A STORY OF WRECK. Capt. Hoffman Describes the Burn- ing of His Steamer. LOSS OF THE .CItY OF ALEXANDRIA. Six Stevedores Killed and Five Sail- ors Drowned. HEAVY SEA RUNNING. QUARANTINE, 8. L, Nov. 10.—The Ward line steamer Seneca, which arrived this morning, brought Capt. Hoffman and fifty- six of the crew of the steamer City of Alex- andria, which wes burned at sea near Ha- vana, November 1, involving a loss of eleven lives, five of the crew and six negro stevedores. Among the lost are: Purser Ralph W. Bowen, Quartermaster Thos. Linden, Waiter Louis Bloch, Waiter G. Smith and Oiler Wm. Foster of Boston. Capt. Hoffman told the following story of the disaster this morning: ‘We were twenty-eight miles from Havana, steaming through a heavy N.N.E swell. It was 6:40 in the afternoon, and I was at the supper table, the mate being in charge of the ship. Suddenly a terrific explosion shook the whole ship. A small hatch aft in the saloon was blown off and flames imme- diately issued forth. I ran on deck and met the second officer, Mr. Field, who shouted that she had blown up forward. The chief engineer, John Lynch, reported fire in the hold near the boilers. I at once called the crew to fire quarters, and a strenuous effort was made to subdue the flames, but without making the slightest apparent impression. “I headed the steamer for Juricka shoal, fifteen miles away, the only spot where it would be posible to beach her. We fought the fire, with the heat of the decks burn- ing our feet, until 9 o'clock, when I beach- ed her on the shoal thirteen miles from Havana. Five lifeboats and a life raft were lowered, the flames preventing us from lowering the sixth lifeboat. “Perfect diseipline was maintained. The purser, Ralph W. Bowen, was in charge of ene lifeboat, and had the stewardess and one passenger with him. The sea was run- ning mountains high, and the bow tackle became jammed and raised the bow up, swamping her. All in her were thrown into the water, and although the other boats immediately rowed to the rescue Bowen, Bloch, Smith and Linden were drowned. I was myself, with six others, on the life raft. We had no oars and were endeavoring to paddle away from the blazifig wreck with our hands. A tremen- moo sea struck us and washed us all over- “When we were able to regain the raft poor William Foster was gone. We man- aged to reach the shore, a mile and a half away, and made our way to Havana. When the explosion oceurred there were six negro stevedores sitting at supper on the forward hatch and they were instantly killed. They belonged in Havana.” The survivors lost everything they had on board and were cared for by the agents of the Ward line in Havana. Capt. Hoffman could advance no theory as to the cause of the explosion. He had, he said, 400 puncheons of rum in the hold, but he could imagine no way in which fire could be communicated to them. The explosion and the fire were simul- taneous and the flames were intensely hot. The engineers were obliged to desert the enginé room before the steamer touched bottom and as she sank the propeller was still turning. —— PRISON PUNISHMENTS. Testimony Regardii Methods at the Elmira Reformatory. AUBURN, N. Y,, Nov. 10.—Mr. Litchfield was the only member of the Elmira re- formatory investigating committee who was on hand here this morning to take the evi- dence of some twenty-five prisoners who have been transferred to this prison from the reformatory. Mr. Craig was prevented from being present by illness and illness in the family of Dr. Smith detained that gentleman at his home. James Farrell of New York, who was sentenced to the reformatory in April, 1890, for grand larceny and transferred here a year later, testified that he was paddled while in. the reformatory 79 different times, generally for failure to perform his tasks and talking and turning his head while at_ work. Farrell further testified that Mr. Brock- way had struck him across the eyes with | the strap of the paddle. Gecrge Gilbert said he desired to state that the reason for calling the first three or four witnesses was to illustrate the un- just treatment of the young lads who are sent to the reformatory for slight offenses and were shortly afterward transferred to state prisons for slight offenses. Albert Jolivet was sentenced to the re- formatory in February, 189, for burglary in the third degree from Troy.at the age of sixteen years. He was transferred here a few months ago. He had been paddled half a dozen times while in the reformatory and had been struck on the head with the paddle. He had frequentiy been warned to mend his ways by Superintendent Brock- way. He had only a week’s notice that he | was to be transferred to a state prison and he knew of no reason why he should have been transferred. He admitted that he wanted to be transferred here so as to get away from the reformatory punish- ments. ne BROKE UP THE COUNCIL, Confusion Caused by Opponents of Newly Elected Burgomaster at Vienna VIENNA, ‘Nov. 10.