AUCKLAND, March 29-Dispetches
from Samoa state that the American
men.of war, Trenton, Nandalia and Nip.
sic, and the German nlen.of.war Adler,
Olga and Elber, were driven on a reef
during violent storm and totally wreck.
ed. Ofthe American crews four officers
and forty six men were drowned, and OF
the German crews nine officers and eigh-
ty.seven mon lost their lives.
Later ad7ices received regarding the
hurricane which devastated Samoa and
wrecked a number Of German and Ameri.
can war ships state that the storm swept
the island on the 18th inst. All the war
ships attempted to put to sea, but only
the English steamer Calliope succeeded
in getting out. The merchant vessels
suffered severely. The bark, Peter God.
efrey, one other bark, and seven coasters
were wrecked, and four persons were
drowned. The Calliope sailed for Sgd
ney. The Peter Godefrey was a German
bark. She has arrived at Samoa from
Sydney.
LONDON, March Exhibitions par.
ticulars of the disastrous storm at Apis
have just been received. A hurricane
burst upon the harbor suddenly. The
German man of.war Eber was the first
vessel to drag her anchor. She became
unmanageable and was driven helplessly
on the reef which runs around the harbor.
She struck broadside on at o'clock in
the morning. The shock caused her to
lureh and to stagger back and she sank
in moment in deep water. Most of her
men were under matches and scarcely a
soul Of them escaped.
The German war ship Adler was the
next to succumb. She was lifted bodily
by a gigantic wave and cast on her beam
ends on the reef. A terrible struggle for
life ensued among the officers and sailors.
Many plunged into the raging surf and
struck out, some reaching the shore in
safety. Others clung to the rigging until
the masts fell. Of those in the rigging
only two gained shore. The captain Of the
Adler and several other officers were
saved.
Meantime the United States steamer
Nipsic had been dragging her anchors and
drifting toward shore. The captain,
however, managed to keep control and
ran her on sand bank. The boats
we're Immediately lowered, and the whole
company were saved with the exception
of six men. These were drowned by the
capsizing of q boat.
The United States steamer Vandaha
was carried before the gale right upon
the reef. She struck with terrible
shock, hurting Capt. Sehoonmaker against
Gatling gun, and he felled stunned.
Before he could recover great wave
swept the deck and he was washed away
with others into the sea. The vessel
sank fifty yards from the Nipsic Sever
al of the officers and men were washed
overheard and drowned. Others perish
ed while making desperate efforts to swim
to shore. Some remained for hours in
the rigging, but the heavy and swift
succeeding waves dashiDg over them,
carried them off one by one.

Election Judges Of White River Precinct,

Court all day today The testimony Of
about 100 negroes and ono white man was
heard when court adjourned.
The Federal Grand Jury adjourned TO-
day until Monday without returning any
more indictments. All OF the Conway
County witnesses who have been In at
tendance upon the Grand Jury were en-
cused and allowed TO 70 home 60 remain
IL was thought that these Witnesses, who
are said 10 have gone from Morrilion TO
Plummervilo ON the night the balloi-box
was stolen, would unfold sufficient facts TO
the Jury 20 found indictments against tho
parties who committed the crime. The
present status Of anairs would indicate
otherwise.

statement before the Grand Jury In this
connection. Is yet In custody. Unless
something develops early next week tho
entire matter will DO considered as with.
out any real substance, rs the United
States Attorney today informed the court
that the Petit Jury would not be needed
longer which, Of course, means that all In

can be tried within a weeks time. Argu-
ment for new trial In the Roid and Lucas
