'xhoyare as lollcws: naflntease Is that of W. H. Brekenshaw, Who waa Injured at Jackson, Mich,, in 1865, by three f eitow-aohiiers Jiimning on him while he was olimcinc lota his bunk. Onrmisaiuner Black rejected the claim on the around that the injury waa not received in th Hue of duty. The Assistant Secretary overrules this decision, holding that the claimant was ia his proper place, ready to perform such duur as he might be celled upon to do, and the injury alleged aa the around of pension happpened to him witht'Ut any fault or neglect on his part. Another case is that of C. H. Sedgwick, late ciidShipmeu iu the navy, who waa injured by a kick from ecmrade whom ha was "'twitting And teasing' The assistant secretary sustains the former decision refceting the application on the ground that the claimant contributed dirc-jtly teprcdnoa the cause of his injury, and was at the time engaged ia a manner manifestly in violation of, the ruaw of the service.

mix PAUTIOUIAKSI OJf THK FKMillTPUL CALASHTV AT SAMOA, T The Worst Hurricane Kvor I&iovcn In the South PaclBe-Shlp After Ship Wrecked by the Tempest Terrible Suffering of the Men. .- - Apia (Bamoii) speoia. The hrurrioane which passed over the Samoan Islands Much 16th and I7tb was the most violent and destruc tive storm eter known in the South Pacific. The loss to life and property was -rery groat.- The United and Germany alone lost US lives and 13,000,007 worth of property. Six warshiiis aud ten other vessels were dislodged or driven ashore. Of the American gunboats tho Trenton lies nesx tho United States oonsulate and is fast going to pieces. The Vtuidalia is buried out of sight between the Trenton and tho shore. Her ehattored foremast and smokestaok rise from the water to mark the spot where the gallant vessel f truok and luy for twelve hoars bofore ithe awful torrent of water svept our officers and thirty-nine men f torn" her decks and rigging, Tho Kipsic lay for sevurai days alongside tno venaium, with her bow high on the beach and within five feet of tho water's edge. The vessel, though badly damaged, was hauled off a few days after the storm and is the only wars hip afloat in the harbor. She lost five men by the swamp ing of a boat, and two others who jumped overboard were drowned. It was on the little German gunboat Eber that the neatest loss of life occur red. She bad a complement of six offi cers and Sflventv-si;: men. Five ir-na Twos shoT6 dtinrnr "the storm". "When the vessel struck the reef she sank com pletely out of sight, and a minute later there was not a vestige of her to be seen. Every man on board wag lost except one officer and four sailors. The German corvette Olga suffered less than any of the other vessels. The British ship Calliope was the only one that escaped. She having very powerrai maotunery, pun to sea. All the other vessels had a fall head of steam on and three or four anchors oat, bnt before that awful storm they were like toys ill the hands of a giant. Many of the sailors became drunk soon after they got ashore. But the officers rallied them and the injured were eared for. The natives rendered every assistance, Americans and Germans being treated tilike. The damage on shore was also very great. Houses were unroofed and blown down and trees and fences were thrown across the streets so that passage was almost blocked. All the vessels woathered the storm through Friday night, bnt all had dragged their anchors. A little after 5 o'olock the first rays of dawn broke npon toe scene ana to tnoso on snore revealed a spectacle not often witnessed. The position of the vaisols was entirely changed. The wind, which was blow, ing from the northeast, had swept them from their former moorings, and they were all bearing down in the airec lion of the reef. Black smoke was pouring from their funnels, showing that desperate efforts were being made to keep them np against the wind. Their decks were swarming with men clinging to the masts or any other objects. The hulls of the war-ship ti wero tossing about use cores, une moment the vessels seemed to stand almost upon their beams' end and tlw next Instant their sterns would rise ont of the water and expose to view