NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: It was learned at the State Department to- day that the course pursued by Minister Powell in Port au Prince, Hayti, in the Lueders incident was not so satisfactory to the authorities as was believed. There has been no action looking to the recall of Minister Powell, but MT. Powell. I was told to-oay, had gone farther in the Lueders incident than the department de- sired, and, while no official censure has been administered. he has been given to understand that he must be more careful It was through the earnest insistence of MT. Powell that Lueders. the German subect, was released by the Haytian Gov ernment and placed on board a vessel and sent to New York While the Ger man Minister at Port au Prince was satisfied with what MT. Powell had done. he regarded his action as somewhat med dlesome The mater. however, has not been officially called to the attention of the State Department by the German au- thOritieS

 FIGURES One of the Jobs to Loot Los An-
 geles. Is Exposed in an Affidavit From Erne est Abs
 Hagan. The Water Company's Tools Try to Drive Him Out
 of Town.
A COMPLAISANT OFFICIAL.
It Seems He Thought He Should Do What the Monopoly Wanted
 Done.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2s.-The ex- pert civil engineer, Ernest Abs Hagen, who made the estimate of the value or the water company's improvements on the city's distributing plant. has made an affidavit which lets in T great light on the water company's methods. Ever since Abs Hagen's estimate was furnished to the Council the corpora ton and those either directly or in- directly in its employ have not only been seeking to discredit Abs Hagen professionally. but they have been SndeavorinAs to drive him out of the city. A very strong pressure was brought to bear on KIT. Hagen when he was making his figures to force him 10 elevate them. He, upon his own re- sponsibility. declined to do so, but the figures were raised, and the facts as to. how that raise was obtained are clearly set forth in the affidavit follow ing.
 The instrument was made by Abs Hagen last November. and several city officials who are not in any way tied up with the water company were con versant with the facts as he has set them forth. The affidavit furnishes some sensational denouements. It reads:
 To All Whom it May Concern: The un- dersigned, during the month of May, 1897. was placed by City Engineer Dockweiler in charge of making an estimate upon the value of the present waterworks system of the city of Los Angeles. and to report upon the condition of the same. In pur- suance of such instructions he handed d report in writing to City Engineer Dock weller, which report, after suggested and enforced alterations. was duly presented to and accepted by the City Council of Los Angeles. and is now on file and known as the "City Engineers Report Upon the Value of the City Waterworks. '
 The undersigned herewith states the following facts to have become relevant during the time that he prosecuted this work, to wit: That from the date of be- ginning, on May 12 1897, until July 20. 1897, he was in sole charge of the work. ar ranged and executed the different items of the same according to his own best judgment without any further instruc- tions, interference or suggestions from the City Engineer; that the report and estimate as delivered by him to City En- gineer Dockweiler was essentially his own work; that during the time of ex- ecuting this work the City Engineer. with the exception of three times, did not put in any appearance whatever upon the scene of the work and that during these

NANAIMO, B. C., Jan. 2S.-The steamer Danube arrived at Departure Bay late this evening. bringing news of the wreck of the steamer Corona, with 245 passengers aboard. The Cor ona struck a rock near the mouth of the Skeena River and at once com menced to sink. Lifeboats were low cred and the passengers were conveyed to the beach of the Skeena River. The steamer Al-Ki went to the rescue. She is now on her way south with the un- fortunate gold seekers.
 The Corona struck the rock on Tues day morning, bow on, and Is now lying with stern submerged. It is feared that the Corona will prove a total wreck and the whole of her cargo will be lost
 The accident occurred just outside an island that is off the mouth of the Skeena River, and 1t is said the course taken by the Corona was not the usual one Most vessels pass up between the mouth of the river and the island, but side the island and piled up on a reef when under full headway. She settled down within forty minutes. giving time for all the passengers to be safely land ed, but very little of their effects and none of the freight could be landed.
 The Corona was commanded by Cap tain Pierce, who never before had charge of a steamship. He has com manded a deep-sea sailing vessel for several years, and until recently was in charge of the ship Sea King. Since the Corona has been on the Alaska route he had been second officer under Cap tain Carroll, until the latter resigned, when Pierce was promoted to the com mand. This was his second trip as captain. The Corona had two pilots on this trip, one of them being Captain William Thompson, an experienced navigator.
 It is not known here just how many passengers the Corona had on this trip, but she was uncomfortably crowded when she left here. many sleeping on the floor.
 The wreck of the Corona recalls the loss of the steamer Mexico, also belong ing to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company She was lost just as the rush was setting in last fall, and this wreck also comes at a most inoppor- tune time The Corona, like the Mex leo. is said to have been fairly well in- sured.
 About the same time word was re- ceived from Victoria announcing the loss of the Corona, Superintendent J. F. Trowbridge of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company received news from w. P. Rithet & Go. of Vancouver. B. C., of the stranding of the 30O-ton freight steamer Coquitlan, owned by the Union Transit Company of Van couver.

