LOBS OF THE SERPENT. ABritith Oruieer Eons oa the Bocks ud ii Wrecked- BO LIVKS LOST. A London cable says The British torpedo cruiser Serpeni bsi foundered off th* coast of Spain. Th* fats of ths oraw I* unknown. The Serpent wa* a twin crew vessel of 1,170 tons and 4.600 hers* power. She carried six guns. Tbs Ser- pent went on ths rocks at a point twenty miles north of Lake Finnistsrr* during a term on Monday night. A heavy mist prevailed at ibe lima. Owing to the violence of tb* storm it was impossible to f+nH -6uiance from shore. Tremendous eas swept th* decks of tbe doomed vessel, carrying away group after group of tbe unfortunate men en board. The neme of tbe wreck as conveyed to Carnnna, a distance of 60 miles, over mountain roads. The Serpent's complement was 170 officers and men. Tbe others on board were going out to relieve men now on ship* at the African station. Tbe Serpent was a swift light cruiser, one of eight commenced daring the admin- istration of Lord Nortbbrook. She was launched in 1887. A Madrid despatch say* : The three per- on* iavul from tha Serpent are sauors who swam ashore at Camorina*. They sxprers the belief tbat all the othets on board were drowned, but only four bodies have been wssbtd ashore as yet. There is no telegraph station at Camorina*. Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of tha Admiralty, mad* a speeon to-mtiht at a Conservative baLqnet at Acton, lie began as follows : I am sorry lo say Ibst joit before I cam* here I received a tele- gram saying that the torpedo crnieer Ser- peni had been lost on ths Spanish ooait. I fear there has been a great to** of life. Tbe Serpent was one of oar best orniiers and wss a valuable vessel. She had excellent officer*) and* fine crew. I cannot tell tbe oaus* of tbe disa*t*r." ThU announce- ment caused momentary sensation among tbe guests, bnl apparently Ibe start- ling news wa* quickly forgotten. Lord Hamillon made an unusually rollicking peeob, provoking frequent outbursts cf laughter. Th* incident wss a topic of conversation in ths club* late to-night, and wa* generally denounced as scandalous An old charge made against Mr. Glad ton* it tbat he attended Ibe theatre on tbe evening ot the day on which tbe news was received here of tb* death of Gen. Gordon at Khartoum. It i* believed lo night's incident will be used a* a set-off to this accusation agaicst tb* ex Premier. A Madrid cable says : An official tele- gram from Corunna says that the erpenl wa* wrecked of. Cape Bnoy.nsar the village of Camorinas. There were J76 persons board of her. of whom only three were waved. The bodies ot three ladiee bavs been washed ashore. Tbe Governor has ordered Ibe antboiilies at Camorinas to render every atsistanoe in tbeir power. A Halifax despatch says : The war-ship Serpent, reported lost near Cape Finis- ttrre with 350 live*, wa* a twin aorew cruiser of the third class, of 1,770 toni burthen, 4.650 borao power and carrying six guns. Sb* was to-jnd for Ibs cape of Good Hop* and the west coast of Africa. Her eflioer* wsr* : Commander II. L. Boss, Lieutenants Guy, H. L. Granvllle and Torquell McLeod, Surgeon James W.

Ths Barfonl was commiisioned at Davenport six months ago Th* Duke ot Edinburgh was attending a Fatti concert at Plymouth when Ibe news of tbe diatastcr reached him.

Bs txprrsird th* ntmotl sorrow at the fate that had overtaken to many brave men. The newspaper offices at Plymouth were oasiegfti by crowds anxious to hear further news of tbe di*a*ter. Among these were sobbing wives and daughters of many of the lost seamen. It 1* stated that many of the raw of tbe Serpent before the vessel started on her last voyage expressed tbs fear tbat ome misfortune would befall tbe ship. An official slate *ient ha* jut! been made by tbe British A tmiralty office m oonneo ion with tbs Ic / ot th* Herpsnt. Tbe tatemenl sols ff.rih that there were 176 persons on board the cruiser al the time of her loss and tbat bat three seamen were evad. It also says thai the Spanish Oov eminent has been requested to render all possible assistance in the work of recover Ing tbe bodies of the drowned, for each cf which the llritisb Government will offer a reward. Tbe British Vice Consul at Oorunoa has gone toCamarinas to interview to* snt \ivors of th* wreck. .H. M. S. Lapwing has left Vigo for tha eosne of the wreck of tbe Serpeni. An Ad- miralty officer who has knowledge of tbe locality of the wreck think* it probable that toe Serpent's oompaisea ware deflected by the contiguity of the vast masses ot iron long th* oot.il.

Tbe fire was attended by many exciting incident*. Several heroic rescues were mads and some painful scenes were wit- nessed. Tbe wcnien and children in the burning building implored wildly for help. When it was found tbat two children were missing a soldier bravely re-entered tbe burning pile to search for them. Hearing screams issuing from the rafters on the top floor he disjointed an iron bedstead and witb a piece of iaon broke away th* ceiling until he found the children, when he resetted them unhurt. In trying to escape by a trap door and roof they bad lost themselves between tbe raftera and tbe tiles.

