Ielegraphic communication has been 70.
opened with Port Clyde and further intelli-
gehce from the wrecked steamer comes that
way. Capt. Ingrsham has not vet reached
fockland, but remains at Port CLYDE within
sight OF the wreck. He reports that the
steamers position has not materially changed
from last night, excepting that she is slightly
more sunken and gradually disappearing un-
oer the water Last nights heavy sea has
cleaned out the freight and il lies scattered
aiong the adjacent shores, being gathered in
oy fishermen living near. The exposed po-
sition of the wreck-this point being proba-
bly, the worst on the Maine coast rendered
the employment of wrecking craft impossi-
ole, so the freight had to be left to the mercy
OF the waves. Supt Littlefield of the Bos-
ton Bangor Steamship Co. arrived from
Boston this noon. He will visit the scene OF
the disaster in the steamer Rockland, which
returned tonight having delivered the rescued
passengers at their several up-river landings
Mr.. Llttlefeld says that the Cambridge was
valued at $4,000, insured for $50. 900.
The lost freight, he says, was valuable, lust
what value it is impossible now to estimate,
but the reported estimate, $500 was far
too great The theory that the steamers
compass was affected by several tons of hard
ware stored on the deck beneath is disposed
of by an authorthentive statement that that
freight was slowed aft. Had the steamer
gone half her width either way she would
have cleared the ledge.

A COMPROMISE.
The Striking Bath Truckmen Commence
to Haul Ice at a Rise of Five Cents
Per Ton.
BATH, Feb. IL.

o. II. Smiley, who supplies ice from Lily
Pond for Bath consumption, has been de-
layed several days in housing his crop by the
action of the teamsters who refused to haul
for less than forty cents a ton. Thirty was
all that Smiley was willing to pay and he
could get but few teams at his figures. The
distance from the pond to the house is one
mile. Last year the service was done for
twenty-five cents, but the teamsters claim
that this was insufficient. The soft weather
was threatening and the cheap teams proving
unsatisfactory compromise has been effected
and the men have gone to work at thirty five
cents.