the mdders and rapidly revolving propellers. Then the huge prows would be lifted high in the air, only to plungo into tbe next wave and deluge tho ships with a, torrent of water. It was then soon that the vessels were doomed and they soo n, suoounibed to tho fury of the tempest. Soon tho Adler come ashore and she was followed by the Kipsio. Host of the men on tho latter were got ashore on a hawser which the natives made fast. Tho British ship Calliope was still in the harbor. She was lying near the Vandalia and a collision botween the two seemed certain. The Oalliopo was nearer shore and her bow wan close to the stem of the Vandalia. Great waves were, tossing the two vessels abont and thev were coming closer together every minute. ouaaeniy tne great iron prow or tbe Englishman - rose high in the air on the crest ot an enormous wave and came down with full forte npon the port quarter of the Vandalia. The crash was awful. The jib-boom of the Calliope was carried J XI. ... . , - , - away auu tne neavy timoers 01 ine vandalia were shivered. Every man who stood npon the poop-deck of the Vandalia was, thrown from his feet by the shock. A hole had been torn below tho rail and the water rushed into tbe cabin. It seemed that the Vandalia had received her death blow and the men rushed np the hatches in the belief that the steamer was sinking, and it was only after great enort mat tne omoers persuaded them to return to their posts. dust nrter this collision Capt. rtane of the Calliope determined to make oji effort to steam out of the harbor, as he saw that to remain in his present position fould lead to another collision with the Vandalia or throw his vessel on the reef. He accordingly gave the order to let go nil anchors. The Calliope's head was swung around to the wind, and ner powerful engines were worKea to their utmost capacity. It was an anxious moment on board the corvette, as with her anchors gone, she had nothinc bnt her engines to depend npon to keep her off the reef. The steamer seemed to stand still for a moment, and then the rapidly revolving propeller had its effect, for the vessel moved up slowly against the great waves, which broke over her bows and flooded her deoks from stem to stern. Clouds of blaok smoke poured from her funnels and fresh coal was thrown into the furnaces. All her great power was nscd in the desperate struggle against the storm. She seemed to make hor headway at first inch by inch, but her speed gradually increased until it became evident she could clear the harbor. As she passed abreast of the Trenton a great shout went np from over 400 men aboard the flagship and three hearty cheers wero f;iven for the Calliope. "Three cheers or the Trenton and the American flag" was the answer that came back across the angry waters. The Calliope passed safely out of tho harbor and steamed far out to sea, returning after the storm abated.. An attempt was then made to beach the Vandalia, and she was ran alongside the reef and within 100 yards of shore, when she grounded. Several attempts were made by the natives to take a line to her, but they were in vain. The vessel swung around with her broadside to the wavos, and one by one her officers -and crew were swept off by the torrents of water, but few being saved through tho heroic efforts of the natives. The Trenton had thus far weathered the storm through the skill of her navi. fating officer, Lieut. Brown. Herruder was, howover, carried away and her fires pat out by the rush of water through the fiawes-hofes. Sho then fooled the Olga when tho latter let go her anchors and was run nshore. The Trenton drifted on toward the Vandalia. A new danger now arose. The Trenton was sure to strike the Vandalia, and to those on shorn it seemed that the huge bull of the flagship would crush the Vandalia to pieces and throw tho hundred men still clinging io hor rigging into the water, ft was now after Ii o'olock, and th light was beginning to fndo away, and in half an hour the Trenton had drifted on to within a few yards of tho Vandaiin's bow, and the men in the rig?;ing of the latter ypswI trembled with ear as they saw the Tronton approach. The noor creatures who had been cling-

