Called Down Again.

Washington, May 22.-Secretary Oh
ney has instructed Minister Taylor to
make vigorous presentations to the
Spanish government relative to recent
edicts prohibiting expectation of tobacco
from the island of Cuba on the grounds
that it amounts to practical confsca-
ton of goods in Cuba owned by Amer

partment, supplied by the collectors of
the Florida ports, show that the cigar
men of Tampa alone have 100000 worth
of tobacco in Cuba paid for and subject
to delivery and that for all the other
Florida ports there is as much more.
1t will be impossible for the merchants
to get this property out of Cuba within

representations to Spain as will secure
ample time in which to secure this prop

Which Cost 252 Lives.
San Francisco, May 21.-The steamer
Pelgic, which arrived Wednesday from
Hong Kong and Yokohama with adj
vices up to May 5, brought letters from
the crews OF the American warships at
Woosung, concerning the collision be-
tween the Indo-China line steamer On
wo and the coasting vessel New Chwang.
The boats of the American navy were
instrumental in saving the lives of about
so Chinese and two Europeans. Seven
ty-seven souls in all were saved and 252
lives were lost. Only seven of these
were white men.
The accident occurred at three o'clock
in the morning of April 30. The Onwo,
Capt. Johns, was outbound for Han
kow, and the New Chwang inbound
from the south. The former craft was
struck on the port side and sank in
about seven minutes. The Chinese pas
sengers went wild with excitement,
many jumping into the sea, while
others huddled together on the bow of
the vessel and were drowned like rats.
The captain of the New Chwang sent his
vessel ahead and ran her on the beach,
but lowered no boats. The crews of the
Olympia and others of the Asiatic
squadron dropped their boats over the
sides of their ships and in less than
Is minutes after the accident there
were at least dozen American cutters
at the scene of the disaster, saving the
drowning men and recovering bodies.
Corpses foated everywhere on the water
and for several days after the accident
they drifted ashore.
