HE WAS
The Rough Experience OF a Recent
ly Arrived Tourist.

Among the recent arrivals at tn,
Mahncke hotel, in this city, is Mr.. w
Nudge, of DevOnShire. England, who me-
with a very thrilling experience on his
way owe to America and who thus re.
lated his experience to a reporter of the
LIGHT today: Il was among sixteen
cabin passengers, two of whom were ladies.
On January II, at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, as we were about 20 miles off the
coast of Curacao, u ship. the Cuban, a
new steamer of the West India line,
struck a coral reel. She is laying on it
yet. While the shock was not very great
the excitement was intense as we feared
that the vessel which had several
large holes knocked into her bot
tom would slide off the reef back into
deep water, which, had such a catastrophe
happened would have resulted in all on
board being lost. As it was all were saved,
although we had to lay On the stranded
steamer from Tuesday morning until
Thursday evening, when we were taken
In ~Schooners to Curacao, where we wait
ed until the next steamer OF the same line
came along and picked us up.
NThe ladies and children behaved admir-
ably, considering their perilous plight.
Most OF the cargo was saved, although all
vi IL was udhdseu anu soue VI III lOSl. "A
singular coincidence connected with the
wreck is the fact that the purser, Lam
bert, had been wrecked on another
steamer Of the same line, the Californian,
just twelve months before in the same
locality also on a coral reef. The cause
OF the wreck was the fact that the vessel
was abont 100 or 200 yards off her course
through a portion of the ocean where
there are a number Of coral reefs"
Mr.. Nudge is here on his way to the
ranch of his brother, A. l.. Nudge. which
is located near Junction City. He says
that he is agreeably surprised and I'M
pressed with San Antonio, and he may
stay a couple of days here.

20 SUSPEND GOLD PAYMENTS.
q Report That Secretary Carlisle Has
So Decided,

WASHINGTON, April l0.-It is learned
hnoffically that instructions have been
sent TO the several sub-treasuries Of the
United States to suspend payments OF
gold in redemption of notes issued under
the Sherman silver bullion purchase act Of
1890, and to redeem such notes in the future
n silver cion. The authority for this ae-
toh is contained in section2 of the Sher-
man act, which provides that the secre-
tary of the treasury shall under such regu-
laton as he may prescribe redeem such
notes in gold or silver coin at his discre-
tion.'
At the treasury department an easier
feeling prevails, and the belief is expressed
that the general knowledge which is gain
Ing currency that the secretary would
draw on the gold reserve rather than issue
bonds would relieve the situation some
what by making less urgent certain efforts
to export gold. The secretary. as has al
ready been intimated, while unwilling to
discuss the situation publicly, is known to
be hostile to bond issue and in favor Of
using the reserve to the extent Of at least
S10,000000 before Withdrawing from his
present position.
