Uncertainty Of News.

1t Is impossible, IL seems. to get any d.
rect and official communications from
China which serve 20 clear up the uncer-
tainty. The unsatisfactory manner In
which the cables OF Admiral Kempff have
been worded ever since the troubles be-
gan, has been cause of no little criticism
in the department. II Is possible. of
course. that the admiral has no real
news TO send out, but, even in that case,
II Is thought he should say so in words
that leave his meaning clear. .
Administration officials are anxiously
awaiting developments. but the delay in
definite news has led TO a feeling Of ap-
prehension that cannot be dismissed.
There has been no lull In preparations
by the war and navy departments 10 meet
any emergency that may arise. for until
the real situation and fate OF Minister
Conger and his associates is known. II
cannot be told what the future may hold

for Harvard. The crimson substitutes
took the lead at the snap of the pistol and
had no difficulty in keeping it.
The freshman contest was something
Of disappointment TO the New Haven

COLLISION AT SEA.

| Vineyard Haven, Mass. Jan. 23.-The
 Glasgow steamer Ardandhu, Captain
 Dundas, from New London, Conn, for Halifax, N. S.. was sunk in collision with the Metropolitan liner Herman
 Winter, Boston for New York, off Rob- inson's shoal, Vineyard sound. at $40 o'clock this morning, and two of the Ardandhu's crew of thirty-one men
 were lost They are: Chief Engineer James Henderson of Glasgow, Second
 Mate Fred Dove of Boston.
 The Herman Winter reached this port this forenoon with her bow gone and reported the accident. She had on board the twenty-nine men who escap- ed from the Ardandhu.
 The vessel was struck about midships on her starboard side by the Herman Winters bow and was cut half way through. She would have sunk imrne- diately, but her watertight compart- ments kept her afloat for time. The crew made rush, and it was thought all had succeeded in getting aboard the New York vessel, and 1t was not until there was time for consultation that it was found that two men were missing. The Ardandhu drifted toward the shore before she went down, and apparently she struck on the southwest end of Nauson Island and foundered stern first, her bow remaining out of water. She lay in about the same position as the Clyde line steamer Cherokee, which stranded on Nauson Island several months ago. The Winter has large hole in her bow, but her collision bulk head prevented the water from work ing aft and she had no difficulty in making this port
 The Boston Towboat company has sent tugs to the wreck, but it Is doubt ful if the Ardandhu can be saved.
 The Ardandhu was a comparatively new boat. She was built at Belfast, in 1S93 She was made of steel and was of 1884 tons and she was owned by Clark & Go. of Glasgow, Scotland. She was making her first trip on new line from New London to Halifax and thence to Havana.

KORAN PLEADS GUILTY.

In the superior court yesterday morn ing Daniel F. Horan of this city plead ed guilty to the charge of theft of $9 from the person of Lawrence Mackey, and was sentenced to one year in Jail. Horan was arrested about two weeks ago by Detective Dunlap and Police man Peter Hayes. He and William Fl. Carver were together. and both were charged with the theft. It was alleged that they induced Mackey to go into a lodging house on Union street while he was intoxicated and there took the money from his pocket.
 Horan accused Mackey of having as sisted in the robbery, but the police learned that the story was not true, and Carver and Mackey were held as wit nesses being charged with theft and drunkenness in the city court. Horan was taken to the superior court on bench warrant. As his case has been disposed of without a trial the cases against Carver and Mackey will be nolled in the city court.

sTrTT FOR DAMAGES

Judge George w. Wheeler in the su- perior court was occupied yesterday with the recital of a peculiar case, one in which Isaac Bernstein of this city sues Louis Cohen for s1,600 damages for false imprisonment and obtaining mon ey under false pretenses.
 Bernstein in 1898 left his wife, and Cohen, it Is alleged, went to New York after him, stating there that he had a warrant for his arrest. He, it is alleg- ed, made a pretense of arresting Bern stein and finally released him on the payment of $20.
