ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

The Associated Press' Version of the
Loss of the Newbern.
REDoNDo, Oct. 14.-lBy the Associated
Prsss.l The steamship Newbern, Van
Holms captain, eight days from Quay
mus. grounded this morning st
O'Clock, few miles north of the San
Pedro lighthouse. The passengers, crew
and part of the cargo were saved. The
ship is lost. There was dense fog and
the crew could not see ships length.
The captain supposed he was well out
from land. The current carried him Oft
his couree. The ship went full speed
into the rocks. The water came in very
rapidly; the steamer listed to port and
rolled very much, but the csreening was
always to port. There was no disorder
the discipline was perfect. The vessel
lay on the rocks in the same position
until deybreak and the partial lifting OF
the fog, when the passengers were rowed
ashore, not stones throw distant.
The vessel is broken in two; the decks
are completely razed. The story. as
told to correspondent by Mrs. Kath-
crime Brandegee OF San Francisco, one OF
the passengers, is as follows:
"We left San Jose del Caba October
1st, and had pleasant trip until the
disaster. l retired at the usual hour
last night. At O'Clock felt a violent
shock, as of vigorous earthquake, and
the ship was carried to port. was not

the rocks will acknowledge.
'sThe fog was 80 dense that | could see
but very short distance, though from
the bow rocks were discernible, and
one could almost have jumped on
to them. The main land was about
100 wards distant. The vessel filed
very rapidly, and as it was readily seen
that we were ON solid foundation the
excitement abated and the best of order
prevailed. At daylight we put off in
small boats and reached the shore with
out trouble or accident. No surf was
running; the sea was very calm. I'm
mediately the captain dispatched the
purser to this place who sent us wagons
in which we were taken to the Redondo
hotel and made very comfortable. The
trip over the rough country was tedious
as we had to get out several times and
help the horses along"
The Newbern is an old craft used as a
transport in the rebellion. The cargo
of oranges, tanbark and bullion was all
lost, except the latter. The passengers
were principally Mexicans. There we're
seven in the first cabin and about 20 in
the second.
The tug Pelican, just returned from
the wreck, reports the hulk almost en-
tirely submerged, with the bow not more
than 80 feet from the shore. The bottom
is all mashed in and the smokestack is
gone. At low tide she will be high and
dry. The second cabin passengers, with
the mate and crew, are encamped on the
bluff overlooking the scene OF their late
disaster. Considerable bullion was lost,
but the exact amount is not known.

SAN DIEGo, Oct. Alt has been
lately ascertsined that there are many
settlers on lands belonging to the city,
and it is believed that deep seated
conspiracy has existed. including coun-
cilmen and other city officials. by which
it has been hoped to gain title to the

prime movers in the matter, one being
prominent banker of San Diego,
another an ex-councilman. 1t is diff

lawfully occupied, owing to the oblitera.
ton OF the landmarks of the old survey.
For several years efforts have been made
to secure new survey, but on the plea
OF economy the expense has not been
assumed. Lately, however. facts began
to leak out, and changes In the city
council resulted in a more determined
effort to secure q survey. The opposi-

The modus operandi has usually been
to return in the tax list of aBsessable

The person to whom they we're assessed
would allow the taxes to become delin-

Having thus secured q shadow of a
claim to the land, the friend would

and outbuildings and await the lapse of
time until 3 suit could be instituted to

subject to taxation, and all attempts to
secure ita assessment have been fraudu-

that the supreme court will overrule the
judgment OF the lower court and affirm
the city's title in the case now pending.
Care will be taken that no other cases
arise.

A CHEAP TRICK

One Of the commonest frauds
perpetrated by anonymous cores
pondents is their practice Of vary
ing their signatures while still
harping on the same theme. This
produces the same sort of illusion
as does a palace of mirrors, adding
a couple of ciphers to the one re-
curing l. Readers are naturally
led to believe that there is a differ
ent writer for every signature, and
suppose that where there is so
much smoke there must be some
fire. A single indefatigable writer
thus comes to stand for the SEN
timent Of whole party, when no
party at all exists outside of his
own brain.
The trick referred to is exempli-
fed by the anonymous letters which
appear occasionally aimed against
the cause of annexation. We have
reason to believe that single indi-
vidual really stands sponsor for a
number of these. though he hides
his identity behind q multitude Of
pseudonyms. The fraud thus prac-
ticed is not an honorable one. and
the newspaper which connives at
it must share the burden Of dis
honor.
