Generals Under Arrest
The federal generals Bravo, Man

town Of Mazatlan had been taken by
the rebels.

WIRELESS REPORTS INDICATE THE

we're in latitude 1880 north, longitude
35.06 west. When we arrived near
the Voluturno we found her com
pletely on fire. The fire apparently
had arisen from violent explosion
in the forward part Of the vessel and
this explosion had killed number OF
passengers and sailors.
Eleven steamers gathered in the
neighborhood Of the disaster, which
took place during violent storm
blowing in from the northwest with
the sea breaking high.
Two of the boats of the Grosser
Kurfurst were lowered and kept at
work during the whole night from 9
o'clock in the evening until 3:15 in
the morning. 1t was almost impossi-
BILE for them to approach the wreck
and the rescue Of those on board the
Volturno was possible only when they
jumped overheard.
"A boat was lowered from the Vol
turno with five men who were saved,
but the boat sank Immediately after
ward.
'The total of those rescued from the
ship was 52S and of these Sc passen-
gers, two ships officers, one engineer
and 16 sailors, making a total OF 1O5,
were taken on board the Grosser Kur-
furst.
Two full boat loads from the Vol
turno are being sought for, but it is
probable that they will not be found
One hundred persons from the Vol
turno are missing. The Carmania
and La Touraine are searching in the
vicinity of the scene of the disaster.
"The shipwrecked passengers and
crew on board the Grosser Kurfurst
are being well cared for and have
been provided with proper accommo-
dations. We are proceeding"

in the Raging Gale

Fishguard, Oct. 11.-Fire in a rag
ing storm in mid-Atlantic on Thurs
day destroyed the liner Volturno ON
her voyage from Rotterdam to New
York with loss of life of either 1875
or 2S6 of her passengers and crew.
Ten other liners, called by wireless to
the rescue, were standing by impo-
tent to avert the tragedy owing to
the mountainous seas. Again the
wireless played a leading part in the
drama.
By its means and through the
heroism Of those who responded to
the call the lives of sci of those on
board the Volturno we're saved.
The Volturno was owned by the
Canadian Northern Steamship COM
pany, but had been chartered to the
Uranium line
I Officials of the latter company de-
clared this morning that those ON
board included "a cabin and $40 steer
age passengers and a crew of SO,
making total of 657 The wireless
dispatches received from the Car
mania said that 521 had been saved
and 2S6 had lost their lives. This
makes total of 757, or just 100 more
than the number on board as given
by the company
Checking from all available sources,
however, would indicate that an err
ror in the wireless transmission Of the
figures had been made and that the
lower total, 1876. is correct
When the Carmania reached the
vicinity Of the Volturno at noon she
found the forward end of the distress
ed vessel burning fiercely The flam-
ing ship was at the same time roll
ing heavily, while her propellers were
fouled with tackle used in lowering
her six lifeboats.
It was learned by the captain Of
the Carmania that only two out Of
six lifeboats had succeeded in getting
safely away from the VoIturno. The
other four crowded with passengers
and members Of the crew, had smash
ed against the side Of the vessel and
all their occupants had been thrown
into the sea and drowned.
In spite Of the terrific gale raging
: when she arrived near the Volturno
the captain Of the Carmania had one
of his lifeboats lowered to help in
the rescue.
After two hours battle with the
waves, during which the lifeboat lost
all but three Of her oars, the lifeboat
returned to the Carmania, which she
succeeded In making without loss Of
life or broken limbs among the mem
bers Of her crew.

