11111 DISASTER 11 S11 Ship. Transporting Spanish Sol- diers and Civilians Lost. TWO HUNDRED DROWNED Wrecked OR the Northern Coast of Cuba During a-Violeut Storm, and Torn to Pieces Eight Miles from Shore—Only Two Men Escape. Havana, Oct. 18. —It is believedlthat nearly two hundred persons perished in the coasting steamer Triton, from Ha.- vana to Bahia Honda,Province of Pinar del Rio. The vessel went ashore Satur- day morning during heavy weather, grounding about eight miles from the coast. The purser and one Of the passengers have arrived at Madrid. They say they have no knowledge regarding the fate of the captain, the passengers, com- ~ posed of soldiers and civilians, and the thirty members of the crew of the Tri- ton. The missing passengers include several well-known merchants. The Spanish gunboat Maria. Cristina and the tug Louise have left this port for the scene of the wreck. It is stated upon inquiry that the Triton had on board two hundred pas- sengers, and it is feared that they have all perished, in addition to the thirty composing the steamer's crew. No details of the wreck, however, have yet been received here. - Owing to the heavy sea that was running, the gunboat Cristina found it impossible to reach the scene of the disaster until night. Among those who were lost were two navy and two' army Oflicers, a commissary official and seventy-seven privates. On board the Triton was $31,660 in silver, to 'be used for the payment of the Spanish mili- tary and naval forces. The Triton, it is stated, was overloaded. She carried a. large quantity of groceries and ammu- nition, and had on board ninety—three rifles for the Government troops. Madrid, Oct. 18.—A dispatch to the [mparcial from Havana gives some further details of the loss of the coast— lng steamer Triton, which was wrecked yesterday. The Triton sailed from Havana on Friday night, having on board, in ad— dition to 100 civilian passengers, several ' military Officers and seventy soldiers. She carried as cargo a large quantity of arms and ammunition for the troops ln-Pinar del Rio, and she also ,had on beard $30,000 in cash. It-is thought that the disaster was fine to the steamer being overloaded, ‘or to her- cargo shifting, which caused net to capsize, for although the weather was stormy, it was not bad enough .to wreck such a vessel as the Triton. Prior to starting on the voyage the weather was threatening, and the captain of the Iteamer visited the Jesuit observatory, where he was assured that he would run no risk _in leaving port in face of the approaching storm. _Of all those on board the steamer, passengers and crew, only two are known to- have escaped. 'Th'ese are Julian Alonso, the purser, and Daniel Martinez, a merchant, but it is hoped that the gunboat Maria Christina and the lifeboats which were sent to the vicinity of the wreck have found some survivors.

New York, Oct. 18.—The big seven- story warehouse at the northeast cor- ner of Hudson and Spring streets, was destroyed by fire yesterday. As nearly as the damage can be estimated it will aggregate about three hundred thou- sand dollars, $150,000 by the destruction of the building, and the same amount by the loss of the stock. The building has a frontage of sixty feet on Hudson street and 160 feet on Spring street. J. Fitzpatrick & 00., im- porters of French plate and colored glass, occupied the Hudson street'front of the ground floor and the whole sec- ond floor. The remaining space was oc- cupied by the Bradley & Currier Com— pany, dealers in mantels, woodwork, etc, which owns the building.

JEWS IN PALESTINE.” ‘ 'l‘he GoldenCity May Soon Again Have a Temple as of Old. The Rev. J. L. Hetfeld, a converted J eWish rabbi, says that there are now three times as many Jews in Palestine as returned with, Ezra and Nehemiah. “The Jews,” he says, “will soon erect a temple in Jerusalem, and will estab- lish the sacrifices of old. I received a letter from my home a short time ago in which they tell me of a meeting with an English lady, who was study- She said that while in Milan she entered one of the largest workshops and saw .there a magnificent pillar. She asked them about it and they told her that it was for the new temple Of Jerusa- lem. In Rome she also saw another pillar which was being finished for the temple. It may be possible that some of the influential Jews are quietly pre- paring for the erection of this temple. The time is fast approaching when Pal- estine will be wholly populated by the Jews. The Sultan is-in dire straits for money, and may sell the country to them at any time. When that comes to pass. I believe that the ten‘ tribes of Israel will be gathered there from all parts of the world. ”——New York Tri- bune. , .— PIANOS We are now closing out at a sacrifice several odd styles oi new pianos, and a great variety of slightly used organs and piano; to make room for new stock.
