HORRORS OF THE SEA. Fate of the Peruvian Coolie Ship Don Juan. Mutiny of the Ce lestia the Celestials—The Ship Set on Fire. The Crew Take to the Bosts and Leave the Coolies in Their Burning Tomb. Six Hundred Coolies Perish in the Flames. A Portion of the Crew and Fifty Ohinese Saved. SAN Francisco, June 12, 1871, Intelligence has been received here, from two sources, of the burning of the coolie ship Don Juan, which left Macao on the 4th of May with a cargo of coolies for Peru. The infor. mation came from Macao, from which place the crew, together with eight Chinamen, had escaped and was also brought by fifty coolies who had been rescued by ajunk which was passing and brought on to tls port. The Don Juan landed @t Macao taking 650 COOLIES ON BOARD for Peru. She was only permitted to convey them upon her change of fag, as the San Salvadorian sbip Dolores Ugarte. She was not allowed to carry Coolles by the government of Macao, therefore she was sold to a Perayian, or by the pro tem Consul declared national and hotsted the Peruvian flag. She left Macao on the 4th of May, being towed to sea by the steamer White Cloud, and on the 6th SHE WAS BURNT TO WATER'S EDGE, mot more than fifty miles from Hongkong. The coolies who have arrived in Hongkong glve various Particulars of the catastrophe, which are worthy being noted, though they must, of course, be accepted with caution, It ap- ‘pears, however, so far as it is possible to judge, that the men are not in any way combined together, and though this contingency must always be borne in mind in accepting Chinese statements, there does not appear reason to conclude that in the accounts they have given to the superintendent of the jail aud others they have done otherwise than state facts, so fur as under the exciting and terrible elreumsiances they could understand them. The theory 1s that the fire must have been accidental and have originated aft in a Lazarette, where the stores and ship's materials were kept. They all aver that thelr treatment by the oMicers and crew was humane and that they had nothing whatever to complain of, either ag Lo their allowance of foo? or its quality or quan- tity, and thetr statement of their idea is that the whole atvair was simply accidental, The other view tm question, namely, that the VESSEL WAS SET ON FIRE by designing men among the Chinese is not Impos- sible, but there is a diificalty tnaccepting this from the fact that, as a rate, the bulkhead diviaing the main hold from the lazarette would be of very hard wood and trom Your to five inches thick, and would probably be thickly studded with broad natls, which would ef- | fectively prevent saws or other carpenters’ tools being used without being castly heard over the ship. On the other hand, there 1sno doubt that any coolie could easily conveal as much fint and steel | about him as would make @ fire at any anoment, and it is well known that they are | most skilful in concealing material for getting lights. It ls, thererore, quite possible that the fire amight have originated among the coolies, either by aesign or accident, in which cage tt ts quite certain ahat no evidence with regard tot would be got from anyof these men. If the fire ortginatea below It would spread with the greatest rapidity, as the doolle, or false deck, was usually made of sott wood, which would burn lke touchwood, as no doubt it has been in the ship since her lasi voyage aud would be diy as chip. In reply to a question, one of the men first said they had no heal men, and after- wards, being closer pressed, stated that all the head men had been drowned. Very caretul Vnguiry failed to clicit anything more definite as to the origin of the fire than given above, and the manner tu which replies are given makes it evident that, if an official investigation takes place, ft will be found very dificult to get at the truth of the matte. Some of the men, however, are quite clear 4m this statement, that no explosion was heard when the fire broke out, With regard to the most important point—namely, the question whether fhe holds were opened to admit the escape of the men. The whole of them agree that a foreigner came and pried 'ocks and bolts off with a crowbar, calling out, “RUN | SAVE LUE |? and Incident of some importance is related tn con- wmection with this, namely, that some of the men were looking out of the gratings at (he time toavoid suiocation from the smoke, thus showing that the fire ‘whatever way it originated, must have broken out below and well alt. One of the men distinctly avers he heard an EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER att and also sinclt a strong smell of it. Others, again, way they did not hear any report; that they were nearly overpowered by the sickening ewell of the ship's material burning aft. It ts to be regretied that (he European who had the hamnaity to open the hatches did not succeed in saving his own life, as he was overtaken by the coolies, who made a rush at the boat which was waiting for nim ‘and a general Scramble occurred to get to t, the Europeans using arms to prevent the coolies getting in it, in the course of which ‘ono