OOOOONOLOO HORROR
THE BESGUEDE PASSENGERS.
The Names '0! All but Three of the For-
tunate Ones Have Been Learned—Pre-
vious Accidents on Manzanillo‘s
Trencher-one Coast.
CITY or Msxrco, Juno 1.—Not a single
press dispatch has yet been received over
the government wires from Manzanillo.
The single wire circuit between Manza-
nillo and the City of Mexico has been kept
at a glowing beat all day with oflicial talc-
grams addressed to and sent by Secretary
of War Don Hinojaza, though a few have
also been received by Major R. D. Gor-
such, the Mexican representative of the
Pacific Mail in this capital. The gist of
the dispatches received up to this time is
as follows:
At about 8 o’clock on the morning of
the 27th, in latitude 18.38 north and
longitud0104.14 west, the Colima struck
a poworful veering wind and was driven
on a coral reef and sunk with a large hole
stove in her side near the prow. Captain
J. F. Taylor, after, displaying masterly
skill in the management of his ship, was
killed byafalling mast. The first pilot
and first engineer Wore also killed. and
soon after the boat struck she went down
in 480 fathcms'of water. Nearly 24 hours
later 'the coast line steamer San Juan,
passing along. picked up 16 survivors and
carried them into port. Five others swam
ashore and five more—three cabin passen-
gers and two saloon—were subsequently
rescued by a government boat sent out by
the Pacific Mail company’s agent at Man-
zanillo. One hundred and eighty passen-
gers are known to have been drowned, and
26 were saved.
Some Rescued Passengers.
The names of three cabin passengers res-
cued by the government boat are not yet
learned, but the names of the others are
as follows: Thomas Barbaria, Charles
Cushing, Jr. ; A. J. Sutherland, K. H.
Thornton, Domingo Albano, W. H. Boyd,
G. Rowan, Bruno Gerda, J. Antonio Solis.
George D. Ross, Louis Sangieness, T. J.
Oriel, Juan Bamos, Carlos Ruiz, John E.
Manuen, Angel Gictra and Sailors Hansen,
Avilero, Garonsenter, Richardson and
Fish. .
The Colima is apparently a total loss
and rcsttndsthc W'of the sea about 30
miles below Manzanillo beside the coral
roof which, stove in the vessel. The steam-
er lies on her side in 600 meters of water.
The Colima had on board 3100, 000 in Mex-
ican money, shipped from Mazatlan and
insured by Echueguerrcn Bros. of that
place They at once reported by wire to
the war department at the City of Mexico
and asked its rescue. Immediate orders
were thereupon issued to the commander
of the Oaxaca to aid in the rescue work.
M. E. Yazaguirre, commander of the port
of Acapulco, at 5 o’clock this afternoon re-
ceived the following dispatch from Vogel
& 00., the Pacific Mail agents at Man-
zanillo:
"Colima totally lost 30 miles southeast
of Manzanlllo and six miles from the coast.
_,“The Mexican steamer Romero Rubio
was sent to hunt for passengers. It has
returned, giving information of the saving
at Coahuayana of three cabin passengers
and tw0 sailors. Up to date there are re-
pcrted 96 persons saved and 187 drowued.
There were 218 persons aboard. We will
send the saved passengers out by the Bar-
scouts; which comes for that purpose to-
marrow to embark the passengers, less the
17 already taken for the north by the
steamer San Juan. ”
A Dangerous Coast.
The coast in the neighborhood of Man-
ranilio seems a fatal spot. Nearly all of
the wrecks of the Panama route have oo«
Manzanilio. Three vessels have been lost
in that neighborhood, and these are the
only large vessels of the Panama line that
have been wrecked.
Another remarkable fact is that all were
lost in still weather, indicating some pecul-
iar condition of the currents setting in at
this point and driving the vessels in upon
the shore.
. The first and most noted of the losses
was the wreck of the Golden Gate, which
was burned and wrecked only a few miles
north of Manzanillo. Here the loss of life
exceeded 200, and it has gone down in his-
tor'y as the greatest marine horror of the
coast. The cause of this wreck has never
been definitely settled. It occurred in 1862.
The Granada went down J nos 22, 1869,
at Point Tejupan, some miles north of
Manzanillo. No lives were lost, but the
vessel while rounding the point went
ashore and Was a total loss. The captain
always contended that some unknowu cur-
rent changed his course and drove the
steamer ashore. The Nicaragua, one of
the Mexican coasting fleet of the Pacific
Mail company, was driven ashore on the
Salvador coast near Acajutla by the wind
and the currents. ‘
The steamer was lost on Tartar shoals
in the early eighties. These shoalsare'just
south of Acapulco and are perilous to nav-
igation. .