—The municipal author- ities today re-elected Burgomaster Prix. | Herr Prix is a prominent politician. Some} time ago he resigned the office of burgo- | master in consequence of the attacks made upon him by the members of the liberal | majority in the municipal council, notwith- standing the fact that he was the leader of the liberals, After his re-election today the members of the anti-Semite party cat an uproar and refused to listen to Herr Prix when he attupted to make a speech. The confusion was so great that the sitting of the council | was suspended. | An anti-Semite crowd then gathered out- | side the Town Hall and amused themselves by howling until the polic> threatened to make arrests if the disturbance did not| cease. j ete 2 ONLY A LOCK OF HAIR, Iowa Detectives Took It as a Clue and | Have Arrested a Suspected Murderess, MARSHALLTOWN, Towa, Nov. 1.--A strange case which detectives have been investigating here, has resulted in the ar- rest of Mrs. Emily Bennett, who is in jail, charged with the murder of Anna Weiss z On the evening of that day Miss Weiss was returning to her home after a neigh- borly visit, when she was attacked by an unknown assailant, who beat her head to a jelly and stabbed her reneatedly.

DURANGO, Col., Nov. 10.—Rumors of another Navajo outbreak were received last | night. It is reported that the settlers west of the Montezuma valley had a collision with the Indians, killing four of them.

Plenty of Volunteers for the New Brazilian Ships. Reports of the Attack on Rio Not Confirmed — American Officers on New Warships. Reports received here indicate that the enlistment of volunteers at New York for service on President Peixoto’s new Brazil- jan navy is progressing favorably. In spite of rumors of small pay, enough men have applied for places to man a dozen ships like El Cid and the Britannia. Agents of the Brazilian government have had lawyers at work investigating the United States laws on the subject. Their opinion was rendered yesterday. It is in effect that the section of the Revised Statutes which prohibits the enlistment of men within United States ter- ritory for military or naval service under foreign governments applies only to their enlistment for service against powers with which the United States are at peace, and that as the men who are being hired to man El Cid and her consorts are to serve against rebels, and therefore no recognized power, friendly or unfriendly, there is no violation of the law. ; The legal authorities at Washington agree that under the arrangement proposed. offi- cers and men can be taken on board these vessels for warfare in Brazilian waters. The ships, however, with this force, must leave New York flying the American flag. The colors may be changed to the Brazil- ian emblem on the high seas. This arrange- ment will meet the requirements of the comity of nations, The graduates of the Naval Academy are glad to know that the Brazilian cruisers are to have among their officers three Naval Academy men. Mr. Craven, Mr. Sparling and Mr. Conway are regarded as experi- enced officers. They stood well at An- napolis, and their performances at Rio be closely watched by their friends in the United States navy. No Confirmation. Senor Mendonca, the Brasilian minister, said yesterday that he had received no confirmation from Bragil of his advices from London that Admiral Mello had re- sumed the bombardment of Rio. The State Department was also without information on the subject yesterday. Admiral Mello’s situation is described by Senor Mendonca as a desperate one. ‘His ships are still in a badly crippled condition as a result of their encounter a fol it, ago with the government forts. He no communication with the mainland. He secures his supplies of food by running alongside the small coasters which carry produce to Rio and paying for them in scrip. This scrip, the minister added, will have to be redeemed by the defacto gov- ernment when the rebellion is crushed, which is another reason why it is desirable to end the war as speedily as possible, Moreover, Mello’s ammunition is becoming rapidly exhausted. His position in the har- bor is such that he cannot under any cir- cumstances inflict fe upon any but the more isolated and outlying parts of the capital. The government buildings and great commercial houses are out of range of his guns. The Peixoto government, Senor Mendonca says, is holding its own. The congress, the army, the several state assemblies, and the people generally from Rio Grande to Para, are loyal to the president. The vessels fit- ting out at New York are expected to be of great service to Peixoto, and their arrival at Rio is anxiously awaited. No Monarchy. Minister Mendonc: advices are that the representatives of the Brazilian monarch- ist party in Europe are disheartened at the lack of responsiveness to their sentiments among the people of Brazil. They had ex- pected a great uprising as a consequence of Mello’s revolt and they do not conceal their disappointment that it did not occur. This declaration led the minister to add that there is no monarchial party, as a party, in the republic. A few malcontents still indulge the hope of a restoration, but their numbers are insignificant, and their influence nil. Whatever, he says, may be the outcome of the pending troubles, the re- public