WRECK OFROYAL GEORGE A Passenger Describes It and Tells of The Sudden Orders That Came Too Late. A despatch from Quebec says : We picked up the pilot off Father Point on Wednesday, says a passen- ger on the Royal George. Quaran- tine and rmdical men arrived about four o'clock, und then the passen- gers went below to finish prepara- tions for disembarking. A slight haze hung over the river, but lights were plainly visible and full speed was maintained. \V'e had one of the oldest pilots on board, and no cue thought of danger. Suddenly those on the upper deck heard a harp cry: "Hard a-port," from one voice, and in the same breath, "Hard astern" from the pilot. A udden check, followed by a wrenching, grinding, bumping mo- tion, told of the futility of both or- ders. The Royal George was hard Mid fast on the rooks of the Isle- of Orleans, about eight miles below Quebec, apparently held from stem to stern. The reversed engines made no im- pression. There was no shadow of disorder or confusion on board. The officers went about their duties quietly, and it was difficult to be- lieve that a shipwreck had occur- red. Unquestionably the pilot must have mistaken a bright light on the Island for one of his lights nd simply laid the ship's bow on across the Rocks. Tho boats were swung outside as a precautionary measure, and then the order came to prepare to transfer to tugs. Fearful of Listing. The tide wan at full when she struck. As it began to recede there was possibility of serious listing and a possible catastrophe. In view of this danger and the rapidly reced- ing tide, the onming of the tugs seined long delayed. Finally about 10 p.m., the old ferryboat North cam alongside. Rut the tide was out, and she could not transfer. About midnight she stood by and | about half the passengers were placed on board. On the way up the river another ship-wreck and tragedy was averted by a hairsbrcadth. There is an occasion to discuss that event. The Franch-C'anadian, as a skilful navi- gating officer on a night as black as ! Kgypt. is not impressive. There i were shouts of "Sans Vapare" from I the bridge that did not impress a I dull enrlneer. The ferry was old and shaky, and the sleet and rain beat in or dropped through the por- ous sailcloth covering, and through it all women and children huddled without semblance of foar or panic, with no murmur, no cries, and no visible dread, save the drawn face and the tears of a mother hastily concealed, as she held her babe and drew hrr little boy to her side. The Women Wore Brave. The British soldier and the Bri- tish sailor have been extolled. I cannot express my admiration for the British woman. She is the very essence of self-control in an emer- gency and a model of discipline. Some of the officers fearod a crush when the dock was reached. The old ferry not only reached the dork, she cra-'h^d into it, und lurched J back. Two or three women laughed quietly and held their babes closer. Old men ewore quietly at the hap- hazard carelessness with an over- loaded rotten scow. Then the pas- sengers filed out and the ferry started back for the four hundred who stopped behind without a com- plaint to upend a sleepless night on a stranded vessel. Apparently the only excited person in evidence was a portlv Yankee, who took care to be first on shore, and he was palpa- bly and os'<>ntatioii?ly first down the gang plank to the ferry. His trembling limbs and nerve-twisted features only emphasized the worth of a British woman and a British mother. THE NEWS in IIAPPEMNOH FROM ALL OVED TRE (.1 DU. IN A NUT8HFXL.