The Honduras was driven ashore off
Salvador and was lost in the eighties. The
steamer City of New York was the last
Pacific Mail steamer lost. During heavy
fogs she was wrecked in October, 1893, at
the entrance to San Francisco harbor.

Breaking Up of a Gang That Has Ter-
rorized New York City.
OATH BOUND ORGANIZATION.
A. Triple Alliance of Incendiaries Revealed
by One of the Scoundrels—Insur-
ance Adjusters Said to Have
Moon the Instigators.
NEW YORK, June 1.—Following close
upon the twosccrc of apparently incen-
diary flrcs on the upper west side during
the last three months comes the startling
revelation that there are three regularly
organized gangs of firebugs in this city,
who are in the pay of insurance adjusters,
and bound by horrible oaths to imperil the
lives and property of New Yorkers for a
few paltry dollars, and not to disclose their
secrets under penalty of brutal torture.
Months ago during a series of incon-
diary fires on the lower east side there Was
printed the belief of Fire Marshal Mitchel
that those fires were kindled by mercenary
wrctches at the instigation of creatures
whose insatiatc greed stopped at nothing.
not even the roasting alive of innocent
men, women and children in their beds.
The trial of Grauer, now in Sing Sing,
last February, only strengthened this be-
lief, but it remained for the confession of
Adolf Hirschkopf, a member of this triple
alliance of pillagcrs, to show conclusively
that the instigators of cold blooded con-
spiracy were robbers of insurance com-
panies, Whose interests they were hired to
protect.
It is believed, too, that the confession of
Hirschkopf will load to the arrest of the
incendiaries who are responsible for some,
if not all, of the many fires in the Colum-
bus avenue and Harlem districts. That
the police, ’in spite of their apparent inac-
tivity in the past, are now close on the
trail of this gang, there seems to be little
doubt.
The Leader of the Gang.
Morris Schoonhauor. Whose real name
the police say is Mark Sehoenhclz, the
alleged leader of the gang, was arrested
last Wednesday by Detective McCaulcy of
the central office.
He has been arraigned twice in Yorkvillc
police court, and each time remanded back
to police headquarters by J usticc Ryan,
without any of the evidence being made
public. This was done to enable the de-
tectivc to make other arrests. '
In the meantime Schoenhaucr has been
kept in close confinement at police head-
quarters, and has not been allowad to com-
municate with his friends or relatives.
Warrants have been issued for about a
dozen more persons charged with arson,
but as yet the police have not located the
persons wanted.
The arrest of Schoenhauer and the issu-
ing of warrants for the other members of
the gang are the direct results of a written
confession made by Hirschkopf, who is un-
der indictment for arson both in this city
and Lynn, Mass. Hirschkopf is now in
the custody of Fire Marshal Mitchel and
will'be the chief witness against Insurance
Adjuster Samuel Milch, whose trial for
arson will follow that of Police Inspector
McLaughlin in the court of oycr and ter-
miner.
Hirschkopf’s confession revealed the fact
that there have been three organized bands
of incondiarles in the city.
The Three Despicable Bands.
The members of the gangs, known as
Isaacs’, G'rauer’s and Milch’s, are oath
bound and have regular headquarters.
The conspiracy is known as the "Dark
Secret," and cash member was duly in-
itiated. Schocnhauer is said to have been
the head 01‘ "chief mechanic” of the gang
which fired the west side apartment houses,
the headquarters of which was in a saloon
in Suffolk street. .
According to Hirschkopf, who fled to San
Francisco at the time of his indictment
several months ago, they tried to burn to
death Simon Roscnbaum, who was sus-
pected of: betraying the conspiracy, in a
fire which he started at Lynn. Mass.
Roscnbanm, who was formerly the
“chief mechanic” of the Issues gang, was
frightfully burned, and upon his recovery
was the principal witness against Adjust-
er Grauer on his trial last February.
Roscnbaum then testified that he know
one member of the gang who was driven
insane by torture, because his fellow con-
spirators suspected he was a traitor.
Hirschkopf returned to this city and was
promised immunity if he would turn
state’s evidence. He did so and has been
giving valuable information to the dis-
trict attorney and Fire Marshal Mitchel
regarding the methods of the three gangs
and their members.

The Significance of adenine Rise In
Wheat and Cotton.
MANY FAVORABLE earners.“
R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade
Points Out Promising Conditions—The
Wheat and Cotton Enigma. ’
Failures of the “'eek.
NEW Yonn. J 11110 1.-—-B. G. Dun &.
