THE GROUNDING OF THE OREGON

Indications Are That the Vessel 10 Badly
Damaged.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The navy de-
partment received cablegram from
Captain Wilde, of the Oregon. dated
Che Foo, confirming the report that
his ship is aground fifty miles from
Taku. The Iris and another relief
ship are now with the Oregon. Capt.
Wilde says that there is much water
in the forward compartment, with a
hole in the side of the vessel and small
holes through the bottom. Pinnacle
rock, where the Oregon is aground, is
about rs feet high, encircled by a
shoal, and should not be approached
nearer than three cables. There is a
strong current always prevalent in the
vicinity, and this fact, together with
the dense fog which prevailed at the
time, greatly enhanced the danger in
navigating the Oregon. The officials
of the navy photographers Office say
there is great rise and fall of tide
and it is possible the Oregon will be
lifted off in this way. It is probable
that she can be saved if the weather
does not become rough. Unfortu-
nately this is the season of storms in
Chinese waters.

Won Ketteler, German minister at Pc
king, was murdered by native troops
June 1s. Three legations-those of
Britain, France and Germany-were
still undestroyed June %. The Ger
man minister was attacked while pro-
ceeding to the tshng-li-yamen, where
he died. The American consul here
states that Yung Lu telegraphed
June 20 that the other ministers were
safe that morning but the situation was
desperate and he doubted whether the
ministers could hold out twerty-four
hours longer, as he and the empress
could not longer give protection.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The navy de-

ALL LIKELY TO BE ACQUITTED.
No Probability of Convictions in Cuban
Custom Fraud Cases.

custom Fraud Cases.
HAVANA, July 2.-In the opinion of
Havana lawyers generally the accused
officials in the custom house fraud
cases now on trial are likely to be &C
quilted. Apparently everything has
been done to assist them against the
prosecution, and it is openly asserted
that the fiscal himself is determined
that no one shall be convicted. AS
giving color to this assertion. it is
pointed out that he has called Senior
Manduley as witness. Manduley is
the attorney who came from Santiago
at the request of Gov.-Gen. Wood to
act as temporary fiscal in connection
with the cases, owing to the difficulty
of finding a competent prosecutor IN
Havana who was not related to one or
more of the prisoners. For months it
has been known that every effort was
being made to secure the release of
all. All belong to the best families of
Cuba, many Of them being members of
the leading clubs, and some related
even to the chief justice.

came to Iowa and returned a flag that

a return compliment.

insure the completion by August I, no

getting it done by August l without

In an opinion recently submitted to
the executive council bv Attorney
General Remley it was held that build
ing and loan associations have no right
to contract an indebtedness, other
than the stock authorized to be issued
in accordance to law. This is ques-
ton that has been causing trouble
to the executive council. In amend
ing their articles of Incorporation
many of the building and loan, and
savings and loan associations have
been insistent in demanding from the
council that they be allowed to pro-
vide for Indebtedness other than the
stock. In some instances, they have
asked that the limit of Indebtedness
which they should be allowed to con-
tract, should be placed at as high
figure as rs per cent of the stock. The
council opposed this as illegal,
and to settle the question finally asked
for an opinion. Mr.. Remley's opinion
leaves no doubt on the subject He
comes out in fat-footed terms and OBJ
poses the legality of the method Of
contracting indebtedness such as the
companies propose.

APPALLING CATASTROPHE
Scores of Lives Lost in Costly Dock
Fire at HOboken, N. j.

New YORK, July Almost $40, OOO,-
900 worth of property was destroyed,
many lives were lost, many persons
were injured and at least 1900 lives
were imperilled by fire that started
among cotton bales under Pier 8 of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, in Hobolken, N. j., at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. In less than
fifteen minutes the flames covered an
area quarter of a mile in length, ex-
tending outward from the actual shore
line to the bulkheads, from 600 to ], 900
feet away, and had caught four great
ocean liners and dozen or more
smaller harbor craft in it's grasp.
Stories in regard to the loss of life
are conflicting, the number being
variously estimated at from fifty to
200. Up to midnight ten bodies had
been recovered, but they were all
burned and blackened SO that identi-
fcation was impossible. The hospitals
in New York, Hoboken and Jersey
City are crowded with the injured.
The flames started so suddenly and
gained such Roadway that the people
on the piers and on the numerous yes
sells locked were unable to reach the
street There were great gangs of
worlxmen on the piers, and these, to-
gether with number of people who
iting the ships, scattered in all direc-
tions. As all means of exit were cut
off by the flames, they were forced to
jump overheard, and it is believed
great number of people were drowned.
At the docks of the North German
Lloyd were the Saale, a single screw
passenger steamship of 1905 gross
tons; the Bremen, twin-screw pas
senger and freight steamship of 1886
tons, and the Main, a twin-screw
freight and passenger steamship of
10000 gross tons. They all caught
fire and were burned to the waters
edge. The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse,
which had Just come in, was the only
one of the big vessels at the dock that
escaped, and it was slightly scorched.
Then by shift in the wind the flames
were sent in the direction of the dock
of the Hamburg American line, at
which the steamship Phmnicia was
doclSed. The flames got good hold
on the Ph9nicia and she was lowed
out into mid-stream ablaze. and was
badly damaged, but not destroyed.
Men working in the holds of the
steamships were shut in by walls Of
flame and it was impossible to reach
them. 1t probably never will be
known how many men persisted in the
ships, as the flames were SO fierce they
would leave but few if any remnants
of the human body.
The loss of the North German LLOYD
docks alone is placed at $4,000, 900.
The value of the great quantity Of
cotton, oil and various other merchan-
disc on the docks has not been esti-
mated at this time The loss to the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany alone will probably come close
to $4,000, 900.
