Vessels at Gayhead.
rBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, March 21.-In en- official re-
port to the Navy Department on the con-
dition of the United States steamer ia
lena and the Government tug Nina, which
were wrecked near Gayhead, Mass, last
SATURDAY., Lieutenant-C Commander Bickneu
saws that the Galena does not seem 20 open
any more. Three or, four butts of spar
deck planking are separated On inch be-
tween the smoke-stack and the mainmast.
The cabin furniture was destroyed and
the steam.cutter and two other cutters
were broken mp. The rudder and rudder-
post were washed away and the two an
chors were cut loose.
Commander Bicknell says some water
flows from the ship az the tide falls. The
berth-deck was flooded from aft to engine:
room, and the after-forehold was full OF
water. Since the casualty beach-watch
has been maintained to collect anything OF
value that might be washed ashore and to
check any depreciation. Commander Bick-
nell saws he does not think any further as
sistance is needed, but if he had diver he
might satisfy doubt as to whether the
ship had been crowded on the lee anchor.
II was his intention, he says. on the day
of the report March 17th) TO take both
vessels TO Vineyard Haven as soon as pos
sible. The Nina, the. Commander says,
will lose her rudder only and perhaps have
some pipes broken or burst by frozen
water.
In a subsequent report Commander Bick-
nell says that on March 18th he caused the
main.topmast of the Galena 10 fall. The
main-mast and the main-yard were broken
by the fall. In conclusion he says that II
the ship holds together the delay in get
ting the Galena started will in bring

A Decision Touching It's Forfeiture of
Land-Grapts,
TnY tolegrnph % .he Dispatch.l


WASHINGTON. March 21.-Secretary Noble
has rendered decision in the case OK the
Gulf and Ship-Island Railroad Company,
in which no orders the withdrawal from
settlement and entry of all lands within
the indemnity limits Of the road south OF
Hattiesburgh. Miss. The general railroad
Immigrant forfeiture act of August ~,
1890, provides that If the railroad company
should relinuuish within ninety days all
claim to lands sold by the Government or
entered under the land laws the forfeiture
declared in the act should not apply to
that part of the grant TO this company
living south of the town of Hattiesburgh
until one year had elapsed, and that the
company might select lands in lieu Of those
lost within the indemnity limits OF the
original grant nearest to and opposite such
part of the line as may be constructed
at the date of selection. The COM
pany having complied with the terms
of the forfeiture act now asks that the
lands south of Hattiesburgh be withdrawn
from the settlement. AS to the company's
selection of indemnity lands the Secretary
holds that they must be restricted to the
original limits south of Hattiesburgh: In
this particular he disagrees with the Com,
missioner, who held that selections could
be made anywhere within the limits OF tne
original grant, including the indemnity lin
its opposite the forfeiture portion of the
road. With regard to the company's claim
for 100 sections north of Hattiesburgh, the
Secretary expresses no opinion, as there Is
nothing to show the validity of such claim
bevond assertion, He expresses his desire
to deal in spirit of liberality with the ap-
plication. and as the aided portion of the
road is required to be constructed by Sep
tember 20, 1891, it would, he SAYS, seem to
be right to extend any proper facilities to
aid IN producing that result. The applica-
ton is therefore granted and the lands
south of Hattiesburgh are ordered to be
withdrawn from settlement.

WASHINGTON. March 2i.--General Joseph
r. Johnston died shortly after II o'clock
tonight at his residence, on Connecticut
avenue. The General had been suffering
for the past three weeks with an affection
OF the heart, aggravated by a cold he
caught soon after General Sherman's fu-
neral in New York. His physician has
been trying 20 keep up his strength for
some days, but his advanced age has given
little hope for his recovery from the be-
ginning of his illness.
THE HERo's LAST HOURS
The General did not seem TO suffer in the
least and was conscious 10 the last. At his
bedside were Ex-Governor McIane. of Ma
ryland. the Generals brother-in-law, and
the nurse. The immediate cause of death
was heart failure. the result of fatty degen-
Grafton Of the heart, due i'll measure TO q
cold contracted some weeks ago, but more
particularly due TO extreme old age. At
times for about two years General john
ston has shown unmistakable signs Of a
general breaking down. His mind often
became bewildered SO that he could not
tell where he was or how he came there.
SERIOUS IYDIscRETIoN.
Some DAYS after the Sherman funeral the
General one night got up out of his bed while
in q profuse state OF perspiration, which
greatly aggravated the slight cold with
which he was then suffering. This brought
on a severe attack of his old heart trouble,
which completely Frustrated him. His
physician, Dr. Lincoln. succeeded, how

THE Won BoETTIcHER AFFAIR.
Secret of BIsmarck's Bitter Feeling
Against the Minister.

by Anglo-American cable to the Dispatchl
BERLIN. GER, March 21.-The National
Gazette gives an authentic version of the
Boetticher affair. 1t says that six years
ago Minister Won Boetticher raised loan
TO cover the liabilities of bankrupt rela-
tive amounting TO $4,000 marks. At the
same time he informed Prince Bismarck
of the facts and offered to resign his Office.
Prince Bismarck consulted the Emperor,
who entreated Minister Won Boetticher TO
remain and sent him money to enable him
to repay the loan. Boetticher supposed
that the money was derived from the Privy-
Purse. but his opponent declared that it
was taken from the Guelph socret-service
fund. The National Gazette leaves this
point still in darkness. The foregoing
facts account for Prince Bismarck's bitter
feeling against Won Boetticher for his in
gratitude in assisting in the Chancellor's
fall. Deputy Tramm, who called attention
TO the affair, is now actively engaged in
canvassing Geestemunde in behalf OF the
candidacy of Bismarck for the Reichstag.

posals for the final settlement of the lake
front difficulties. About thirty influential
citizens were present. At the close OF the
meeting MIR. Telford Burnham, who had
issued the call for the meeting, said: -
think we have finally reached q point
where the lake-front difficulty can be set
tied forever and the ground utilized for O
public park. The plan contemplates the
removal and lowering OF the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad Company's tracks and the es-
Enlistment of permanent park"
When asked IL it would reopen the ques-
ton of utilizing the lake-front for Worlds
Fair purposes Mr.. Burnham said: Not at
all. The matter has always been seconda-
~ consideration in the minds of those who
have been fighting the lake-front battle.
Should we succeed. however, this will be
no reason why permanent World STAR
buildings may not be erected there"
1t is limited that a permanent art museum
is 10 be- built in the space now occupied
by the old Exposition building, and pro-
baby other permanent World s-Fair struc-
lures may be erected on the lake-tront.
