Tbe only way of saving life was by running ashore, as tne vessel was in a sinking condition. This is the statement of Lou McQuillan, one of the saved. 8 a m. The state of affairs this mor ning is terrible. Dead bodies are lying along the beech lor a aisiance oi two miles. They are an Deing piacea in proper places, back from the beach, and the living are being carea ior. About one third of those found are dead Two saloon women and their husbands are known to be dead.

At 8:30 p m the vessel started a neavy leak in the rudder case. Finding, he could not gain on the leak with the pumps the captain concluded to light en the steamer by throwing overboard coal, and to bear .away , for Hampton Roads., At .midnight the circulating pump gave out.

The Hohua of Aim. mbns adjourned the debate on the six million sterling supplemental bill i to night, Tbe government intends': to press the measure to a vote, which is somewhat in the nature of a vote of confidence. "About equal cheers greet ed the points made by the speakers on either side. Lord Derby said in the Bouse of Lords that the government's first care would be to secure the settlement of peace with tbe concurrence of all the European powers, and-vuhen tbe terms of peace are known, they would receive the. deepest and most Earnest consider ation of the govern mentoue of whose obvious duties it wonld be to secure as far as possible equl justice to Moham medans and Christians Vienna, Feb 1.

The govern ment has telegraphed to its represen tatives at the capitals asking for infor mation. The Russians continue to ad vance.'' "' j It is officially announced that Ad- miral Hobart Pasha', fleet has arrived from Batoum, bringing ten battalions, and Dervish Pasha is expected at Con stantinople nhortly. This is very sig- tuhcant,and it evdently implies the evacuation of Batoum, either in face of the anticipated Russian assault, or in fulfillment, of the stipulations. It is not likely that the Russians would make an assault while negotiations are pending.' ; i ' - , - The telegram does not mention the alleged recent destruction of the Turk ish steamer on the harbor of Batoum. by a torpedo sent from the Russian steamer Constantino, as mentioned in a St Petersburg dispatch of January 30. Baroness Burdett Coutts has receiv ed the following telegram from the re lief agent who has been with Suleiman Pasha: VGallipoli, January 80. I have ar rived here alter a march with the army to theea I will stop here to relieve 70000 refugees who are in great dis tress.

JSngiishmen cannot imagine tbe suffering, destitution and ruin of these last three weeks to an innocent and in dustrious people." The Vienna political Lorrcspondrnce. and the Berlin Provincial Correspondence the latter pemi omcial. agree in the statement that the principal cause of the delay of the armistice is a difficul ty about the military conditions im posed. A Vienna piper says these in elude the occupation of Constantino ple. London, Feb 1. The Turkish minis ter has received a dispatch that the gen eral basis of the armistice and .peace were to have been signed yesterday. The afternoon s Pall Mall Gazette has a special from Rome which says : "Prr. vate telegrams of undoubted authority say the Russians are within twenty-four hours march of Constantinople. Italy is prepared to make an alliance with any powers to -oppose Russian supremacy. The limes in its second edition, has a Pera dispatch saying : "The ministerial council has determined to defend the city if attacked." The financier says: "The members of the Stock Exchange yesterday, amid a storm of groans and yells, burned the Times and JSews and some other puoiio cations of a pro-Russian tendency. Tbe members then signed an address de claring confidence in the government. There was a similar demonstration at Lloyds. Several out-door meetings in the country yesterday, to protest against supplementary credit, were taken possession of by the adherents of the government and turned into anti-Russian demonstrations."