will continue. Brazil saw the last ot a monarchy with the deportation of Dom edro. ————_- +e THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEGRO. en Say They Are Not Astwood's Position, There has been considerable talk among colored democrats about offices and about the failure of scme who aspire to office through the opposition or indifference of the Senate to attain the object of their desires, The statement is made that it is the President's intention to insist on the appointments which have failed so far to obtain the approval of the Senate. Some colored men were reported as being dissat- isfied, and inclined to believe that the ad- ministration had not treated them fairly. The unfairness alleged was in giving col- ored men nominations which were not likely to be confirmed, and thus obtaining credit for attempting to appoint colored men with- out being required to actually deliver the goods. Among those reported as dis- gruntied was Mr. James A. Ross, editor of the’ Freeman and chairman of the National Negro Democratic Association, who was said to have left Washington with a con- siderable load of indignation aboard at.what he regarded the treatment of the colored democrats. Mr. Ross, however, has not gone from Washington, and denies that he is disgruntled. In fact he repudiates the statements credited to him on that sub- Ject. “The Senate,” said Mr. Ross to a Star re- porte, “has undoubtedly tried to humiliate ; the President and the negro race as well. It is absurd to say that I regard the Presi- dent's appointments as anything but the right thing.” Bir. Ross denied emphatically having | criticised the appointment of Messrs. Van | Alen and Roosevelt, and said Mr. Roosevelt was’ one of his best political friends and well wishers. “The President ts, I believe,” said Mr. Ross, ‘conscientious in his actions toward my race, and I think many other ap- pointments would have been reported had it not been for the action of the Senate. Any- how, I have the most explicit contidence in the President’s judgment be unsuccessful ii candidacy for office, I believe my be given just repre- Se ation pointed, and while [ have hopes for my per- | sonal success, paramoent with me.

The Match Tomorrow Will Be a Stubborn Contest. YALE AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF PA, The Great Yale Full Back Compares the Two. ee eee MAKE-UP OF THE TEAMS. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 9, 1893. The one game which all lovers of foot ball are looking forward to now is the Yale- University of Pennsylvania game which will be played in New York on Saturday. The Quakers have really made a fine show- ing right through the season, and their game with Princeton on Saturday of lasi week was so good that even better foot ball in the Yale game to follow became at once assured. Now it is certain that the Pennsylvania team will be stronger than ever before, and in consequence the game of the season up to that date, November 11, should be the Yale-Pennsylvania game. To better understand just how it is that Pennsylvania will be stronger, it is only necessary to point out the changes made in the personnel of the team. In the first place, Capt. Mackey, who played in the Princeton game because of an injury to Oliver, who was unable to play, will be replaced by the latter player, now sufficiently strong in his damaged leg to play again. Mackey was very weak against Princeton, time and again the tigers going through him like a parachuter through space. But it was not a lack of good judgment on the part of Coach Wood- ruff in playing him, because he was better than any of the substitutes for that posi- tion, and Oliver was unable even to walk on account of a bad knee. Back of the line Brooke, who was sub- stituted for Gilbert, who was hurt, will = full back. His fine playing gave the ‘rinceton rooters heart Gisease many times. If the game he put up then is any criterion, he should make a name for himself against Yale. A quick kicker, and getting a very puzzling twist to the ball, he keeps the op- — backs shivering in their shoes; and loubtful always of the kind of ball they are to get, they are rendered very nervous. A Hard Game for Yale. It is understood that Brooke can drop kick with great accuracy. If this is really so, it will take some great playing ana blocking of the Yale forwards to keep Pennsylvania from scoring. Brooke is also @ fine tackler. George Woodruff says tha: he is the strongest he ever played against, and that on several occasions, when he, Woodruff, was playing against the team, to give them practice, Brooke tackled him so hard that he thought his ribs were broken. These two changes are certain, and in themselves of moment to the success of the Pennsylvania team. The other changes contemplated are at quarter back, where Vail, the regular, may give away to Wil- Nams. Vail, inthe Princeton game, was very slow in his passing, and not at all sive in his play. He is a veteran, though, and many think that on dry ground he will be all right. Williams is a good man, but to the foot ball sharps he does not look to be the man for the place. He is inex- perienced. Other Changes