had the engines reversed and the steamer
was under little Roadway when her sharp
nose struck the Adelaide, just forward
of the midships. The force of the collis-
ion was sufficient to stave in the bull
warks of the Adelaide. 1t was quite
dark at the time.
Miss Norton, who was standing aft on
the Adelaide, seemed to lose her pres
ence of mind. With Shrek she jumped
into the water. Mr. Evans, seeming to
think it was his wife who jumped,
plunged in after Miss Norton. His wife,
said he could not swim, but that Miss
Norton. after whom he jumped, could.
Mr.. Dorno. the mate, was knocked down
on the deck by the boom and one OF his
ribs was broken. He was on his feet in
a moment and prevented Mrs. Evans
from jumping into the water after her
husband. Dorno grabbed Mrs. Evans ana
carried her across the deAk of the yacht,
which was lying close under the guard
of the Perseus. Mate Dorno grabbed a
big hawser. AS he did SO, the, Adelaide
drifted away and he was left clinglng to
the hawser with the unconscious Mrs
Evans in one arm. Friendly hands on
the Perseus reached over and pulled
Dorno and Mrs. Evans aboard. Ine

July %. gives the first official explana-
ton of the disturbance at La Paz on

the government of Peru had declined
the demand of the Bolivian minister in
Lima for PREPARATION from Peru for in
juries inflicted upon Bolivia during the
late revolution in Peru; that the Be-
livian minister had been given his
passport; that the latter had taken
refuge on a British man-of-war. and
that finally he had been assassinated
The circulation of these erroneous
statements caused great excitement
among some of the young men of La
Paz, who went in a mob to a building
occupied by the Peruvian consul-gen-
eral, Victor Benides, stoned the build-
ing, broke down, carried away and
destroyed the consular shield; broke all
the windsws and used insulting Ian
guage. They also stoned the house Of
Angel del Solar. just appointed consul

broke in the window OF the Peruvian
club and other houses. stores and
business places of nearly all the Pc
ruvian residents of La Paz. and then
subsidized.
Mr.. Moonlight adds that the pres Of
La PaZ and all of the law abidfng citf-
zens condemn the proceedings. Helalso
says: we can obtain here no further
news from Lima nor from Succrf. so
we are in the dark as to the suturS be-
tween Bolivia and Peru. but l ana in
clined to the belief that there will be a
friendly settlement of affairs soon
Cable adviees have since reported an
amicable settlement Of the troubles.
