A Davenport (Iowa) special of tkeSSth to the OMeage Tmm gives tke following partlcnUra of tbe recent terrible aesMtont en tke rtver near the former cltyi A tenritls and most keartrendlng accident oecuried In tke Mississippi River, near this etty, last night, which resulted In great lose of life. It appears that tbe steamer Gllokrfat left this point about 10; SO o'clock, la apparently good trim anlhaoodltlon, bound tor alt points up Um river, loaded with a large aad valuable cargo of miscellaneous freight and carrying la her eablm a full list of passengers. When tke atoamar had paseed under tke Government bridge spannine the Missiesioni. and connecting the

ettiw of Davenport and Rook Island, tke mm-rods of Um engine suddenly gars way, causing the satire maehiMry to become unmanageable aad UMlets. The river Just now is very nigh, owing to tke recent and extensive Hoods, sad tke cur

rent is ooetequently unusually rapra, ao when tke steamer Gilchrist bad no longer

her machinery to keep her bow up stream the swiftly-running river earned the help-

lees vessel down stream at a rapid ana appalling rate. Being so near the bridge the etoamer wm thrown with tremendous and

resistless force agalnat one of the abutments. As the Gilchrist came la collision

wltk Um enormous mam of stone she ca

reened, causing Um weights on the safelyvalves of the steam-chest to break from

their fMtonlngt and slide off. The valves no longer holding a check on tbe steam In

tke boilers, It poured out in huge volumes

and enveloped tke hapless crew sna passengers, wko were wildly endeavoring to aeeurc life-preservers In the main saloon, and scalded manjr ot tkent In auawfu) manner. Ko sooner had Um steamer rebounded from the shock of the collision than she began sinking, In which condition she wm jarrted past aad below this city, tbe shrieks and cries for help uttered by the trenstcd Victims baitur distinctly audible by large

crowds ot eKixene wko soon thronged Um banks, but they ooukt extend no assistance.

m tke steamer wm burled neat their eyes

bv the turbulent river. All of the small

TtMkUa mnd thuYa usuallv numerous on the

river bad been drawn ashore and laid awav

for the whiter and to escape Um Hoods which

have orevsiled all along the course of the

Mkeleslppl River for nearly a fortnight, ao

there wm no means of speedily reaching the

ttakisw ataanser or the men. woman and

children who were doubtless atrug minx at tkat moment wltk Um our

rent. But the veeuls en tke land

did not stand supinely while their fetkMra wet Mriahlne- before their eye, for

Um other steamers that happened to be ly

ing at the bank immediately hastened Into

motion, thronged by eager helpers, una an hastened 'to the scene of tbe disaster, In hopes ot rescuing at least some of those on board the Gilchrist. As I write these hurried Unas these steamers are actively at work searching for survivors. I learn that there were en board twenty-three passengers, four of whom were females, and a crew of fifteen. Only eight persons have Tmm uml ao far. and of thane some are

very badly scalded. Three of Um lady passengers ate known to have been killed or scalded to death. Tke city la in great exelement, sad everything possible Is being

dene to relieve tke unfortunates. There h but little hope that any more can be saved. Tke boat la said to have been la a bad eondutoa, aad wm considered tutesfe by many One poor 'wretch at the polios Headquarters is la awful agony, wltk tbe skin peeled from kk body, hanging In strips, simply tmrbotled. Another wm crushed between

Isthmus and sovereignly ef Colombia, the Department addressed a letter of liwtructlou to tbe United States Minister at London. An identical note was Mat to each ef tke

American Ministers In Kurope. Secretory

Maine, in his letter of Instruction, says

It hM fallen under tke observation of

the President, through tke current statemenu of tbe European press and other usual channels of eommunteatlon, that the great powers of Kurope may possibly be eonttderiuff the subject of guaranteeing

the ncutrsltty of the In tor oceanic Canal now protected, across the Isth

mus of Panama. Tke United States

recognizes a proper guarantee of neutrality

m essential to tbe construction and success

ful operation of any highway across the Iathmus of Panama, and more than a third of a century ago this Government took every step that is deemed requisite in the p reta

il. The necessity waa foreseen and

abundautly provided for long in advance of

any possible call for tbe actual exercise of power. In 1441 a memorable and important

treaty wm negotiate J and signed between the United States of America and Um Republic of Mew Grenada, now tke United States ot Colombia. By tbe fortySttk article of that treaty, iu exchange for certain concessions made to the United States, we guaranteed positively and eatcaciously a perfect neutrality ot the isthmus of any iuterooranie .eomntu it teal Ions that might be constructed upon or over K for tke maintenance of free transit from sea to sea,' and we also guaranteed the rights ot sovereignty aad property of the United States of Colombia over the territory of the ietbmw, m Included within tbe borders of tke State of Panama. In the Judgment of tke President, this guarantee given by the United States of America does not require reinforcement, or accession, or assent from any other power, In more than 'one instance this Government baj been called upon to vindicate the neutrality thus guaranteed, and there Is no contingency now foremen

or apprehended la which such rlndtcaWen would not be within tke power ot this Xa-
