A telegram from Lisbon to the United Steamship Company announces the safety of the crew and pasorgers of the steamer Dan-mark. "The good tidings reached Lisbon from the Azores.

Pal-en, the first officer, who is among theia, reports that on April 4 the Dan- mark shaft was broken, and on the next day the disabled ster-ruer met the steamship Missouri, from London March 28, for Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Missouri towed the Danmark until the when the- latter seemed to be about to sink. At first the Missouri was only able to take on board twenty of the Dnnmark's passengers, but after having jettisoned a portion of her cargo, she loun-i accommodation lor all the crew and pas-tngers of the Danmark. The Missouri then proceeded to the Azores, and lelt there the first, and second of. ficers and 320 passengers.

She then continued her journey to Iliiladclpbin, with 34 0 iassefcgers and the remainder of the crew. The Captain and three engineers of the Danmark left the Azores on the 14th for London. The Danmark was about 30O miles from Newfoundland whcl1 the accident haPiirncd. Some say tl't the engines broke down. Engineer Kaas was found dead in the engine room after the accident.

The Captain and. three engineers proceeded to London on board a. steamer from Demarara. The death of the Danmark's engineer was due to the bursting of an engine pipe. The engineer was killed on the spot, and the ship was badly damaged, Iu consequence of this damage, together with the breaking of the shaft, the ves- scl was helpless in the heavy seas that prevailed.

The Missouri is a new steel vessel belonging to the Atlantic Transport line, and has only crossed the ocean a few times. She is described as being one of the finest and best built Itoats carrying the English flag.

She is commanded by Capt. Mur- rt lL who has been trading between Iliilndelphia and London for the past six years. She sailed from London March 26 with general cargo, consigned to Peter Wright 5c Sons. The Missouri, it is said, could make the run from the Azores to the Delaware Capes without difficulty in ton days, but as she is like ly to be short of provisions and coal. the opinion is expressed that the Captain put into nearer port, possibly Boston or New York.

The First Serloos Trouble of the Street Car Strike Occurs at Minneapolis DriTers and the Police Stoned. Minneapolis. April 21. The first serious disturbance which has occurred in Minneapolis since the first general tie-up of car lines, a week and half ago. took place this morning at Twelfth avenue and Washington.

Two cars were thrown off the track, stones. bricks, bottles and other missiles were used, and twentv-eisht men were ar rested. Cars were run out as usual this morning on all the lines which have rcen oix-niled for the past tw days. No a letup has been made as yet to start the ICiversidc-a venue cars. This line runs through a portion of the city largely peopled by workingnien, and these were not working to-day.

The tearing up of a Krtion of the trick during the night presaged trouble. Kiverside cars were started early and the crowds soon legan to gather. At ahout 11 o'clock, as two cars going in opposite directions approached each other at Twelfth and Washington axenue, stones and bottles were thrown from saloon. This started the fun, and soon ii crowd of nloit 500 people had gathered. 1 lie two cars were thrown off and Imdly wrecked.

The scab drners were Uidly stoned. The police were summoned and they, too, were stoned. Some persons received severe hurts, but were hustled tint of the wav by their friends. The police were called from n'l the other lines of the' city and the mob was finally dispersed. Owing to the withdrawal of the officers from other lines, all street cars in the city were stopped.

The disorderly art of the streetcar strike seems to have just begun. Strikers and their sympathizers are tonight engaged in tearing tip the track on nearly all the lines in the outlaying districts. As last as the police can assemble to protect the com pony's pr-erty at one point, the mob seeks another and continues the work of destruction. The police lorce is wholiy inadequate to the protection ot the street property. SOCIALISTIC TIRAITES.
