Wahiiixotox, March $. Statements that the captain-general of Cuba had formally demanded the recall of the United States consul-general at Havana, und that the Spanish government had acceded to the demand, lack confirmation here, und are received with incredulity. Consiil-Uoncral Haiuon O. Williams has long been considered one of the ablest men in the United States consular tervicu.khi tenure of ollice exceeding in length that of any otllecr of the corps. He was appointed vice-consul-

general at Havana in 1S7I from New York by President Untnt, and ten

j v.u. uuer was promoted touts present rank by President Arthur in recognition of his ability. His retention in this position by the last three administrations Is evidence of the value set upon his services by the government, und he has always been regarded as a most acceptable officer to the .Spanish authorities. He is thoroughly conversant w-ith the Spanish language and Spanish diplomatic usages. His salary ofStl.ooo a year is the hitrhest naid to

any consular ouleer, being 01,000 greater than that paid to similar officers in London, Paris ami Herlin. The fees of his

ollice for the last year amounted to S'JO.000. The position of Consnl-tJon-eral Williams has always been of a bonii-diplomutic nature on account of the ease with which revolutionary movements in the island are supported from neighboring points in the United States, and Iiis heretofore cordial relations with the Spanish ollicials at Havana indicate sutliciently his attitude towards the authorities. No intimation has ever

j been made that he was friendly to the numerous lilibustering parties or to Cuban republicans. His recent con

sular reports hare contained nothing that could be construed as reflecting upon the general government at Madrid or the colonial administration of the island. During the present revolutionary crisis in Culm, under instructions from the state department, he made representations to the captain general in the case of lose Maria Aquirrc. an American citizen who was captured with other revolutionists, asking for his trial by civil tribunal as provided for by the protocol of the treaty of ls77. This request was promptly granted by the authorities.

not having been docked since September 1, and the regulations requiring all steel ships to be docked every six

monins. The return of the vessel at this time when it is possible that other vessels may be needed at Panama at any moment occasioned notne surprise among naval olüccrs, many of whom expressed the opinion "that her sudden departure is uot unconnected with the sailing of the Uritish cruiser Nymph from San Diego for Honolulu. It is now well known that. tin. flnri.i

Philadelphia, no alone protecting American interests at Honolulu, bus not lieen docked for a long time and is probably in much more need of cleaning than the Hennington. This is what probably caused her tn

make such poor time when she went to the islands. It is certain that Honolulu will not be left without an American war ship in the next few mouths, nnd it is thought theliennington is irohii? to th.

Philadelphia's relief. The new cruiser Olympia, which was commissioned February 5, is at .Mare Island getting ready for sea. She bus been designated as Admiral Heardslee'a flagship after April 1, aud it is a question whether she will tro out to Ilm..

to start. The towboat Hercules t arroll, which was alongside all night, was signaled to be in readiness to help the Longfellow throngdi the bridges. About :( the hoats .started. Owing to her length, it took some little time for the Longfciloiv to turn and get her

Head down stream. At a few minutes before 7 the boat was in a position to move down stream. The Carroll was on the left or port side of the Longfellow. The boats passed under the suspension bridge in good shape. Immediately after this, however, she began behaving- badly. A cross current seemed to strike, it ltd swung her bow around toward the Kentucky shore. Efforts were made to right her so that she would pass between the piers of the Chesapeake ,t Ohio railroad bridge, forming the span on the Kentucky side. The swift current of the river carried her along rapidly. Those the boat could see that it would be impossible to avoid striking the pier. Thu alarm was sounded immediately, nnd the nassenccrs. some of wlumi

were at breakfast, while others were still in their births, were hurried to the deck. While some of the passengers were still in their cabins, thu crash came. The boat struck the pier with her starboard, or right .side, just behind the boilers. The crash was an awful one, nnd for a brief space the air was filled with Hying timbers, glass and iron work. Those on board the boat, many of whom were in their night clothes, were hurried to the Carroll, which waa. still alongside. Consternation reigned. There were piercing cries and terrible yells. Women fainted. The frenzied passengers hurried nrottud ia search of friends and relatives the moment they touched the deck of tho Carroll.

In the meantime, the immense Longfellow was being driven harder against the pier by the swift river. In less than live minutes after she struck there was a loud crash, and the boat parted amidships. The bow went down into the river first, disappearing completely, und the stern followed. Some of the upper works lion teil down the stream, and the wrecked hull came slowly up and also floated away. Some four or five 1111. n were on the floating cabin, and these were taken oil immediately by the crew of the Hercules Carroll. A number of small boats put out from the shore nnd picked up persons who hud jumped into the river. Five minutes nfter the boat struck there was nothing left hut 11 lot of floatintr wroclmim to hmir

that there had ever been such a boat ns the Longfellow. Everything on board the boat in the way of registers, papers, valuables, cargo, etc., vent itown with her. The passengers succeeded in saving but few of their belongings. The passenger register was lost. The cause of the accident can be attributed to the boat refusing to obey her rudder when she struck the. strong current just below the suspension bridge.
