steamship City Of St. Augustine, Captain
Gaskill, which sailed from Jacksonville,
Fla, on Fes. Q, with cargo Of about
375, 600 feet Of pine lumber for this port

had been expressed in shipping circles as
she usually makes the trip in five days
is safe. A dispatch received in this city
says she has put into Bermuda, having
run short of coal.
The City of ST. Augustine is very sea-
worthy and capable of outriding the Sc
verest storms, and her agent here has all
along been confident of her ultimate safety.
He has maintained from the start that her
supply Of coal had undoubtedly become OK
hausted, and that she would be first heard
from at somo coaling port. Her crew num-

The Cola BOND Contract.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The attention
of the treasury officials was called to the
statement made by Senator Gray to tho
effect that just prior to the signing Of the
last bond contract United States Treaslu-
er Jordan had notified the secretary that
he could not continue longer than the next
day to pay gold on demand for legal ten
ders. This statement. it was said was
substantially correct. On Wednesday even
ing, Jan. so, Mr.. Jordan, in a telephone
message to the department., said that he
thought he could hold out until tho follow
ing Saturday, but that the next day might
decide the situation. II was further said
at the department. that the net gold coin
i'm the subtrcasuries and assay offices on
Feb 2, less gold certificates to order OUT
standing was s35, $40, 5l6 and tho gold
bullion amounted to SAB, 93S, 500, making
the total coin and bullion S79 500, 3S1.
The first indications Of general with
drawals Of gold for the purpose Of hoard
ing in this country, the treasury officials
say were noticed on Jan. ~ last With
drawals increased rapidly until on the
goth Of that month they amounted to ST.,
1866, 046. On Jan. 2S the first message Of
the president on the urgency Of the situa-
tiOn vas presented to congress, and ON
that Any over Ss 600, 600 was withdrawn
On the day following the Withdrawals
amounted to over SO, 600 600, and on the
Both to nearly $4,000, 000 The announce
ment that negotiations for another loan
were in progress was made on the 1st Of
February, and on the following day the
Withdrawals had decreased to S67, 600.
On the 9TH it was reported that a hitch
in the proceedings had occurred, and the
Withdrawals on that day more than dou-
bled. From early in the year, It is said
every effort had been made TO gather gold
coin and collect il in New York and Bos-
ton, the two principal points Of withdraw
ais for shipment, and on the I'd Of Fehru-
airy every dollar that could he withdrawn
with safety from other points had been
shipped TO these points. AS shown by the
figures given above, the total amount Of
free gold in the subtreasury in New York
WAS SO, ZOO, 334, and the only possible way
Of adding TO il was from the mints, whose
total coinage was only about 5000, 900 per

tDR. BUCHANAN'S CASE.
Warden Sage Doubtful About Pro-
ceeding With the Execution.
Attorney General Refuses 0pinion-Buchanan
Wreck-Final Appeal to Governor.

Sing Sing, n. Y, June 80 The case
of Dl. Buchanan, the condemned wife
murderer Is still enveloped in tangled
web of legal technicalities Warden Sage
is unable to obtain official authority which
would make his duty clear. His conf
Dental messenger, Mr., Burroughs. left
here, Friday, to obtain the opinion of the
attorney general of the legal effect of the
papers served upon the warden, last week,
by Buchanan's attorneys, but returned,
tonight empty handed. -
When he reached Albany. Mr. Burroughs
was referred to Deputy Attorney General
Hasbrouck, while Attorney General Han
cock went to Syracuse. After waiting
until afternoon, Mr.. Hasbrouck expressed
the opinion that the appeal papers upon
which he was asked to pass were similar
to those which proved worthless in the last
legal skirmish but further than this he
declined to go. He refused to give any
opinion or even to write letter to the
warden.
Warden Sage, after learning tonight.
of Mr.. Hasbrouek's refusal to decide the
question, sent q telegram to Attorney
General Hancock. The warden afterward
said: 81 have notified Mr.. Hancock that
I shall take no action in the case until
have the opinion Of his department to d.
rect me- hope to receive his reply, early
tomorrow morning"
Preparations for the execution of
Buchanan are all completed and persons
invited to attend as witnesses are expected
TO reach here, tomorrow morning. They
will be kept within call until the warden
iii ion no Oft
ney general as to his duty in the premises.
If he is notified that the papers served
by Buchanan's counsel do not constitute
a stay, the execution will take place with
the least possible delay. If otherwise, it
will be delayed until further judicial
determination of the case is obtained.
The intense mental excitement which
he has under gone in the past few days
has made great change in Dr. Buchanan.
He was unable to sleep, last night. and,
today, he was in condition bordering on
frenzy. Occasionally he would fall into
d ,ze, from sheer exhaustion, only to awake
with start In few moments.
His wife slept in the prison, last night,
and visited the condemned man, this
morning. remaining with him until to-
