SATURNUS DISASTER Mail Advices Give Details of the Affair. LOOIED AND BURNED BY REBELS. The Cargo of the Lost Vessel Was Valuable and Included, $40,000. Crew and Passengers safe and Expected Soon at Manila. lVASI-IINGTON, Sept. 15.—A report has been received by mail at the war de- partment giving an account of the cap- ture and destruction of the steamer Sa- turnus, which carried $40,000 in cash and a valuable cargo. The report follows: “The United States gunboat Pampan- ga arrived here yesterday morning bring- ing news of the capture of'the steamer Saturnus, belonging to the Compania Maritime. “The facts, as gathered from those who know, are as follows: The Saturnus sailed from Manila on the morning of July 30 for San Fernando de la Union, on the north side of the gulf of Lingayan; (lavayan, Currimao and Aparri, all of which are northern ports. It is supposed the vessel arrived 01f San Fernando on the 31st ultimo. “When discovered by the gunboat Pampanga, she was lying with her nose buried in the sand of the shore south of the city of San'Fernando. Both anchors Were out and smoke, which hovered close- ly over the vessel, showed her to be on fire. Small boats, with native crews, could be seen carrying the cargo of the burning vessel ashore. “Little suspecting the true condition of aifairs, the gunboat Pampanga sent a boat out to the burning vessel to investi- gate, but upon the approach of the boat with her American bluejackets the na- tives immediately retired and opened fire upon the boat’s crew, using Mauser and Remingtdn rifles, from concealed trenches and ‘sending shells from two and three fix}; Ups, which formed a concealed battery; cradled close to the little boat. r~ -“.The watchful officers on the Pampan- ga in‘unediately ordered the fire from the rebel trenches to be returned by the crew of the gunboat, and under cover of the guns of the warship the boat reached the Shturnus. A brief inspection of the ves- sel showed every indication that she had been looted by the rebels, but the exami- nation failed to disclose any sign of the crew or anything to indicate that a strug— gl'e’ had taken place on board. The boat‘s crew then attempted to raise the anchors. hint failing in this they cut the anchor chains and attached a hawser from the Pampanga to the propeller of the Satur- nus. An attempt was then made to pull her out of the mud and sand, but was unsuccessful. “The Pampanga then abandoned the wrecked Saturnus and signaled the Con— cord, which was sighted as she was cross- V ing the gulf of Lingayan, and reported all the facts of the discovery to her com- mander. The Pampanga thereupon was ordered to Manila to report the alfair, while the Concord remained to attend the rebels and the wreck When the gun— ‘ boat left the scene, tbs flames on the Saturnus had enveloped the vessel, and she, to all appearances, was doomed. “The Saturnus was commanded by Captain Antonio Araluca and had two officers, three engineers and a crew of 36 natives. It is supposed that all were taken prisoners by the rebels. “The cargo of the vessel consisted of 520 cases of petroleum of ten gallons to the case, 300 demijohns of wine, 143 bar- rels of wine, 80 sacks of rice, 10 cases of linen cloth, 7 cases of money containing $40,000 in cash and 1,946 packages and bales of various kinds. In addition to the cargo the vessel carried 28 passen- gers, all of whom were either Filipinos or Chinese.” , A subsequent report received here states that the crew and passengers of the Saturnus were all safe and uninjured at Tarlac, the Filipino capital. It was expected that the crew and passengers would arrive in Manila soon, as it was said that they were free to go where_thcy pleased unmolested. The Saturnus was fully insured against loss, including the risk of war. Pray For American Occupation. \VASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—-—Mail ad— vices received at the war department from Manila state that the natives of the island of Zamar are praying for the speedy arrival of the Americans and will welcome the hoisting of the American flag.

They have no faith in the, 'l‘agalos, and they earnestly desire American protection. Engagement at Balomno. WASHINGTON, Sept.

Ills Greetings to the Nebraska Troops Refill by Meiklejohn. OMAHA, Sept. 15.—In his address to the First Nebraska regiment yesterday Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn said: “It is with deep regret that I have to announce to you that afiairs of state pre- clude President McKinley from being present with us on this occasion. To the volunteers of Nebraska he sends by me his greetings and congratulations in these words: - “ ‘Pressure of public business prevents me from accepting the very cerdial invi- tation extended to participate in the we]. come to be accorded the First Nebraska volunteers. It is a source of great regret to me that I shall be unable to be pres‘ cut, and while I cannot give myself that pleasure I am glad to have this opportu- nity to express to the officers and men of the regiment my sincere greetings and congratulations. “ ‘The Nebraska volunteers were among the first to respond to the call of the ex- ecutive. How conspicuously they have realized every patriotic expectation is known to their state and country. With the other splendid regiments of volun- teers and regulars they rendered devoted and uncomplaining service; for months they refused to avail themselves of the privilege of muster out; they sustained and strengthened the government; they stood by the flag and kept it stainless. “ ‘At this time of homecoming and re union it is a source of deep gratification that the health of the regiment is good, its morale of the best and that the losses sustained have been~no greater, although relatively larger than in most of those serving in the Philippines. “ ‘Our thoughts go out to the absent ones who by sickness or death have made devoted sacrifice in the nation’s service. The families of these brave men have out loving sympathy, and the heroism of their deeds will grow brighter with each passing year. “ ‘I send every good wish that the wel' come given to the First Nebraska may be most generous and patriotic.’ ” CAPTAIN TILLMAN’S COMMAND.