plant or place the company in default If the company is placed in default upon the contract, then the city can proceed to build an entirely new plant, so asserts competent legal authority. On the other hand, if the company agrees to arbitration it must at once name its arbitrator and the city its arbitrator.
 The two will select a third and the three will proceed to make an exami- nation of the plant and fix a price on the betterments. This will consume six weeks or two months.
 Of course the city's arbitrator would be guided by the city engineers valua- tion of s1,190,O00. But after the arbi- trated price is reported it will take three months to vote the bonds, and in this interim the water company's con- tract with the city will have expired. So the necessity for immediate action is at hand and the people realize it; hence the unquestioned success of the mass meeting to force the Council to expedite matters.
 One member of the syndicated press the Evening Express-has been brought to time by the Newsboys' Un- ion. This paper attempted to bulldoze the newsboys and force them to pay 3 cents a copy, while the regular price to all was cents. The newsboys re- fused to pay the price and formed a union For two weeks the boys were as a unit They declined to sell the Express, and not a paper was sold on the street. The Express business man. ager advertised in all the papers for men and boys to come and sell the sheet, but not a man turned up. He agreed to pay them 50 cents a night for two hours work, no matter how many papers they sold; but no man nor boy would sell it. Finally the Express was forced to treat for peace with the Newsboys' Union. and the business manager agreed to sell the boys the paper for 1 cent copy. The proffer was accepted. In the battle with the newsboys the Express came off second best

DAWSON THE DESTINA TION OF NEARLY All OF THE
 c0RONA'S PASSENGERS.
History Of tbe Vessel Which Succeeded the Wrecked Mexico and Shared
 Her Fate

SEATTLE, Jan. 2S-The Corona was considered one of the finest appointed vessels in the Alaska service. She was in command of Captain Pearce and had two pilots, Thompson and Coffman. whose experience on the route would seem to make their pres ence on the steamship almost a guar antee of safety. The wrecked steamer sailed from Seattle for Dyea and Skaguay, Alaska, on January 20 and had 225 passengers. 130 being first class, from Puget Sound ports. In Seattle alone were sold seventy first class and seventy second class tickets Her freight was about 700 tons of gen eral merchandise and POO tons of fuel.
 The following were the officers of the ill-fated Corona: Captain Pearce, Chief Officer Thomas Hogan, Second Officer Marshall, Third Officer Cam, Chief Engineer Martin. First Assist ant Engineer H. Miller Second Assis- tant Engineer R. Robertson, Purser
 Valentine.
 Among the passengers on the Corona was a party of six from San Jose, Cal, led by John Stanley and A. Ehrman.
 They were under contract to build a wharf and warehouse in Skaguay. As a side issue the six took an ordinary cutter sleigh and about thirty smaller
 sleds for use in transporting freight and passengers on the Skaguay road.
 The party has sixty mules in San
 Francisco, which will be shipped to Skaguay as soon as transportation can
 be engaged.
 A most complete printing outfit was aboard the Corona, shipped to Dyea It
 was being taken north by E. W. Pol
 lock, formerly of Mount Vernon, who intended to issue in Dyea the only
 daily newspaper in Alaska. The cy- finder press is the largest yet taken north.
 MT. and Mrs. Foster and Mir and Mrs. F. E. Thayer sailed for Fort
 Wrangel on the steamer Corona. They will locate on the new townsite called | Goldike and will commence construc- ton work at once. T. c. Wilson left on the Corona and intends to push on to Dawson without delay. He figures on reaching there in March, and after spending couple of weeks expected to start on the return trip. He has en- gagged Indian guides and has a num-
 Der of dogs. He intended to follow the course of the river Several others aboard the CorGna intended starting at once for the Klondike. It is safely estimated that three quarters of the ! passengers are bound for the mines On the 1st of September last the Corona came to Seattle from San Fran cisco. Early in the previous month the steamer Mexico was sunk in Dixon Entrance, which made necessary the presence of a vessel to take her run. l Voyages north were made by the steamers Willamette and Homer be-
