NEWS FROM LIEUT.. WILSON
The first news from Lieut.. Wils,n, who
was sent to Auckland to procure asteamer
to take the American sail rs for hone, was
received here by the British mar 'f-war
Rapid, which arrived from New saland
April Is. Lieut.. Wiso notified Admiral
Kimberly that he had not been abb % pro-
cure ste ,mer in Auckland, and wa, going
to Sydpey for that purpose. He also stated
that be had hea d that he Oceanic Seam
ship Com any, whose main office is il San
Francisco had, at request of the navy de-
partmeut, ordered the .teamer Mariposa to
stop at Apia April Is, and take 800 men TO
San Francisco. Lieut. Wilson had called
upon the tents of the Ocsanic compauy
in Auckland, but they knew nothing of TINS
report, and be di not believe the Nariposa
could take away any sailo :, as all her &C.
comm d ttions had been engaged by
passengers going to San Francisco from
Sydney and Auckland.
UNDER A HEAVY EXPENSE.
Admiral Kimberly stated to the Assoc-
ated Press correspondent two weeks ac
that lie knew nothing whatever about the
plans of the navy department for taking
tie men home He sad: II am exc ed
ingly anxious to get tie Trenton and Van-
dalia men to San Francisco as soon as ossi-
IL. They are being kept here now et a
VERY heavy expense. | am raying $l3l a
week the rent of the barracks, and 81 10
per day for the board Of each man. This is
but a small part of the expense. The bi /.
have neen accumulatng every d y, a ID |
have appointed a number of b ards to ex-
anime vari us claims which have been pre-
sented. The whole affair has eau ell me
much annoya !ce, aud | want to get the
men away from here.
AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.
"The infurmation which have received
from Lieut. Wilson amounts TO nothing,
and l think the first knowledge we will
have Of means r sending the men away
will be whel a steamer a riyes from Auck-
land, Sydney or Sll Francisco to take them
off SO far as the Mariposa is como rned, |
don't believe she will be able to
accomodate any of the men, but even If
she cannot op here more than twenty
four hours / can send none but Van ialia
men on her. 1t will take the Trent rs
crew several days to get ready to start. My
iute ition IS to Sc d b tn crew away with
the exception of about 100 men, whom l ali
keep here for the present
WAR SHIPS ON THE WAY.
