The Fatal Squall Which Sunk the Vessel
lasted Only a Minute, Ijui In That Snort
Time Both Masts Were. Snapped OCT
Close to the Deck. , -.-'.'
New Bedford, Mass. , April 20. Nine
Gloucester fishermen were lost , off 'Long
Island on Friday night, when the fishing
schooner J. W. Campbellj of Gloucester,
was sunk in a squall. The seven survivors
arrived here last night to tell the story.
They were brought into port bv the tug
Gladiator, from the ' schooner Norman,
Avhich picked them up after they had spent
an entire night and day in an open boat
without food. . I ;
The lost are Captain Robert Smith,
John McGuire, Prank Sylvia Thomas
Rogers, George Ela, William McAllister,
Abel McCormy, George GrKham and
Charles Dohcrty, all of Gloucester.
The sinking of the Campbell was re
markable in several respects. The fatal
squall was one of the most sudden and
terrific in the memory of the surviving
i seamen. It-was all over in about a min
ute. It happened so quicklyx and there
was so little warning that there was no
time to avert calamity or provide for es
cape. As it was, it seems remarkable
that there was a single survivor. ' The es
cape seemed but a trick of fate.
. W hen the squall struck her the vessel
careened under the terrible blow, and all
realized that their lives were in danger.
Seven of the sixteen sailors quickly clam
bered up the masts. No sooner had they
none so tuan a second and tar more pow
erful gust of wind seized the craft and
seemed to lift it bodily out of the sea.
Then, as if in a mighty grasp, 'the vessel
was wrenched and given a sudden twist
.with such violence that the masts snapped
off even with the deck, like toothpicks,
and were hurled far away from the reach
of the vortex made by the ship as she fell
DacK into the water and sank iilie a piece
of lead.
This is the story as told by the survivors.
They left New York at 8 o'clock Friday
night, and the squall struckthem soon
, afterwards. There was not the slighlest
warning. 'The wind was blowing only
about two knots and everything seemed
, favorable for a smooth trip.
. After ihe sqaull subsided themopn come
out and by iis light the seven survivors,
who still clung to the masts in spite of the
awful shock of being thrown through the
air and striking the water as they did.
were able to find a dory, into which they
climbed, after bailing it dut."
All night long and all the next day they
drifted helplessly about Loner Island
sound without food or water. ; Then they
were picked up by the schooner Norman
.and later were transferred to the tug
Gladiator, twhich brought them to this
port. They lost everything except the
clothes they had on their backs.

CUBAN WOMEN I0UGHT BRAVELY, MAY OUT OFF THE FCOD SUPPLY-
An Insurgent Officer, Whose Wife Was Cut'
to Pieces by the Spaniards, At temps Sui- j
: cide, and Is Severely Rebuked by the In
surgent Commander. f - , :
Havana, April 18. Further Hiforma
tion from the front shows that the battle
of Tuesday last at Laehuza was the most
severe since the beginning of hostilities.
It was a complete defeat for Colonel Lin
ares by General Maceo, whose force con
sisted jpflS, 003 men. Spanish reports place
Colonel Linares'; fores at 1,500 men, of
whom 450 were killed and 500 wounded.
The insurgents lost 203 killed and about
400 wounded.
, Maceo led his troops into the thickest of
the fight, and Colonel Linares' forces re
treated in disorder. They finally made a
stand on the wharf; 'of the San Claudia
plantation behind rude fortifications,' un
til a warship came to their rescue. The
Cuban forces on the shore made sad havoc
with the troops as they embarked, shoot
ing them down in their boats.
In the battle a company of Cuban wo
men fought bravely. In ah effort to cap
ture Colonel Linares an insurgent, Al
varez, got separated! Seeing his danger,
Mrs. Alvarez and several others, followed
him. Both husband and wife were caught
in the Spanish lines, and tried to fight
their way back with machetes. Thinking
that his wife was still at his side, Alvarez
made his escape, but she was cut off at
the last moment, and was literally hacked
to pieces by Spanish machetes. In his
grief and chagrin Alvarez shot himself se
riously. . ' '
General Maceo commanded Alvarez to
appear before him. ' On demanding a
reason for his crime, Alvarez said he could
not endure life purchased by his wife's
deitth. Maceo replied : "Pray God you
may die,' for if you live I will surely hang
you. C uba needs men too sorely to, lose
any except in the face of the enemy."

Buluwayo, April 20. So far as the sit
uation is ihipoved here over that of Sat
urday is 'due to the departure of the
enemy, which has been massed to the
north of the town for several days, and
from which an : attack had been almost
hourly expected. ' .
This movement, however, brings little
comfort to those in Buluwayo. The excited
manner in which the natives quitted their
positions indica.ed a confident purpose of
mischief. There is no evidence Jthat they
were alarmed; Friday at the. demonstra
tion of the patrol of forty-two men from
Buluwayo against their vanguard. Al
though this vanguard was ; driven back
upon the main i body, the patrol did not ,
dare to place itself within reach of the
overwhelming numbers of the main body.
The direction tpken by this body of hos
tile natives after quitting the position to
the north has not been learned. But it is
feared that the purpose of the movement
is to try ana effect a junction with the
rebels in the Matoppo Hills, and thus sever
communications to the southward. The
road runs through the Matoppo Hills to
the south of Buluwayo, and this is a diffi
cult and dangerous one for fifty miles
from here, at which distance the road
reaches the Mangwe pass. This angular
and precipitous defile, it is said, must be
held, ' It is of such a character that it can
well-be 'made impregnable against the at
tacks of native warriors, but for the same
reason, if allowed to get into the hands of
the natives, "it would be difficult to dis
lodge them with any force at present
available. T leave this pass to the enemy
would effectually cut off the intercourse
of Buluwayo with the outside world,

No News of Nansen.
St. PETERSBURG, April 20. The police

Dr. Nansen. Ust Yansk is the point east
of the Lena Delta from which was dated
the first report by Kushnarff, contractor
for Nansen, that the explorer had reached

A The Charg-e Against Bishop Diaz.

say that the charge upon which Bishop

is denied communication with his friends
in the office of the chief of police, where
only prominent persons are detained.' Mr.

British Sooth Africa Company Officers Not .

tion at Buluwayo is not as serious.as repre- -sentedin
non-official dispatches.; and that
the town is not in any real danger.. The
Chartered company today announced that
they learn that the officials of Buluwayo aro
confident that they ca'n hold thej town,
and that the town of Salisbury is also
safe, and is organizing its' defense forces.
All of th'? non-official dispatches from
South Africa reflect a ''-contrary, tone and
continues to represent the situation at
Buluvyayo as alarming and the condition
of affairs throughout Matabele as growing
more and more threatening. Elaborate
precautions for defense, indicating a mo
mentary fearjof overwhelming attack, are
reported from Buluwayo, and grave ap
prehensions exist there that communica
tions with the settlements to the south
will bej cut off. " The supply qf provisions
is diminishing in Buluwayo in a con
