ABOARD A TRAMP STEAMER.
Possibility that Some Passengers OF
Ill.,. Naxaire Were Saxed.

NEW YORK, March 20. TIL steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm II, Captain Hogemann,
from Mediterranean ports, arrived to-day.
The log book shows that at 100 p. m. on

grees. Z minutes north, and longitude 40
degrees, q minutes west. she passed the
English tramp steamer Yanariva, which
sailed from Newport News on March 10
for Glasgow. The Yanariva signaled the
Kaiser Wilhelm III, but owing to some
mistake the signals were not plainly un-
derstood. Chief officer Dannemann, of the
Kaiser Wilhelm Ii, said tonight that as
far as they could be made out the signals
were: Sixteen. St. Nazaire, French" The
chief officer said that he was under the I'M
preston that the Yanariva had seen the
ST. Nazaire, but had been unable to get
to her on account of rough water. Ihen,
again. he said il might have been that the
English ship had succeeded in rescuing six
teen of the st. Nazaire'S passengers and
that they were on their way To England.
The Yanariva will not reach the other side
until Thursday or Friday.
The mails dispatched on the lost steamer
ST. Nazaire included those for Port-au-
Prince, Aux Cages and Jacmel, comprising

of printed matter for san Domingo; also all
letters, etc. which were specially addressed
