SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-The gallo
which has prevailed along the mort hern
Pacifio coast since Saturday last has
undoubtedly caused widespread disasl or
to shipping interests. At least three
achooners are known to have been
wrecked. There are grave reasons for
b lisving that tho American ship Ivan
hoe hiss been lost with all on board. and
there is little doubt that the Southern
Paoifc company's raft of 10000 srars
AID piles, valued at ever 100000, has
b.en broken up by the elements. The
news of the next few dsys, it is thought,
will show still greater losses.
From Tacoma the nchooner Nora Haw.
kins is reported wrecked at the entrance
to Gray's harbor. One seaman was
drowned.
Reports were also received here this
afternoon OF the wreck of the sen ooner
Portia ct Stewards point. Her bottom
WAS knocked out ON the rocks, and her
crew narrowly escaped with their livee.
II 10 also reported that the schooner
Electra wss driven on the rocks near
Cambria, on the San Luis OoiHpo county
enact. A few minutes after the crew
left her she broke in two and went
down.
The American ship Ivanhoe, coal
laden, from Seattle tor this port, which
has now been out 21 days. is almost GER
tainly lost. Capt. @. f. Griffin com
manded her, and she carried crew OF
18 men. Col. Fred Grant, one of the
proprietors OF the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer, and ex-minister to Bolivia. wes
passenger on the Ivanhoe. having en-
barked on her to eBjoy the novelty of q
eea voyage. A mast and yards painted
yellow, and believed by senmen to be
part of the rigging of the Ivanhoe, have
been sighted off the Oregon coast. A

and attracted wide attention in March
end April last. For instance, q weekly
newspaper of Berlin, in April, published
extracta from tho diary of a
German resident of the Came

ing to show that Herr Wehlan, the
governors substitute, who led An expe.
dition againot the natives. iasued an
order to his subordinates directing them
to cut the throats OF all the old women
who fell into their hands. The other
natives who were unfortunate enough

arms of the prisoners. who were entirely
unprotected from the weather and ex-
posed to the tropical heat. with their
wounds festering and bresding maggota.
The frantic appeals OF the prisoners for
water were brutsily refused, and when
the captives were half dead, they were
shot down like wild beasts.
Leist was also charged with flogging
native women. which act led to the
mutiny OF the native troops, during
which the laGtsr broke into the govern
msnt house and ehot down Judge
whom they mistook for the assistant
governor. For this about 25 of the reb.
ella were aftorward hanged.
Herr Leist was recalled in April Last,
with o summons from the government,
ordering him to surrender hipnse to the
authorities in Berlin and prepare to de
fend the accusations made against him.
Leist denied that the foggng OF
women was the immediate cause of
the mutiny of the native troops. He
admitted the truthfulnsBs Of the charges
of immortality. as regarded native
women, snd said that he had made the
latter perform their native dances before
him.
The public prosecutor who went to the
Cameroons to inquire into the affair,
addressed the court declaring Leist had
