The cruiser Chicago sailed yesterday from Taraatave, Madagascar, for Delagoa. The fhp was on her way around the Cape of Good Hope, to Brazil, but, owing to the unsettled state of affairs In the Transvaal, she will be d.-talned in that vicinity as long as. may be necessary to afford protection to the American ir erest in that quarter. These Intcrrst are considerable, toth in the number of Americans resident in the Transvaal engaged in mining ' operations and in the volume of American capital employed in the mining Industry. A reciprocity treaty, relating to the British West Indian colony of Bermuda has been concluded and the Bermuda, commission haa left for home with a draft of the treaty, -which is to be submitted to the Bermuda legislature, before being finally signed on behalf of the two governments, by Commissioner Kasson and Mr. Tower, the British charge. Fair progress is being made on the Jamaican treaty, but the negotiations will not be concluded this week. Commissioner General Powderly, of the Immigration Bureau, to-day mailed to San Francisco warrants for the arrest and deportation cf the six Japanese who were recently released from custody by the Federal Court on a writ of habeas corpus. It is not thought the court will further interfere in the matter. Senor Quesada, the Cuban agent here, has undertaken to secure the release and transportation to Cuba of the Cubans who were conllned in the Spanish penal settlements of Ceutah and Fernando Po. Just how many of the prisoners are still in confinement is not known, but Senor Quesada called to-day upon Secretary Hay and Secretary Alger and secured from them promises to take steps immediately to secure the Information as to the status of these prisoners n'otssary to the making of formal representations to the Spanish government on the subject. Rural free delivery will be established In the following Indiana towns on July Z, one carrier being allotted to each: Franklin, Huntington. Logansport. Madison, Ilushville and Salem. The negotiations for a modus vivendl regulating the Alaskan boundary have fallen into a state that Jeopardizes a successful outcome and causes apprehension among officials. Nothing has been heard from Ambassador Choate as to the results of the conference he had to-day with Lord Salisbury on this subject, but the last phase of the case was that the Canadians had come back with a counter proposal in place of accepting the definitive American proposition, which had been carefully drawn with the sole purpose of preventing any future controversy over the points already agreed on between Mr. Choate and Lord Salisbury. Instead of following the lines of the American proposal and confining the counter proposal to a p'aln statement of the points already roughly indicated as marking the boundary, this last issue proposed a radical change in the line on the DaJton trail, and was of a character wholly unacceptable to the American side, involving, as it did. the transfer into Canadian Jurisdiction of the fortunes and claims of many American miners.' Unless there is a decided abatement on or.e side or the other of the demands the desired modus will be as unlikely of attainment as vas the permanent agreement on the boundary question, and the chances for a reassembling of the joint high commission will fade away entirely. Dr. Herman Schoenfelt. a professor at the Columbian University In this city, will be

made Turkish consul general, resident in Washington, shortly, the Turkish minister hiving asked the State Department to Issue an exequateur to him. It will be Mr. Schoenfelt's aim to foster more intimate, trade relations between the United States and Turkey. He will endeavor to push the trade In Turkish tobacco and olives, believing that the cheapness of these products in Turkey gives room for competition w ith Cu- , nan too j ceo ana uauan ouves. ur. ocnoeniru u i uiir iiiuu was - micvi ouiiea uuusui at Riga, Russia. The Spanish government Is about to take steps to determine how many Spanish-born residents of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines Intend to maintain their allegiance io the crown of Spain. iTovislon for this was made in the treaty of Paris, which allot s on6 year from the date of exchanging ratifications of the treaty within which Spanish-born residents could make known their wish to remain subjects of Spain. The newly appointed Spanish consul generals at Havana. ; Manila and San Juan will open roisters at their respective stations, and at other points where Spanish-born residents may make a declaration before a court of record . ot their Intention to continue allegiance to the crown of Spain: otherwise, allegiance Is renounced, and they become citizens of the territory In which they may reside. There Will be no more Snanlsh appointments for the present, the purpose taing to allow the new consuls general to determine how far the service should be extended in Cuba. Porto RJeo and the Philippines. The appointees then will be drawn from the local Spanish residents. In this way the Spanish authorities expect to secure an organization in touch with the local Spanish sentiment. The SnnnUh minia Duke of Arco. leaves for Manchester by the sea to-morrow, where the Spanish legation will be located through the summer. 1 PLAGUE SHIP ARRIVES. teai ''.Kippon Mam In Quarantine at San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The steamer ippon Maru arrived to-day from Hons. Kong via Yokohama and Honolulu. The vessel was detained at Honolulu for several days on account of the two deaths having occurred on the voyage from bubonic plague, when the Maru entered this port the yellow flag was flying and the vessel ws ordered to the quarantine station. All or the passengers were landed on Angel Island and neither doctors nor customs offlcials were allowed on board. The fumigation process was applied to some of her more important papers and those were pent ashore. It is reported that a Japanese woman died two days a?co from the plague after an illness of but a few hours duration, but whether this report is true or not cannot be ascertained. The Maru will be kept in quarantine for some time, probably several weeks. She carries flfty-flve cabin passengers, six of whom are Europeans and 13S are Japanese and Chinese in the steerage.