Co’s weekly review of trade says: More
farrcaching than any other change during
the past week, if really warranted by facts,
is the continued rise in prices of wheat and
cotton. Real scarcity of either would af-
fect all business. Happily there is still
room to hope that acounts of injury are
greatly exaggerated. although there has
been some evidence during the week that
both the great crops have suffered more
than at first appeared. Other changes are
almost all favorable and some highly en~
couraging. Labor troubles are clearly less
threatening. Monetary conditions are sat-
isfactory, and the substantial increase in
the commercial demand is a. good sign.
Exchanges through the clearing house have
been greatly inflated by speculation, and
at this time last year were out down by
the coal strike, and toward the end of May,
1893 greatly reduced by bank failures, but
for the Week they execed last year’s by 19
per cent and fall only 5.6 per cent below
those of 1893, while the daily average for
May is 26.9 per cent larger than last year,
but 7.1 per cent less than in 1893.
Stock speculation has shrunk. to less
than half its volume three Weeks ago and
is almost wholly confined to rofossionals,
in spite of better earnings. he aggregate
for May is 6.8 per cent larger than last
year, but 13.8 per cent less than in 1893,
causes above menticned affecting the com-
parison with both years. West hound ton~
nage is large, but cast bound from Chica-
go in four weeks has been 184,758 tons.
against 206, 995 last year, and 310,528 in
1898. London has done scarcely anything.
though still taking bonds enough to pre-
vent disturbance of exchange. The decline
in railroad stock. averages but 44 cents per
share, and grain carrying roads are eup~
ported with such tenacity as to show that
railroad managers and owners have very
small faith in reports of injury to grain.
.The-‘Vheat Enigma.
“ Wheat. on the other hand, is largely
supported by public buying, and the pur-
chasing orders from farming-Tog’ions are
supposed to indicate an opinion of the
yield. Yet wheat comes forward freely,
as it would not at current prices if a short
crop were assured, and Western receipts
for the month have been 5,944,574 bushels,
against 5,525,258 last year.
lantic exports reflect increased haste to
buy abroad,amounting in four weeks, flour
included, to 6,183,420 bushels, against
9,716,097 last year. Accounts still indi-
cate that spring wheat was not injured
and promises Well in spite of some hot
days, but ina few of the winter wheat
states the yield has been cut down, how
much cannot yet be judged. The sale of
the great stock held by the Fair estate at
San Francisco will lessen the European
demand upon Atlantic stocks. Corn is 2%
cents lower, pork 2:”; cents and hogs 20
cents per 100 pounds, but lard is 10 cents
per 100 pounds higher.
Cotton continues strong because it is be-
licved there will be much reduction in
yield per acre, as Well as in acreage. No
estimate based on definite information
puts the decrease in acreage at more than
13.5 per cent, which with a yield per acre
equal to last year‘s would mean a' crop of
18,400,000 bales. Months must pass before
there can be anything definite as to the
probable yield person unless widespread
disaster comes, but the market has been
acting as if the future were known. Spec-
ulation has diminished in volume, and the
fact that takings cf spinners have cxccod- '
ed the maximum consumption over 400,-
000 bales in northern states and about
twice as much abroad makes the commer-
cial stocks in sight. 3,384,552 bales last
week, lock still larger. The advance this
week has been only a sixteenth, ‘and it is
supposed that the stronger speculators
have realized. The manufacture is doing
Well, though not all the machinery is em-
ployed, but the demand has been better,
and there are occasional advances in prices
of goods.
Resumption and Increases.
The Olnoyvilla woolen mills will open
Monday, responding to a request signed.
by some employees, to see if enough will
return to make general resumption profit-
able. Twc or three other mills have gran t-
ed some increase of wages, but in most
branches the manufacture contends with
serious difficulties New orders are scarce,
and some mills are running short. An-
other mill has reduced the price of ex super
ingrain carpets 6 cents. and while thereis
still hope of good fall business in men’s
woolens, of which medium and some high
priced will be opened about July 8, the
lower grades feel foreign competition more
than before.
The iron manufacture is gaining rapid-
ly, and the average of prices elsewhere giv-
en, which had fallen Feb. 1 to 54.1 per
cent of the prices in Octobci, 1890, has
now risen to 59. 1 per cent, most- of the ad-
vancehaving been in May. Bessemer pig
has been lifted to 11.65, and Grey Forge
to $10.40 at Pittsburg by the growing do«
mand. Tank steel plates are $5 per ton
higher at Philadelphia: and nail producers
have combined, raising wire nails to $1. 15
and cut nails to $1 by carloads at Pitts-
burg. ‘ The structural demand is very
large. .
The failures during the past week have
been 215 in the United States, against 183
last year, and 34 in Canada, against 27
last year.
