UNCERTAINTY OF THE SITUATION.
LONDON, Dec. 15-In the house of
commons, Lord Randolph Churchill
asked whether the reports of the cap
ture Of Emin Pasha and Stanley were
true, and whether the government
would negotiate with Osman Digma
for the release of the Europeans
in Kartoum before beginning hostili-
ties. Goshen, acting government
leader, replied that the information
received by the goverpment was so
uncertain as to makeit impossible to
suspend operations for. the relief of
Suakim during the many weeks that
would elapse before the, fate of the
explorers could be ascertained.
John Morley pressed disagreement
to suspend operations at Suakim :un-
til Monday. -
;-Goshen~repliea that the request
could not be complied with, but be
promised that no Instructions would
be given to hurry operations
Morley-May / ask then, that the
government will do the best they can
to prevent the commencement Of hos
tilities without tying the hands of
the military authorities?
Goshen-I cannot -,tie the hands
of the. military authorities. I shall

SUPPLIES FOR HAYTI.
NEW YORK, Dec. .15.-The Atlantic
line steamer Andes sailed to-day for
Port au Prince. It is rumored that
she carries several hundred thousand
ball cartridges for the Haytien gov
ernment; but this could not be Off
cially verified. From another source
it is learned that in addition to the
cartridges, she carried one thousand
Winchester and Remington rifles.
Minister Preston this morning re-
fused to affirm or deny the report to
the effect that the crew were under
contract with him to take possession
Of the seized steamer Haytien Re
public which has arrived at Kings
ton. The report, however, is cred
tied in shipping circles, and looked
upon as wise movement of the
Haytien minister. 1t is agreed that
this crew will at once be sent to Port
au Prince and placed Immediately on
the Haytien Republic, and the ves-
sci headed for New York, where she
will arrive before the GaleaG and
Yontic reach Hayti.

There is great effort made by par.
ties interested to prove that the
wreck of the Yaquina Bay was due
to gross carelessness on the part OF
those engaged in taking her in, and
not to the dangerous character Of the
port of Yaquina. But whatever ex.
cuses may be offered, the fact that
the history OF the port is one Of dis.
aster to the finest steamers designed
especially for that harbor, does not
promise very bright future for the
port of Yaquina. Without wish to
disparage other ports, it is fair to say
that the only safe hsrbor on the north
west coast is the Columbia river.

HE MAY ACCEPT THE CALL.
DR.. Bowman Non-Committal About
His Going to Charleston.

DR.. Bowman Non-Committal About
His Going to Charleston.
The Charleston people are making a very
strong pull to get Rev. DR.. Bowman to ac-
cept the call published in the MORNING
NEWS, judging from the action of the com
mittee on its return to Charleston.
A MORNING NEWS reporter sounded DR..
Bowman yesterday to learn just what the
committee had offered him, but he was nom
committal beyond the statement that he
had answered the chairman by letter telling
him that the committee had offered him too
much. So much, he went on to explain,
that he doubted their ability to pay
without making sacrlfices He
stated that he had said as much in his COM
munication to the committee, and had sug-
ge,ted that they think over the matter con
suit business men and agree on a figure
which they could pay without making any
sacrifice or cripple them in the healthful
financial management of church affairs
Dr. Bowman was asked If he intended to
accept the call. He replied that there are
some things which he did not feel at liberty
to discuss, and that he did not want TO see
fiad their way into the public prints. He
said this, however: 81 can see where Ger
tam exigencies might intervene which
would make it easy TOR me to accept the
call" 1t is but just to DR.. Bowman to say
that it is not the matter of salary, or ext
gencies which are likely to arise at the
Charleston end of the line.