'fng for hours to the rigging of the Van (ihlia wttre bruised and bleeding, but they held on with tho dosperstion of men who hang by a thread of life. Their final hour seemed to be npon them. The great blaok hull of tbe Trenton could be seen through tho darkness almost ready to crush into the stranded Vandalia and

tod her to atoms. A.fiuddenlv a shout win heard across the waters. Thi Trenton was cheering the Vandalifc. The sound of 450 voice's broke ttpon the air. "Three cheers for the Vandalia" was the cry that warmed tho hearts of the dying men in the rigging. The shout died away upon the storm and there arose from the quivering masts of tbe sunken ship a response so feeble that it was scareely heard npon shore. The sound of music next came across tho water, the Trenton's band was playing "The Star Spangled Banner." The thousands of men on the Bee ond shore had never before heard strains of mnsio at mioh a time as this. An indescribable feeling came overthe hundreds of Americans on tho beach who listened to the notes of the national anthom, mingled with thb howl of the storm. For a moment only they wero silent and then they yako forth with a cry that rent the air fend reached each of the struggling men ou tut) rigging or tue r auuaiia. The men who had exhausted every means daring the whole of that awful day of rendering some assistance to their comrades now seemed inspired to greater efforts. The collision of the Trenton and Vandalia, which every one thought would crush the latter vessel to pieces, proved to be the salvation of the men in the rigging. Notwithstanding the tremendous force of the waves the Trenton dragged back slowly, and when her stem finally struck the side of the Vandalia

there was uo stock and she graduA-H'n

swans! around broadside to the sunken ship. As soon as the vessels touched the men in the niizzen rigging crawled out on the yards and jumped to the deck of the Trenton, The men escaped just in time, for as the last left the yards the misnenmast of the Vandalia fell with a crash on the side next to the shore. Iba other men escaped in the same way. After the storm abated somewhat, the men on the Trenton were taken off in boats. King Mttnafa came down from his camp early in the morning for the first time in several months. He went down on the shore and directed the natives in their work. He then went to the American Consulate and offered tbe services of all his men to Vice Consul Blaoklock. By noon there were nearly 800 American sailors on the streets of Apia. The saloons were crowded with them, and it was not long before many wero disorderly. Vice Consul Blacklook, reoognizjing the gravity of the situation, issued a peremptory notioe to all saloonkeepers in town of whatever nationality forbidding them to sell or in any way furnish liquor to American sailors, and notifying them that if they did not obey this order a guard of marines would be sent to their places and all liquor emptied into the street. Most of the Trenton's crew remained aboard of her after tho storm subsided, and work was begun to lighten her and purap her ont, but it is feared she was badly broken below. All the inhabitants united in rendering aid to tho shipwrecked sailors, many of whom are shol tered in tents in Apia. Admiral Kimberly remained with the Trenton, SUNK IN THE OCEAN. Probable Loss ot the Steamer Daamarlr, with Hundreds of Lives. The steamer Danmark left Christiansand March 20, on her first voyago under her new flag and name, bound for New York City. ' She had been completely owrlmuled, and it was thought by all that sho was the best of tho fleet. There were on board of her at the time of her departure at least 710 people. Of these, 650 were passengers. To ni mage and to look after tho comfort of this large number of passengers there must have been at least sixty in the crew, and probably the number may have readied 100, or perhaps 125. Thero are, therefore, to be accounted for tho lives of from 710 to 775 people. All of the passengers embarked at Copenhagen. Tho InmanLiner City of Chester sighted the DanmaTtl' iq "midgegan,, at which time she was rapidly sinking."" Tha Iauiafk!!( h great number of lifeboatsenough for the great passenger list and several new life-rafts of tho latest pattern and improvements," which could hare accommodated the crew and officer and some of tbe passengers if there was not enough room in tne lifeboats for them, and it is hoped that, if she sank, the passengers and crew escaped. The Allen, from Bremen, arrived at New York on the 13th inst., but brought no news. The steamship Iceland, of the Thingvalla Line, which left Copenhagen four days later than the Dauniark, reached New York on tbe 13th lust., bnt brought no news of the miss ing vessel. On board of her were many steerage passengers who intended to have sailed on the Dauniark, but through delay that proved fortunate for them they had to wait for the steamer Iceland that they came y.