Likely. It would appear that the change is more apparent than real and Vail will be found in the position when play is called. At end Abbott may take Upton’s place. This is a talked of change for which it is hard to give a good reason. Upton surely did well against Princeton. Great things are pre- dicted of Osgood, who seemed to be partic- ularly handicapped in the heavy going of Saturday. In fact, the team, on account of its weight, is a fine weather team and the backs, with good footing, are capable of — very quick starts and fast heady run- ning. With Oliver at tackle in place of Mackey the weakest point in the line will undoubt- edly be at center, notably between Wood- ruff and Thornton. Back of the line the backs are not strong in tackling, Osgood being very poor, and Knipe not more than ordinary. The interference of Osgood, too, is not above mediocre. The ends are fairly strong, but not equal to Hinkey and Green- way backed up by the interference of the Yale backs, so we see that the Pennsyl- vania team will be stronger than they were against Princeton, yet still offering vulner- able spots which can be taken advantage of by a first-class team. Yale Critically Considered. Now let us look the Yale team over in a comparative sort of way. The ends, as above noted, oytclass the Pennsylvania ends. Say the tackle points are a stand-off, because Beard, if he plays for Yale, will be quite new to the position, and if Messler plays he will not be quick enough to size up on the instant the rapid plays of the Quak- ers, and Murphy on the whole better than Oliver. In the center Stillman should hold Thorn- ton; Hickok should outplay Woodruff, and McCrea hold his own with Wharton. Morris will probably get about more quickly than Vail and do more work in consequence. We } thus see Yale better off so far as individual players of the rush line go. In tackling the Yale backs are ahead of the Pennsylvania backs. In catching they are on even terms, and in interference bet- ter, as they work together as a trio and not} as a pair as Knipe and Brooke do, with Os- good quite out of it. As for ground gein- ing, the Yale backs look to be a bit better | because of better team play to back them) up. This brings the comparison to the style @f game which the two teams will play. H They Wil Play. | The Quakers will first of all spring on! | Yale the Cornell flying wedge, formed as follows: Vail at center with pall, other ten players in form of square, well massed to- gether and ten yards -lirectly back of Vail. | At a given signal by Vail the ten players jrush forward and as they are about upon “him he touches the ball to ihe «ground, and | then as Orgvod passes in the rear of the | wedge he hands him ‘he (all. Modidcations of this play the Quakers will aiso try trom | a down. The strongest pliy will be the | ‘masses on tackles by (he half backs, the | running of the end rushers with the ball and the running of Reese a* tackle. Wvecd- ruff claims that Reese can gain at every try and that the plays by the ends are al- most sure of small gains, if not of long runs. Knipe, through she cenver between Woodruff and Thornton, is also a st play now. This latter play and the :na | jon tackles Yale suce: uly coped with en | the whole last year, but will hardly do as | well this year, in the latter case in paiticu- | lar. Hammie Wallis was a host in ‘himyelf | last year, and Winter was not far behind | him. The tackles this year hardly eapect to | do as well. Indeed, last year the masses on | , Winter were productive of repeated gains in | the second half, which were mainly instru- | mental in carrying the ball town .he field for forty yards without a loss or a third | down, A More Open Game. The Quakers will play more of an open game than heretofore, as such a formation |is best adapted to the tricks whica they use. Yale will play her old game, banging away at Pennsylvania with a repetition of ;not more than eight plays, six of which only will be uséd unless she is pressed hard. Then the other two will come in for big gains. It is Yale's policy, however, to make her game as commonplace as possible, so that her Harvard and Princeton vivais can | learn little of her play. Thus will Yale be handicapped and tied jown in a way trom making a large score. Yales team fame seems to be better than Pennsy!vania's, particularly in the interference. They also play a faster and more jetermined game. | Now Yale with her hard ning bac’ ful- lowing finely, the interference shevid gain |around Pennsylvania’s end, and ‘Thome | and Butterworth should go through the cen- | ter well. The tackle plays will “ount for lite , tle. Butterworth will be able to kick forty- |five yards on an average and Hinxey will always be down under the kick. These plays look to be productive of more ground than the Quakers can possivly overcome. We are therefore led to the conclusion that Yale will win and by a larger score than Princeton did. On the uther hand Pennryl- vania may have a luck streak and sccre, too, But the game should never be in doubt and if predictions are worth aiything it will be hard work to find Princeton ingney after the game, W. 7.

