BERLIN, March 3O.-A rupture in the
government groups arising from their dis
agreement on the press penal code is Ger.
tain unless the bill is materially modified.
National Liberals declare against the bill,
Conservatives and Free Conservatives are
ready to submit to any repression, though
there are symptoms of reaction even
among them. The semi official press, the
Cologne Gazette, the Marbourg Gazette
and Others who venture to c%ritIcise, admit
that under the law there can be no free
dom OF discussion and say that the Lib
erals are justified in resisting the bill.
These have given rise to reports
that the commission OF the b%undsrauth
has greatly modified the bill. 1t is I'M
likely the proposals are being inspired by
the emperor, with whom absolute regula.
ton of the press is a pet project. His
departure from the usual etiquette of the
court TO attend parliamentary dinners at
Bismarck $ was due to a desire to %concili-
ate the deputies. Even if the leaders are
reduced the bulk of the Nationalists would
not assent to the bill. 1t is probable that
the government will rely on the Center
party, thus causing an evolution in party
grouping.
The first heard of the Samoan disaster
was a telegram from London early this

report true. Inquiry at London appeared

Relief for the Wrecked.

SAN Francisco, March 30.-The latest
information obtainable has been gathered
relative to what vessels can be dispatched
to take the place of those wrecked at
Samoa. AT the navy pay Office it is
stated that the M~onongahela, which left
here Feb. 81 for Samoa, is probably at
her destination, as the time given for the
vessel to reach hat place is between
twenty FIVE and fifty days. The United
States steamer Alert is now at Honolulu,
and will probably sail for the islands i'm
mediately upon receipt of the informa-
ton. She may now be on her way to
Samoa. The steamer Mohican was at
last reports at Panama, and it is believed
she will be sent at once to Samoa. The
steamer Adams is at Mare Island navy
yard undergoing repairs. The vessel
could possibly be gotten ready for sea in
ten days. The Iroquois is also at Mare
Island, but is completely dismantled, and
probably could not be made ready under
four weeks.

There are calls for a draw from some

At 6 O'Clock the men were facing each

Referee Myers said he would allow no

drowned. Prince Jerome Bonaparte was
among those rescued.
Advices received this afternoon say the
Countess of Flanders was cut in two and
her forepart at once sank. The Princess
Henriette took the afterpart in tow and
started for this port, but had proceeded
but a short distance when that portion of
the wreck capsized and went down.
The Countess of Flanders mails were
lost. Afteri the collision her boiler burst,

A SI5O.OOO Fire.

LONG ISLAND CRY, N. Y, March 80.
"A steam still at the Empire oil works
was exploded this afternoon. The fl ,mes
extended to the sheds and immense coal
bins and then spread to the Long Island
foundry, the Suter ink works and the
New York iron and chemical works, Geo.
Il. Bulwer's storage shed and A. H.
Hewes' fowerpot warehouse. More than
an acre OF ground was burned over. The
loss is estimated at 800, 900. The fire is
still burning.
Jas. Dolan was instantly killed by a
large quantity OF blazing oil falling upon
him. His charred remains were found
an hour later, when the fire had been
sufficiently controlled to allow the search
ing party to approach. The losses will
amount to $3.50, 900.

OF war caused intense excitement.
The escape of the English man of war
CalIope Is accounted for in shipping circles
in two ways, either she was lying in the
outer berth and consequently had more
time to get up steam and leave the har
Dor, or having more experience with these
storms, the British commander got up
steam as soon as he saw the storm gather
ing and put to sea before the storm
reached the harbor.
From accounts received by vessels ar
irving during the past two weeks it would
seem the wind and rain storms in the
South Pacific ocean have been exception
ally severe and accompanied by electrical
disturbance.
There is hardly any anchorage in Apia
harbor," said Capt. Leary OF the United
States steamship Adams, which recently
returned from Samoa. land it is a very
difficult matter to keep vessels off the
shore in ordinary weather. The anchors
keep dragging and when | was there |
found it necessary to carry my anchor
out every morning to keep the vessel from
going ashore"
From reports received it would appear
the commanders were warned of the
approaching storm four days prior to its
arrival, and it Is TRANCE they would re.
main anchored in a harbor surrounded by
reefs and wholly unprotected when by
going out and around the side of the
island, a distance of about forty miles,
they would be safe from any gale or hurri-
cane.
The loss of the paymaster and clerk
with Capt. Schoonmaker of the Vandalia
is considered due to the observance of a
naval rule that a captain should always be
the last to leave his ship, and the pay
master and clerk should not leave until
Just before the captain. The officers and
crew of the Vandalia were well known in
San Francisco and there were many
touching scenes at the United States pay
office when the list of the names of the
dead was displayed, as many persons liv-
ing in this city had friends or relations on
board the wrecked vessels.

woIdey's Accusers Fail to Show Up

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The latest
charges against Lewis Wolfoy, who has
been once confirmed governor of Arizona,
but now held up by a motion to c
slider, are said to relate to his services as
internal revenue agent in Louisiana. They
are to the effect that it is reported that he
took money from distillers to enable them
to continue to do business in violation of
the law. Mr.. Wolfey says the report
doubtless was originated by someone at

~tilleries in Louisiana. J. w. Elder was

LONDON, March 30. The annual boat

Time, 20:I4.
A large crowd witnessed the race. A
light breeze was blowing, but the water
was smooth. The exact start was made
at Ills. Cambridge at once took the
lead, and at Hammersmith bridge, one
and three-fourths miles from the starting
point. was a length ahead, both crews
rowing well. At this time a heavy rair
was falling. The Oxford crew shortly
afterward became confused and steered
badly, splashing some. and almost col
lapsed. Near Barnes bridge, five fur
longs from the finish, oxford made q
final squirt, but failed to reach the Cam,
bridge boat, the crew OF which was row
ing well, and won by four lengths.

The Harbor of Apia.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Capt. Sci
bridge, u. s. N, was found at the navy
department this morning studying over
the chart of the harbor of Apia, which
he visited several years ago. He said
while it was a very bad harbor it was the
best on the island of Upola. Like all OF
Pacific island harbors, that of Apia is
formed by n coral reef eDcircling the
island at a short distance from shore.
The anchoring space available far men-of-
war is contracted, being about 1000 feet
wide at the mouth of the harbOr. The
bottom is sandy, affOrding but slight hold
for an anchor, and the harbor is exposed
on the north.
On each side of the entrance arc cora
reefs, which are a wash at high water and
are surrounded by shoals. The depth OF
water ranged from four to eight fathoms,
pretty deep water being found close in
shore, which would enable a ship to get
close in. Hurricanes or cyclones at Apia
are usually from the southwest and they
tend to force vessels on ruEgy reels or
rough shores. The last hurricane occur
red at Apia just six years ago. Forum
ately no men of war were in the harbor,
out every meicuhnIinan was uTlVen or
wrecked. Houses were destroyed and
palm trees %uprooted.
Lieut.. Edward Il. Hayden (retired) in
charge OF the meteorological division of
the photographic office, is regarded as
quite an authority on the subject of ma
rine storms. He says that cyclone storms
are a feature of the Southern Pacific
regions. They have a motion exactly the
reverse of those occurring in the north
ern hemisphere, but otherwise they have
about the same characteristics. Their
path is parabolic and they occur several
times a year in some years. 1t again hap
pens that two or three seasons go by with
out a storm. Experienced seanien can de-
tect the approach of such a storm in the
West Indies, but the same rule might not
hold good IN the Pacific waters,
Admiral Kimberly's dispatch is taken
to Indicate that he has already mailed an
account Of the wreck. By sharp work it
may have been possible fer him to have
