A LIGHT vtrr-tu Jacksonville, Fla., May 6.-Two hodies, both negroes, were found float ing in the St. Johns river this morning. The charred appearance of portions of the corpses Indicated too plainly that they were victims of the terrible fire which swept the city last Friday and Friday nigh. i The river is fbeing watched today, reverybody (believing 'that the water -will give up its dead on the third day. This indicates that many people believe that the fire drove bewildered men and wo men into the river. It is Impossible to ascertain who is missing, as thousands (have left the city. A. McOottery, rwho was employed at ifche Gardner ship yards, almost lost Ibis life in trying to save the people fTho rushed down Market street to the river when thev flames were at their fiercest flight. He says !he succeeded in getting twentypeople across the river, but as many more were either burned o death or drowned at the jWer. , . , j, had no Idea- tthe ship yard was la danger," said Mr. . McOottery. "I was trying to save my tools as the fire was being "blown to the east and away from the docks. Suddenly the flames shot across the yard with the .wind from the west right behind them. I knew then everything was going. I fled from the building that was burning over my head. ! i ' "iOn the pier I saw a crowd of people. Of this number I saw only the twenty I carried across were rescued. There was absolutely no way of escape for them. After I had carried my boat ! ihalf way across the river I heard many cries ana snouts that seemed to come fire. Tlhere are man v rumors of loss of ltfe. but owing to the departure of thous ands of people from the city Mi ls im possible to verify reports umess 'bod ies are found. Newspapers are asked to print numerous notices regarding the rwhereaibouts of missing people. Mayor Boiwden asks that au sisxii. aama rromaiin jwfliv lfrom; Jacksonvdlle. The vast army of tdfle negroes is likely to cause some trouble, at is tDenevw that before the day is over all negroes Kvho will not go to work at 51 per sa.y and rations will (be deported: Martial law continues to be rigidly enforced. NEW YORK'S BIG FUND FOR JACKSONVILLE SUFFERERS intow York. May 6. The joint com mittee of the chamber of commerce and the Merchants' association to raise funds for the relief of Jacksonville to day authorized the purchase of sup plies, costing $20,000 and ordered them sent south aa fast as they could be shipped.

ALARMING SKUATION IN ITALY. Paris, May 6.-Patrie today publishes despatches from Palermo, Naples and Foggia reporting an alarming situation in Sicily and south Italy.

FAILURE TO STRENGTHEN CHI NESE CIVIL AUTHORITY A SE RIOUS BLUNDER ACCORDING TO ONE AUTHORITY. Washington, May .6 The latest mail from China has brought to the state department new proofs of the terrible and perhaps intrievable . conditions which exist under the foreign rule in North China, involving a situation not hitherto fully realized even in Wash ington and utterly unappreciated in the United States generally.
