SORRY THEY sMUGGLED.
officers on Solace Will Have to Pay
Fines.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 49,
The officers of the United States hos
pital ship Solace will pay duty on the
goods they brought over from China,
after all, but they will make their pay
ments in the shape of fines rather than
duties. Chauncey M. st. John, Chief
Deputy Surveyor of the Port, and j. d.
Power the special agent of the Treasury
Department, followed the ship to Mare
Island on Monday and returned from
that station yesterday. In the meantime
they had secured from the officers who
had brought in the goods an agreement
to pay either the fine or the duty on the
contraband articles.
Besides the goods there are twenty
Chinese aboard the boat without certi-
fcates and Deputy ST. John left a
strong guard of customs officers aboard
to watch them, He extended to Captain
Winslow every courtesy, and Captain
Winslow on the other hand offered him
every facility, and st. John expresses
himself as willing to allow the ship
every latitude. Captain Winslow pro-
missed to turn over to the appraisers all
goods declared to be in violation of the
customs laws, and will, on the part OF
his subordinates, pay fines for them
to a figure equal to the customs charges
The goods consist of 1876 packages of
silks, chinaware and other goods.

An MISUNDERSTANDING
IS THE wACHUSETT TO BE ADDED
TO THE LIST.
Fears That She is Lost With all Hands.
The Barkentine Klikitat Seen Dis
abled at Neah Bay.

The long absence of the ship Wachu-
sett has led most waterfront people to
the conclusion that she has been added
to the list of unexplained ocean disa -
pearances. 1t is feared that the vessel
has been lost with all her crew and as
the days go by the chance that any
thing will ever be heard of them grow
less and less.
In San Francisco the reinsurance has
gone up to 20 per cent, which shows how
little hope is left there that the vessel
would ever reach port. This was eight
days ago Since then the S. s. Doric
has arrived with anoth er report that
the ship has failed to appear and the
reinsurance has therefore probably
taken another jump. 1t begins to look
like one game of reinsurance gambling
in which the men who play the ito ar
rive" end will lose.
The Wachusett is a wooden vessel,
only % years old. She carries crew
of about fifteen men, under captain
Lambert. She left Newcastle, N. s. W.,
on the 18th of last May, and has not
been reported spoken since.
The Wachusett has been in trouble
before. Some years ago she was almost
sunk by a collision in Valpa"ais and
she had something of reputati IN as an
unlucky craft. She is now 1876 days out,
which is long enough for three trips
between Newcastle and Kahului, her
port of destination.
The barkentine KlilIitat, Capital Cut
Ter, which left Honolulu in August for
the Sound, is also reported in trouble.
She passed Neah bay on September 1
with her royal and topgallant masts
upper half of her foretOpmast and up-
per topsail yards gone The Klikitat is
a regular island lumber vessel. and the
vessel and master are both very Wei
known here.

AS might have been expected, coinci-

portant declaration of policy yet is

Germany into an awkward corner Now
if Russia assents TO the German note,
she will be unable to continue to pose
