PEK1LS OF THE SEA. I
PEK1LS OF THE SEA. THE EXPLOSIONS ON AMERICAN LINERS. ARREST OF A SUSPECT. I MYSTERIOUS CRIMES ON THE I EVE OF DISCOVERY. The disasters and narrow escapes firm dis""œri< which have haunted the Ward Line of American steamers during tho past ytar have been so frequent and 01 origin 80 HUgjjes- tiv., ef m"lio:ou, devilry ou the part of collie one that an arrest of i, Cuban ill New York charged xvith clandestinely packing explosives in apparently harmless merchandise shipped ou the Ward Line steamer Yumuri in August last has eausttl something of a seuaation, Victor ji. Do La Cova is the name of the man who xva> put under arrest. He is in the pack- ing business, and lives in Brooklyn. Cova ia alleged to have shipped on the steamer a quan- tity of cartridges encased in boxes within barrels of tallow. It is well known that many more or less successful attempts to carry ammunition and other materials of war to ( 'uba are frequently made from America, and had it not been for the remarkable scries of mishaps xvhieh have befallen the Ward Line steamers this cartridee shipment might have been classified xvith efforts of that nature. But the Ward Line has suffered seriously from exploeious. The most disastrous of t h ese (-aus? the burning of the f}tttusAïxî;;('ffllhêlb:il(:t t: No?..?ber 1, 1893 By this calamity eleven pmo?is lost their Ii" and the ship and her c'.? '"? ?m "? dt?stmytd The ??ideitt oeourred itot is tho i)f'rons on board wflre sitti ig down in the early evening to dinner. It was proofded by an explosion so violent as to throxv passengers nearly across the s;doon. Instantly dames burst out, and tho crew a«d passengers barely had time t. gt i.t. th. t and upon life-ra f t*, Capt",n Hoffman being tho a.t to leave the Fhip alive. The first news of the disaster xx as brollht tr) lh,YIIJJ1:Jh on Novemher 2 by the seoond t)tticei\ who came into the har. hour in all open boat, accompanied by eleven Captain iioifman, in describing atfterxvards the violence of the explosion-, said:—"At 5.40 in the afternoon of Novem- ber 1 we xvere about 28 miles from Matan- zari. I was seated at dinner. Suddenly all txplosion took place. The hatehes were all blown off, the skylights blown up and sent through the awning and the ship was found to be on lire in all the holds. The force of the explosion lifted me from my s^at and threw IIle on the table. Ei,t.t coloured stevedorei, who w? seated on the forward hatch eating their supper, wo thrown up into the air and fell back into the hold, xvhere seven were rescued by the crew," The next serious disaster to a ship of the Ward Line occurred oinly a little more than a month after the blowing up of the City of Alexandria, on the 23rd of December last. This, too, was caused by au explosion. A* in the easo of the CIty of Alexandria, the ex- plosion occurred after the ship was well out to sea. The Seneca Was neariy 100 miles out from Havannah on her homeward voyage to Ne,w York. It wad about eleven o'clock in the morning when, without warning, there xvas a dull, heavy report somewhere in the forward part of the ship, followed in- stantly by an outburst of dense clouds of smoke and flames, so tierce and widespread throughout the holds of the ship that it soon became, ob, viollo that there was no hope of subduing them. Tho Seneca wa<s headed about, and tlU!n began a xviid race for life against the roaring names. Hy tremendous exertions the vesse l was 1 brought Ixiek iwto the harbour of Havannah where she had to be scuttled and sunk to put out tll<' tire, The similarity between this affair and that of the City of Alexandria was too obvious to escape notice, and it became tho conviction of many people