TRIBUTE TO HENDERSON

GOVIJHXOn HOOSEVi:i.T ritAISES Tin: iowa co.x;iti:?s3iA. Speech at Mndliou While Uetorniiiff from ew Mexico JiuIeaburR' Citizens I'rKed to Support Slclvlnley. MIL.WAUKi:n. Wis., June 27. Governor Roosevelt's daylight journey across Missouri, Iowa and Illinois was a delightful one from every point of view. At Fort Madison Governor Roosevelt responded to his introduction with a glowing tribute to Iowa and Congressman David C. Henderson, the coming speaker of the House. Governor Roosevelt said: "Among all those present here I think I appreciate most seeing the faces of those who wear tfce button of the array of the civil war. They understand thai while ours was the lesser war, we sought to do our best, Iowa did not have the chance in this war that she did from lfcil to 18tt3. but a Eon of Iowa has Just captured the country from Bar Harbor to the Golden Gate David 11. Henderson. I know his career In the army, how he went to the war aa a lieutenant, lost a leg. came home and let it fairly heal, then returned and fought again as a colonel. The deeds of Colonel Henderson are history, and inspired us as we went to battle. Cheers. I regard it as a great fortune that the speakership has gone to such a man as Colonel Henderson, an American in the broadest sense cheers, an American of Americans. He will take the second place In this government at a time when every true citizen should uphold the hands of President McKlnley as he deals with questions in the Philippines. You of Iowa, you who sent your 'War Governor Kirkwood to Garfield's Cabinet, are to be congratulated on sending a soldier and statesman of the character of Henderson to the speakership.' Galesburg sent a delegation to the train, headed by Congressman Prince, Mayor Carney and others. Fully 3,000 people were at the station when the Mayor said: "I wish to introduce the highest type of American citizenship. Thedore Roosevelt." The governor, in his reply again touched upon the national necessity for cordial support of President McKlnley In his war policy. He said: "I am glad to see the men of the great West. You of Illinois, of the State of Uncoln and Grant, are bound so to act as to show yourselves to be leaders. Just at present a president of the West trying to solve with dignity and honor the problem in the Philippines. You can beat pay homage to the memory of Uncoln and Grant by upholding the hands of President McKlnley. Show by your deeds in the present that you feel more than a lip-loyalty to the mighty past, Jast so long as there stands a foe with arms in hand, no treating for peace. As soon as the arms are laid down, deal with them in all honor and equity, showing special consideration for the weak. When face to face with an armed foe. we must know no cleavage of parties. When you get down to the waterllne the president stands for all men and no party." When the cheering ended the Governor said, in conclusion: "Suppose Grant and Uncoln were here to-day. what would they flo? What would Lincoln do? What would Grant do? Would they uphold the president or would they attempt to pull him down? Help President McKinley now to play the part Lincoln and Grant did In 'S4 and 'Cc." At Jollet. while the Governor was speaking a man yelled: "We don't want the Phlllj?lnes." Quick as a flash the Governor answered: "You don't want the flag to go back before an armed force." The crowd yelled Itself hoarse In approval of this sentiment. At 3Iilvankee' Carnival. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 27. Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, arrived from Chicago to-night. The Governor was Immediately driven to the carnival court of hCmor. where h viewed the electrical and other decorations.

Of the deaths one was on board a ship in the harbor, one was the case of a marine, one soldier died and two civilians were fatally stricken.

