It is alleged that before making the attack the Dutchmen locked their captain in Ilia cabin. The British smack succeeded in escaping and ar rived at Ostend, where the captain lodged a complaint with the British consul. Train Wrecked By Dynamite.

San Francisco, Nor. 16. —In one of the most unsatisfactory prize fights ever witnessed in this country, James J. JefTries proved the victor last night over Gus Ituhlin, the Akron giant. In the fifth round of what was to have been a 20-round struggle Ituhlin wilted and then surrendered to his peer, to the utter amazement and disgust of the assembled thousands. No one was more surprised at the outcome than Jeffries himself, who asserted that while he had delivered one telling blow in the second round, he did not expect to win the victory so easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation of the out come of the flght is that he received a chance blow which utterly disabled him, and that Jeffries persisted in fighting him low. The spectators rose as one man and cheered the champion, while they de nounced Kuhlln as a quitter and fakir. The police tumbled Into the ring, stopped two fights in which Corbett, the referee, and officers of the club were involved. The utmost excite ment prevailed, during which Ruhlin made his way out of the ring. While some expressions were heard In the throng after the fight, placing the stigma of a fake on the manage ment, it was the concensus of opinion that Ruhlin fought a losing battle In order to obtain the short end of an enormous prize. It is estimated that there was some thing over $40,000 realized at the box office, and of this 62V& per cent., di vided in purses of 75 and 25 per cent., goes to the participants. On behalf of Tom Sharkey, Tim Mc- Grath challenged the winner of the contest. Almost from the beginning of the flght Ruhlin appeared frightened. The fight was practically finished In the second round, when Jeffries landed a left hook on the jaw that took all the fight out of Ruhlin. Ruhlin claimed that a chance blow in the pit of the stomach rendered him unfit for fight ing. His seconds complained bitterly, but Ruhlin insisted that he was the victim of an accident. VESSEL WRECKED IN FOG Captain and Crew Were Lashed to Rigging For 36 Hours. St. Johns. N. F., Nov. 18. —The bar kentine Titania, from Liverpool for St. Johns, was wrecked on Saturday In a dense fog near Cape Race. One man, Williams, lost his life in trying to reach the shore. The captain and the rest of the crew, all of whom were badly injured, had a terrible experi ence. They were on the wreck for 3<! hours, lashed to the rigging, and wore not rescued until yesterday afternoon. So thick was the fog that the coast folk were not aware that a wreck had occurred, the crew being unable to make any signals that would attract attention. The fact that the Titania was in a cove between the cliffs made it impossible for the crew to land. The ship is a total wreck and the cargo is lost.
