AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Arrival of Coasting Schooner Believed to
Have Been Lost.

The schooner Annie E. Bailey arrived
yesterday afternoon at the wharf of ]. E.
Libbey & Son, lumber dealers, after an
eventful voyage. AS published in The Star
about month ago, the vessel was caught
in a severe storm and was abandoned by
the captain and crew. after it was thought
the ship was doomed. Assistance was rem
dered by passing steamer at the time, an
attempt being made to tow the schooner,
but on account of her condition she was let
go and the crew rescued.
The abandoned vessel did not sink, but
drifted about, and was picked up by a
steamer of the Merchants line of Balti-
more. The derelict was lowed to Charles
ton, s. c., pumped out and rugged up. and
a new captain and crew placed aboard to
make the voyage to Georgetown. The
schooner originally sailed from Fernan-
dina, Fla. with a cargo of 100000 feet of
Georgia pine, which completely filled the
hold and was piled on the deck About
$1,000 feet OF lumber was washed away

leading viceroys.
In this connection it would be we'll for
Americans to become familiar with the
name of Prince Tuan of Picking. known as
the fifth prince" He seems to be the
manchau who has brought about this cor

brother of the late Prince Kung, who was
known as the sixth prince"

will. Jung Yu, the famous general who

these factions, and the one who has been
able to bring Japan into the Picking coun-
ellis to such effect that Russia is at present
checkmated.

The quartermaster general has received
telegram from Col. Long, quartermaster
at San Francisco, saying that the 4Sth Foi-
unteer Infantry (colored), which has been
in quarantine at Angel Island, Cal, LOT
several weeks on account Of several cases
of smallpox in the ranks, will be released
from quarantine by the 18th instant. The
disease has been entirely stamped out, and
the regiment will be fully prepared on the
date named to start on the long journey to
the Philippines.
Their long detention in quarantine inter-
fered with the transportation program OF
the War Department. Ii was originally ar
ranged that the regiment should take pas
sage on either the Warren, which sailed on
the I'd instant, the. Sherman, which
sailed yesterday, but this was found to
be impracticable, and the only vessels now
available for their transportation to Manila
are the Grant and Sheridan. which can
be put in readiness for the trip to Manila
in about three weeks. The 4Sth Infantry IS
the last of the volunteer regiments organ
lied for service in the Philippines, and Is
the only one not already in that country
or on the way there.