It is also provided that an applicant who fails in the tirst examination may try a second time after an Interval of six months. Under the law as it now stands a complete knowledge of Spanish and Cuban laws is required as a condition of eligibility. The San Lazaro leper hospital now contains 3Ti inmates. Energetic measures are being taken to gather all afllicted with the disease who remain outside. Urder the old management inmates were allowed to come and go about as they pleased. Present conditions are a wonderful improvement. Everything is clean and the sanitary arrangements are excellent and the inmates are well fed. The steady increase In numbers has led Senor Capote, secretary of government, to ask General Brooke to appropriate $l0w to enable a continuation of the work, which Is in charge of the Sisters of Charity. BASEBALL RUMORS. Columbus May De Transferred to Cleveland Sew Leagne Possible. CHICAGO, June 27. The Times-Herald to-morrow will say: Arrangements are now being completed to transfer all of the Columbus Western League team ' cames to Cleveland and it is even possible that the games between Detroit and Columbus next Saturday may be played in the Forest City. President Johnson, of the Western Baseball League, is now in the East, but before he gets back another movement of far more import than the withdrawal of the RobLsons from Cleveland may have been started. A strong movement has been set on foot for the formation of a new baseball league, which in a measure will be a competitor of the National League and be on the line of the old American Association. It will try to resurrect baseball Interest In Cleveland by locating a club there and the rest of the teams will be located In seme of the strongest Wtsiturn League cities. Louisville is interested in the new enterprise to the extent of wanting to get a bvrth.

The case has attracted widespread attention. COLUMBIA TESTED AGAIN AND FAILED TO MAKE AS GOOD SHOWING AS EXPECTED. Defender Held Her Own -with the New Ynchl-Tuo UruMhes Off the Rhode Island Coast. NEWPORT, R, I., June 27. The yachtsmen who 6aw the brushes between the new sloop yacht Columbia and the Defender, the champion of 1S35, to-day are not so enthusiastic to-night over the speed of the new boat as they were after the short skirmish off Jamestown on Sunday forenoon. To-day the two great racers met under different conditions from those which prevailed in their first trying-out. Instead of a light air which scarcely heeled the two boats the wind to-day was a good wholesail breeze from the southwest, which compelled the crews of the racers to lie out windward in real racing fashion, and under these conditions the Defender made a most excellent showing and her performance this afternoon somewhat depressed the owners and admirers of the Columbia. This morning both boats sailed dead to the windward for ten minutes from Brenton's reef lichtshiD. Allowing for the lead which the Columbia had for the start, the new sloop gained about one and one-half minutes in fully one and a quarter hour of steady sailing under equal conditions. During the morning's brush the Defender held her own in the short reax:h toward rolnt Judith, with booms a third out. This afternoon the try-out revealed the fact that the Columbia, in her present condition, is not going to have an easy time with the old boat when they get together on the meas ured course and with a stiff breeze blowing. Yachtsmen and others, however, need not worry about the Columbia's speed, for she is a very fast craft, and the tuning ud that she will get between now and October will certainly make her a fit boat to meet the British challenger Shamrock under any cir cumstances. This afternoon's skirmish was started on equal terms, with a strong breeze blowins: from the southwest, a fairly smooth sea and r o yachts to bother either boat. The racers started side b side, the Defender to the windward about one hundred yards away, and after putting out to fee for about four miles in a direct line fror C. Brenton's reef lightship, or about six -illes tack and tack, the Columbia gained about twenty seconds, not enough to prevent the Defender from forcing her about, and Captain Rhodes desired to claim that right. The Defender had the riht of way on the Columbia, and had she not relinquished this to serve as an illustration of how close the two boats were to each other. Captain Rhodes'a j-acht would have met the Columbia Just about amidships. A few seconds before, however, the Columbia parted her topsail sheet and, seeing this, the Defender eased up and the race was over. The parting of the topsail sheet on the Columbia caused a tear in the canvas, but the hole was not a very large one and can be quickly repaired. Both the Columbia and the Defender will start for New London to-morrow morning and will undoubtedly race all the way. Mr. Isleln said, however, that the gffances of a race depended considerably upon the weather and whether the topsail could be repaired In time, otherwise the Columbia would go over under easy sail. After the race Mr. Isleln expressed himself as fully satisfied with the Columbia and said he would be content if she could beat the jjerenaer, nve minutes in a miriy-mue course. NEW YORK, June 27. S. Nicholson Kane, chairman of the regatta committee of the New York Yacht Club, announced to-day that the date of the Columbia-Defender race would be July 6. The Shamrock Starts for Southampton LONDON, June 27. It is said in authoritative circles that the alloy of which the Shamrock Is constructed above the water line is composed of three parts aluminium and one part nickel. Her deck is also said to be constructed of sheets of the same metal three-sixteenths of an Inch thick, thus effecting a saving of about two-tenths in the weight of the deck alone and stiffening the yacht's hull more effectively than could be accomplished with wood. It is considered that yesterday's accident has proved the strength of the metal, for while the force of the Impact was enough to swing the yacht around about four points the only damage done to her by the vessel whiclt collided with the Shamrock was a dent about half an Inch deep, with no sign of cracking on the surface of the metal. A new plate, however, was substituted for the damaged one. The Shamrock's masts Tere stepped today and the fitting of her spars and standing and running gear is proceeding rapidly. The length of her lower mast Is given as 106 feet, her topmast Is said to measure seventy feet, and it is reported that her boom is 110 feet long. The cup challenger started for Southampton to-day. Numbers of people visited the West India Jocks to-dpy for the purpose of seeing tho Shamrock, but only those in po.--sesslon of permits were allowed close inspection of the yacht. Among: those who visited the cup challenger to-day was Lord Dunraven. The officers and crew of the Shamrock, numbering In all about forty men. now have complete charge of the vessel. Woman CroMri Stlierlu. VICTORIA, B. C, June r7.-The steamer Empress of China arrived from the Orient to-day. Amonff her passengers was Mrs. Stevens, wife cf the manager of the Baldwin locomotive works, who. with her husband, made the unusual trip across Siberia from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock.

