The positions Of the German army round Pa

nicates on its right with the left OF the Fifth
Corps This total force ia equal to eight corps, or
about 900 men, being deduction OF about
twenty per cent. made from the full war strength.
The investing force is drawn up In three main
lines, the first being subdlvided into sentries,
pickets and grand guards There are telegraph
lines run from the most advanced line of sentrtes
TO the rear so that force sufficient eventually to
contest the ground with any force the French
have yet sent out Of Paris is collected within
very short time after the nrst alarm.
1t is painfully evident that but one person sur
vived from the Inflated Cambria. Three boats are
still missing, and the only one which came ashore
Is thought 10 be the same from which Mcfarland
was rescued. The fact that the boats have not
been found Is not considered as affording much
ground for hope since the fishermen say that the
coast is 80 rugged that, even II they came ashore
they would not be preserved to be recognized.
The wreckage which has been cast on the Derry
and Antrim coasts Is chopped into pieces 80 small
that It Is almost impossible to believe them part
of large steamer. As yet no examination OF the
caves and rugged shores Of Innlstrahul has been
practicable, owing to the bolsterous character OF
the weather. but the occupants Of the lighthouse
affirm that so f,r as their examination has gone,
1t has yielded no trace Of the absent passengers.
An arecting statement is made by the principal
lIghtkeeper. On the night when the Cambria was
wrecked he had opened door or window in the
lighthouse, apparently few minutes after the
steamer struck on the rocks. Looking to seaward
he observed light short distance away, which
suddenly disappeared, and then there rose above
the roar OF the tempest the agonizing shrleks Of
men and women, which were quickly stIlled. This
Is the last that was seen Of the Cambria.
