CAPTAIN RAMSEY SURPRISED.
New YORK, April AT the Brook
lyn navy yard, Captain Ramsey, com

prise that the English at Samoa |
should know enough to go to sea and |
ride out the gale, while tho Germans |
and Americans did not do so. The |
ships reported lost were all steamers |
and all have good anchors. It seems |
more than strange they should all go |
on the reefs when they could have |
gone ont to sea to ride ont the |
gale. If not aware Of the coming
tidal wave, Of course they could DO !
nothing.

BOULANGEE SAYS TE Is G2;EOCEET.
PARIS, April Boulangar says he
has never committed an illegal act;
he had done everything openly.
Therefore the prosecution would only
result in sympathy for a martyr Had
he committed the slightest illegality,
he admits that the case against him
would be made, but he defes all the
lawyers in the world to find anything
against him. Therefore the rumcred
action against him Would only mean
further triumph FOR the national
party.