Saturday's Star Will Be Needed by Everybody. Tomorrow The Star will again appear in twenty-page form and will appeal to all lovers of good reading matter. It will teem with inviting chapters on every conceivable subject. The enlarged size of Saturday's paper affords splendid opportunities for spreading before the public a literary feast that is not surpassed in point of interest by even the leading magazines. And these opportunities are eagerly seized every Sat- urday. The result is an array of features which in point of attractiveness and genuine in- terest has never before been even attempted in Washington. It suffices to say that to- morrow’s Star will be the equal in every respect of those that have preceded it. There will be a number of local chapters that will appeal strongly to the Washington citizen who has the interests of the District at heart. Besides there will be entertaining special chapters from home and abroad, notably an article by.an African traveler on Loben- gula’s cause, giving a description of how the Matabili are resisting an English fraud, with sketches of the fighting nation and its despotic ruler; a chapter on dogs of Paris, by Sterling Heilig, who tells of the love of Parisians for their canine friends, and of the workings of the pound system; an article on. work and worry, in which Frank Carpenter tells how great statesmen suc- cessfully fight these foes to rest and slum- ber; a young army officer's account of the way cadets work at West Point and how they are trained to become model army officers; a description of some of the hand- some homes owned by wealthy Senators at the national capital; Amos Cummings’ in- teresting gossip about well-known legisia- tors, &c., &c. F All those mentioned will be appropriately illustrated; but they are only samples of tomorrow’s Star. You must read it to appreciate it, and if you start to read it you will make a com- plete job of 4t. It will interest you thoroughly. ———— Army Orders. The leave of absence granted Second Lieut.

MAY REMOVE THE BAN, Alleged Action of the Catholic Church Regarding Secret Societies. The New Haven Register prints a story which, if correct, would indicate that the Catholic Church had materially altered its views in the matter of its communicants becoming members of secret Societies. The article says that a very important confer- ence of the Catholic priests of this diocese was held this week at the Episco resi- pers - — anda circular that will leeply interest every secret man in the United States was read. qastd The circular, which was official, and which contained the results of the delibera- tions of council of the Catholic archbishops of the United States, was in substance that whatever ban, implied or otherwise, that was on the secret societies of this country, except in one instance, had The exception is the organization of Free Masons. A prominent priest is quoted as confirm- ing the statement as to the new order of things, and it has been learned from other sources that the meeting of the Catholic archbishops in question was that held in Chicago during the fair. The clergyman quoted above is reported as saying: “There was more or less variance in the opinions held on this subject in the differ- ent archdioceses. It was decided that there should be uniformity. The authorities in Rome were anxious to settle the question, so that there would be no more misunder- — in any of the different jurisdic- ions. “Therefore the archbishops came together at the world’s fair during the session of the Catholic congress and discussed this great question, with the result that all over the United States hereafter if a Catholic wishes to join the Odd Fellows or any like secret society other than Free Masonry he may do so without the censure of the church coming down on his head.” a The new ironclad monitor Admiral Ousha- koff was launched Wednesday at St. Peters- burg in the presence of the czar.