A Montreal despatch says Tb* overdo* steamers arc reaching port, all more or lee* bearing testimony to the terrible weather they experienced on Ihe Atlantic. The steamship Gerona, of the Thompson Line, arrived to-day, and her log is simply a description of heavy storms and toiaing tea*, ihe monotony only broken by an accident that nearly cost Captain Ander son his life. The Gerona left Newcaitle on October 28th, and while heavy gales were experienced all tbe way down, it wa* at Dunn*tt Head tbat th* worst wss gone through. There the wind increased to a terrific hurricane. Captain Anderson was at hi* post on the upper bridge, refusing to go belo*. and with him was bis chief officer, Mr. J. Gibson. AI onoe, without any previoat warning, enormous sea rolled over Ihe steamship, flooding the decks and sweeping everything before it. Tb* ship's deck was oompletely filled with water, and everything forward wa* carried away. The force of the water also swept away the main upper bridge, and both Captain Anderson ai.<i Mr. Gib son bad a very narrow escape from being carried away witb the bridge. As it was, Captain Anderson was jammed op against tbe bulwarks and so severely knocked about and bruised that bo had to keep in bed during tbe entire voyage. Tbe mate, Gibson, was *lso knocked down by the waves, but not rioosly hurt. During the voyage across the Atlantic gales came from all points ot ihe compass, and tremendous cross-seas washed the ship. Belle Isle was reached on Ibe evo of tbe 7tb, and utoe weather wae experienced through the straits. AtGreeuley island auolber severe gale from the southwest sprang op with heavy sea, Ibe wind finally iblftiug to the northwest, wheu hifch cross sea* knocked Ihe ship about considerably. The gala moderated next day, but cff Antiooeli there were strong northwest winds, whilu up Ihe gulf and river snow squalls retarded Ihe progress of th* vessel, fogs also detaining her. The Dominion Line steamer Texas, from Bristol, arrived in port al 11 o'clock thi* morning after a long and stormy passage She left Liverpool on Oot. Uoib, and all the way across experienced nothing but gales and hurricane* with mountainous head seas It ha* taken her just nicetunn days lo cross Ibe ocean.

This anxiety has b-en heightened by tbe terrible disaster lo Ibe Vancouver, and the rough passages experienced by Ibe other ocean vessels which havo arrived here.

Ana Arbor Btadtoti Greet* a Blot Witb Disastrous Oontequwoer An Ann Arbor, Mich., despatch says: The most disgraceful and exciting college fight in the history of Western insulations took place la<t night between about 1,000 students ud a iquad of Slate militia, which resulted in the killing of one stuient and th* injuring of a dcz-sn more. The bitter feeling against the authorities resulting from the riot of the nigbs before was largely the cause of this affair. A rumor spread about the oampua that th* rush at the post-office was to be repeated last evening, and consequently hundreds of fellows were upon th* seen* when the evening mail arrived. There was, however, no trouble until about 9.30, when the central portion of the oily was surpUed to bear reports of a num- ber of guna. Immediately every (Indent n the vicinity came to the conclusion that a more sericas trouble with the authorities) had arisen. A steady stream of student* poured npon the streets, who, giving tbeir college yell while running, materially in- creased th* excitement. Within five minutes after the first report there were at least 1.000 Undents collected at the scene ol the supposed trouble. The occasion was an informal charivari by member* of the local military company to one of tbeir cumber whose wedcing night it was. Th* captain of the company was one of the gueats inside the bonce, and coming out he saw tbat a serious disturbance might te the result if th* firing continued, lie ordered the men back to the armory, and they started to obey his command. In* students immediately fell in behind in aa irregular but compact mass. Some of them cried out rush," bnl no movrment was made in tbat direction. Quarter- master Granger, who bad charge of in* malitia, ordered a charge and the student* fled for a short distance, bat quickly re- turned when they saw the company moving ing down toward the armory. Comirg to the corner cf Liberty and Diviiion street* the students had closed up behind a* tin and once more the order "charge" was made. Then followed one of the worst band to- band fights ever witnessed in ibis city. The first man hart was Quarter- master Granger, who was struck in ibe fore- bead by a thro >rn brick. He fell and was carried away. The company was without aayonets, bat ased its nfle* to good advan- tage a* olube, while the students were armed with fence pickets and stones. Th* fight must have lasted ten minute*, and everybody who took a prominent part was more or less hurt. One of the most out- rageous acts was that committed apon I. J. L'anmison, a freabman literary student from Toledo, 0. He was knocked down near the feno*. bat tbi did not set- m to ratitfy bis asuslant, who struck him again and again. In an nnooosoions slate h was removed to the hospital, where he dud thi* morning from skull fracture. Granger was reported dead this morning, bat that i* tntrue. He is very badly out in the fore- wed, but will undoubtedly pall through. "t now locks as it a surioos charge will be brought against members of ths militia npany who participated in the loonr- 10*.
