ceive corroboratiye news. Crowds OF people
have gone TO the reported find, and a
steamer left San Diego day before yester-
day with many miners on board. II this
turns out TO be another; "wind mine," San
Diego should be branded as a chronic liar.

RUMoRED FIGHT AT sAmo,

Heported Sinking of the American Man.ot-
- war-But the Story Discredited,
SAN FRAScIsco.- March. S.-Great promi.
nence is given by the papers to a rumor
that an American man-of-war was sunk i,
sanoanawatsrs in the fight with the Ger.
man corvette Olga. No credence is given
to- the .pepsst.-Ths~s teamship Alameda
which left here for Australia, February o
touched at Tutuila, the southern island Of
the Samoan group, February 25, and ar.
lived at Auckland March 8. Had any On.
aacement occurred at Apia, she would prob.
abIy a eiearned the fact at Tutuila, And
carried the news to Auckland, whence the
fact would have been cabled.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The story OF tho
engagement between the German man.oi.
war Olga and an American inan.of-war, in
the harbor Of Apia, is generally discredited
at the navy department. No information
mon the subject has been received at the
departunent of state. 1t was said that
tho news of an event Of such Importance
would surely reach the Unitel States at
laas of as soon as the German sea.cosst
Nav yoRg, March S.-No credence ia

story cabled from Dreslau to the Herald"
about a fight between American and Ger.
man men-of-war. Even the Herald"
characterized it as sensational.
rHr VESSELS AND GUNS OF THE AMERICAN
49,. s. FLEET.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Nipsic, which
is supposed to be the American vessel re.
| ferred to in the German publication, is
rated as a wooden vessel OF the third class,
| with six guns. The Vandaiia and Tren.
ton. which have doubtless reached Sa.
moa by this time, are also wooden
vessels carrying eight and ten guns, respec.
lively, as their main batteries. Most Of
| these guns are s~mooth-bore, but naval
officers say that at short range and against
unarmored vessels such as the German
| boats now in Samoa waters are, these
canon are just as effective us rifled ord.
nance.
Unless the German guu-boats have also
been reinforced, the American fleet now at
Apia is regarded as superior in offensive
power as it's vessels are fresh from repairs,
and the crews are strong in numbers.

The oldest Timber.

Probably the Oldest timber in the world,
which has been subjected to the use of man,
is thatfound in the ancient temple OF Egypt,
in connection with stone work, which is
known to be at least four thousand years
old. This, the only wood used in the cou-
struction Of the temple. is in the form of
ties. holding the end OF one stone to another.
When two blocks were laid in place an ex.
cavation about an inch deep was made ia
each block, in which a tie, shaped like an
hourglass, was driven. 1t is, therefore, very
difficult to force a stone from it's position.
The ties appear to have been of the tim
arisk or shittim wood, of which the ark was
constructed.
