He was aided by his biutdtr. cereu, who, while visiting the conilo- irar.at.ed to smugs! a revolver in the prison.

The two men opened fire on Turnkey Flijah S. Darling, the only man who s'e-d brtween the prisoner and liberty. There re sudden sreuts, a rush ot feet, and a fusillade of pistel stints in the rotunda. Guard Witham rushed to the defense of Darling and returned the fire wi adly effect. Guards Abbott and Benjartis closed In also, In a few minutes all was over.

The Willis brothers iay on the floor of the rotunda. Herbert was mortally wound- ed. The biave turnkey suffered fr-nn a painful wound, but will probably recover from his hurts. The affair was all over Inside of thr-e minutes, but in that time the rotunda of the prison. In which Willis and his brother were con versirg, and from which the bold attempt to escape was made, was filled with smoke from the biasing weapons, and when it was averthe three men lay weltering in their own blood on the floor.

At tbe sound of the first shot the other prison officials rushed to the aid of their comrades, and those arriving first took part in the affray, one if them flrirg the fatal shot at Herbert Willis while grappling with him. The prison hospital report says that Convict Willis cannct live; the Massachusetts general hospital says that Everett Willis may live, and Officer Darling will live, although increasing inflammation may result in the loss of eye.

LOSS OF THE MEXICO. raclfto Steamer Btrnek OS Sltfca sag Want ta Uia Bottum. Saa Frsnclseo, Aag. 11. A spcciM ftom Vlcteria to The Chronicle says: For several days anxious inquiries have b-en made regarding the Pacific Ccast Stefimship cowipaBy's ship Mexico, which was scheduled to leave tomorrow en her second trip te Dyea.

When the vessel struck oft Sitka, as ported In an earlier dispatch. Captain Wallace and his officers quietly awaited their turn to be lowered over the side in boats. This was performed without a hitch, splendid discipline being maintained. After the passengers were safely off. the crew turned their attention to the baggage which the passengers had in their cabins and thi treasure and valuables belonging to the steamer.

There was no time to attempt save anything stowed below deck, snd, as It was, everything In the cabins could not be secured, although the captain and crew stayed on the steani'-i until It was no longer safe to do so. They had not been long away from her when she made a final plunge ard went down stern first. She struck on hei starboard bilge keel and a large waf torn In her side. Only a short time before orders were sent to the engine room to send her under full steam ahead an I consequently she went right through the rocks. Had she been an Iron vessel, very few would have lived to tell the story of the accident.

She would have gjmt down like a rock. At New Mekthala they had to spend several days awaiting the arrival of the Topeka, news of the- wr-k having been sent north to her by the steamer Alki. The passengers an.l crew had their wants attended to by Rev. Dr. Duncan and his Indians.

Of the 75 passengers. 40 were tourists, who made the round trip and other welcoming south from different Ahtskan ports. Included in the latter were a party of naturalists, v. ho had si-nt th ewnmer In western Alaska collecting specimens for the Columbian museum. Their specimens and notes went down with the steamer.

When she sailed from Seattli-, the Mexico carried 278 passengers and some tons of freight, consisting principally of the outfits of the Intending miners, and carried in addition thereto h-r- and one burro, which was uesed la packing these outfits. The Mexico was owned and run by the Pacific Coast Steamship company ar.d was well known on the sound. She was built In San Francisco In 'j2. IVr gross tonnage waa 1797; net, 1340. She was 275 feet long and Zf tent beam and had a r.eminal horse power of 1500.

Senor Canovas Del Castillo, the i minister of Spain, was assas yesterday at Santa Agutda uy an anarchist. The murderer fired three sb ts, two of which struck tbe rrerrier in the bead and the other In the chest. The wourded man lingered unconscious for two hours and died- His wife as but a short distance away when he fdi. Tbe queen regent, on bearing the sed news, dispatched htr own physician. Dr.

BuMos, by a special train from San Sebastian. Later, on learning that Cano vas as deed, she wired her condolences to the widow. IOR CAS'-TAS. Tie health cf Snor Canovas had Im proved of late. He had been leading a very quiet life, although he at tended to the business of state.

At the moment of the assassination he was waiting in the gallery of the bath ing establishment for his ife. who was to join him for lunch. Suddenly the assassin, who had the appearance of an ordinary visitor, approached and fired at him point blank, one bullet passing through the body and coming out behind under the left shoulder, and the other two lodging in the head. He fell Instantly and never recovered consciousness. Severa' medical men and his wife -were unremitting In their attentions to ttit sufferer, but h-ts wounds, unhappily, were mortal, and he died In two hours.

Extreme unctjon was administered amid a scene of mingled sorrow and indignation. The assassin narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the waiters and attendants, who rushed forward. JDetectives and civil guards immediately secured him. He was very pale, trembled violently, and evidently feared that he would be killed on the spot. Ke will be flrat arraigned before the local magistrates at Vergara.

The queen regent and all tbe members of the cabinet returned her today. Her majesty has entrusted tbe presidents' of the council to General Azcarraga, the minister of war, and tbe cortes will be summoned to reassemble tomorrow. The grea.e.-t excitement and indignation prevails among all classes. All the members of the diplomatic corps have expressed their sympathy with the government Many senators, deputies and general whi'e expresslBg their grief and Indignation, have offered to rendei the government all the assistance in their power. It was at first rumored that the assassin was one of the pardoned Barcelona anarchists, but this is not confirmed.

The murderer declares that he kflles Senor Canovae "in accomplishment of a just vengeance." and that the deed the outcome of a vast anarchist conspiracy. He is believed to have arrived at Santa Agueda tbe same day as the premier, and he was frequently seen lurking it the passages of tbe bathing establishment in a suspicious manner.