that the Wartl L'ne ?:t? being aHal'ked by some enemy or "nemi"< xvhose lI1atiitv waS almost yond compl": Illusion. In addition to th? p??,?ii., circumstances I 'lI,i,ntoho C'W fc;a;I;¡::sta; another event had occurred which, -,?1,1(?d ,itl? what )>efcl ttie Seneca, had au omiuous signifi- cance. This wa. tho discovery in a bag of coffee, which had 1,n brought to Nexv York by the Ward liner City of Washington, of an infernal machine containing enough dynamite to have blown up a massive building 011 terra firma, to >ay nothing of an ordinary merchant steamer at d. Tho discovery was made on December 9 last, about two xxveks before the Seneca explosion. The infernal machine XVSM wrapped in oil silk, and was provided xvith a mechanism working upon percussion cap, which for rome rcaHOn had failed to operate. Pol lowing the burning of the Seneca lame that of the Yucatan, which took nla. in the early part of May in this year. In the same mysterious way as the Seneca and the City of Alexandria the Yucatan had taken fire at sea, only in this instance the flames flid not make themselves known until the vessel xvas a I01lzt,t" distance from her port of sailing than •in the other instances. The Yucatan, in f-,ict, xvas so near Nexv York that she made the run there xvith her hold. a smouldering mass of fine. She was docked, a fire engine ¡:;1mm1f1lh")d and plough water pumped into her to put out the fire. In September last still another steamer of the line, the Orizaba, caught fire, and then again the Yumuri. the same ship on ",hid, De La Cora is now accused of surrentit iouslv shipping cartridges concealed in barrels of tallow. The managers of tJw line havp hen very secretive concerning the misfortunes xvhieh have come upon their ship?, and what- ever othpr discoveries of a simihii, nature they ha\'8 IlIade they alone kuoxv. It is well under- stood that they have been moving I,paven aud earth in a ouiet way to fathom the r-onspiracv of whirh the seem to have h(en fhe ohwd, and this fart led to a ,ene,1 credence of the rumour that in the arrest of Be La Cova they havp t"kpn a- step whieh may result in some interesting disclosures.

FEXARTH THOROFGHFARES. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE WESTERN MAIL. Sir,—Who are the authiíTit;es III the renarth district responsible for preserving the safety of the roads and the lives ami property of the ratepayers? Having occasion from time to time to drive through the roads in that <li"rriet, 1 have frequently been a victim of the negli- gence of those in power xvhose duty it- is to preserve a fairway for pedestrians and vehicles. XVithia the past few days I had occasion to drive- through Stanwell-road, Penurth, on bIlsi. ness at a late hour of the night. Imagining I Was in the oon tines of a place governed ? by a local b.d. with accredited officials supposed to attend to the roads, &c., I xvas surprised at what occurred. I was within an ace of having my vehicle upset, my neck broken, and a similar disaster to my driver by a series of rubbish heaps some few feet high reaching into tlie middle of the road, and xvhieh, owing to the darkness, could scarcely be observed. But a few days have elapsed since the Ponart-li Loeal Board sum- moned several people for leaving ash-buckets on the highway, and this looks like the old tale of straining at, a gnat and sxvalloxving a camel. Again, in Windsor-road 1 saw a gentleman step into a mud heap- -refnse from building opera- tions—placed right against the pavement in a narticularly dark spot. I hope my protest will have the effect of rousing the Penarth Local Board to a sense of tlieir duties with resnect to the keepings of the highway*.—I am. &c., A VICTIM.

