the safety OF the u. S. war steamer
Kansas, which left New York for San
tiago de Cuba on the morning Of Nov.
IA. No news of her arrival at the Gu
ban port has yet been received and it
is stated that she has not been heard
OF since her departure. The Juniatta
departed from New York, Novem mber
l9h-fve days after the Kansas-and
srrived at Santiago on the 2Gth ult.
This makes the Kansas to-day, twen-
ty days out or thirteen days longer
than the Juuiatta's time. She was
considered very sea-worthy, and was
out in the hard gales OF the 18th and
18Th OF November.
