The Vessel Wrecked in Alaskan Waters
Not Yet Positively Known.
PORT TOWNSEND. May 5.-Concerning
the identity of the wrecked schooner
White and the loss of seventeen men in
Alaska, Engineer Biggs, who brought tho
news here, says he was under the inn
preston that the vessel was the George
II. White, although 1t may have been the
c. G.. White of San Francisco. To con-
firm the latter statement, he says he now
remembers positively that the survivor
who arrived at Kodiak Island stated that
the vessel fitted out in San francisco. 1t
seems quite possible now that the lost
craft is the San Francisco schooner OF
eighty tons burden and carried crew OF
nearly thirty men. The Seattle schooner
is about thirty tons and is too small to
carry enough boats for twenty eight sea-
men. Biggs left Kodiak hurriedly just
after the news of the disaster reached
him. and aside from carrying meager
particulars of the wreck, did not pay
much attention to the name OF the vessel
other than that she was called the w hite.
The steamer Saratoga is due from Alaska
tomorrow, and probably more definite
news concerning the White will be had.

have little fear of death. The French
were greatly troubled by them in Ton

the Black Flags upon any specially hated
enemy they consider it great stroke of
enterprise. 1t is also said that when the
French, during the Tonquin campaign,
complained to Viceroy Ii Hung Chang
against the outrages OF the Black Flags.
to demand that he secure their punish
ment, the Viceroy said he had no more
control over them than the French had.
They were robbers and China had disa-
vowed them.
A Hongkong dispatch to the Times
states that the Governor of Formosa says
its cession to the Japanese will produce a
rebellion. He declares he has lost con-
troll of the soldiers and that foreigners
must save themselves. The leader of the

carry out his original orders to prevent
the Japanese from landing on The island.
Placards written by the Lietrati have
been posted in conspicuous places and
circulated among the people calling upon
them to resist the Japanese. Another
saying that if the island is to be ceded to
any nation, they prefer it should be
given to Great Britain.

Japan agrees to renounce possession of

the negotiations are actively proceeding.

nothing has occurred to diminish the

nection with the eChinese-Japanese treaty

probable the compens sation to Japan for