SOUTH AFRICAN RUMOR

DRITAI.V, IT IS SAID, HAS SECURED A. ISLAND IX DELAGOA DAY. Feurs of the St. James Gazette, London's 3Iot Radical Jlnfto Xenniapcr The Peace Conference. LOXDOX, June 27. It is persistently rumored here, says a dispatch from Johannesburg to the Standard, that Great Britain has acquired possession of Inyak island, in the mouth of Delagoa bay. The St. James Gazette, which has been remarkable for its Jingoism on the subject of the Transvaal, caps tho climax to-day by earnestly appealing to the British Admiralty to "take immediate steps to counteract the plans of the representatives of the Clan-na-Gael from the United States who are now at Pretoria with the view of obtaining authority to start a 'fleet of rrivateers under the Transvaal flag with the object of looting Cape liners." m AMCrtlCA.NS WI. AT THE HAGUE. Most of Their Arbitration Ideas Adopted by the Conference. LONDON, June 23. The correspondent of the Standard at The Hague says: "The propcsal of Mr. Ilolls, of the American delegation, for the revision of the arbitration tribunal's judgment has been postponed for the present, as there is no doubt it will eventually be approved. In the whole arbitration matter the United States has scored" a signal success, most of the ideas of the American delegates having been adopted. Their representations in Berlin secured Gernany's assent. I hear that the full conference will deal with the American proposal a to private property at sea, all opposition based on the question of competence being abandoned. Most probably, however, it will be adjourned to a future conference." The correspondent of the Times at The Hague says: "As a result of a protracted informal discussion of the committee's report to-day, the Russian military disarmament proposals were declared unacceptable." ISo Arms Shipped to Doers. WASHINGTON, June 27. At the British embassy it is stated that no communications relating to the Transvaal have been received and the published report that representations had been made as to the shipment of American made arms to the Boers is characterized as rubbish. In this connection it appears that a London press agency recently had a dispatch from New lork stating that American firms were selling arms to the Boers. This dispatch came to the attention of Colonel Lee, British military attache here, and in the course of his inquiries on military affairs, he asked as to the truth of this dispatch, receiving little Information beyond the fact that arms were not likely to be shipped to the Transvaal as It had no ports and no means of receiving them. Colonel Lee says this inquiry was entirely on his own account and so far as he knows the British government has paid no attention to the matter. French Consulate Burned. NEW YORK, June 27. A dispatch to the Herald from Hong-Kong says the Chinese custom house and the French consulate at Meng-Tlng, on the Yun-Nan frontier, were plundered and burned on June 22, by a band of armed Chinese.

Doumer returned to Hanalo on June CI, passing through Meng-Ting.

SIgnor Mereghl, an Italian aeronaut, ascended to-day at Graz, Styria, to a height of 10,000 feet, when his balloon burst and fell. When about forty feet from the ground the aeronaut leaped from the car and was picked up unconscious, with a broken leg. In the car was found the paper containing the words: "I am dying contentedly, having reached my term." This led to tho belief that Mereghl intended to commit suicide. He denies, however, any such intention and says he wrote the sentence while the balloon was falling. Mrs. Pole's Divorce Salt. LONDON, June 27.

