sea Jan 13 in
latitude 403O, longitude 1910, in dis
masted and water-logged condition. Capt.
Bohn, of the Barcelona, reports that at
midnight of Jan. II glare of light was
sighted which at first was thought to be

Two huge flares were seen from a vessel
in distress. Passing close by the craft,
Capt Bohn, with his night glass made
out that she was dismasted and water
logged, and the people on the wreck were
waving and gesticula ting 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 boats
crew OF five seamen managed to lower
life boat and get safely away from the
side of the steamer. After an exceedingly
hard pull the boat was successfully

their exertions, the water gained until

which blew with hurricane force and
threw the bark over on her beam ends
After efforts to right her had failed, the
masts were cut away. and the gear in

were kept going, but the seas washed
completely over the craft, keeping the
crew immersed in water. In this condi-

steamers passed by, one very close at

UNDER new ARMY LAW
WAR DEPARTMENT PREPARING TO
FORWARD REGULARS TO MANILA.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-In anticipa-
ton of the passage of the army reorgan-
ization bill the war department has is
sued preparatory orders for the trans
portation Of $500 regular troops to the
Philippines to replace an equal number
of volunteers under orders to San Fran
cisco for discharge. The soldiers to be
sent to the Philippines first include eight
troops of the Fifth cavalry; eight COM
panies of the Tenth Infantry; eight COM
panies of the Eleventh infantry and the
provisional battalion Of troops at the
Presidio of San Francisco. There Are
now about 1000 recruits at San Francisco
awaiting transportation to Manila, and
the number will be increased as rapidly
as the recruiting officers in various parts
of the country obtain the material There
are now about 10000 troops In the Phil
ippines, and the problem confronting the
military authorities is how to Increase
that number to $4,000 by July 1. when the
entire volunteer army of $4,000 must be
discharged. Advantage will be taken of
the provision Of the pending army bill
authorizing the recruitment Of 1900 ma
tive Filipinos. In that event only 10000
renforcenents will be required from the
United States Immediately The most
sanguine officers Of the war department
90 not expect more than 5000 or 1000 of
the volunteer troops to re-enlist for serY-
ice II the Philippines.

Venezuelan Gunboat RestoradOr
Was All but Lost.
SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Jan. 81.
The Venezuelan gunboat Restorador,
formerly the ATLANTA, George Gould's
yacht, which left New York Jan. 24 for
La Guayra. Venezuela, arrived here to-
day. Her commander, Capt. jeremiah
Merithew, reports that the gunboat struck
a fearful gale off Bermuda last Satur-
day, which continued for three days.
Coal and water were exhausted and the
mahogany lockwood was burned as fuel
The waves ran mountains high. The
boats were stove in and the jIbboom,
bowsprit and spare spars were lost For
forty-eight hours Capt. Merthew was
on the bridge. Finally the bunker floors
were burned, but this scarcely served to
keep up steam, and the last available
fuel had gone into the furnace when the
Restorador sighted the Morro Castle
Capt. Merithew had to burn his 'ast bar
rel of pork to get the gunboat into port
The Restorador,. however, suffered no
serious injury. The necessary repairs
can be made in a week, and the gunboat
will then proceed for La Guayra.
