representations from the American
minister, John e. Ramer, however, the
revolutionists later agreed to turn over
the fort to the commander Of the
American marines to be given back to
the government.

trillo. All are prominent conserva.
tives. but are Of the action opposed
to the present government.
AS soon as news of the capture OF
the fortress was received, the Ameri.
can minister sent a letter to the COM
mander Of the rebellion troops. The
reply stated that the rebels were
friendly to the Americans and that
their purpose was to cause the resig-
nation Of the president and q change
Of the present cabinet.
The American minister answered
that If the fort fired upon Campo de
Marte, where the American marines
are stationed, or upon the city, the
fire would be returned by the ma.
rines. He also proposed that General
Cruz send three representatives to the
American legation to meet three rep.
resentatives Of the government for q
Joint conference.
Mr.. Ramer then communicated BY
wireless with Rear Admiral Cole. oi
the United States navy, woh replied
that he was within 90 miles Of Mica
ragua, and would arrive at Corinto
with 400 marines.
The government was busy recruiting
troops and expected that 1000 men
would arrive within a few hours from
Granada.
There was rifle and machine gun
firing between the government troops
and those holding the fortress, several
soldier being wounded.
Later, at the conference, It was
agreed that General Cruz would sur
render the fortress to the officer of the
American marines. to be turned back
to the government. 1t was also agreed
that the civilians implicated In the
revolution would be pardoned and
that the military participants should
be imprisoned for thirty days.
There was high tension and feal
amcng the people. but everything

Brest. Nearly 100 persons perished
when the Peninsular and Oriental
steamship Egypt sank Oft the Island
Of Ushant, after . collision with the
French freight steamer Seine.
The Egypt sailed from London for
Bombay recently with forty-four pas
sengers and q crew Of 200. A roll
call on board the Seine after the dis.
aster showed that at least fifteen Of
the passengers and eighty Of the crew
Of the Egypt were missing.
The collision occurred during 4
dense fog within twenty-five miles Of
the Armen lighthouse. The dinner
gong was about to be sounded on
board the Egypt. Many Of the passen.
gers and most Of the crew we're on
deck. The shock threw several per.
sons into the sea; others jumped and
q number went down with the ship,
which sank in twenty minutes. The
Egypt was rammed amidship ON the
port side.
The Seine. badly damaged. reached
Brest with 20 rescued passengers,
more than 200 Of the crew and the
bodies Of 20 dead. The captain Of
the Egypt is among the saved.
When the collision occurred there
was q rolling sea. Some Of those res.
cued charge that the Indian sailors
on board the Egypt took to the life
boats Immediately the vessels crashed,
to that a large number of the crew and
passengers had to shift for themselves.
Those who jumped into the sea and
who could swim scrambled about for
bits Of wreckage to which they might
cling. Many Of these were rescued.
They floated about In the fog after the
Egypt went down. calling for help.
The sound Of their voices directed
members Of the crew Of the Seine in
small boats who were, pasrellins the
sea, picking up both living and dead.
In some instances the rescued crews
came upon persons clinging to bits Of
debris who let go and sank Just as aid
was at hand. The small boats on
numerous occasions sought vainly in
the fog to locate persons who lifted
cries Of distress through the fog.
Among the known missing are the doc.
tor and chief engineer Of the Egypt.
Captain Lebarzic, Of the siene, In
describing the disaster, said:
II was at my post on the upper
bridge at Z o'clock p. M, fifteen miles
from Armen light. The sea was
calm. with slight swell. The fog was
very dense. was listening for fog
horns and proceeding at the slow
speed Of five knots. .
I'm less than It takes to tell q
great steamer emerged from the fog
1t struck my ship and tore away the
forward works and moved on at grea,
speed. I Immediately ordered our en-
gines reversed"
