600 more gold than it imported in the
eleven months ending with November,

ARRIVAL OF THE ONTARIO.
A Severe Experience Of the Dominion
Liner.

Yesterday afternoon, at AIS o'clock, the
nion Line, arrived at her dock in this city. A
reporter for the PRESS boarded the steamer
Immediately upon arrival. and learned from
the captain the particulars of one Of the
hardest trips he has ever made across the
Atlantic.
The Ontario left Bristol, England, for Port
land January 1lth. She carried 70 passen-
gers, but had aboard about thousand tons
of freight. The day she left Bristol was
fine but in the Irish Channel there was
heavy sea, without wind, that betokenea re.
markably rough weather ahead. 1t was a
condition of things that had never been
noticed in other voyages. Strong winds
were next encountered increasing in
violence, until the 14th inst, when the glass
fell five inches in the nj ght, and continued
falling the next day with southwest and
northwest gales, accompanied by snow
and hail squalls. On the 18th inst,
during strong gales and heavy sea
the wind backed into the south, and then
blew from the north, with vivid lightning
and peals Of thunder The gale increased
III NlUicuCo until d pCilcCe HuliiCduo Was
pfowins ut a. M. on the IoJn, the uaro meter
falling from 20 so to $3.50 and then the glass
began to rise. With the rise the hurricane
appeared to increase, If that were possible.
With change Of wind terribly confused
sea was encountered. A tremendous wave
caught the ship on the bow, tore the forward
lookout bridge away, wrenched a great iron
water-closet from the deck, and threw it
upon solid iron winch crushing both as if
there were egg shells. As the captain ex-
pressed it, ''it made scrap-iron of them" 1t
was remarkable escape for several Of the
men. A man had left the lookout bridge
Just before the wave struck it. Several of
the crew were banged about but their in
juries were not serious.
On the 2lst the weather moderated little,
but the wind continued to blow strong from
the northwest. At the westward of 400 the
weather was more favorable but the glass
was very low for northwest wind. Field
ice was encountered way up in 47o west, and
461o north, and also great icebergs. Owing
to the ice the ship had to go south Of Sable Isl,
and. She saw feld-iceon the 23d and steered
southwest for seven hours. On that day two
steamers were seen in company but they
could not be made out. Capt. Couch had
seen nothing of the missing National liDeI
Erin. The captain was able to leave his
chart room to sleep In his own state room
only one night Of the voyage. For the mOSi
of the trip he didn't have his clothes OF.

CAPTAIN FOSTER IN THE CALAB0OSE
Instead Of Winning Glory In a Fight
With Ia Papa.
He Had Orders to Burn Powder In

Rumors In New York coneernIno
happenings in Colombia.

NEW YORK, January 2S.-Captain Foster.
commanding the American brigantine George
w. Whitford, did not get chance to give
battle to the Colombian gunboat La Papa, as
l.. Schepp, the Whitford's owner here, in
structed him to do If the vessel was arbitra-
rlly interfered with. A report was current
yesterday that when the captain went ashore
at Colon on the brigantine's arrival there, on
January 14th, he was uneeremoniously ar
rested and hurried to the ealaboose, or city
jail, where he was confined for two days,
during which time the vessel was searched
for arms. The crew, ignorant Of Captain
Fosters arrest, submitted TO II. A number
OF guns, which formed part Of the cargo,and
which were intended for trading purposes
with the San Bias Indians, were found.
Wnether or not they were taken Is not def
nitely known. The vessel Is still at Colon
It's said, and Captain Foster has notified
the owner OF the action OF the Colon author
tiles.
The George w. Whitford was cleared from
this portsfor Colon, December %, by COlOm-
bian Consul General Calderon Of this city,
with the distinct understanding that she was
to go to San Bias on trading voyage after
obtaining the necessary license at Colon.
Captain Foster carried with him a certificate
to that effect, and signed by the consul. 1t
was addressed ITO the Colombian govern
ment. and to the commander Of the gunbOat
La Papa, In particular" This paper stated
under whose authority the vessel was cleared
and for what purpose, and requested that
she be not m0lested. The captain was In
structed to obey the instructions ia the GER
tlhcate. But If, after obeying the law In
every particular, La Papa molested him
Capt. Foster was instructed to fight for the
preservation Of his vessel \
The Colombian government claimed that.
Carthagena. instead Of Colon, was the port
OF entry for San Bias but the Colombian
consul here insisted that he knew no such
law, and that II 1t existed 1t must be Of re-
cent origin. He eabled to his government

ceived reply that vessels must 20 TO Car
