Washington. July 13.-Capt. Sawyer,
signal officer at Key West, has reported
to the war department that the ship
San Domingo was wrecked off the Isles Of
Pines, Cuba, while trying to run the

food supplies to his army.

GOING AT I8 KNOTS.
La Bourgogne Was Sailing Swiftly when
Struck.

Halifax, N. S., July IS. The inquiry
into the collision between steamship
La hourgogne and ship Cromar5yshire,
was resumed today with Captain Hender-
son OF the latter vessel on the stand. He
reiterated his s tatement that the quarter
master had told him that La Bourgogne
WAS going eighteen knots an hour and
the fourth engineer said she was
travelling at full speed. His own opinion
was that she was going fifteen knots an
hour. The witness said that he himself
had made every effort as soon as he saw
the Rats with the survivors to save them.
Every soul was saved that it was possible
lot MIN to save. This concluded the evil
denne of Captain Henderson.
Chief Officer Knelman testified next
and pending his testimony, recess WAS
taken.
At the afternoon sitting of the court the
examination of Chief officer Hellman
was continued. He testified that the bow
spirit of the Cromartyshire carried away
a part of the steamers bridge and dam
aged her funnel. There was little serio-
comic incident at this stage.
K. e. Harris, @. c., representing the
French consul had been handed the
Cromartyshire's log book. Mr.. Borden,
counsel for the captain of the Cromarty-
shire. noticed this and objected to his use
OF it. He had no right to any information
from it beyond what came out in evidence
calculated by counsel in the case. Mr..
Harris was not of such counsel but was
really mere spectator. This view was
endorsed by the court and it was held
that Mr.. Harris could not examine the
log book. Mr.. Borden explained that
there was a. possibility of an action
against the owners of La Bourgogne by
the owners Of the Cromartyshire and any
evidence to be gained from the other side
would have to be done through the courts.
MIR. Harris had no right to avail himself
of his presence here, to obtain informa-
tion. MIR. Harris proceeded to make an
explanation but he was reminded amid
such laughter as tho solemn precincts of
the court would permit that he was only
spectator and had no right to speak. In
reply to r. r. Borden, the chief officer
said he was told by three from the steam
er that she was going at full speed. One
the speed was eighteen knots. One Of the
engineers, through an Interpreter told
him the same thing or rather that she
WAS going full speed Two others with
whom he had spoken-sa ilor passengers
told him the same thing, speaking in
English. During the morning watch the
ship was kept close to the wind, the sails
were shaking and there was head sea,
The Captain had ordered the ship to be
kept close to the wind. The fog horn was
in use continuously.
Tine court adjourned till II O'Clock to
morrow
