CUT THE BARK IN TWO.
Cunnrdcr Cnmpnnia CoIIides With n
Sailing Vessel or HoIyhend.

LONDON, July 22.-While the Cunard
Line steamer Campania was passing Holy
head at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. she
ran into and sank the bark Embleton,
bound from Liverpool for New Zealand.
There was an extraordinarily dense fog
at the time. and the Campania was pro-
ceeiipg very slowly. Suddenly the bark
lo0med up almost directly under the
steamers bow. and almost before an order
could be given to change the helm the
steamer crashed into the sailing vessel,
cutting her into halves. which sank within
three minutes.
Cries from the sea on both sides Of the
steamer caused Captain Walker to order
iifeboats lowered away, and these, within
a few minutes Of striking the water, res
cued seven men. These told the men in
the boats that the captain of the bark
and ten others of her crew were unac-
counted for. A long, but vain search vas
made for them. They were doubtless
drowned.
The Campania's bows were damaged
above the water line. The bark's gear
fouled her backstays. which caused her
topmasts to be carried away. but the
damage can be repaired in time for her
to sail on July 2s. The captain OF the
bark was named Nielsen. This was his
first voyage in her. 1t is stated that there
were twenty tons OF gunpowder on board
of her The Campania was blowing her
whistle and the bark her fOghorn at the
time the collision occurred. The shock
was comparatively slight aboard the liner.
The bark was at the bottom of the sea
before many Of those on board the steamer
knew that an accident had occurred. The
saloon passengers and those in the second
cabin subscribed $3.50 for the sufferers.
In an interview Mr.. Stern, e well-known
yachtsnan, who was a passenger on the
Campania, paid tribute to the Cam
panias crew for their excellent behavior
in getting the lifeboatS away and in
throwing life buOys overheard. The
stewards. too. he says, are deserving OF
praise. They went around quietly calming
the incipient panic among the second
class passengers forward, many Of whom
were shrieiing.
Mr. Stern, who was standing at the port
rail, saw the bark sink. People were
clinging TO the keel OF the after part
which had capsiZei These were probably
sucked under as the vessel went down.
The mar who was standing watch on
the bark as lookout was rescued in an
insensi0le condition. When he recovered
he said that he twice warned the mate,
who. he seems to think, failed to heed the
warnings. He declared that Captain Neil
sen was the first to jump overheard after
shouting. Every man for himself
The lookout man added: '"It was a
miracle that the Csmpania was not blown
to pieces. We had lot Of dynamite and
gunpowder aboard, fore and aft. II you
had not struck US amidships you would
surely haze been blown I'D"

ciate the American policy better and un-
derstand the new opportunities that are
extended 20 them.
Campaigning during the past week has been
active. Two hundred insurgents who were
entrenched near Taal held their position
for en- hour against an attack by the
Americans. They were finally routed by

killed seventy without sustaining any
casualties themselves.
Reports received here show the greatest
military activity throughout the islands
Two hundred rebels have been killed and
120 captured, including eleven officers. One
hundred rifles have been captured.
The commander at Ronblon has released
seyenty-two Een and eight officers on their

FIRST MEETING WITH II.
Ex-Minister Bnrrett Tells of the
Clever NiccroN,s SnrCnsIn.


NEW YORK. July 22.-In seven years
residence in the Orient, John Barrett, ex-
United States Minister to Siam. formed =
personal acquaintance with Ii Hung
Chang. IN discussing the ability OF the
Ficeroy TO clear up the present trouble
in China, Mr.. Barrett told the following
story of his first meeting with Lii to a
party of friends at the Waldorf-Astoria:
on my first leave of absence after
reaching my post in Siam l made a trip
to China for the purpose of studying the
great Empire. On my way to Pekin
tarried at Tientsin to call on the famous
Viceroy. An English friend who was at
that time acting as Lis private secretary
made all the arrangements for mo to visit
him at his yamen. | was advised to take
an Interpreter, and selected one of the
Oldest missionaries at Tientsin, a man of
seventy years, who had spent the best
part of his life in China | was pleased
at securing the services Of such a dstin-
guished looking Interpreters It was not
until afterward that | learned that my
missionary had been in trouble with Ii
and they hated each other rlghteousIy.
after arriving at the yamen VIC did
me with the utmost friendliness and gave
the missionary n perfuuctory sort Of
greeting. He asked me about my past
life after the true Chinese fashion, and
went into my plans for the future. He
wanted to know what he could DO for my
welfare, and offered to assist me in reach
ing Pekin.
Now, in China they have a reverse
method of paying compliments. Here We
tell a man that ne does not LOOK his years.
but over there the highest compliment that
can be paid a young man is TO say that he
looks to be fifty or sixty. This was one of
the Chinese customs which I did not know
at that time.
In bringing our interview to close II
turned to hi, secretary ard said: Tell the
distinguished Minister from the United
States that he appears to me TO be a man
of very mature ytars.' Turning toward the
grey haired missionary. 4 man able to be
my father, he said with a sweep Of the
hand:
And this gentleman, who Is with the
distinguished Minister. is he the Minister'S
SCR
1T was the acme CT clever sarcasm. and
the missionary felt the insult deeply. He
got very red and seemed unable to sit still.
After Ii left US the secretary brought
out some refreshments. lie poured out
two glasses of whisky and soda, and, know
ing that the missionary never drank in
toxicants, fixed a glass Of plain soda Tor
him. In his excitement the missionary
picked mp my Whislly. and drained it al a
gulp For year his fellow missionaries In
Tientsin jolyed him about 1t, and he was
forced to admit that he had been 50 flus-
tered by Lis sarcasm that he had not no
ticcd the difference"
