ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-The agitation
causad by the failure of the St. Louis

saulted. At one time a revolver was
drawn by the sergeant-at-arms of the
house, Henry L. Weeks, who guarded

"'AA sShAh SoSSAoi
TACOMA, Jan. l5.-The steamer Elm
Branch brings news from Shanghai
that French warships have possession Of
Kwong Chau Wan bay, where bonn
dairy dispute has been pending for sew
eral months. The French commenced
operations by seizing two Chinese gun
boats, destroying their guns and ammu-
milton and taking the officers aboard the
French ship as prisoners.
The warships then shelled 20 Chinese
villages, compelling the Chinese troops
to move back.
A four hours battle took place at
Vegluoc, i'll which the French lost four
killed and % wounded. The Chinese
loss was heavier.
After the Chinese retreated the French
forces were divided into four expedi-
tions, which pillaged and burned many
villages on their march back to the sea-
shore. Several mandarins surrendered

They are held as hostages to prevent

ALL LOST In WRECK
SHIP GOES TO PIECES ON THE NEW
FoUNDLAND COAST.

Many Dead Bodies Visible in the Surf
Impossible to Render Aid to the Dying
Passengers and Crew-Wreck Burns on
the Reef
lowing comprise all the details regard
ing the wreck in st. Mary's bay that
could be obtained:
The ship is a two-masted steamer of
nearly 5000 tons and probably carried
crew of 60, with possibly some passen-
gers. She went ashore before day
break on Thursday. striking ledge at
the foot of the cliff, where escape was
hopeless. The crew launched the boats,
but probably during the panic some
We're crushed against her sides, others
being swamped and all the occupants
apparently perishing.
The ship was seen to be on fire by
residents six miles away. Attracted to
the scene, they found the after half of
the wreck blazing fiercely and the fore
part under water. Kerosene in the
cargo helped the blaze.
At that time only three men We're left
on board Two were on the bridge and
one was in the rigging. Those on the
bridge were safe until about p. ~,
when they were washed overheard and
drowned, the bridge being carried away.
The survivor soon after left the rig
ging, swan to the rocks and twice en-
deavored to get a footing. Failing in
this, he made his way back to the rig
ging, where he died of exposure during
the night.
Many dead bodies are visible, tossing
on the surf. Two of them, thrown up
on a cove, cannot be reached owing to
the heavy sea. One of them is wom-
an. One of the boats and wreckage is
strewn along the coast for miles.
There is not the slightest prospect
shat any soul on board escaped death,
as the intense midwinter cold would
kill any one who escaped drowning.
ST. JOHNS, N. f., Jan. 17-Every-
thing goes to show that the wrecked
steamer in st. Mary's bay is the Hell
goland, the property of the Dutch Amer
ican Petroleum company. Among a
number of flags picked up last evening
near Holyrood was one with the colors
blue, white and red, with the letter
RI in the center. This is the house
flag OF the company. Taken with the
finding of the boat off Cape Pine bear
ing the name "Helgoland, !" it seems to
leave no doubt as to the identity of the
vessel. A life buoy was also picked up
with the name of the steamer painted
on it, but the lettering was partly illeg-
ible from fire and water. The Helgoland
carried crew of 35.
Landsmen We're unable to get down to
the beach and are therefore unable to
recover the bodies, which have been
lying there exposed five days and nights.
Seven bodies are now ashore and can be
reached when the sea becomes smooth.

she desires to preserve Germany's
friendship she will do well to pay more
attention to German opinion than has
been hitherto thought necessary.
