A. despatch from Halifax, 'N. S., says:
—The steamer Grecian towed into port
at 0.80- o'clock en Wednesday morning
• the British steamer Cromartyshire,
which had been in collision with the
big French liner La Bourgogne, sixty
miles south of .Sable island, on the
morning of July 41h. La Bourgogne
was sunk, and of the six hundred paa-
sengers on board only two hundred
were saved to tell the tale of a tragedy
of the sea which has not been paralleled
since the Thingvalla Geyser disaster in
1887.
The catastrophe is appalling. The
French liner, ranning at it terrific
liate of epeed, mashed. into the port
1301,V of the Cronteftyabire in a. dense
fog, and ,sank elmost before those an
board knew what had happened. The
steamer recoiled front the shock as if
stench- by .a thtuideeboit and sank in-
to the foaming deep. There was
ecercely an instant given to escape
from. the fearfui vortex whiett sucked
down the trembling, souls that, man-
aged to. gain the deck. But in less
time then it takes to tell it all was
over. From the waters that closed
about the foundering steamer hun-
dreds of souls were hurled to the top
of the wa-ves. With wild despairing
shrieks and screams they clutched

was Mrs. A.. Lacaese, of Plainfield,
N. and it was na.ainly through the
quick action of her husband, who was
also one of the passengers saved, that
she is not 4.(anpng the missing. Mrs.
Lacasse and her husband have bean
residing at Plainfield, N. J., about sev-
en years. They were on their way to
France to spend. ,a ew months with
relatives, but Mr. Lacasse says he will
give up the trip jugt now after his
recent experience.
Mrs. Laeasse's late experience was
indeed a severe an, and she svitness-
ed sights thates ill never leave her me-
mory. The collision occurred about five
o'clock on Monday morning, at which
time the lady was in Iter berth. The
first she knew- of the danger wa$ when
her husband ruehed down into the ce,b-
bin and told her to hasten on deck as
the steamer had run into a ship and
was damaged. Mrs. Laeasse hastily
threw' on her dress and without wait-
ing for hat or shoes and. leaving, all her
belongings in her stale •r0010., rushed
on deck with her husband, where te
passengers were in terror. It was thick
fog at the time and they suddenly felt
the steamer take e sort of list.
The Echo, while in conversation with
Mr. and Mrs. Laesesse, asked thern how
the officers and crews 'of La Bourgogne
acted, after they found she was in
danger, but both husband and wife
said they had no experience in such
matters. and were not prepared to
pass an opinion, but they both agreed
that the captain of the wrecked
steamer

Said Mrs. Lacasse: "Thal poor man did'

the eery last moment and stayed by
his vessel in eon-ellen& as she seance.
Mr. and Mrs. Lacasse were saved on
a raft. The ledy was thrown into the
water, but her husband's eyes were on
her, and she was near a raft while in
the water, and. he managed to get on
the raft and put her on also. Soon! the
scene became a terrible; one,, with hun-
• dreds of lives in the' balance. The peo-
ple swam and floated about the sur-
face of the -water looking for chances
to save themselves, but the majority
of them foued none, and clinging to
the raft in which were Mr. and Mrs.
Lacasse were ahout eighteen others,
and every moment the raft seemed in
danger el sinking, so great was the
weight. It would have been madness
to allow any more weight on it, and
succour had to be denied many a poor
mortal

