Morning.

The steamer Marguerite, after a delay
Of about ten days at this port, necessi-
tated by repairs to the propeller, will
proceed on her interrupted voyage to
Marseilles this morning. Her engines
were tested yesterday and found to be
in perfect working order, the propeller
and shaft working satisfactorily, and she
is now in perfectly seaworthy condi-
ton.
The Margherita was found In distress
about ten days since by the Riplingham

made here and in much shorter time
than thought possible. Captain Cosuhch
the general agent of the line, who has
been here for the past week looking after
the vessel stated last night just before
departing for New Orleans, that the work
had not only been satisfactorily done in
Pensacola, but at a moderate and reason
able cost, and in quick time.
The taking of the testimony of the

PANIC WORSE THAN SEA.
Italian Emigrants Fight With Knives
for Possession of Boats.

London, Aug. 6.-The Madrid cor.
respondent OF the Daily Telegraph de-
ecribes the Sirio disaster as one of the
worst on record. The Italian emf.
grants, with knives in their hands and
without regard for the ONE or chill
dren, fought with the greatest brutal
~ for the possession of life buoys and
boats. Many were killed or wounded,
including several members of the crew
who were attacked by emigrants.
Eye witnesses give awful pictures of
the brutal panic on board. For ha'f
an hour the emigrants were masters
of the situation. They completely
overcame the crew by sheer force Of
numbers, and this in spite of the eff
forts of the officers, who tried to save
the women and children first.
One report even states that a group
OF emigrants approached one OF the
ships boats, which already was full
and which was about to be launched,
and d~islodged the people, killing sew.
eral with their knives. Just as they
were about to occupy the boat them
o'i'NS dholucI DOuy OI armed emil
grants came up and a fierce fight for
the possession OF the life boat fol-
lowed. Many of the survivors brought
ashore were seriously wounded and a
number had sustained fractured limbs.
Some of the injured subsequently died.
1t is said that the panic on board
caused more loss of life than the sea
itself.

route and gain time, proposed to pass
as close as possible to the dangerous
