Probable Lake Disaster.
FEARS THAT TIE BARGE BRITAIN HAS BEEN


CHICAGO, Dec. A dispatch from Sargatuck
last night stated that cabin door and pail
had washed ashore the and "A 81 IA quantity Of
lumber. The pail WAS marked IL &. Britain,
W aich Is the name OF a steam barge which plies
between this port and White Lake. The Brit
tain left Chicago Tor White Lake AZ O'Clock
"Wednesday evening Laden with $3.50 bushels
of corn, and she took her course directly ior the
east shore and Ii is supposed made straight for
her destination. The wind at the time WAS
biowing light gale from the southwest, hut
during the night it shifted To the isori IL
east and freshened into a genuine
fu gale. Hence il il supposed
that the Britain WAS driven of her course
southwark to Saugatuck. 1t Is possible that the
cabin door and pail came from SOME other
steamer, or thai the Britain LOST the N during
s .me previous gale, but il would seem that they
would have blown ashore q long lime ago. The
impression prevails 1t Saugatuck that the Brit
tain or some other steam barge has founuesed.off
that port, and as soon the wind subsioesia
thorough search will be made Tor Nfecisage by
which the unfortunate vessel can he idenIiLed.
The Britain was owned by Covel d Co.. oil

was of LAT tons register, and Was valued at
$4,000.

HIS REPORT AMENDED.
Gen. HHzen's Criticisms or Lieut.. Gar.
I1ngtOn withdraw - The 'Reason
why.

The fact that General Hazen has issued an
amended. copy Of his annual report. differing
from that originally submitted to the Secretary
OF War, has created no little interest in army
circles. In his original report the chief signal
officer quotes at length from the report of Lieut.
ureeiy, ana then criticises severely
the course pursued by Lieutenant
WARRINGTON on the Proteus expedition.
particularly as regards the false hopes of relief
extended by the record left by Lieut.. CARING.
ton, and the alleged modification 0f the record
ieit oy Gariington as to the cache on Littieton
isiand: The original record simply referred to
"a cache on I.ittieton Island, - which was natur-
ally supposed to be a large one while in the
copy submitted to the Proteus court 1t was re-
ierred to as q cache Of only 1.-TWO hundred and
fifty aiions."
In the amended report the chief signal Officers
printed, received quite large distribution,
seven or eight hundred copies have been issued
before 1t was amended. The amended copy
OF the chief signal officer, almost an entire
blank. 1t is learned that the amended report
Is the one that has been sent to the public
printer, and will be regarded as the official re-
port
GEN. HAzEN WOULD NOT SAY WHY.
A STAR reporter asked Gen. Hazen to-day
about the matter, but he declined to say any
thing further than that the report had been
amended. The reasons he said IL given would
only be misconstrued and warped by those i'm.
imicai TO him. He finally aid, however. that
Lieut.. Darlington being no longer connected
with the signal service, it was only proper that
the matter referred to should be omitted.
THE REAL REASON,
Iii learned, however, that the real reason
for amending the report was an intimatfon
from the Secretary of War that the objection
able portion should be culled from it, which
fact accounts for the amended report being re-
garded as the official document. 1t is known
that Lieut.. Darlington wrote to the War de.
partment asking protection from such an
attack, which no doubt was the cause Of the
action OF the Secretary of War.