who bas now gone to the hospital was hit on the leg. In the conrse of this scramble several Chinese were drowned, The boat, however, ulti- mately succeeded in getting clear of the ship, but had not gone far when it npset, in sight of but not within reach of the coolics, ‘The coolies then seem ‘to have had a litie leisure to look around, when they observed the other three boats at a distance, Dur- ing this time all the materials of the ship were rap- daly burning, and A LARGE NUMBER PERISHED IN THR HOLD, some of whom were no doubt suffocated, but trom others the cries which were made were piteons. Many, however, Jumped into the water and escapea by drowning the more horrible death vy fre. While the Inckless men were on the deck and on the bowsprit in this position one of the masts sortunately gave way, and the men at once mad #uch efforts as they could to reach it. CLINGING TO THR MAST FOR LIFE, Having got to it they ciung on with despera- tion, calling out as loud as they could to save Nie, They had not been long in the water before a fishing junk came up and they were taken off, two or three ava tine, m a small sampau. The anast was held on the wreck by wire rigging, or tt wouid otherwise undoubtedly have drifted away to gea, The coolies state there were mo lesa than VIETY FUROPUANS ON THE VESSEL 80 that it rematns to be seen what become of (uem Some, no doubt, were Jost in the boat that swamped, We hear this morning that the man who was shot ip the leg and sent to the bospital to have his burns cured is considered to bave little chance of recovery.

The ceremonies connected with the laying of the corner stone of the new capitol promise to be of the most imposing and interesting character. The demonstration will be a great event in the history of the Empire State, The new capitol ts to be one of the finest structures on thia Continent, aud one of the handsomest buildings of modern times, 18 therefore appropriate that the ceremonies of laying Uhe corner stone should be grand and imposing. It is an enterprise in which all the people are fiter- ated. Tt will be the mauguration of @ new ora in our history. In view of this fact measures have been taken to make the occasion one of great inter- est and calculated to awaken a feeling of pride in the hearts of ail who appreciate the glorious motto of our’State, “Excelsior? As before announced the Capitol Commissioners have invited the Grand Lodge of Masons of the State to lay the corner stone according to the an- cient rites and ceremonies of that order, This invi- tation nas been accepted, and active preparations are now being made to carry out the desions enter- tained on the 24tn of his month. We are assured by those well qualified to jouge that the demon- stration on that day will be worthy of the great fs. torical event, and worthy the character uf those to whom the qetails bave been entrusted. It is now only a few days since the first steps were taken in this city, but an interest has been created which fives promise of all that the most sanguine could anticipate. The Grand Master of the Grand Lodge has ex- tended invitations to ali the Masunic lodges In the State to be presen’ Temple Commandery of Knights Templar No, 2% of Albany, have mivited every Commandery in tho State to join them as escort to the Ma- sonte fraternity from all parts of the State and Grand Lodge. Aiready a large number of Lodges have signified thelr intention to form a part of the grand processton, The occasion being one Of State Interest, 1t 1s confidently be ed by those high in the confidence of the order that the demonstration, in @ Masonle point of view, will oe equal to anything of the kind ever witnessed out- Side Of the city of New York. The display to be made by the Knights Templar will be a rare and imposing feature of the day. There are about flity Commanderies of Knights in the State, and it is expected that most, if not all, will be represented. Already several acceptances have been received. Sir Hminent EB. J. Loomis, 33d, of flonwich Chenango county, has signitied his in- fention to be present with 100. Sir Knight Past Grand Master Clinton F. Paige, 83d, 1s expected to | THE PAPAL GUARANTEES, be present with full ranks from tne Binghamton Oommandery. Past Grand Master John L. Lewis, 28d, of Penn Y: and Past Grand High Priest Darius A. Ogden, 33d, will be present. ‘The officers of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, and the Grand Council of Royal aud Select Masons, aud the officers of the Supreme Council of the Thirty-third and last degree will also partict- ate, Distingutsued Masons trom all parts of the nited States and Canada ave expected to jom in the demonstration. So far as the preliminaries have been agreed We are authorized to announce that Grand M Anthon has appointed Robert H. Watewan Grand Marshal. Jackson Hf. Chase, 33d. selected as Assistant Marshal. These gentlemen will be assisied by a large number of alds hereafter fo be appolnied. It is expected that at least one thousand Knight Templars in complete untiorm will form a great feature of the dispiay. The corner stone will be laid by Grand Master Jona Ul.