tions in the boats like raving maniacs,
women were forced back from boats
and trampled dowa by men who made
self-preservation theie filet object. On
board Were Jarge numbers of Italians
and other foreigners, These men stop-
ped at nothing. In one boat was a
party of, forty women, but so great
.sves the pat& that not a hand was
raised to assist iitt her launehing. The
occu.pants, so near saved, were drowned
like rats witen the ship, with an awful
leasing sound, went down. So desper-
ate was the situation that an Italian
passenger drew his knife, and made
&reset et one, who, like Ilirlis014, was
endeavoring to maids the boats, Im-
mediately the action was imitated in
pery direotion..Knives were noterished
and used -with effect. yWolmen and
chiletren were driven back to inevit-
able death at, the point of weapona,
the owners of which were experts in
their use. According to stories of sur-
vivors women were stabbed like so
mane- eheep. '
The scene on the water Was even
worse. Many of the unfontu,nates who
were struggling in the water attempt-
ed to draw themselves into the boats
• and on rafts. These were pushed back
i e
, into a watery grave. Here, too, knives
were used. freely. Not all of Lite dead
met death by drowning, Christopher
Brawn, saw a eailor belonging to the
La Bourgogne strike it nassengee over
tbe head with a bar and kilt him. The
body dropped into the water. The
passenger grabbed the boat in which
the sailor was aml attempted to get on
board. There were '714 passengers on
bunt and 103 were saved. NVith. the
exception of two passengers, Prof, La -
cease and his wife, all the passengers
of the Bourgogne who were rescued
are aboard the steamer Grecian at
Cunited's wharf. The crew are also on
board the steamer. She is expected to
. sail for New York this evening. All
i the crew are eollected by themselves in

cer of the gangway looked at them

EXTREMITY OF DESPAIR.
Authorities at Madrid Adopting Strong
Precautions Against Itiotines
A despatch from Madrid says:—The
enthusiasra aroused by the misleading
despatches of the Spanish Government
from Cuba is ch.altaged into the wett-
ings of the families of the victims and
lamentations for the national disaster.
The Ministers are c.restfalien, and are
still concealing the worst. The utmost
extremity of despair, of rage, and re-
criminations prevail among the popu-
lation, and the authorities are adopt-
ing strong precautions, fearing popu-
lar outbursts. Marshal Martine.,z de
Campos has been foremost in the en-
deavours to preveet disturbance. A.
Govermnent crisis is inuninent, and it
is regarded as probable that Senor Sil-
vela or 1VIarshal Campos will succeed
Senor Sagasta as Premier, and propose
peace in order to prevent the Ameri-
cans from bombarding the peninsula
and ruining Spain.
The palace is strongly guarded, and
the Qtreen Regent, who is described as
being inconsolable, is receiving the
sympathy of the sensible portion of the
population, but there is no disguising
the feet that grave forebodings are
heard as to the future of Spain.
The tone of the general ..peblie can
be stunnaed up in. the follow -trig remark
frequently heard :—"God alone knows
what will happen."
Senor Games°, Minister of Public In-
struction and Public Works, had a
long audience with. the Queen Regent
on Wednesday afternoon, and subse-
quently conferred with the Dike Al-
modovar de Rio, •the Foreign Minister.
These interviews have caused •inuch
comment. The Queen Regent has sign-
ed. e decree, promoting Col. Ordonez
and ColeEscario to the rank of gen-
eral. The Government will transmit
to the powers, the protest of the Cuba,
Colonials Chambers against the Am-

A despatch from Ottawa says :—The
strike of section men on the Canada At-
ktntie and Ottawa, Arnprion and Parry
Sound system resulted on Tuesday
night in a complete victory for the men.
The management of the railway system
was waited upon by a committee of en-
gineers and conductors, who acted as
intermediaries. They offered the im-
mediate settlement of the strike at
$1.10 a, day. This is an increase of 10 i
cents per man. It was the priginal de -1
mends bat when the company deolined 1
to treat on that basis the men asked.
for $1.25 a. day. The offer was accept-
ed, and all the mesa who went out on
strike last week, numbering nearly 600,
have returned. to their duty.
MAY AFFECT THE G. T. R. I
The increase of 10 cents a day per
num means a gain for thera in the ag-
gregate of nearly 422,000 it year. The
strike was conducted ni a very order-
ly and creditable manner. It is re -
garde& by railway men as at special
importance, inasixtach ad the section
men on the Grand Trunk system are
pressing for an increase. They are
now paid, 97 cents a day, and !the fact
that the section men on the Booth
systems have Veen so eaccessful will
have a tendency to stiffen theni in their
demands. The C.P.R. pay $1.15 a day.
It is olaimed that the result of the
strike is it gain bf 31,000,000 to the sec-
tion men of Canada by increasing their
income by an annual amount which,
when capitalized, would represent that
stun.
