Baltimore, Feb. 23.—The British steamship V it-tori a arrived here Wed nesday from Hull via Hampton Roads, with four of the crew of the missing Hamburg-American liner Bulgaria. The rescued mariners are Second Mate Scharges. Quartermasters Carl Ludtke and John Sehulz, and Seaman William Stark. They were picked up by the Yittoria from an open boat of the Bul garia 31/j, hours after they had been cast adrift on February 5. These, with the 25 women and children who were picked up by the tank steamer Wee* hawken and landed in l'onta del en and tried to • jiiiet the beasts that remained. This failing, as did also the attempt to force tiie frenzied animals overboard, their throats were cut. Before the mad dened animals were dispatched, how ever, the butcher had both his legs broken and one of the seamen was badly injured. Any idea that our troubles were over was soon dispelled when it was found that the vessel was leaking. A I the hatch coverings had been blown off and before they could be replaced four of the seven holds filled and all had considerable water in t hem. "The cargo next shifted, listing the steamer heavily to port, in addition the carcasses of the dead horses wash ed aport, adding to the heavy list. For 72 hours passengers and crew worked like slaves, throwing cargo overboard to lighten ship, but it was of little avail. Inch by inch the ship settled and as she sank deeper the waves washed with greater force over her. One wave carried away eight of the life boats and with these went much of the hope from the hearts of passen gers and crew. At 4 o'clock on the morning of the sth the order was given to call all hands on deck to prepare to take -to the small boats. The water had flooded the engine room and four pumps could not keep it down. It was then up to the grate bars, but the fire men still managed to keep the fires burning. Kaeh passenger and seaman was given a life preserver and the re maining boats were gotten ready and provisioned. Shortly after daylight three steamers (Weeliawken, Yittoria and Koordistan) hove in sight." The second officer thinks there is lit tle likelihood that the Bulgaria weath ered the storm that night, as she was sinking when he 1 "ft her. Dreyfus' Innocence Proven. Paris, Feb. 23.—The Soir announces that M. Manu, the procurateur general, will submit iiis report in the Dreyfus affair next week. The report will ask the court of cassation, it is said, to an nul the conviction without ordering a retrial. If this is correct it shows that the evidence before the court not only proves Dreyfus innocent, but that the crime for which he was punished never existed, as the French law allows the court of cassation to quash a sentence without retrial only wh?n there is proof that the offense alleged was never perpetrated. LOUBET SUCCEEDS FAURE. (election of a President In I'rance In lollovnl l>y Tumult In I'arin. Paris, Feb. 20.- The national assem bly met at Versailles on Saturday and elected M. Lou bet president of the French republic. The vote stood: Lou bet 483, Meline 279, scat tering 50. During the rioting Saturday night over the election of M. Loubet Iti per sons were injured, including 14 police men. One journalist received a blow on the head with a loaded stick and was so badly injured that he was re moved to a hospital, where he now lies in a serious condition. Two hundred and fifty arrests were made and 142 of those taken into custody are still at the station houses, being held on charges of carrying concealed weap ons. Toward 7 o'clock last evening dem onstrations occurred in front of the office of Sebastian Faure's anarchist paper, the Journal du Peuple, on the Boulevard Montmarte, for and against Loubet. There was a collision between the rival factions anil several persons were injured. The partisans of the newly elected president were worsted in the conflict and moved off to the Cafe Brebant, where they were again attacked and dispersed by their oppo nents. Many arrests were made. Sim ilar encounters occurred at the office of llii' Libre Parole and more serious disorders at the Brasserie Maxeville, on the Boulevard Montmarte, where several women were trampled and in jured. A fracas also took place at the Cafe Des Panoramas, where blows were freely exchanged. In both cases the police intervened energetically, arrest ing many. At 11 o'clock an enormous crowd demonstrated in favor of M. Zola. Toward midnight crowds broke the windows of the Rothschilds* offices in the Hue Lafitte, and another group wrecked the offices of the Anti-Juifi. According to the Figaro, President Loubet is surprised at the hostility of which he is the object and has said: "No one has a rsght to say I am a Dreyfusite or an anti-Dreyfusite. I am with a majority of the nation for truth, supported by justice." SCHLEY'S ANSWER In a I.etter to a Senate Committee lie Kcplicm to Official Criticism. Washington, Feb. 21.—Rear Admiral Schley, having been granted permis sion to answer the charges recently made against liim in the communica tion recently sent to the senate, has handed to the committee on naval af fairs his statement in which be dis claims liny purpose of controversy with the navy department. The letter of the department, he says, so far as it relates to him, can be summarized un der the following heads: "The delay off Cienfuegos; the al leged slow progress toward Santiago from Cienfuegos; the retrograde move ments on the 20th and 37th of May; tire battle of Santiago and the destruc tion of Cervera's fleet." The admiral says his orders from Sampson on May 19 were I n blockade Cienfuegos, which he proceeded to do. As to the slow progress toward San tiago on account of the Eagle, he states that she was a part of the force which Sampson had seen fit to send him and he had no right to abandon her. The weather also was rough and not much better speed could have been kept up. Speaking of"the retrograde move ments" which the secretary, adapting the language of Sampson, characterizes as "reprehensible conduct," Admiral Schley says that in 42 years' service "never was such language used to char acterize conduct of mine and 1 see no reason for it now." As to the battle of Santiago, Schley says the facts of that contest speak for themselves. He quotes from his official report to Sampson in which he congratulated the commander of the squadron and said the "victory seems big enough for all of us." He asks the committee to contrast his reports and those of Sampson containing refer ences to himself. In conclusion, Schley contends that the turn of the Brooklyn in the battle of July 3 was"the deciding feature of the combat and of decided advantage." LoMt lii the VI ilrfi'riic'M*.

