TWELVE DOZEN LOST.
The Steamer wairarapa Wrecked OF
the New Zealand Coast.

The Steamer wairarapa Wrecked OF
the New Zealand Coast.
SYDNEY, n. S. w., November 2.-The
Union Line steamer Wairarapa, bound
from this port to Auckland, y. H., was
wrecked Sunday evening on Great Bar
rie's Island off the northwest coast OF
New Zealand. The night was very dark,
and the officers and lookout on the
steamer were ignorant Of the proximity
of the land until the steamer struck on
the rocks. Captain Mcintosh, the mas
ter of the Wairarapa, was on the bridge
at the time. He, together with most Of
the crew, was lost. The sea was rough
when the steamer went aground. At
tempts were made to lower some of the
boats, but several of these were either
smashed by being thrown against the
side OF the steamer before the lines were
cast off or were capslzed before they
could be swung head to the sea. Most
OF those in the boats perished. Those
remaining on board made attempts to
rescue them. In the meantime the peo-
pie on shore were striving TO assist the
wrecked people. The steamer had two
or three life RATS, and these were thrown
overheard, but remained attached to
the vessel by stout lines. Then some OF
the passengers scrambled down the side
with the aid Of ropes and jumped upon
the RATS, which were then cut loose.
They drilted rapidly ashore, and the
npnnla thnD n bon off xrh at,
they came in reach by men, who went
out in the water as far as possible to
meet them. A line was finally thrown
across the steamer and the breeches
buoy rigged. A number OF lives were
saved by this means. Altogether Ill OF
the passengers and thirtythree of the
crew were drowned. Some of the sur
vivors have arrived at Auckland, but the
number saved is not positively known.
STORY TOLD FROM AUCKLAND.
AUCKLAND, November 2.-The Wairar-
apa struck at midnight, when most oI
the passengers were asleep. They were
aroused by the shock of the steamer
striking and rushed on deck in great ex-
citement. Life boats we're rapidly served
out. There were many pathetic and
| bCDpllC COil-
fusion there was no panic. A heavy sea
was breaking over the vessel, and the
boats were launched with great difficult
ty. The steamer, after she struck, set
tied rapidly and was partly submerged.
This added to the danger and difficulty
in launching the life boats. A large
number sought refuge on the bridge, but
many were swept from it by the seas.
Others took refuge in the rigging, where
they remained until daylight, when two
of the crew swan ashore with lines, by
means of which sort of breeches buoy
was rigged and number of persons
hauled ashore. All who reached the
shore were attired in scanty clothing.
They remained on the docks for thirty
hours, subsisting on oranges that had
been washed ashore.

Colonel Going in the steerage.

SAN Francisco, November l. - The
steamer San Jose sailed for Panama and
way ports yesterday, and it was ex-
pected that Colonel Cienfuegos would be
one of her passengers on his way to join
his young wife at Acapulco. The Colonel
was willing, but his purse was light, as
his gallant commander, Antonio Ezeta,
had left him only steerage passage.
Having been released from Jail on Sat
urday, he could not get a ticket until
Yesterday morning, and then he found
the steerage packed to its very limit.
Cienfuegos begged to be taken in the
cabin, promising to pay the difference at
Acapulco, but Purser Garland could not

not. The result was that the ship sailed
without him, but he says he will 90 in

tiles on the Question.
WASHINGTON, November 1.-The treas
ury officials were looking up authorities
to-day on the question as to what consti-
tutes contraband of war, in view of the
fact that they may be called upon very
soon to make ruling in the matter as
affecting expectations from this country
to the seat OF the Chinese-Japanese war.
The proposed consignment OF lead to Yo-
kohama, Japan, from Tacoma, Wash,
has led them to study of the authori-
ties, which seem to show that a number
of considerations enter into the question
OF what is contraband OF war, some OF
which are: ITO whom are the goods
consigned? What is the condition Of the
country and what is the nature of the
goods, etc?" All of these conditions,
taken connectedly, go to make out a
case OF contraband of war, and each con-
signment OF goods must stand by itself
The Tacoma (Wash.) case has not yet
been officially brought to the attention
OF Secretary Carlisle, but the matter is
nevertheless receiving investigation as
to whether pig lead is contraband or
not.

woRDEN's CONFESSION.
All of the Defendants Implicated Except
Himself.

