San Francisco, June S.-Gustave Bow
an, one of the survivors of the Colima,
has sent a communication to the Call,
In which he says:
1.-THE Colima was lost because she
was badly handled by officers without
capacity and had bad men. When the
gale struck us and saw that the ship
was going to sink, went after the life
preservers and commenced to give them
out to the passengers. The steward
told me to let them alone, and ordered
me forward.

The Chronicle says this morning that
as result of the testimony given at

the Colima disaster a number of suits
for damages will be brought against the

that the company was criminally negli-
gent in the manner in which 1t loaded
the ship.

SAIL FOR CUBA
Expeditions Of Armed Men Leaving Key
West Florida.

New York, June S.--A special to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says: Ru-
mors circulated here in the last "a
hours that a filibustering expedition
would leave this vicinity for Cuba have
been confirmed. A small vessel came
in from the gulf around the east end of
this island and anchored close to shore.
Shortly afterwards az boat was sent
ashore with messages for the leaders.
Within short time bands of Cubans
heavily armed were taken aboard the
vessel, which remained at anchor. Sew
eral well-known revolutionists dis
appeared, among them Generals Roloff
and Sanchez. The impression prevails
that several vessels will meet at Ba-
hiahonda, Cuba, where other contin-
gents from Tampa and Jacksonville
will join them, making formidable ex-
petition. 1t is thought no less than It's
Cubans have gone from here.

PROGRESS IN THE CUMMINGS TRIAL
The State Rests-The Spokesman-Revicw
Makes Itself Prominent.


Colville, June S.-The state, in the
Cummings trial. rested at 11:30 this
morning. after the introduction of 20
witnesses, consuming two days of time
in their examination. Judge Ganahl
and John b. Slater, the attorneys for
Cummings, asked a short time to pre-
pare for the introduction of their case.
1t being Saturday, and Mr.. Griffitts,
for the state, desiring to return to Spo-
kane to look after important and press
ing legal matters, YVES excused until
Monday and returned home. on the af-
ternoon train. Judge Arthur will put
in the time of intermission in the Cum
mings case in attending to the civil
business of the term. Cummings, whose
health Is much impaired by his long
confinement in Jail since the shooting.
December last, will avail himself of a
much needed rest during the adjourn
ment. Attorneys on both sides consent
ed to the jury having such reading
matter as is usually afforded by cur
rent magazine literature, and a large
package of back numbers of that char
acter of periodicals.
The correspondence in The Spokes-

"Bailiff Day episode, which appeared
In the issue of the 9th inst, has been

KEEL CANAL OPENING
War:hip Kaiser Adler to Head a
Naval Procession.
JUNE 10 is THE DATE SET
Military Advantages OF the Great Ditch
Mean Volumes in Case OF
European War.

Berlin, June g. The trial trips
through the Baltic and North sea canal,
made this week by the imperial yacht
HohenZollern and the Hamburg Amer
lean line steamer Palatia, with the
chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe. Minister
of the Interior Won Koeller and others
on board, showed that the canal is in
condition for the passage of small
fleet on June 10 and 20. The Palatia
just touched bottom between Rends-
burg and Holtein, but 1t was nothing
more serious than stirring up the mud.
According to the program, the Kaiser
Adler with Emperor William on board.
will head procession of is German and
foreign vessels, which will pass through
the canal during the evening of June
49, The Marblehead will represent the
United States during the passage of
the Elbe from Hamburg to Brunsbut-
tie, and the canal will be closed to traf
fic until after the ceremonies are over.
The great canal which joins the Bal
tic sea to the ocean cost about 80, 500, 900
marks and has been eight years in
building. 1t intersects the peninsula of
Schleswig- Holstein from Brunsbuttle,
near the mouth of the river Elbe, to
Holtenau, on Kiel bay and opposite the
city of Kiel, a distance of about SO
miles.
The military advantage is that hence
forth in time of war the German navy
cannot be diveded, and the provisioning
of either the Baltic or the north shore
can not be interrupted or rendered i'm
passable.
The agitation in France against
French warships at Kiel hosting the
imperial flag bearing the sinister date
1870 has induced the emperor to de-
eide not to visit any foreign warships
during The celebration of the opening
of the canal, as if he visited any of
them he would be compelled to visit
the Hoche, the French flagship, which
would thereby be bound to hoist the
standard. The cause of French excite
ment about this matter appears to be
due to the fact that Prince Bismarck
during the course of a speech made In
response to the address of a deputatior
in April last, said that the canal had
been proposed by him in 1867, but that
nobody would listen to him until the
French war indemnity gave him the
wherewithal to carry out the scheme
| The speech which Emperor William
| is to make at the Holtenau banquet or
June Il is awaited with curiosity. The
| French admiral, Monard, is to sit or
his majesty's right hand, and the Rus
| sian admiral, Skeinidleff, is to sit on his
left. Thus it will be difficult for tn,
| emperor to avoid special allusion tt
| France as the most honored guest.