Of eoui>e, we <-an- not get away frtmt the tact that if the Union wish to get rid of professionalism tii« wo4 stringeni ('()lIJ8è will have to UP taken. But, ill Mr. Pain's opinion, the proposal- ar "too stringent, too far reaching, '.t;.id t;;l- culated by their very severity to defeat the ob- ject thev have 1n view. One example he gives liol tlm prol)Oal to make a duh for th aets of its members. "To m>ist that it shall he resjxmsible for what a mere ri'ket- holder may do (he >ay»). and to every mmiber of :t club for such an infraction, is monstrous, ridiculous, and absurd, ami would entail upon committee* ndk an anv-nut of anxiety that few would care to act. i'Or my own part, I lx*liev»> tin- Union have ovr- reached themselves in this matter, and if th Mippurt of tlw Noi*t hel'1H'r, it to be retained t considerable mooiticatioll will havei to 1; made u p on a proj»sal which g i ves any single mem l jer fl club wwei- ';lilu\\Tit[1)!:g;1'1: out of mere spleen. How. for instance, would the other propopftl of the :Eog-],¡sh Union affect their clubs 111 cases of this kind Hay, for examl>]", a memb;, having 110 connection with the executive of the club, makes overtures purposely for the object of involving his club out of mere spleen aga;nst one or Inore 1uemlx.rs of it. The Kntflisli Union, of course, take up the matter, alld call upou the club to -"o\e thir innocent*. As a Ix.dy, they may be ijuite dear and honest of any wrong intention, and yet, forsooth, bccau-e one insignificant member had purposely draped them into a hole, the body hi;\v- to sutfc; "fer hirf faults. Clearly, the Union will have to make changes here, How the matter to be thrashed out thoroughly it is a bit difficult to understand perhaps the way suggested by Mr, Pain would be as good as any other. He thinks that eveiy affiliated club should holcl a meeting of it, mem ber., that the question should be thoroughly discussed, and resolutions embody- ing the views of the meeting passed, whether for or against the projwsals or alternative pro, positions, and copies of such reaolutins I", ,^eiio to tlw Union, for in tills wav 011 !V. can th Union know th feeling of its "1XJIIstituent" A mepting of for the Ka*tern Division of the Welsh Rugby l'nion Wa, held on ►Saturday last, when it was decided that tho team to represent the East at the fO"¡:'č'Hl1in¡: trial ,natch should not be selected until att<r the Cardiff-Newport match. It was also de, cided to F. W. Cooper, the Bradford cap- tain, to play for Wales in the forthcoming intcrnatlOlial IlIat(.h. It is pmbahle a Western Counties and South Wales Crieket League may be formed next season 011 lines similar to the Lancashire organi- sations. There are many good club s rowht make the venture a success with tlu-ir 11"11). viz., Thornbury, Lansdown, \Vellingt< iu Ol-m- œster, Ne«v{>ort. Swansea, Carditt", and Bed. minuter, with oÜ1ers, It ix rather a queer ooiucidence next Satur- day that, whilst the Cardiff Hugby Club aie trying conclusions with the Newport Clutl at Newport, the Cardiff Association Club will i. testing the strength of th" Newport .rilll"fi Club on the Roath-road ground. The Newport First El,, are reported to bo a warm lo. especially when they turn out their full strength. The win of Cardiff by three goals to two when the teams last, met- was, by all account, a "h.fer stroke of luck, and, fro;" wl1M f gather, thp mateh was as good an exposition of tÍte socker game as we have yet seen thi sea-on. The Cardiff Club are now weeding out tln-ir weak points, and by all au-ount some of our local clul", may look out for vengeance for what hag happened in the mrly lyirt of the season. They have ma:1 » considerable change III rhe forwards for next Saturday—that is, _1111",[ Cochrane from centre to Keasley, on the right; put Luther centre, and Coyne with Brtwu on the left. Cochrane is a trifle young as centre for- ward, but yet the committee maintain he is a worthy forward, and may do a little bettor under thp tuition of Beasley. Cochrane i. ollly seventeen years of age, yet the tinest-made bd of the team, and, with little indulgence, will surely develop into a clinking forward. I am glad to hear that the club will be soon turning out" ncw full hllck, who has sent all intil,tio!1 ta th" dub that he intends takinw up his commercial residence in Cardiff. I know )10 is a good one, ,;() let us hope for his support. Sir.—Kindly allow me a small space in eon, tradiction of your noted re the Bridgend v. Maetteg match. You stated that the Mu^steg was a "scratch disorganised combination. I beg to state that the club wa* organised many years ago, bt it is only thi. -,i that it i?- reached its present state of proficiency. Tin; t,? hi,?h played againat Bridgend last S_ atur- day i" exactly th" same team which h??. played throughout this -on. An unbeaten re<-ord was theirs until last Saturday, when Bridgend beat them by a try to nil. They caUl" off victo- rious against Canton, beating them by a goal on their ground in the Sophia Gardens, and abo haY8 made a. draw with Tondu on the Tondu rourd. Every team in the surrounding al- leys have suffered defeat at their hands by ?onie enormous .()res.- 1Trusting that this wili show that your note is erroneous, I alii, kc., W -J. GILBERT, Ho.m.
