PROBABLY RESCUED.
Steamer City of Para Left Colon
at Noon Yesterday.
MIR. Drake Explains III, Delay in
Going After tho Kearsargc's Men.

The shipwrccked sailors and officers of
the warship EcarSarge have probably
been rescued from Roncador Reef by
this time. f. A. Drake. New York rep
resentative of the Panama Railroad Com
pany declares positively that the steam
ship City of Para left Colon at noon yes
terday, and with n kim of luck should
land the shipwFeCked crew In Colon to-
morrow.
The charges made 10y naval officers
that this Company was retaliatinG on
the Naval Department for an injury in
ficted some years ago is absolutely
false" said Mr.. Drake. There was no
animus whatever, and ! am surprised
that such "A thing should have been in
sinuated."
lit rs said hat your charge of 81, Oo)
is an cXtortion," said the reporter.
Il will not discuss that question. That
Is the business of the Company n OF
the Government. Secretary Herbert UNI
dertsands the situation exactly, and has
given his consent
WAS there any delay on your part?''
asked the reporter.
None tha' was unavoidable; When
| received Secretary Herbcrt's dispatch.
| was about to leave my house with "A
party. l Immediately gave up the trip.
and devoted the entire night to arrang-
ms matters, so that the answer would
not he dclayel. y special wire was
even kept open.
you understand that as the City Of
Para was only controlled by us under
lease, We had to communicate with the
owners, with the INSURANCE" companies
and go through numerous formdlities
before we could decide IN the matter.
"Al | can say Is thai every possible
effort was made by us to dispatch the
city of Para At the earliest possible mo-
ment. She had just begun TO take on
cargo. but this was stopped Yesterday.
and 1T is II question with us AS 70
whether she had sufficient cargo TO bal
last her properly and make her safe"
Mr.. Drake refused to talk any further
and referred the reporter to ii printed In
terview had with him last evening.
In this interview Mr.. Drake stated
that whatever delay Their" was. was
caused by the city of Para being a mail
carrier. The regulations of the mail ser,
vice and the provisions of the contract
with the vessel must arrive and leave
ports on schedule time, and there sE y
not be any unnecessary deviation from
the course.
I'm this particular case" Mr.. Drake
is reported to have said. there Is n
deviation from the course, inaHmuch as
the steamship has to sail over 200 miles
to the reef and return to Colon before
beginning her trip to New York.
THE insurance companies holding poll
Cies ON the vessel Immediately levied an
additional premium of - per, cent. on
her value and the value Of the cargo
from colon to the reef and back.
Altogether tho expense imposed viii
amount to about 5000 As the pass"ngoI

They are printed from seven different
tered bonds being $50, 800, $1,000 and
SlO 1000, and those of the coupon bonds
$50, 800 and 81 900. The delay has been
caused by the fact that all the bonds Of
the issue are not uniform, but split up
into SO many denominations.
It is stated that the demand for bonds
of the smaller denominations has been
much larger than for the higher de
nominations, which would go, to show
