The captain of the Pacific Mail
steamer San Jose recently had
trouble at Corinto, Nicaragua, with
the authorities. Armed forces
menaced the vessel and her passen-
gers. The captain was refused
permission to telegraph the facts to
United States Minister Baker.
A fire broke out in the hold of
the steamer Gaelic, while she was
lying at the Mail dock in San

which was extinguished by the

and dunnage slowed in the hold,
and did little damage.
A recent dispatch to the Mer-
chants Exchange at San Fran
cisco, from Waneta, B. c., says
that the steamer Columbia, the

The loss will reach $4,000.
On the last trip of the steamer
Gaelic to San Francisco, she had
only one Chinese passenger to land,
and the officers accounted for the
phenomenal absence of the Mon
golians by the fact that the Chinese
Government would not allow any
of their able-bodied men to leave
the country pending the result of
the war with Japan.
D. L. Jones, first mate of the
British ship Dichmont, who was in
irons for sixty days on the trip to

Jones would not listen to it. He
believes that he has been unjustly
treated and asks for an inquiry.

waterfront character, is dying at

the San Francisco Examiner He

California in place of one of the
crew who could not be found.
When the bark returned an entry
in the log read: James O'Brien
died of alcoholism on the first day
out from port. Body buried at
sea-"
When the Alameda arrived at
San Francisco last Captain Morse
was seen by an Examiner reporter
and this is the result: "The rebel
lion in Samoa is settled, and Cap
tain Morse of the steamer describes
the situation there in a few words.
He says there is no war there.
The natives are just lying round
and doing nothing. These war ru-
mors and attempts at rebellion are
only started to keep a man-of-war
around the islands SO that little
ready money can be secured from
the sailors who get shore leave, so
that the salaries of the King and
his Councillors can be paid.