To THE Epiror oF THE HERALD:— Sin—I, with several other citizens of New York, wish to enter my protest against the unwarrantabic action of the Capitol Commissioners in inviting the Masonic Grand Master to participate in the cere- monies oF laying the corner stene of our new State Capitol building at Albany, I do not pretend to know what may be the objects of Freemasonry, neither do I care; but I believe that this, like all | oth er secret societies, is opposed to all good govern- ment, law and order. ‘his assertion is borne out by the fact that the Freemasons (whose objects and Interests are identical all over the world) were the ringleaders, a8 you are well aware, of the late red | “yepublican” movement in Paris. Ido not think that any respectable man would join a secret society for the purpose of shrouding in mystery his actions and words, thereby proving that he is ashamea of what he says and does.

Be Denounces the Italian Safeguards and De- OS To TIT we P eike pele claros He Never Can Accept Conciliation at the Price of Violation of His Oath. We have been furnished with advance sheets of the last Eneyclical Letter of Pings IX. on the Papal guarantees, which will appear, for the first time in any newspaper, to-day simultaneously in the HERALD and the Freeman's Journal, Encyctical Lecter of Gur Most Holy Father Pius LX., Pope by Divine Providence, to All Patriarehs, Primatos, Archbishops, Biskop and Other Local Or rica, in Favor aud Commanion with the Apostuiic See. VENERABLE BRETHREN—Health and apostolic blessing. So soon as, in the mysterious couusels of God, we found ourselves brougit under a hostile Power and saw the civil state of the Aposiolic See sabjugated by force of arms, and the consequent sad and bitter lot of this our cl'y of Rome, we wrote you, on the ist day of November, of the year 1ast past; to you, and, through you, to the whole Catholic world we declared the condition of our- selves and of our city, and to what unbounded ex- cesses of an impious lceuse we were expused, And we testified that, on account of our supreme daty before God ana man, we willed to keep whole and eatire the rights of the Apostolic See. We stirr you up, and all the faithful, our beloved chiidren, committed to your charge, to appeasing the Divine Majesty by fervent prayers, Since then the ills and woes which those first mournful trials foretold to us and to this city, and especially to the apostolic dignity and authority, avd to the hoimess of religion and morals, have redounded on our beloved subjects— so that, in the ever-aggravated circumstances existing, venerable brethren, we are compelled to say, in the words of St. Bernard, ‘These are evil be- giunings: we fear worse;” for iniquity is running its course, and urging its counsels, Nor any more does it seek to shroud itg most wicked works, which, indeed, cannot be hidden; and now it seeks its finishing spoil, tn trampling under foot justice, honor and religion. In this anguish, which fis our days with biterness, especially atthe thought of how continually the faith and virtue of our people are subjected to dangers an? to snare, your signal merits, venerabie brethren, and those of our beloved faithiul embraced im your care, afford us the most marked and Lid satisfaction, For from every region of the work the iaithful, wonderfully attentive to our exhorta- tions and following your leadership and example, have counted it thei duty, irom that mournful day Of ihe tivasion of our city, to besiege the tirone of Divine mercy by steady and fervent prayers; by public and continued supplications, by sacred pil- grimages, by unbroken gatherings in churches and Jerven communions and by otier principal acts of Christian virtue. Nor cai these most earnest eforts towards appeasing the Lord fail of abundant fruit. The many good results already gatued promise yet others, that we awalb in hope and confidence, For we see ‘stanchness