from going on the reefs a second
time. Once more she started, and again
broke down, and had to return to Apia.
The Admiral was now at white heat, and
lost no time in stripping Commander
Muilan of his command of the snip. He
then ordered both ships 10 San Francisco.
The coal of the Alert gave out and the
poor old Nipsic had to be left at Tanning
island until the Alert could go north and
get more coal. When this became known
the Department decided to send new
screw for the vessel. and fortunately one
was found at Mare Island.
Over $4,000 has been spent for coal
alone. The ship is now halt way home.
1t seems strange that such an order
should have been given, especially in the
face OF the protests of the two command
ing officers The Alert could not carry
coal enough 10 steam that distance.

WASHINGTON, July 14th.-The statement
published here to-day that Blaine would
soon tender his resignation as Secretary of
State and John 4. Kasson would be an
pointed instead, is put down as Hot
weather news" here. Secretary Rusk of
the Agricultural Department, who spends
much of his time in chair In front of the
California Associated Press office stated
positively that Secretary Blaine's health
was much better to-day than it had been at
any time since he entered the Cabinet: that
bis resignation had never been spoken of to
the Cabinet; that the President had no
knowledge of any determination to resign,
The agent of the California Associated
Press IS given to understand upon authority
which he knows 10 be nearest to Secretary
Blaine that he has outlined an American
policy which is approved fully by Harri-
son, and that he will not leave the Cabinet
until that is accomplished.
The Secretary has reason to be and is
considerably disappointed in the way his
suggestions OF appointments have been re-
celyed by the President, and it is known
that the Presidents anxiety to provide for
bis friends has inferfered somewhat with
the diplomatic policy of the State Depart
ment, but 1t has led to no hard feelings
and Secretary Blaine has in each case most
gracefully given way.
Inc Secretary has, in truth before him
some months work in preparation for the
coming North, South and Central Ameri-
can Congress, and he will probably not ap-
pear at the Cabinet meeting before Septem-
ber.

IN America there was practically no stand

possible. The triumph of Boulanger must

@NNPOA' III washington that
Blaine viii Leave the Cabinet.
New YORK, July 14th.-The Herald this
morning prints the following from Wash
lngton of July 18th The report is current
tonight among diplomatic and official
people that Secretary Blaine has rendered
his resignation, TO take effect ou September
lst next. The reasons given for this step
is that the duties of the State Department
are so exacting that Mr. Blaine's health,
which has not been robust lately, has been
undermined, and that by the advice of his
physician he has concluded to take much
needed rest.
1t is also stated that it is not unlikely
that he may be sent abroad. John A. Kas-
son, who was one of the Commissioners to
Berlin to negotiate the Samoan treaty, is
spoken of as the successor to Mr. Blaine.
Just before the President left for Deer
Park he said that further action in regard
to changes in the diplomatic and consular
services would be deferred for at least two
months, and this would seem to explain
the anticipated changes.
