to leave for San Francisco in three
weeks.
Yesterday being Maunday Thurs
day, the bark Cavaliere Luigi d.
hoisted her flag at half-mast. To-
day GOOD Friday the flag will be
again in the same position, and to-

the custom among all Catholic
countries. 1t is something unusual
in these waters.
The barkentine Irmgard, Captain
Schmidt, arrived yesterday, Is days
from San Francisco. The weather
not being favorable, she drifted on
the California coast down as far as
Cape st. Lucas, in latitude %
north; there a fresh breeze APP
peared, and in a. very short time
she lost sight of land. The trades
were had the last three days. On
Tuesday and Wednesday she made
325 miles and 2SS miles respec-
lively, and yesterday she made 212
miles in sixteen hours. The Irm-
gard is locked at Brewers wharf,
where she will land her 400 tons of
cargo.
The schooner Robert Searles,
Captain Piltz, sailed out Of the
harbor yesterday morning while
the japanese cruiser Naniwa was
having torpedo practice. The tur-
bulent crew shipped at Australia,
which caused great annoyance to
the captain, have been supplanted
by japanese sailors. There were
but five Europeans on the vessel,
the crew being mostly japanese.
The Searles' cargo consisted of
1888 bags of sugar, 3416 gallons
of molasses and 1876 gallons of
sperm oil. The domestic cargo was
valued at $71, 74O.
The cruiser Naniwa was engaged
at torpedo practice yesterday. The
torpedoes were shot toward the Ma
rine Railway and two of the ships
steam launches were towing them
back to the ship. Many curious
people on the wharves enjoyed the
sight.
The Oceanic Phosphate Com
pany's schooner Compeer left San
Francisco IN the 18th instant for
Clipperton Island, an uninhabited
spot in the Pacific claimed by the
French Government. The Com
peer is the first vessel that ever
cleared for the island from that
port. She carried a cargo of car
penter's supplies and tackle.
The German steamer Ramses, ply
ing between Hamburg and Central
American ports, struck a sunken
rock near Cape Blanco, on the coast
of Costa RIGA, on the I'd inst, and
was so badly damaged that she
will prove a total loss. After the
accident the steamer YVES run on
the beach, where the seventeen pas
sengers and crew of thirty-five sue
ceeded in getting ashore before the
vessel sank in four fathoms of
water. The steamer had 1900 tons
of general cargo, most of which will
prove a total loss with the vessel.
The Ramses was an iron steamer,
bark rugged, registered 1166 tons
net, and was built at Hamburg in
1S76.-S. F. Chronicle.
Captain James Mcintyre, master
of the steamship Costa Rica and
owner Of the bark Richard Ill,
who was arrested on the 10Th inst.
for shooting a union sailor named
Binninger when a gang Of union
men tried to board the vessel, was
in the Police Court yesterday to
answer the charge Of assault and
murder. Mcintyre gave $4,000
bonds, and induced Judge Conlan
to continue the case until April Sd
to allow him to sail on his vessel.
The attorney for the Sailors Union
stoutly objected to the continuance,
arguing that the witnesses, who
are sailors, would 60 to sea and
prevent justice being done.-S. F.
Chronicle.
