Captain Walker is Given Some News
of Her.

captain Walker received a dis
patch yesterday morning about the
Inflated City of Columbia and now he
is looking for the man who wrote it.
The message contained the following
startling news:
"A special message received from
Manila states that large portions of
the City of Columbia have been sight
ed in latitude 1914 west. longitude
S4:9I east. The boilers were seen
floating about. They had evidently
been turned round, for they were on
their upper ends. The dynamo and
grindstone were also seen floating
about few hundreds yards from the
boilers and the main engine was seen
in the distance. The cargo of iron
foated carelessly by the observers and
nightly easily be taken and sold in
China.
The hole through which water en-
tered the City of Columbia was visible
from great distance. A steamer is
about to start from Manila to get the
hole. the intention being to donate it
to those who repaired the vessel and
made her ready for sea"
