NEW YORK. April Excitement A. Girls
com, vice president of the American steam
ship line said tonight: Il have just re-
ceived a cable message from the agents of
the line in Southampton stating that there
is absolutely no truth in the rumor that the
steamer Paris has been captured. She
sailed at 2:15 d. m. yesterday and passed
the Lizard at 11:45 p. M. She proceeded on
her way for this port and as since that time
tain that she has not been taken. Had she
been overhauled by a Spanish vessel, the
captor and her prize would have put
about for some Spanish port, but as no YES
sci arriving either at Southampton or any
other port reported her, we are certain that
she is we'll on her way to New York"
The government will take possession of
the St. Louis tomorrow. Capt. William G.
Rangle went to the Office of Mr.. Grigcom
and reported to him that the members of
the crew had been approached as to their
desire to ship in the vessel while in the gov
eminent service and that from the captain
down to the cabin boy all hands had enthu-
aStically agreed to enlist.