A DISPLAY OF FORCE. II Hill Accompany an Inquiry aw to Why Mearagua "lluliln Ip" Ollldal Teletcraino to I ncle Nam. Washington, Feb. 23. Nicaragua has again offended the I'nited States, and is to be called to account for her im polite action. Apparently at the in stance of the Niearftguan government, such a strict censorship has been ap plied to all cable and telegraph lines controlled by President Zelaya that it has been impossible for either the state or navy departments to communicate with their agents. Protests made to Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minister 'here, are of no avail. Protests to the cable companies have produced no re sult. The administration has finally determined to take the matter in its own hands and has ordered a naval iu vestigation preparatory to such action as may seem proper. The cruiser Detroit will make the investigation. Hei commanding otli cer. Commander Dayton, lias been or dered to proceed with his vessel front New Orleans to Blueffelds, Nicaragua, where he will consult with Commander Symonds, commanding the Marietta, now there, and deliver to him the in structions tthe navy department has been vainly trying to send by cable. The Detroit will then proceed to Grey town, where Dayton will make an in vestigation into Nicaragua's peculiar action, lie will be assisted in his in <|iiiry by Commander Symonds, who will remain at liluefields, the center of the revolution, to provide protection for American citizens and interests. MANILA ABLAZE. A Ureal ICire Ilendcr* llundred* of People Hotnele»»— I'iulitiiin In the Street*. Manila, Feb. 2.'i.—lmmense damage has been done by tires which are be lieved to have been started by insur gents last night. The tire department experienced great difficulty in fighting the flames, owing to defective appara tus. It is reported that the natives damaged the apparatus. There was some lighting in the streets during the night, but the Americans quickly quell ed the uprising. A number of the insurgents were killed anul several American soldiers were wounded. A large market place was among the first to burn. Between 600 and 700 residence and business houses were destroyed. Shortly after midnight another big fire was started in the Tondo district, where the natives are thickest, and when the firemen and soldiers attempt ed to work a fusillade of rifle and re volver shots were fired from tin? win dows and roofs of the buildings. Bullets flew in every direction in ev ery street in the Tondo and Binondo districts, causing intense excitement. Capt. Robinson, of Company C, Thir teenth Minnesota, and three men were wounded. Many timid persons, imag ining that the rebels had effected an entrance through the American lines and were advancing into the city, hur ried frantically from the hotels and houses, only to be stopped ;i/t the first corner by a guard. .Ilh lilsun I.enl<>n«lii|>.

She I» a I'rlnro*", Named I'H'iini". and l> said to He a Very I'retly tjlrl Indeed. The belle of Samoa is the dusky beau ty whose photograph you see here. Ute is the daughter of the late King Malie toa, and it represents her ina fanay na tive dress worn on the occasion of the wedding of a relative to a chief of high rank. Her name is Fa'muu. Four years ago, when she was sent to the Tongan, or Friendly islands, to be educated, she became engaged to be married to the THE BELLE OF SAMOA. (She Is a Princess by Birth, and Quite a Flirt.) young king of the islands, the engage ment being afterward broken forarea son which, after the native custom, was never made public. Fa'muu is now 20 years old, having been born in the village of Mulinuu, in December, 1878. Her latest romance is with a young German officer, llerr Otto Schiller, at tached to the kaiser's consulate at Samoa. Being a princess, she appears at many of the swell diplomatic recejv 'tions at Apia. On these occasions she dons some European adornments These are mostly jewels, of which she is passionately fond. Pearl necklaces are Iter especial delight. She will wear half a dozen of these, so as tocomplete ly drape her breast. But for the flimsy fabrics that most women sigh for she cares not nt all. The traditions of her race are decidedly against overdressing and,"newwoman" as she is, she clings to her people's tastes in this respect. Ilerr Schiller, it is rumored, is at tracted to this Samoan belle not' only on account of her dusky charms, but by a craving to win high standing among the natives by marrying a princess of the blood royal. This would mean almost untold wealth. HISTORICAL PULPIT. John Wesley, tlir Father of Method. I*lll, Preached Hi* First Sermon from It. Tn nearly all of the churches of Eng land will be found relics of the days long gone by. None, however, is of more interest than those of the little church of South Leigh in Oxfordshire In fact, there are three relics of con siderable importance in that lovely little edifice. Among these is an in (From It John Wesley Preachad Ma.ny a Sermon.) • teresting and exquisite fresco of the fifteenth century, which was brought to light a few years ago. It repre sents the "Judgment of Souls" and is painted on one of the side walls. While the visitor is naturally attract ed to this queer painting, he usually is more interested in a little wooden pulpit standing at one side of the church near the altar rail. It has an unimportant appearance and it is not until the visitor has examirsd the little polished brass plate that he be gins to grow enthusiastic. The pul pit is the one from which John Wesley preached his first sermon. The litVie tablet on one of the panels records this fact. Christian Science Church. In an address delivered at a Christian Science meeting in Brooklyn recently the statement was made that there are seven Christian Scientist churches in Greater New York and 13 in the in*me diate vicinity, 38 churches and congre gations in the state of New York and about 30,000 adherents of the faith in the state. It was also claimed that there are 1,000,000 Christian Scientists in this country. Strength «112 a Muahrnom.