In the faith and burning charity unfolding themselves always more and more. We behold a concern that God alone could inspire, in the minds of Chiist’s faithful, for the travatis and trials of this Holy See, and of tho Cluef Shepherd. We discern’ such a oneness {7 understandings and m » that, from tne earliest times of the Church rto, never could it be more truthfuly or more gloriously said than in our days that the “multitude of them that beheved were of one heart and of one mind.” In which array of virtue we cannot refrain mention of our beloved children, cilizens of this cherished city, Whose love, of every rank and de- gree, towards us, has shone forth, and yet shines, and their devotion and steadlastness equal to the test; and their great-mindedness not ouly worthy, but rival of their foretatiers of old. Therefore, venerable brethreu, we render a thanks and glory to the God of merey for you all, and for our beloved children, Christ’s faithful, because he has wrought, and is sil working, such great things in you; such great things im His Church; aud that he has brought it to pass that where wicked- ness abounds there has more abounded the grace of faith, of love, and of a true coniession, ‘What 1s our hope, then, and our joy, and our crown of glory? Are not you in God's pres py A Wise son 1s the glory of his father, May God, therefore, bless you; and may He remember the faithful service and the tender compassion and comfort and Lonor which you have exhibited, and do still, to the spouse of His Son, in_an evil time and in days of sorrow.” (St. Bernara Epist.) But the Sub-Alpine government, meanwhiic, while on one band it hurries to make the city of Rome the scorn of the world—(“Urvem properat Orbi facere fabulan’—St. Bern, Ep.)—on the other, labors to beguile Catholics, by pufing up and ar- Tanging certain idle immuniwes and safeguards that, in its language, it calls “guarantees,” to the end that these be substituted to us for the civil sovereignty which, by a long. series of in- \rigues and by parricidal, arms it has robbed us af. Already, venerable brethren, we have pronounced our sentence on these immunities and safeguards. We have branded their folly, their guile and their mockery in our letter, dated the 2d of March last, to our venerable brother Constantine Patrizi, Car- dinal of the Holy Roman Churci, Dean of the Sacred College avd acting as our Vicar in Rome, which was, in due time, printed and published. But, according to the manner of the Sub-Alpine government, joining & base and unceasing pretence of consideration to @ shameless contempt of our Pontifical autnority and dignity, and treating our protestations, our expostulations and our ceusures us of no account, it has proceeded, in tts Par. lament, to act on these aforesaid “safeguards” as if they were serious, and bas had discus. cussions on them, and gone forward in urging and advancing them, notwithstanding the senteace expressed by us on their emptiness, In this discus. ston fall poe was given both of the truth of our judgment on the nature and meaning of those “safeguaids’ and of the vain = at- tempt of the enemy to conceal the fraud and malice that was in them. Truly, vener- able brethren, it isfhard to believe (inered nile ex), that so many errors openly against the Catholic faith and against the very founiations of natural jaw as were uttered on dccasion of that debate could nave been put forth m the centre of this Italy, which has ever especially gioried, and now glories, In devollon to the Catholic religion and to the apos tolic See of the Rowman Pontid. Andfin very deed, by the singular protection God grants His Church, the convictions of far the larger part of the Italians are very diferent. They groan with us and deplore this new phase of unaccepted sacrileze, and they assure us day by day, by increasing proofs and avowals, that they are associated in spint and in understanding