WOODLAND, CAL, November 2.-De.
tective G. j. Stillwell occupied the wit
ness stand in the Worden case to-day,
and brought out the confession of the
defendant, duplicating all OF the de-
PENDANTS except himself in the train
wrecking. Stillwell said Worden made
the statement to him in the county jail.
Stillwell was sent for by Worden, who
first wanted 5000 to expose those con-
cerned in the wreck. When visited
the second time he gave him statement
concerning the wreck, in which Worden
admitted hiring the carriage, driving
through the line of soldiers and being
with the men up to the arrival at the
second railroad crossing, where he claims
he gave out and returned to Sacramento
also that Compton, member of the
Mediation Committee, bought the giant
powder and gave it to the wreckers
Worden said Hatch, Barrett, Appelman,
McMann, DYER and others were in the
carriage. Two Of the men are now in
Oregon, and Barrett is in Oakland. In
the confession Worden said that the man
who rode on the front seat OF the surrey
after passing the second crossing was
Albert Wheeler, who closely resembles
him. The confession gave all the details
OF Worden's movements ON that day,
and does not impicate any of the Medi-
alton Committee except Compton. This
afternoon letters from Worden to Carroll
Cook were introduced, in which Worden
asked Cook to visit him and he would
make clean breast of the whole affair
il they would release him. The confes-
sion is in Worden's handwriting, and he
makes no effort to deny the authenticity
OF it. This closed the case for the people.

GERMAN EMBARGO
The Secretary of Agriculture
Decries Retaliation.
FOR SANITARY REASONS ONLY

The Action Not That of Federated Ger
many. But Individual on The Part of
Separate states-Damage to Our In
terests by this Act Overestimated.
WASHINGTON, November 1.-The an
nouncement that the embargo placed
upon American cattle by the Senate Of
Hamburg had been extended to the
length of an exclusion OF American cat
tie and dressed meat from every part OF
Germany was received with surprise by
department officials to-day. That Texas
fever was merely ground which Ger
many could adopt for enforcing retalia-
tory measures against the United States
because OF the supposed discrimination
against German interests in the sugar
schedule Of the tariff bill was the preva-
lent impression.
The German Ambassador, however,
assured the Secretary of State to-day
that the measure of exclusion was in
spired solely by sanitary reasons and
had no political motive behind it. Gov
eminent officials are obliged to take this
view oil the case, since any other view
might seem reflection upon the Am
bassador. Secretary Morton, who has
just returned from trip abroad, had a
consultation with Secretary Gresham
about the matter to-day, but the strin-
gent measures just adopted were not
known. He assured Secretary Gresham
that the expectation of Texas fever into
Germany by American cattle was alto
gether improbable, il not impossible, ac-
cordlng to the opinion of the experts OF
the department, who have devoted much
time to investigating the disease during
the past year, and said he was confident
the supposed discovery Of Texas fever
was O mistake.
When the dispatch from Berlin was
shown the Secretary of Agriculture he
expressed surprise. Exclusion of dressed
meats he was at loss to understand,
because they are all inspected by compe-
tent officials in this country before they
are shipped. Texas fever, moreover, can
only be carried by live cattle. The live
cattle exported from this country are
also inspected at the ports OF shipment
to see that they are not diseased.
Secretary Morton said he had no doubt
that the German officials intended to act
in the interests OF the public health in
excluding American cattle, as the sani-
tary regulations of that country are un-
usually stringent upon all such matters.
The Secretary thinks that the dam
age to be inflicted upon American inter-
ests by this act is greatly overestmated,
as our exports of meat to Germany are
comparatively light. From his observa-
ton on his recent trip Secretary Morton
is convinced the expectation OF live cat
tie cannot be made to pay as well as
shipping dressed meats. The establish
ment of increased facilities for shipping
meats in cold storage, he thinks, will
greatly increase the American business.
