LATE NEWS FROM THE BORDER SEIZURE OF THE SCHOONER LEWIS. Capt. MacLean’s Story of the Conduct of thé Kussian Cutter Alert. Curcaco, Dec. 28.—A special dispatch from San Francisco says: Capt. Alexgnder McLean, lato commander of the American sealing schooner James IH. Lowis, has arrived from Siberia and is quartered at Angel islands. He brings with him a fragment of the American flag which was cut down from the mast head of the American vessel by eaiiors sent by the Rus- sian cutter Alert. Capt. McLean tells this story: “We wore two miles off C on August 20 the Russian down on ux, and without any the James Lewis and placed # pi board. “dhe American flag was fosting at the mast head, aud as the helyards were ont it was no easy tuntter to get it down.

It was reported at that lime that Sir William set forth ut length tho views of Lord Salisbury that the Bulgarian —governinent should go far toward satisfying the demand of France growing out of the Chadoume incident.

Mardie’s Men Believed to Be Pursuing Garza’sa Band. Lanepo, Tex., Dec 28.—The state rangers, under Capt. Brooks, who left Laredo Saturday, joined Capt. Hardie’s command of United States troops yesterday. It is probable now that this let effort of the revolutionists will dwindle like the one which occurred only a few weeks ago and will break out ina new placo hereafter, as Garza and the revolutionary ringleaders etilllive. A United States govern- ment wagon came into the city yesterday from Capt Hardie’s troops after more eupplics, but nothing could be learned from the officers as to whether they brought news or not, and the supposit.on iy that Hardie and his men have aot yet been near enough to tho revolutionists to sce the color of their hair.

Sr. Prrznssuna, Dec. 28.—The police have beon displaying much activity of late, more particularly in Russian Poland, and « very large number of arrests havo been made. One of the arrests at Warsaw was the Polish bisto- rian, VindislavSmolensky. Tho charges against the porsons taken into custody were not known, but it was surmised that they were in some way implicated in designs against the goverment, or, in other words, thet they were plotting against the life of the czar. This surmise has proved to be correct, for it has transpired today that the arrests were the result of the discovery of the existence of a secret league, the object of which was to asaas- sinate the ezar. The polico upon learning of the existence of the league carefully aud patiently followed up the clues that had come into their possession and learned the ramifications of the conspiracy spread to every part of Russian Poland. Tho league was not composed entirely of people belonging to the lower classes, but ineiaded many officials of the civil government, military oficers anda large number of students. It is not known how many persons have been taken into custody in connection with the latest lotagainet the life of the czar, but enough ws come to light to show that the haul made by the seeret police has been very extensive. It is thought that many of the persons con- nected with the conspiracy have taken fright at the knowiedge of their plans held by the police and that they will reck cafety by fleeing from the country. The authorities, however, are said to be Weil informed as to the movements of every one in any way connected with the plot, a:id orders have been issued that the Aus- trian and G ‘outiers be closely watched for peoph attempt to leave the coun- try without the requisite government permis- sion.

Dreadnaught Came Near Being CARS TURNED A SOMEKSAULT. A New York Traveling Man Describes the Accident Near Newcombe, Mo. Kaxaas Crrz, Mo., Dec. 28.—In addition to those injured in last night's wreck on the Santa Fe near Newcombe, whose names were sent in these dispatches, are Mra De Eorest, Great Bend, Kan., who was hurt internally, and J. C. Bonn of Servia, Kan., who bad an arm brok ‘Mr. A. W. Brown, a traveling man of New York was a passenger in one of the sleeping cars. He was seen by a reporter at the Mid- land Hotel Inst night. Mr. Brown says that when the cars left the track they turned com- pletely over, and the front chair car, in which were the people who were injured, left its trucks and alighted right side up at the bot- tom of the embankment. Mr. Brown says that he eseaped through a. window of the sleeper and was one of the first to be extricated from the wreck. From what he could learn he thought that ‘the rails had spread and that it was duo to the passing of a heavy freight train a few minutes before the Pascenger. Mr. Brown's account of the cars is substantiated by seve os of the of the train- men and another inger, who stopped for a few moments at the Uulon Depot Hotel, but whoze name could not be learn It seems that the front chair cat was totally demolished and one of the sleepe over on its side with such foree that the hea’ was thrown completely through the roof.

M. & Dreadnaught, Capt. Arthur H. Arlington, four guns, 10.820 tons, 8,210 horse power, attached to the Mediterranean squadron. The Dreadnaught is an iron battle ship; she was launched in 1875, lies armor plating of from eleven tc fourteen inches in thickness, carries four 33-ton guns and is credited with a speed of fourteen kuots an hour. £he has, in addition to her azmor, what was considered to bo a most powerful steel protective dec! According to the dispatches just received the Dreadnaught, while ona voyage from Malta to Salonica recently, encountered a severe storm and was badly ciamagea from the buffeting she reecived During the height of the gale the Dreadnaught shipped several sees 80 heavy that they bent in her steel protective deck by force of the water huried abcard the war shi It was not slight bending either, Bix clear inches of the deck having been bulged inward by Neptune's pounding. In fact, at one time the Dreadnaught was in immediate danger of being sent to the bottom with all hands. for ne boats could hav» lived long in the sea which was then raging. In addition to bending in the war vessel's protective deck the heavy seas which came abcard caused the support of this deck to carry away and also did other damage, wash- ing away a considerable portion of the deck fittings and smashing one of the life boats into match wood. ‘This accident to the Drea@nauzht, it is an- nounced will lead to along and careful in- quiry into the subject of protective decks nnd may alvo be the cause of many modifications and improvements iv the construction of these 1 portions of the war ehips now in construction, Of course the Dreadnaught,though classed as 4 modern battle ship, is far from ranking with the Benbow or other vessels of that class; nor does ehe come near, in point of effectiveness 48 a fighting ship, to such vessels as the Sans Pareil, ” Victoria, “Iratalgar or Nile, built in 1887, yet the Dreadnaught was ‘looked upon as being ablo to stand a much more severe handling than she experienced from the heavy seas of the Meditgrranean, Aud in consequence of the many similar in- stances of failures upon the part of warships to come up to what was expected of them a re- vival of the old cry as to the rotien condition of England’s navy may be looked for. dedicate THEY WERE SPYING FOR ENGLAND. ‘Two Men Who Were Trying to Learn Secreta of French Military Manufacturers, Loxvox, Dec. £8.—Particulars concerning the arrest, trial, conviction and sentence of the two English spies caught at St. Etienne, in the’ department of the Loiro, while trying’ to ob- tain samples of the new French and Russian carbines for the English government con- tractors, have just been received.
