PARIS and PASSENGERS
ARRIVE AT NEW YORK AFTER A
ROUGH PASSAGE
The Captain Had No Fear But Took
No Chances Of Capture by the
Spanish Cruisers

NEW YORK, April 30.-The American
line steamer Paris arrived this morning
from Southampton after a rough passage
of seven days, seven hours and forty-fiye
minutes, with nine saloon, forty-two cabin
and ninety-eight steerage passengers.
The Paris left Southampton April 22d Mt
p. m. After clearing the land Captain
Watkins shaped his course about north
and after a run of thirty miles headed for
home, keeping a distance Of about thirty
miles from the usual course taken in pre-
vious trips. Captain Watkins had no fear
that q Spanish war vessel would catch his
fleet steamer after she got sea room, but
1t was thought possible that some craft Of
the enemy might be lurking in the vicinity
of the channel or in the neighborhood OF
the Irish coast to waylay the American
craft.
At night every light on board the Paris
was extinguished and headlights were COW
cred. Strict watch was maintained to
detect the approach Of vessels. Leaving the
Lizard with the wind southeast, then
north northwest, very light, the weather
became overcast and a long westerly swell
prevailed. This condition of weather pre-
vailed until the wind became westerly and,
commencing on the 23d, increased to gale.
Rough seas, with fog, rain and generally
thick weather prevailed. On the American
coast a heavy northeast gale with high
head seas was encountered.
The Paris sighted the White Star line
steamer Majestic on April 23d at SAB a.m.,
in latitude 1885, longitude 1929, and at 7.29
p. m. of the same day passed a freight
steamer of the White Star line bound east.
Nothing else was seen. The Paris brought
sixteen cases of munitions of war and
small quantity of miscellaneous merchan-
disc.
The Paris entered the Narrows through
the field Of mines and torpedoes at $3.50 this
morning and was saluted by steam whistles
of passing craft as she went to her dock.
1t is expected that the Paris will discharge
her cargo today and will be received by
the naval authorities tomorrow morning.
Her name will be changed to Yale. Tho
Paris has crew Of 2S9 and two mail clerks.
She also brought two stowaways.

Baseless Complaints

WASHINGTON, April 3O-Many COM
plants have been received here to the eff
feet that the government has not taken full
precautions to prevent the transmission of
important military dispatches between the
Spanish government and it's colonies in
the West Indies.
1.-THE truth about the matter" said Major
Greeley, chief signal officer, who has
charge of the supervision exercised by the
United States government over cable mes
sages going out and coming in to Key
West, sis that the president has acted
promptly in the matter, and at present
there is no cable running out of the United

Emperors at Outs

LONDON, May 1.-The correspondent Of
the Sunday Special telegraphs story that
Emperor William left Dresden last Satur-
day, after a disagreement with Emperor
Francis Joseph arising from heated dis
cussion had in the afternoon relative to
the Spanish-American war, in which the
Austrian emperor vainly tried to convince
the kaiser that it is his duty and interest
to assume, if not an unfriendly attitude to-
ward the United States, more friendly
neutrality to Spain. Emperor William re-
iterated that Germany's interests pointed
to policy Of strict neutrality and the re-
tention of the good will of the mighty re-
public.

HARBOR DEFENSE
Tons of Explosives Sunk Off San
Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3o.-Five humid
red submarine torpedoes are to be placed
in San Francisco harbor almost inmc-
diately by the United States government
as a protection to this city in case Span
ish fleet should attempt to enter this port.
Manufacture of the explosive material
has just been completed by the Giant Pow
der company. The location Of the torpe-
does will be marked by buoys and chan
rel for the ingress and egress of vessels
will be left free, so that the pilots of the
port may steer their way safely through
the distractions in the daytime, but at
night vessels will not be permitted to enter
or leave the harbor. Should Spanish war
ships make their appearance off this coast
the prohibition to pass out even during
daylight will be made absolute. This is
going to be an obstacle in the way of COM
merce, but 1t will effectually prevent the
destruction Of shipping in this port and
render an attempt to lombard San Fran
cisco extremely hazardous to the enemy's
fleets,
