The Life Saving Service of the United
States Government has gradually grown to
be considerable branch of the various in
terests confded to the Treasury Department
1t is IN its infancy, as compared with the
admirable systems which have girdled the
British Isles with life-saviDg stations, shelters
and apparatus. The Report of the Chief of
the Bureau exhibits frightful number of
wrecks that have occurred on the limited
coast-llne covered by the operations of the
service: but it also shows the beginning of
greater things: and, among the numerous
governmental Institutions that claim the
fostering care of Congress, few have 50 pa
thetlc and touching an interest as this which
cares for the lives and property of those who
navigate our rock-bound coasts.

The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections will meet this "wednesday,
evening at the room of Gen. Gordon, to con-
slider the credentials of the contestants for
the vacant Louisiana senatorship. Senator
West appears as the counsel for Gov. Pinch

Each contestant has delegation of friends

SPECIE PAYMENTs.--S Senator Morrill, s speech
is easily "the speech of the session thus
far' and 1t is not probable that the future
discussion of the important question he con-
sidered will draw.out anything that will at
tract more attention than what be said last
Wednesday. The Senator's effort meets the
appreciation of men of all parties, and the
democratic press speak as highly of it as do
the republican. We give elsewhere an arti.
Gle from the Boston Globe, which show rs
what leading republican papers say of it.

LIE OCEAN DISASTER. Capt Surmont o
the Vile du Havre blames the second officer,
Lieut.. Anduyand, for the collision with the
Loeb Earn. The lights of the latter vessel
were seen some minutes before the disaster
She being sailing vessel kept on her course
as was proper, but the steamer was SO man
aged as to get directly in her path. The
lieutenant committed suicide seeing the
trouble he had brought upon the ship
The Loeb Earn so badly Injured that
on the 29th, when she fell in with the Brit
lsh Queen, her crew were transferred The
Loeb Earn Was in sinking condition, and
the British Queen brought her crew into
port at Plymouth, England, on the 9TH.
The captain of the Loeb Earn makes the
following statement of facts attending the
collision with the Vile du Havre: lie SAYS
that after first sighting the steamer and SET
ing that she was coming dangerously near,
ne rang the ships bell and put his helm
hard apOrt. The helm of the steamer was
put to starboard, but the steamer came right
across the Loeb Earns bows The peopIe IN
VIZ AAtcS bOdt l1Ou Tue steamer ulU not
she was sinking, but the captain of the Loeb
Earn, observing that the steamer was set
thing down, sent out his boats. Neither the
first nor second French boat, which arrived
shortly afterward bringing the first and sec
ond captains of the Vile du Havre, attempt
ed to return, but in spite of the expostula-
tions OF all the crew who were left on board
the Loeb Earn and the threats of her mates
to fire upon them. remained alongside the
ship. The clothing of the French officers
who reached the deck of the Loeb Earn was
dry, showing no signs of their having been
IN the water. Finally, some Englishmen
seized and manned one of the French boats
and went to the rescue of those struggling
IN the sea. Only one of the French boats
crew assisted in the rescue. The captain OF
the Loeb Earn considers the great loss of
llie to have resulted from the fact that his
vessel drifted such long distance from the
steamer before it was possible to shorten
sail, from the hardness Of the steamer in
showing signs of distress, and from the mis-
conduct of her crew.

The Cuban Affair.