A new turn in the Fowler Chase case developed in the local courts to-day, the intent of which is not yet clearly understood by those outside the circle of attorneys engaged, and possibly not all of these. It will be recalled that a few days ago the local court decided to appoint a receiver for the young man's estate, stating that this was to hold until tho sanity or insanity of the heir could be judicially determined. The Lafayette Loan and Trust Company was named as receiver and prepared its $500,000 bond, when attorneys for the Duhmea upset plans by filing notice of appeal. The court said that a similar bond would be necessary to carry the receivership to the Supreme Court, and an Eastern guarantee company was required to show its responsibility when offering to give the security. This established, the court was ready to accept the bond, and completion of this move was expected to-day. Surprise was created, therefore, when in court this morning it was announced that an agreement had been reached between the contending attorneys and the motion for an appeal was dismissed by Air. Gaylord, representing the Duhmes. All the attorneys refuse to give explanation for thlj sudden abandonment of this phase of the now celebrated case, but leave the inference that the whole proposition is to hinge on the trial of the insanity case, set for hearing in the Circuit Court on July 5. So far as expression goes it is the apparent determination of all concerned to push this issue to as speedy a conclusion as possible. It is asserted that each side will have a number of expert witnesses on hand for the contest. George p. lleywood, one of the senior Chase's attorneys, is now in New York. It is not understood here that his mission had aught to do with the movements of the Duhmes and the junior Chase, since there is no known process for interfering with their pleasure In going whither they will. The most probable presumption is that he is in New York to secure depositions from certain witnesses who are expected to support the claim of insanity. IJttle faith is placed locally in a report that there has been an attempt to induce the Duhmes to come into this county involuntarily, bringing young Chase with them, for final determination of the dispute. It is believed that the fight has grown too bitter for an agreement on any such proposition as this. As evidence of the animosities created it is related that Mrs. Duhme telegraphed Fred Cha.e a few evenings ago: "Get out of my house immediately." This command related to Chase's occupancy of a dwelling left by Moses Fowler to Mrs. Duhme until Fowler Chase should become of age, and which he has until recently occupied without dispute. The boy having become of age the property is not Mrs. Duhme's. The elder Chase, however, has not occupied it much in recent weeks. The Lafayette Lean and Trust Company this afternoon assumed control of all the property in controversy, so far as such a thing was practicable. This includes the handling of grain, rents, etc.. in Benton county. The whole estate cannot be turned over to the receiver until Fred S. Cha?e returns home. He has been out of town for several days and his exact whereabouts Is not known. ' OBITUARY. Arlbnr Tennyson. YonnRtr Brother of tbe Late Celebrated Toet. LONDON, June 27.

