She was kiiow.i to be in dan rer because she was on t lr most agerons shoal on the coast, bu how irreat lhe danirer-was no one sns peetcd until this afternoon when servers on the shore reported that di sh e seeined to be breaking up. The extent of the disaster and the tact tnat live ' lti'nt? ivut l.-l Hill ilTttH1 were lost and luteen were in im minent peril only became known when i life-savers came back from the stranded j steamer tonight and told the stor'y which reached Norfolk over the govern ment seacoast telegraph line from Hat teras. They said they found the British steamship on Diamond Shoals fast breaking to pieces. Those brought ashore are: Capt. Charles Samuels, who commanded the Virginia;" First Officer Wynss, Second Engineer Simmons, Third Engineer George Mitchell and Seaman Martin Rnsmussen. r ifteen of the members of the crew sailed away Kortn after the steamer struck on the shoal Wednes day evening, and have not been seen since. "The boat Avas heading reaward when she passed but of sight, and may have been picked up by a passing ves sel. The fate of boat and men can, however, only be conjectured. Five of the crew were drowned by the swamping of one of the two bor.ts in which all aboard embarked when the steamer first struck the reef. Captain Samuels and those saved with him swam back to the ship when the boat sank and got aboard the steamer. The Virginia is a steel ' steamer of 1,515 net : tons register, built in Glas gow in 18S8 and owned by the Virginia Steamship Company, limited. London; was 289 feet long, 38 feet in breadth and 10 feet deep and was bound from Daiquiri. Cuba, for Baltimore with iron ore. She Js a wreck and is fact going to pieces. That she was not, sooner dis covered is due to the dense fog that prevailed. : Another ship of tiie same line, the Rosefield. is here, bound front Pensacola for Rotterdam. She passed Hatteras yesterday, but Captain McFee urn not signt tne trgua. ay an error the Virginia was mistaken for the trans port Buford and the authorities at Washington telegraphed here today to ascertain if she was the Buford.

Mr. Proctor resi-nitetl a letter from the Secretary of War, in which he ad vi.sed strongly against the adoption of the amendment. Mr. Lodge thought it was a great mis take to create civilian corps with simply a multiplication of commissioned officers."- Mr. Gallinger said it was important that educated men should be in the army to care for the army animals, aiid thought the amendment ought to be adopted in justice to a class of educated, professional men. These veterinarians, he said, oo'uldfiie swept aside no longer, as' merely hor.e doctors." He would es teem it a privilege to vote for the amend ment. . Mr. Foraker suggested that the corps feature of the amendment be with drawn and. that the veterinarians lie given a suitable rank and made amen able to their superiors in rank. To this suggestion ' Mr. Kenny would not ac cede, and demanded a vote. on his original amendment.. It was agreed to 25 to 23. As agreed to the amendment reads as follows: "That the veterinary corps shall con sist of ji chief veterinarian with the rank, pay and allowances of a colonel, V..

Mr. Bate delivered a speech in oppo sition to the increase in the army pro posed by the bill. Hi did not think the .yeople.-?'wnuld " approve of it. as they would regit rd it as a Hank movement to advance the spirit of militarism. Mr. Cockrell. of Missouri, antagonized vigorously the position of Mr. Bate. Ho said the increase was provided fois in the bill because the number of men pro vided for was absolutely required to care for and man the artillery in the -coast fortifications of the country. Ho did not regard the bill as a step toward mili tarism, but quite the opposite. Xo change was made as to the strength of the army. A proposition by Mr. Hoar for Governor's of States to appoint ca dets 1o West Point was voted down, and the bill passed.