! Captain Barr of the Carmania then
maneuvered his big vessel very close
to the -yolturno and finally got the
Carmania's bow within 100 feet OF
the Volturno's stern. 1t was found
impossible, however, to cast line on
board the Volturno or to get anybody
off her.
1t was a terrifying sight for pas
.sengers and crew of the Carmania
to see so close to them the hundreds
Of passengers, including women and
children, on The deck of the Volturno
and yet unable to help them.
Captain Barr of the Carmania in
the meanwhile kept his wireless ap-
paratus at work communicating with
all the vessels within the radius Of
his instruments At A o'clock in the
afternoon the Grosser Kurfurst and
Seydlitz came in sight and these two
were joined later by the Kronland,
the Devonian, Rappahannock, Mime
apolis, La Touraine and the Asian.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening,
when the darkness was at its black
est, flames burst through amidshl2s
of the Volturno from her engine rooms
and coal bunkers.
AS the fire lighted up the sky there
followed an explosion which sent into
the air burning wreckage like flight
of rockets
At 9:2O o'clock the wireless opera
tor on board the volturno had to turn
over the connection Of his instruments
to the reverse batteries. as the fire
had reached the boilers and engine
room and had put the pumps and dy-
namos out Of action
At daybreak the Volturno, was still
floating with her human cargo hud-
deled in masses in her poop The
sea had moderated considerably and
flotilla Of boats gathered round
the stern of the volturno. Shortly
afterwards the remaining passengers
and crew were saved.

Mexico City, oct. IL Both branches
of the Mexican national congress were
declared suspended late last night by
President Huerta
The declaration was made after ITO
members of the chamber Of deputies
had been arrested and lodged in the
penitentiary for Signing a resolution
of warning to General victoriano
Huerta because OF the disappearance
of the senator for Chiapas, DIR. Bell
saro Dominguez.
A proclamation was issued just be-

of the prerogatives Of the chief legis-
lative in the matter Of Senator Domin-
guez.
The dissolution of the national con-
gress was not wholly unexpected in
political circles, but the ganner of its
accomplishment served to demonstrate
the length to which the executive
was prepared to go to maintain his
grasp on the administrative affairs of
the nation. The capital was alive
with rumors this morning, one Of them
being to the effect that three depu-
ties arrested last night, who were
most active in promoting the clash
with Huerta, have disappeared.
Senator Dominguez, whose attack
ON the provisional president in the
senate was the starting point of the
row, has not come to light. He is said
to have prepared for eventualities in
advance. Having determined on his
line Of conduct, he made his will and
bade his family and friends good bye.
The unexplained absence from his
seat in the senate and the disappear
ance from his residence at a local ho-
tel of Senator Belisaro Dominguez,
representing the state Of Chiapas, was
what precipitated the heated debate
at the chamber Of deputies secret
session. The debate resulted in
warning being conveyed to President
Huerta by unanimous vote of the body
that unless the deupties were given
assurances of their personal safety
they would hold sessions elsewhere
than in the capitol
Senator Dominguez dropped from
sight yesterday, following his speech
made in the senate chamber early
this month. attacking the policies Of
President Huerta.
The only information obtained by
the committee appointed by the cham

guez's little son, who said t1at a po-
liceman had taken his father away
from the hotel.
The number Of Spaniards who lost
their lives when Torreon was taken
from the federal troops by the rebels
has dwindled to nine instead Of the

who asserts that he was present in
Torreon when.5the rebels entered,
arrived here today and SAYS that al
together only 1s persons were killed
when the city was taken, nine Span

shot for falling to deliver money and

Washington Is Anxious

Huerta's arrest of 11O deputies OF
the Mexican congress, followed by the
prorogation Of both houses of that
body, has put administration officials
here in a state of anxiety. No at
tempts to disguise the view that the
developments of the last "a hours
in Mexico city have precipitated what
probably is the most serious situation
since Huerta took office.
The greater part of the large body
Of troops that have been maintained
in the capital have been sent north
against the rebellion, and thus Mexico
City is left with comparatively small
garrison.

More than half the white men of voting age in Alaska were born in for eixn countries according to the statis- tics published in the Alaska column of the Nugget yesterday. That is re- markable fact and one which is very
 instructive. It Is found that of the
 foreign born only 70 per cent are nat uralized and about 5000 others had taken out their first papers. More than
 { 900 men of voting age are aliens and have never taken out any papers. Oi course very few men owe as much td
 the country in which they live as the country owes to them provided they are men who work at any useful oc' cupation but 1t Is strange that mer
 refuse to recognize the country m which they make their livelihood ant the country which would protect then In case of accident or mcntal distress There is an excuse often for mer
 who delay taking out their nnal pa pers as there is some dificulty ofte' in fulfilling the conditions but there Il
 hardly any excuse for men who do not take out their frst papers.
