UNITED STATES SHIPWRECK AND DEATH PARTICULARS OF THE WRECK OF A FRENCH SCHOONER. Reventy Fishermen Perish at the Result of a â€" Collision With an ecebergâ€"Only Four Survivors Picked Upâ€"They Beâ€" came Delirious After Eating a Comrade. A despatch from St. John‘s, Nf!d., says:â€"One of the four maddened wretâ€" ches found floating about on the ocean in a small boat and brought to St. Pierre on Tuesday by the schooner Vicâ€" The Valiant carried a crew of twenty men, and ‘had also aboard {iftyâ€"four fishermen, who were to engage in the colony during the season and return to their families in France in the fall. The brigantine was heavily laden with food supplies and fishing gear, and was a staunch little craft. She made good weather until April 14, when an immense ice floe was sighted near Flemish cape, a giant rock in _ the ocean, 100 miles off St. John‘s, and a tor Eugene has been able to tell the taie of shipwreck and horror through which he and his companions have just beavy fog came up. NVith the fear of striking the ice floe in the thick fog i was with misgivings that many of the seventyâ€"four men _ turned _ into their bunks at night. The fate, the fear of which had troubled them, came to him at about midnight in impenetrable darkness and fog. The brigantine and an iceberg crashed together, without warning the impact crushing in tha vessel from ber bow to the forelmast and opening the hold to a rush of water that awakâ€" ened the lightly sleeping men, and sent them scampering halfâ€"dressed to the deck. The men thrmed at oxce to the lifeâ€" boats, only four in numbeir and mere dories, capable of carrying not more than a dozen imen each. Men forgot thein brotherbood in > 1 THE MAD STRUGGLE to secure a place in one of the poor little boats, and no heed was even paid to a dozein or more of the comâ€" pany who lay dead and dying in the debris resulting from the collision. It is certain only that _ one boat escaped the whirlpool caiused by the sinking of the brigantine. The three other dories may have gome dowin, or they may now be floating about upon the bosom of the ocean, freighted with the dead. In the morning the seven men in one of the boats found themselves afloat with nothing aboard with which to sustain life. The three other boats are believed to have contained about twenty men, and such as were left of board the Valiant perished quickly. As events proved, theirs wias the better Worn with rowing, cold and hungry, and suffering from thirst, the seven men looked qdut all daifltor a sail, but could see no further than their noses, and night fell again. ud fate. -t.(‘)-n.-t-fig second night, two of the men died from expogure, and their bodies were thrown overboard. 3 Next morning ayoung man named Felix died, and he too would have been given to the fishes is his comâ€" panions had hbhad strength enough to lift the body, but they had not, and so the corpse lay in the bottom of the dory, while the four remaining sat on the side seats and waited for that which had come to young Felix. _ ____ On the fifth day, crazed beiond all doubt, they adopted the last frightful resort of men in their condition, and ate their friend. Then they were deâ€" lirious after that. â€"__ _ e 8 It was no the twelfth day of their shipwreck that the lookâ€"out of the fishing _ schooner _ Victor _ Eugene, bound for Pierre, saw afar off a speck upon the ocean, which later proved to be the dory of the Valiant with the four miserable men still aboard, They were rescued and tenderly carâ€" ed for, and as soon as the Victor arâ€" rived in port they were removed to an hospital. For a day after they had been hoisted aboard the schooner their lives had been despaired of, and now the skilled physicians say it is doubtâ€" ful if they will survive the surgeon‘s knife. The doctors say that their frozen if they live it will be minus both arms if they live it iwll be minus botharms and legs. Ssn eb c c PME OT 1oica The four survivors are in a frightâ€" ful condition. It is thought that one will mot live through the night. The arms and feet of three have been amâ€" putated. _ The eyes and nose were shockingly frozen, and the flesh preâ€" sents a ghastly appearance. As tlve men lie in their cots, they rave in disâ€" tracted recollection of their awful exâ€" perience. * L.2 s It is scarcely possible to get any deâ€" finite notion of the incidents of the disaster, but it seems from their disâ€" connected ravings that four boats got safely away from the ship, but the captaim‘s boat was the only one afterâ€" wards seen by the occupants of the rescued dory. Everythfng that is posâ€" sible is being done to find tht missing boats, if it should hbhave been their good fortune to thave survived. Outâ€" going vessels will make a close search of the waters morth and south of St. John‘s, but there is little bope of furâ€" ther rescues.

Exâ€"Minister Ralli, leader of the prinâ€" cipal Opposition group in the Legislaâ€" tive Assembly, threatemed that unless the military staff was changed he would issue a proclamation to the peoâ€" ple. â€" His statement acted like oil upon fire, ar l the popular excitement has flared up. Crowds assembled in the streets to discuss them and wantâ€" ed to march to the place to read them to King George. _ Fortunately, heavy showers drove the people inâ€" doors. THE PRINCE‘S STAFF RECALLED. M.

REVOLUTIONARY FEELING. ; Everything sent on from Athens by special correspondents emphasizes the increasing _ gravity of <the situation there, and the rapid development _ of revolutionary feeling. _ This condition of things appears to have reswited largely from the cessation of hostiliâ€" ties in Epirus. While there is no doubt the Turks are occupied in establishing lines of communication, it is equally evident the Greek disaster in Epirus is much more serious than was at first supposed. Tt now looks like a hopeâ€" tess task to renew the advance upon Janina, as Turkey is in a position to send overwhe‘ming reinforcements. The irregulars coâ€"operating with the Greek forces show up in a very bad light, as mere bandits, more intent on plunder than fighting. | h ooo t l 1 K 40 02â€"A 18 oL s t ie d n\ 1 are taking the wounded from the hosâ€" pitals.

"It is my impression that it will prob» ably take the form of an America® building to be put up with American money in London, and to bear an inscription telling why and by whom it was built. "As President of St. George‘s Society, I have been consulted with reference to what should be done, and I bave arâ€" rived at the conclusion, which is sbharâ€" ed by the large majority of the mem» hers, that it is a matter with whicB Englishmen in this country, whetber American citizens or not, should have nothing to do.

The King avoidâ€" ed the danger by rising from his seat, Acciarito, seeing he bhad failed in his attempt to assassinate the King, threw away ?fia dagger and was immediately arrested by two carbineers, while his Majesty calmly ordered his coachman to drive on. The news spread with great rapidity, and when the King reached the royal stand at the race course it was soon surrounded by oz cheering multitude. _ The members the di?gomatic corps present at the races and a number of other distinâ€" guished people sent their congratulaâ€" tions to the Kin‘f on his escape. King Hambert treated the matter li?hlly and remarked, "It is only one of the little adventures of my trade." _ The King remained at the race course wit.? his nephew, the Duke of Aota, unti the royal Dert:f was run.