The dispatches of the last four weeks hay
a great resemblance to some that are not ye
wholly forgotten which used to be currer
o in war times. The news of to-day dispute
by that of Tomorrow, and the news of to
morrow not to DO believed till that of tn
next day was at hand. The epidemic Of ly
ing has broken out in as violent manifesto
ton as we remember to have seen.
The number of persons executed after the
killing of the four generals was forty-nine
making fifty-three in all. There remain al
Santiago de Cuba one hundred and two oil
the persons captured on board the steamer
So it seems that two thirds of the prisoners
are yet living, whereas the reports of the first
few days left but dozen that had not per-
| ished.
The last week has given US a new supply
of sensational dispatches on this subject.
The inhabitants of Havana were greatly ex-
e,cised in mind over the terms of the protocol
by which the Virginius was to be surrender
ed to the United States. The CAY tain-Gen-
eral, Jouvellar, issued a proclamation coun-
selling moderation. The next heard was the
text of dispatch in which Jouyellar resign
ed his position and requested new govern
or appointed. Following this was the state
ment that the volunteers never would give
up the Virginius.
The feeling in Havana is indeed intense
on the subject, but the Castelar, government
has not yet received any proof that its de-
crees will not be obeyed in Cuba. The Vir-
gnius is now said to be lying in Havana har-
Dor under protection of the guns of the Span
ish Navy and there is not any disturbance
looked for that will prevent her delivery.
Zueluta, president of the Casino Espanal,
and the representative man Of the violent
5laveholding interest, advises that course
Jouvellar has had no thought Cf resigning.
Minister Sckles is said to have resigned
his position of ambassador at Madrid. The
troubles which led to this have been MT so
much with Spain as with the American Sec
'etary of State. Mr. Fish has seen fit to
too directly with the Spanish
government to suit the notions that Sickles
las of what is due to him. The dignity of
lis office or of himself will not permit any
ak between the high contracting parties
hat is not carried on, as to the Yankee of it,
y his agency.
There is some excitement in Spain as well
S in Cuba relative to the position taken by
|astelar and his ministers. Castelar, is ac-
used of pandering to the United States, and +,
o doubt the Virginius affair will iniure his ,
influence at home for time. His presden- !
y has so far saved the TWO countries from a
ar. 1t has done this at nc expense of dis
onor to his own country but in pursuit of a +
beral craftsmanship. u
The situation may be to-day summed up a
= saying that notwithstanding the conflict 5
e rumOrS of the week there is no reason to -
oppose that the terms of the protocol will not
? carried out. G

THE MoDocs ESCAPE. The fruitess victory
ofthe troops over the Modocs, letting the saw
ages out of their trap may be called a victory
at all was accomplished after two days fight
ing and loss of several lives. The troops
possess the lava beds, but there are no Indians
in them, and so the design of the military au-
thorities to pen them up and exterminate them
is for the present defeated. They have fed to
the hill country of Southeastern Oregon, where
for some time they may continue to murder
and pillage the defenseless settlers. 1t seems
strange that in the face of artillery to bonn
bard, infantry to encounter and cavalry &c
pursue a band of a hundred savages, men,
squaws, papooses and all " silently stole
away" on Thursday, leaving behind them on
ly the half-dozen scalps and a single squaw,
taken in Wednesdays fight. As the red
handed savages will now doubtless divide in
small parties and commit excuses as they fly
from one point 10 another, the difficulty Of
pursuit and punishment will be very great
especially as it is probable to be complicated
by the prevalence of the epizootic now travel
ing towards that quarter, but il is to be hoped
that it will be no less certain.-Balto. Sun.

Destruction of San Salvador.

PANAMA. April ll.-Intellgence received
by previous mails from the North is not only
confirmed, but brings to a climax with the
entire destruction of the city of San Salvador,
and the ruin of population of 49, 600 people.
The first really violent shock occurred on
the 4th of March at about p. NJ, destroying
many houses The quaking continued with
many intervals until the morning of the 10th,
when at A. NJ, two light shocks, succeeded
by strong one, destroyed tie whole city -
Sopapango llapango and San Thomas have
all suffered to lesser extent, as well rs every
city within a radius of twenty miles.
Fortunately such residents as had not left
the city were living in potors or in the public
plaza. Hence the number of lives lost, though
great, was thereby diminished.
Only two buildings, the Hotel del Plague
and the Government Palace are left standing
The loss is estimated at $l2 000 600, The
aggregate loss of life and wounded is 500.