With the faithful in other parts of te world. Wherefore we anew address our votc? to you, venerable brethren; aad, although the faithful com- mitted to you, by letters or by grave documents in form of protests, lave shown us how outraged they are at the condition that oppreases us, aud how far they ate frum being decelved by the cheats caiied “gateguards,” we yet consider it a part of our apostolic duty that we should declare s0- lemnly through you to the whole world that not only what are called ‘‘safeguards” and which are devised by the Sub-Alpine government, but that all titles, honors, immunities and privileges, what- ever shape they take, under the general name of safeguards or guarantees, can be of no avail what. ever towards securing the prompt ani free use of the power divinely transmitted to us, nor towards guarding the liberty necessary for the Church. Such being the condition of aifairs, as we have re- peatedly deciarea and professed that, without the crime of breaking our solemn oath (at enturoniza- tion), We can consent to no conciliation which, in any Manner, would destroy or diminish the rights of God and of the Apostolic See, so now, as of our bounden duty, we deciare that we will never agree to nor S008 Pe nor can we so agree to or accept, those cunningly wrought-out safeguards, or guarantees, proposed by the Sub-Alpine govero- Tent, whatever their device; or auy others of what- sover kind, or however ratified, which, under the form of seouring our sacred power and liberty, shall have been offered to us in jeu of ana tn exchange f at civil principality with which Divine Provi- dence Willed that the holy Apostolic See should be furnished aad strengthened, and which ts ratified to us by legitimate and irrefragabie tities as well a# by possession for more than eleven centuries. For itis most clear to every one thai, were the Roman Pouuif to be suojected to the rule of anotuer prince, and not to be possessed hiunself of a real sovereignty, he could be exempt, netiher in his oWa person nor mM the acts oO; Lis apostolic ministry, from the control of that ruler to whom lie would be subject, and who might Lecome a neretic or a persecutor of the Church, or, again, might be at war with other rulers, or otherwise tu a state of ar. wand, indeed, 1s not this very concession of safe- guards of which we speak a most clear proof ihat no other right than what the will of lay rulers pre- scribes and decrees is attributed to us, who have the divinely-given authority of making laws regarding the moral and vellgious order—to us, who are cou- alituted the interpreter, throughout the worid, of natural and divine right, ‘And as to what regards the relations of the Church and civil society you kuow perfectly well, venerable brethren, that all the prerogatives and allthe rights of authority necessary to governing the universal Church have been received by us, 1b the person of the mo-t blessed Peter, directly from God himself. Nay, those prerogatives and rights and the very liberty ol the Charel were born and acquired by the blood of Jesus Christ, and are to be valued by the infinite price of His divine blood, Ill, then, would we deserve of the d vine blood of our Redeemer, were we—which God foy- bid—to hotrow thesé our rights, espectally tes. wened and debased as they wish to lend (yen, from rulers of the ear. whe ara OUR UOb masters of | mitted to your Care, as a pledge of our espec: UNE the Church, Thus said to princes, fittingly, that | great iight of sanctity and doctrine, Anseiui, Arca- bishop of Canterbury “Think not that the Church ot God is given you as to a master, to make use of her, but that she is commended to you as her advocate and champion. ee more pleases God thag the liberty of His And the same saint wrote in another place, adding incentives to duty:— “Never count that your dignity 1s lessened if you defend and cherish the liberty of the Church.

