Europe generally might become I'M
easy at the idea of such an extension
of international action by the United
States, inasmuch as it might, at any

SIX DAYS LATE
OVERDUE SCANDINAVIA Ar
RIVES AT BOSTON.
Delay Due to Bad Weather, Poor
Coal, Green Firemen, and a Col
lision With Lumber-Laden Yes
sci.

Boston, Dec. 25-The overdue Allen
line steamer, Scandinavian, from Glas-
Cow, arrived today. six days late, owing
to bad weather, poor coal and green
firemen.
On Christmas eve, she collided off
Cape Cod, with the undertaken
became a total wreck as the result of
the collision, her crew of six men being
brought here on the steamer. The ac-
cident was due to the steamship cap
tain mistaking the schooner for the
pilot boat on the Cape Cod station, as
she burned flare-up lights, used aboard
the pilot fleet as a signal. Chief Mate
Atkins answered what he thought to
be a pilot boats signal. The wind was
blowing from the north-northeast, and
being a fair wind for the sailing craft,
the latter commenced to draw nearer
the steamer and the steamer kept her
course at moderate rate of speed,
naturally thinking that the speedy
pilot boat would come about and
launch a boat, instead of which the
schooner crashed into the steamer with
terrific force striking her on the star
board bow and doing considerable
damage. The schooner's yawl boat
brought the crew to the steamer.
The Scandinavian has two holes in
her starboard bow, one about two feet
square just above the load line, while
the other is on the bluff of the bow,
where a large piece of the schooner's
jibboom and a portion of her jib had
lodged.
The schooner Carrie Walker was
commanded by Charles w. King of
East Port, Me-, and left st. Johns, N.
B., December Is, with lath and shingles,
for New London, Conn., Captain
Starkey says that when the collision
occurred the vessels bows opened and
filed rapidly with water and she must
have capsized, as she was nowhere to
be seen shortly afterwards. A fiare-up
light was used simply to warn the ap-
preaching steamer, which should have
given US the right of way, according to
the rules of the road at sea. The crew
had barely time to gather their trunks
and personal effects and stow them
aboard the yawl before leaving the
wreck"

San Francisco, Dec. 25.-The war yes
sells on this coast are preparing for an
emergency.
The magazines at Mare Island are.
being heavily stocked with ammuni-
ton, and there is a feeling of unrest
among the officers of the navy, who
are liable at any moment to be or
dered to sea.
While the heads of the various
branches of the navy Department are
in consultation at Washington, dis
cussing the proper modes for defending
the seaboard cities of the country, &C
ton has been taken here that seems
to demonstrate that. in the opinion
of the directing powers, it is we'll to
be ready for anything that may occur
at short notice.
During the week orders were received
from the ordnance department at
Washington to supply Mare Island
with 100000 rounds of 3S-calibre cart
ridges for navy revolvers. This order
came to Charles Sonntag & Co., and
that firm has been kept very busy
ever since filling it. The ammunition
will be landed at the avy yard, from
which point it may b. taken by the
various war vessels among which it
may be distributed.
The 10000 rounds of revolver ammu-
milton, should it be sent to Mare Island
at this time, is considered more than a
mere coincidence by men who are ac-
quainted with the manner in
which the navy department con-
Quoted its affairs. It is gem
orally believed that it is the inten-
ton of the authorities at Washington
to oil no x~.,1
upon what may be termed an emer-
gency footing.
As navy revolvers of 3S-calibre would
be effective only at close quarters, the
opinion has been suggested that the
heavy order sent to Sonntag may mean
that the government intends to send
strong force into Cuban waters for
the protection of American interests
upon the island. The usual allowance
of ammunition to a man in battle is
80 rounds Taking the usual allow
ance of ammunition as the basis of
calculation, the 10000 rounds sent to
Mare Island would provide cartridges
for the revolvers of 5000 men
1t is known among military men here
that the Dupont Powder company of.
Delaware is under contract with the{
government to furnish a great quantity
of powder. So urgent is this order tha{
the Dupont factories are working nigIE
and day, turning out tons upon tons
of powder. Most of this has been as-i
signed to the navy department, which
is preparing to stock the magazines of
all the federal war vessels in both
oceans When the heavy order for am
munition at Mare Island is considered
in connection with the order given the
Duponts. government officers CONFESS
that the army and navy are being pre-
pared 90 answer at short notice any
call that may he made upon them.

New York, Dec. ga Sun special
from Washington says: Senator-elect
Money of Mississippi, whose term in
the house does not expire until March
4, and who is one of the Democratic
members of the house foreign affairs
committee, has determined to visit
Cuba and find out for himself the true
situation of affairs in the. island. Ac-
cording to a letter received from him
yesterday by one of his personal
friends, he win leave Tampa next Sun
day morning for Havana and calcu-
lates to remain a week or ten days
in Cuba. Colonel Money has provided
himself with all necessary letters and
passports. 1t is his purpose to seek
an audience with Captain General
Weyler as soon as possible after ar
irving at Havana. Colonel Money. pro-
poses to request the captain general
to provide him with an escort and
flag of truce so that he can go into
the heart of the territory occupied by
the insurgents with a view of finding
out what is going on. Colonel Money
says he is determined to make
lengthy journey into the interior of
Cuba as his time will permit. and it IS
understood that he will also endeaVor
to communicate with the insurgents,
whether Captain General Weyler
grants his permission or not. Colonel
Money realizes that it will be a risky
thing for him to proceed on mis- own
account if a permit is refused him.
However, he is so anxious to have
trustworthy information that he will
take the chances even if he finds him
self later on locked up in prison 1t is
his intention to state frankly to the
captain general that ne visits the is
land because it is impossible to pro-
cure from President Cleveland or Sec
rotary Olney any official information
regarding the condition of affairs in
Cuba, and as a member of congress
and of the house committee ON foreign
affairs he wishes to know what he is
doing before he casts vote for or
against any one of. the several resolu-
tions pending.
Colonel Money was an officer in the
confederate army during the war under
General Forrest, and his four years
served in the field whetted his interest
in military operations. He thinks his
visit will at least enable him to learn
more than he could by depending on
the state department for information.

BANK OF MINNESOTA.
Work Will Commence Today Looking
to Its Reorganization.

st. Paul, Mimi. Dec. 25.-John D..
O'Brien. attorney for the Bank of Min
nesota, announces that action will
commence tomorrow looking to the re-
organization of the bank. Both the
stockholders and the depositors are in
favor of putting the institution on its
feet again, and the depositors are es
pecially lenient in their demands. They
are willing that their money shall be
paid to them in four payments, in six,
twelve, eighteen and twenty four
months. The stockholders will be
asked to advance $500, 900. This, with
the good loans, will considerably more
than pay every depositor dollar for dol
lar. 1t is now expected that the re-
ceivers can be discharged and the bank
be put in the hands of it's officers again
by the middle of January. AS the
bank has been a feeder of
the older institution is will be reorgan
lied on the same basis. s
