THE HUNTER FAMILY LOST IN THE
WILLIE DU HAVRE.

From the New Bedford Herald, Dec. 81
Captain Charles Hunter his wife and one daugh-
ter, Caroline lost In the Vile du Havre calamity,
were prominent residents Of Newport. Captain
Hunter during the war OF the rebellion while in
command OF a man-of-war, chased and captured
the blockade runner Isabella This act was offen-
sve to Spain, and she demanded his dismissal as
the capture was made in Spanish waters. Our
government reluctantly complied with the demand,
and he renamed out Of service until the close OF
the rebellion. wnen, by unanimous vote OF Con-
gress, he was relnstated, and his commission
dated back to the date of his dismissal. He was
son of the Hon. William Hunter, eminent as an IN
ternatlOnal lawyer, and at one time Minister TO
Brazil. General Van Zandt, Of Newport, has in mis-
possession letter rom Admiral Farragut, speak
ing OF Captain Hunter in the highest terms, and
closing with the remark that II he were to select
Meet, he knew OF no man he would rather have to
command 1t than Captain Hunter. Mrs. Hunter
was the only daughter OF the late William Il. Rotch
OF this city.
Among the lost in the steamer Vile du Havre
was Miss LIZZIE w. Putnam, OF New \ ork, who mad
attained much excellence as an Oil painter, and
was going abroad to perfect herself In her chosen
art. She was near relative OF Mrs. Alonzo Il
Quint, ana known to many people in this city.

the remark reported to have emanated from one OF
the haroornassers, that ne was no. 10 pe beileveu
under oaGn.
THE coMpANY's LOSS.
Tne loss OF the Vile du Hayre Is all the more Sc
rlous to the Transatlantic Company at this time, az
they had Just completed arrangements TO send
steamer from this port every week. The Ameri-
que. new steamer about the same size as the Eu-
rope and little smaller than the Vile du Havre,
VIII DC ready ior sea early next year, and announcer
steamer Of equal dimensions Ia now in course 0i
construction. The Lafayette, which was burned
and IL now running between Brest and Aspn vail.
Tne viiie du Hayre was insured for about TWO
thirds ner value In variety Of companies, onenv
Parlslan ones, the remaining risk being taken oy
the company which owns her. This system OF
partial insurance u much in vogue with corpora
taking portion OF the risk they save premiums
saffcient IN few voyages TO enable them TO sus-
tam Ihs obstruction OF at least one ne vessel per
selves. The accident TO the Vile du HavTe viii
not interfere with the continuance OF the regular
fOrtnightiy trips OF the vessels belonging TO the
Iransatlantlque Company's line.
WHERE Is TIE LOCH EARN
In conversation with Mr.. Henderson, the
agent OF the ship Loch Earn, HERALD reporter
learned that gentieman's opinion or the ship
and the damage she had probably sustained His
opinion was, OF course, based on the information
he received through the papers. He said that from
wnaf he knew OF the construction and strength or
the ship, It appeared to him impossible that she
could have gone down or have been In any way
materially damaged. "lf the collision" he said
happened as reported, all the advantages, II
there be any such IN collision. were on the side OF
the salier, as her bows said to have hit the
Vile du Havre amidships.n Mr. Henderson further
said -
"The Loch Earn must have sustained some
damage, but as have already stated, do not con-
sder IL OF such nature as to place her IN great
danger The despatch you show me l nave seen
and read; but do not think the statement con-
tuned In it that the Loeb Earn has put about for
Queenstown is at all true, and ! have AZ much
reason and foundation for what say az those who
sent the despatch. 1t Is only conjecture for no
one knows what has been done with the vessel as
she has not been spoken since the accident
occurred. She may on account OF the occurrence
be q little longer in making the passage than she
might otherwise have been; for with damaged
bow she Will be unable TO sail before the wind"
Further than that which is above stated Mr.
Henderson could say nothing regarding the ship,
he having received no intelligence OF her.

rrhe naval demonstration which Germany IL pre-

sion OF very high handed and summary action on
the part OF Spanish naval officer againt Prussian
merchant trading vessels or the Philippines We
reported Just lately the fact Of the seizure or the
German trading vessels Maria Louisa and Gazelle
by a Spanish man-of-war or Soolo0. The vessels
were brought to Manila. The crew Of the Gazelle
were liberated. The Captain and supercargo OF
the Marta Louisa managed to escape, and the Span
ards declared that they would be treated as spies
If caught outside the respective consulateS.' The
supercargo claimed the protection OF the British
Consul and the Captain that OF Germany. He
stated that the vessels were 10 miles Off Sooloo
when captured, and that according to law, the
blockade extended only nine miles; and. further,
that the Spanish authorities had not declared any
blockade.-ED HERALD.l

were inefficient. the men were washed away
from the wheel and the vessel was placed in
such dire extremity that the life RATS were
cleared away and life preservers given out to

which brought about these results; the evil