ON Horace’s Views on Old Subjects and New-The Ku Klux and the New Departure of the Democracy-His Reply to Criti- cism—Wants No Office. The Repuoiican General Committee got up a re- ception for Horace Greeley last evening, 10 honor of lus safe return irom that Southern tour, and to give the venerable philosopher a chance to tell some- ‘ing of what he had seen aad how he had behaved himseif while on his journey. The hour fixed for the ovation was nine o'clock, and, punctual to his appointment, Mr, Greeley ar- rived at the Lincoln Club Rooms, In Union square, about that time. The rooms were crowded with politicians of the radical stripe, who, on the old nian’s arrival, set up a series of cheers, many of the Uk seizing the hands, coat tails, body and legs of the plilosopuer, all at the same time, to express their appreciation of bis well known merits, But the fulminatton of the hero of ihe hour was not to be delivered iuside of the building, and a ros- frum was therefore put up immediately in front, which was decorated with United Stutes lags, two tables for reporters, one light (a second jamp was subsequently procured) and a small table best le the speaker, on which burned a candle stuck into a bottle, Two caleium Hgnts threw a lurid glare from either side ofthe park, stood in front of the platform, As Mr, rooms he was surrounded py a number of the ‘Pwenty-thivd street orators, famed in political eam- paty During the mare! near the platform played “flome Again, Again,” which melancholy melody was followed by the air to which is sung that tanetfal poem, “In Par Excellence the [doi of the Day,’ which was most in- congrtionsly suggestive of that peculiar evolution of theatrical singers while the chorus to that song is going on, After these preliminartes Mr, seley stood erect before his audience, while cheers were being called for, and without eyen a smile or a bow commenced his address, [t 18 needless to say that it was largely political and introduced In no small degrees the everlasting slavery question. Preparatory to this, however, the speaker gave a rather minute account of the sev speeches he had delivered down South, Amoug the principal topics touched upon were the Ku_ Kiux, the thieving carpet-bag, and the “new departure’? That the Ku Klux dtd exist in No possible reason to tainty, But these o! the democracy, the South, he said, there ¥ act, Was a paint mien mostly condned themsel poor negroes. Those people who were anxious to at) x ¢ of the Ka Klux should re- mer 4 South Carolina Seymour and Blair receiv dover thirty thousand votes, and this when the total number of votes on the registry in that State was ouly thirty thousand. “It Was said that the Ku Kiux arose out of th present staie of the South, and that thieving carpet-baggers also ext there, Le South and that thieving republicans wi found in the North, But outof a hundred thousand ofa community in which there were one hundred robbers we alway, rd more of the robbers Uian of all the rest. ‘There were nodie republicans in the Sonih, heart and soul in the republican cause; but not so noble were they as the women who wi there teaching the negro children, and who, for doing, were ostracized frum white — society. These thieving carpet-baggers were doing much harm to the republican cause, for having crept into soine of the ofices they seemed to be republican representatives. For his part he be- lieved if Wag much better that the Toombses, the Wises and the Wade Hamptons should be tn tie halls of theSouthern Legislatures and in Congress. Tt was much better to bave Southern first rate men representing the Sout than to have second rate men. If four rs ago there had been universal aimnest and impartial snffrage reconstruction woud bi been advanced much fnriher than it stood now. He was glad wo sev that the democracy had made a ‘new aepart- ure.” Whether tus would finally aifect the Hragieet of the republican party in the country he could not say, but even if the democracy we:e to be In power aud to rule the natton, provided slavery were for ever dead, he would thank God that he had been permitted to live in that part of # ceatury in which such a result was attained. It Would take a long tle, however, 10 convince the people, and especially the bla that the ecemo- cracy were im earnest about believing Im equal righis for all men. ‘Their present policy was to ac- knowledge the force of the three amendiaents to the constitution; but to say whether this was only to be until they got the power in their own hands to break up What bad been aceomplished belonged to the future. Some of the other Interesting potuts touched apon by the speaker were his assertion to Southerners that they had been the cause of the war, for it was they who had taken the guns and amuuition of the United States and turned them against the govern- Ment; and his explanation of how it was he had been brougnt go often belore the people as a candl- date for office, The truth was, he said, that every time he had been a udidate for onice he and nis party that his election was Impossivle, grateful to those who had placed hin always ahead Oo! his ticket he had no thanks to give the republican party. He thought he was now about even in re. ceipts with the party, and he did not desire any | more nominations, and sought for no office. Yet he Was ready not to reinse @ pomination, though he de- sired ai (lis tine of Ife rest and quiet.