It is now v|ii'' ; :iHv stated that tho diamond, which ttci"iis l.tilO karnts, is of in- iYiiui quality. NAZIM'S ARMY IS CRUSHED The Victorious Bulgars Pursuing the Broken and Demoralized Turks A despatch from Sofia says : The Turkish army commanded by Nazim Pasha was completely crush- ed in the great battle of the last two days on the Serai-Tchorlu line. According to the semi-official Mir, the Turks lost in kiHed and wound- ed more than double the losses at Lule Burgas. The Bulgarians are now pursuing the defeated enemy. The sanguinary character of the recent engagements, which it is re- porUd have involved losses to the Turks of -10,000 men, hae been due to the extraordinary energy of the Bulgarian attack. The view of the Bulgarian staff is that the Turks are so demoralized that frontal at- tacks may be undertaken even against the strongest positions without superior forces, and the Turkish shortage of artillery and ammunition has contributed to the success of these tactics. The Bulgarian vanguard, it ifi said, has reached Lake Derkas, one detachment passing between the lake and the sea. Another line of the Bulgarian advance is reported to be attacking the forts in front of the town of Tchatalja, while still another column, which marched down the main road from Tchorlu to Silivri, is now advancing to Bo- gados for the purpose of forcing a passage along the coast of the sea of Marmora. These are, however, only flying columns. The main body has not yet commenced the attack on Tch- ataJja fortifications. According to statements made by prominent public men in Sofia, Bulgaria will reject mediation un- til Tchatalja has been captured and Adrianople has fallen, and although it is said that entry into Constan- tinople is no part of the allies plans, Bulgaria will not listen to tbe suggestion of peace negotia- tions unless Turkey gives an un- dertaking to bring no more rein- forcements from Asia. Tchataldja's Forts Taken. A despatch from London says: The victorious Bulgarians made one swift, vicious assault on the fortifi- cations of Tchataldja on Thursday, and won them. The disheartened Turks are now scattered over the 25-mile district between those cap- tured line of defence and Constan- tinople, and the Bulgarians are pursuing them," capturing som and killing others. There is now noth- ing save these disorganized, fleeing bands of Turks to stop tho Bulgar- ian* in their conquering march to- wards the capital of their enemies. BulR.iri.ins Oeeupy Drnma. The Bulgarians occupied the town of Drama on November 5. The Turkish troops in that region have been scattered in all directions. Most of them have surrendered their arms and are returning to their homes. Other remnants are so demoralized that the peasants terrorize them and compel them to disarm and flee. Throughout the district the inhabitants have warm- ly welcomed the Bulgarians, and the Bulgarian administration has been established. It is officially announced that tho port of Rodosto, on the Sea of Mar- mora, and the city of Visa, to the southeast of Adrianople, were oc- cupied by the Bulgarian troops on November 5. cers. The Turks now in captlvlky at Salonica number 27,000 men. A Broken Army. Bulgarian Headquarters, Nov. 10. "Anyone who saw the spec- tacle presented by the retreat ol the Turks on November 6 and 3 must have been convinced of the hopelessness of any further resist- ance on their part to tho Bulgar- ian attacks," writes Lieut. Weg- ener. "On every road Leading east- ward towards Tchatalja indetcrib- ably fascinating and convincing pictures of a panio-atricken flight were to be witnessed ; abandoned guns, overturned ammunition wag*- goiis, broken-down oxen, and hors- es driven to death ; of a whole de- tachment of apathetic Turk;sh troops oowring, exhausted and starving, by the roadside without arms and in tattered uniforms, and soldiers would only be too delight- ed to be captured, as at least they , might hope to get something to eat, This is no army, but nimpiy a pack of wretched human beings, who are not even capable of defending their own skins, and these are the troopi who are trying to hold the anti- quated earthworks of Tchatalja against the irresistible assault of the Bulgarian troops." Victory for Servians. A despatch from Belgrade sayst Dibra, 45 miles southwest of Pria- rend, in Albania, was taken by th Servians on Saturday after severe fighting, according to private ad- vices. The remnants of the Turk- ish Macedonia army have assemb- led there. The same reports say that Monastir has surrendered, 'Major Popovich, in command of the Servian cavalry, has captured Dajrau, with a thousand Turks. The third Servian army is well on its way towards the Adriatic, but progress is slow on account of the bad roads. It is expected thai Durazzo will be taken in a day or two. Durazzo is one of tho port* which Servia has announced her intention of seizing and holding. Adrianople in Rebellion. A despatch from London says : Adrianople is reported to bo in a state of rebellion. There is word from that beleaguered city that the Turkish soldiers are flatly refusing to fi"ht any longer, and have to be driven to the defences at tKe point of the sword. That city is ap- parentlv to be starved into surren- der. The Bulgarian commanders reali/p that its fall is but a mat- ter of d.ivs, and that they cannot afford t-o lose any more men in an assault. They nre contenting them- selves with sweep ; ng down on Turk- ish wairon trains and isolating Adrinnople from the world. Turkish T,oses TTiige. The Turkish losses in killed and wounded during the five days' fight- ing in the vicinity of Lule Burgas mid TUimi;hiv*ar are estimated at 25,000 men. The Bulgarian troops captured 37 batteries of quick-firing guns and took 2.000 prisoners. They also seized four locomotives and 213 railroad cars. MAST NEW POSTOFFICES.