A GRAND CELEBRATION. Anniversary of tlie Revolutions Birth Is Observed. GAVE TO HIM EVERY HONOR. The Veteran Leader of t'nba'a Army IK Accorded a Most Kiitliiiftiaatic Hr< ceptlon lij tlie I'eople of the City and American Official*. Havana. Feb. 25.—Gen. Maximo Go mez entered Havana 1' rid ay afternoon, escorted by Gen. Ludlow and his st,i tY. The population of the city was wild with enthusiasm, throwing themselves in front of his horse, impeding its pro gress. and pelting him with flowers. Gome/ arrived on the edge of the escorted by the Second Illinois band town from Marianao at 12:.10 p. in., and three battalions. These battalions then returned to their camp and did not enter the city. The festivities in honor of the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the Cuban struggle for independence were most spontaneous and wildly enthusiastic. Havana had never seen anything like it before. I he whole town was decorated anil the streets were packed with a crowd twice as large as that which turned out at the Garcia funeral. At half-past 12 Gomez left Cerro, the suburb from which the march was to be made, with a procession in the fol lowing .order of formation: The band of the Seventh regiment, mounted, playing the Cuban hymn and national airs: Company L of the Seventh caval rv, the staff of Gomez with escort. Ma via Rodriguez and staff, Maximo Gomez, upon whose right was Gen. Ludlow : the members of Gen. Ludlow's stalT, then a great number of Cubans, some mounted and some in carriages, and finally 2,000 Cuban cavalry and in fantry. As Gomi z passed the crowd went wild with vivas, hats were tiling in the air and women showered flowers Oil all sides. lie flowed and raised his hat incessantly as the crowd struggled to get near his horse and clung to the animal's sides as long as possible. The procession stopped frequently, eventu ally filing into the main streets of the city, passing Central park and arriving at the palace at 2:30. The I'ratio and other avenues were lined with patriotic clubs, talcing up various positions of vantage, 'and then joining the procession as it passed on from the palace, from a balcony of which it was reviewed by Gomez. At the palace the Cuban commander was welcomed by Federieo Mora, the civil governor; Mayor liacoste, the members of the city council, the Junta Pat riot 1- oa, the members of the assembly, the officials of all classes and numerous pa triotic elulis. The place was beautiful ly decorated and all previous efforts in the display of banners and bunting were surpassed by the almost endless showing of silk-embroidered standards and tings. hundreds of which were car ried by Havana's daughters. The Cuban bands played the Cuban national hymn, varying this with "Dixie," "The Star Spangled Banner," "The Stars and Stripes Forever and popular American marches. No fewer than 25,000 people were in line, requiring three hours to pass. The horses of the Cuban cavalry are scrawny and ill-fed and the eavalrymen are clad in a vague Cuban uniform. All carried Itemington carbines with non descript bundles of clothing and bed din»- The enthusiasm of the crowd was di rected to Gomez and certain well known commanders, rather than to the troops themselves. As compared with the way the American populace wel comes back soldiers —the men who have done most and suffered most the Cuban troops seemed neglected. After the review at the palace, Go mez, accompanied by his staff, pro ceeded to EI Yedado to visit Gen. Brooke. In the evening he attended the charity ball at the Taeon theater. Boxes for the function sold at a high premium. As darkness approached the streets were still crowded, fireworks were exploded and the returning bands played over and over again the national hymn.

There was not a single incident worth recording from the time the streets were cleared until day dawned this morning.