HIS BROTHER'S SLAYER

GILI1ERT GATE'S QflCKLY IDENTIFIES OLD MAX JESTER IS JAIL. 31urdcrer Drenka Down When Confronted by Brother of Ills Victim Starts for Missouri To-Day. SHAWNEE. O. T.-June 27.-John W. Gates, of Chicago, to-day unhesitatingly Identified Alexander Jester as the man who murdered his brother, Gilbert Gates, twenty-eight years ago. The identification took place in the Jail at Tecumseh, where Jester is confined, and under most dramatic circumstances. Under Sheriff Ward had about fifteen prisoners sitting together in the corridor of the Jail when the party entered. With scarcely a moment's hesitation Mr. Gates, after a glance at the prisoners, fixed his eye on Jester and, walking up to him. said: "Mr. Jester, do you not remember me?" The old man stared at him for a moment, when he dropped his eyes, and replied In an almost inaudible tone "No." "Do you not remember me transferring you from the Jail at Taris. Mo., to have the papers read to you for the murder of my brother?" asked Mr. Gates. Je&ter made no response. His bead pent farther forward, his face began working convulsively and then he broke down and began to weep. In a minute or two he brokenly replied he had forgotten. . "Donrt you think it is time." ased Mr. Gates, "for you to repent for the foul deed you committed when you took the life or my brother, then cut a hole in the ice and shoved his body through?" Jester seemed completely overcome, and after a moment's silence murmured in broken tones, "God forgive me! Gor forgive me!" . In a few moments he recovered his composure to some extent and begged jit. Gates not to talk any more about his brother s death. Mr. Gates says ho will prosecute his brother's slayer to the full extent of the law. Thirty years ago Alexander Jester lived seven miles northeast of Hagerstown, Ind.. and he is well remembered by many of the older citizens. Ha was a quiet, orderly man, famed for his great strength and tbe prodigious amount of work he could perform. The farmers yet relate stories of his performances and Epeak of him with praise. He was a local preacher and exhorted with much vehemence. His sister, Cornelia Street, who has betrayed him to the officers, made her home with him. About 1SG9 he removed to the West, but the point at which he stopped was not known, and nothing was heard concerning him until he came back, driving two horses to a light wagon, and leading a young buffalo. He said that he had gone to Missouri, but had taken a notion to come back home. The rig, he said, had been the property of a young man with whom he had traveled for some days. The joung man was from Chicago and was on his way home after driving among the hills that bordered the Mississippi river. Jester said he had purchased the entire outfit of the young man. Not many weeks after his return some officers from Missoull arrived at Hagerstown on the track of Alexander Jester. They gave no information concerning why Jester was wanted. They were directed to his farm and there they arrested him and started back to Missouri with him and Cornelia Street accompanied them. Shortly afterwards papers from Missouri arrived giving details of the murder of Gilbert Gates by Alexander Jes ter, and related the story of the long chase the officers had to catch the murderer. Sub sequently the papers stated that the officers had arrived with their prisoner and that a mob was forming to lynch him. Nothing further was learned of the case for twentyeight years, and It was supposed that Alex ander Jester nad been killed by tne mob. Recent developments, however, show that Jester escaped from the moo that was forming to lynch him and was landed la Jail, lie escaped and made his way into the Indian Territory, where he was afterwards Joined by his sister, Cornelia Street. They have lived there ever since. Jester Must Stand Ilia Trial. GUTHRIE, O. T., June 27.-Sheriff Nel son, of Audrian county, Missouri,' arrived hero to-day with a requisition for the re turn of Alexander Jester to Missouri. Gov ernor Barnes has honored the requisition mid the sheriff will start for Missouri, with his prisoner to-morrow, the court at Te cumseh having this evening denied the writ of habeas corpus asked for by the prisoner s lawyers, NEW GEYSER BREAKS LOOSE.

Clyde and Landed at AV Una Ins to a. WILMINGTON. N. C. June 27. Th George W. Clyde, Captain Roberts, of th New York Clyde line, arrived in this port at U o'clock this morning with Capt. A. D. Ingram and crew of the steamer Pawnee on board. The Clyde had picked them up from small boats very soon after they had abandoned the Pawnee, which wa3 destroyed by fire on Sunday night. Captain Ingram says the Pawnee was abandoned off CurritL this State, a little past midnight Sunday. Tha fir was discovered about mldnl and had gained such headway that e effort to check tbe flames was futile , leaped in great volumeXrom the rd hold of the vessel, and dense shk e completely enveloped tho deck. "When the alarm was made Captain Ingram was asleep, and no sooner had h rushed out and taken In the situation than he saw that if he saved his crew he must get them off at once. However, the pumps were set to vork and tnrew two streams of water upon the llames for several minutes before he save the order for the boats to be lowered and the ship abandoned. While the crew was manning the small boats Captain Ingram rushed into his cabla for some valuables which he hoped to save. When he reached the ship's side the boat had drifted out ot reach, and about that time the smoke shifted sc as to envelope that side of the vessel, and the captain ordered the crew to row the boat, to windward. This they did, but in the meantimethe wind shifted again, the heat and smoke forcing tbe crew to pull away without their captain. There were three vain efforts of this kind made, the boat being rowed to tirst one side of the vessel and then to tho other in attempts to reach the captain. Finally Captain Ingram leaped Into tho water and f warn two hundred feet or more toward the boat. One of the crew held an oar cut to him and pulled him in completely exhausted and almost unconscious. In the meantime the George W. Clyde bad sighted the Pawnee in llames and bore down on her in time to pick up the captain and crew within a few minutes. Captain Ingram says the Pawnee had a full cargo, principally lumber. There was also a quantity of cotton. She cleared from Brunswick last Friday. The Pawnee's crew consisted of twenty-one men, with the following officers: Chief officer, B. Macbeth: second officer, Joseph Parker; chlef engineer. Clayton Piatt, and assistant engineer, John Ego. All are well. The Pawnee left Brunswick on Friday and Charleston on Saturday for Boston laden with lumber and a general cargo. She carried a crew of thirty-four men, but would have no passengers. The vessel was valued at $100,ouu; fully Insured. Steamship Rejected. BERLIN, June 27.
