ADDITIONAL AOVICES.

Germans and Americans Buried Together
Only About ne-Fourth of the Bodies
Recovered.
SAN Francisco, CAL, April 15.-Addi-
tional Samoan advices say the admiral
commanding the American fleet was the
last to leave the Trenton, his flag ship.
Admiral Kimberly said he considered
faulty construction of the Trenton's
hawse pipes as indirectly the cause of
her wreck. Within few days after the
storm a condition of things resembling
order had been brought about. The ma
rines and Mataafa's police had been &C
lively at work in this direction. The
safes of the Trenton and Vandalia had
been recovered, together with a consid-
cradle quantity of other property from
the wrecked vessels.
The Germans and Americans held me-
mortal services at different dates for the
dead. At the German service Admiral
Kimberly and other American officers
attended. Only about one-fourth of the
bodies have been recovered. Some of
these were so badly mutilated it was diff
ficult to identify them, or even their ma
tionality, and it was finally determined
to bury all at one spot together. The
interments were made as speedily as
possible, owing to the extremely hot
weather. The bodies of some of the lost
officers had not been recovered at last
accounts: or if they came ashore they
were so mutilated or decomposed that
they were not positively identified.

Legitime Getting the Insurgents Under
Control-A Decisive Battle.
NEW YORK, April 17.-Mr. Charles Pres
ton, son of the Haytien minister, who
represents Legitime's government and
who has just returned from that turbu-
lent republic, was called upon by rep
resentative of the United Press. He de-
clared that Legitime was rapidly putting
down the rebels under Hippolyte and by
way Of confederation, handed the United
Press man a copy of the Moniteur, pub
lished in Port au Prince, dated April 4th,
which contained the following from the
seat of war:
General st. Fleu Paul, of Legitime's
army, has captured PArtibonite and is
threatening Gonaives and st. Marc.
Seven hundred refugees have come to
his army for protection"
The paper also contains an account of
the capture of Hippolyte's stronghold,
Fort Dessalines. The account states that
the attack was made at 9 o'clock in the
morning, and the fighting lasted until
o'clock, at which time Hippolyte's forces
vacated the position. Among the killed
was General Bayard, the veteran COM
mander of the Place Grand Salines. The
tftal number killed was a and wounded
1872; 103 persons were taken. This battle
is regarded as a decisive one.

Illusions Regarding the
Boomers Land.
A Residence Of q Year There Win

and Small Fortunes.
Neither Troops Nor United States
Courts VIII Be Able to Prevent
Bloodshed In Its Settlement.

WASHINGTON, April ia letter has
been received here from Lieut.. John M.
Carson, Jr., Fifth United States Cavalry,
who has been serving in Oklahoma with
his regiment for the past four years.
Being familiar with its topography, eli
mate and resources, and being free from
prejudice his observations are specially
valuable and will be found interesting
to those who are watching events is
Oklahoma. The lieutenant says:
81 fear that neither troops nor United
States courts will prevent bloodshed in
the settlement Of Oklahoma. The old
boomers have raised wind that prom
Uses to become a whirlwind and antici-
pating that this cannot be controlled are
anxious about their chances for securing
land. The country has been 80 tremend-
ously doomed and people have thereby
been 30 far misled by inaccurate state
ments, that comparatively few have any
idea of what Oklahoma really is. Per-
haps five-sixths OF the people regard
Oklahoma as near approach to the Gar
den Of Eden where 1t is simply necessary
10 cast seed over the ground in order to
reap bountiful crops, and that they can
sit under vines and fig trees, 80 to speak,
in the enjoyment Of an equable and
magnificent climate. A residence Of
twelve months in Oklahoma will COM
pletely dispel this illusion, des-
troy many carefully nourished hopes
and wipe out many small fortunes,
especially should the settlers experience
one of our cold winters, followed by a
long, dry, hot summer, such as we had
in 1885 and 1885. AS the amount of land
to be opened to settlers is imited-about
1900, 900 acres, - the chances for getting
any of it will vary inversely with the
number of people who want it. The old
boomers fully realize this and see the
chances for securing a piece of good
land daily lessening. OF the 1 800, 900
acres included In the presidents procla-
nation, not more than ,000, 900 are what
can be properly designated as good farm
land. A knowledge of these facts is pro-
ducing a state of alarm among the old
boomers, and has made some of them
desperate. They are forming, / hear,
for mutual protection and to keep of
"outsiders." This is what may lead to
bloodshed, for there will very probably
be men among the Outsiders" jast as
determined and just as well prepared TO
take care Of themselves as the old agita-
tors. In conclusion the lieutenant sug-
gests that IL it is the intention to open
the remainder of the Creek and Seminole
purchases, and the Cherokee strip, the
| sooner it is done the better. He also
says that the commissioners appointed to
treat with the Indians cannot act toe
promptly and expeditiously.

No Cause for CeDsure.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-The Chron-
icle, commenting on the details of the
wreck of the war ships at Apia, says:
This account settles all doubt in regard
to the responsibility for the disaster. 1t
proves that the American and German
commanders did everything that good
good seamanship could do to save their
vessels, and that the escape of the Brit
ish ship Calliope was owing to the
strength of her engines. American Of
ficers proved their claim to superior
seamanship and the saving of the crews
of the Trenton and Nipsic was due to
the skillful handling of the vessels.
