LATEST NEWS is TO THE EFFECT THAT
LIPTONS CHALLENGER Is TO

The first BIT OF authentic news about the chal-
lenger Shamrock II arrived yesterday when James
Ward. of the partners of the Denny hrIr pulid-
ing the Upton vessel was given as authority Tor
the statement that the yacht will be ready to be
launched on April 20. Mr.. Ward Is the chief yard
manager among the partners and his news that

sioner Of Pensions, a enaHge would BE-
made IN that Office and that Mr.. Evans

posed Mr. Evans appointment to a Cab
met position in 1881 are willing, it was
said. that he be appointed Governor Of
Porto Rico They say he has large ad-
ministrative and executive ability. and
that the Office Of Governor IS one Of equal
if not more pronounced dignity than that
Of Commissioner of Pensions.
It is known in political circles here that
the Administration is not at all pleased
with the attitude Of the old soldiers in
Ohio who have Joined IN the demslnd for
Mr- Fans removal
Just when the proposed change may he
made it IS not stated, but those on the

CAPOIZBD DURING ASQUALL.
The Yacht NeRitzia Goes Down in
Long Island Sound.
Arthur CoIburn- the millionaire
Spice Manufacturer of PhiIadeI-
phia, His Two Daughters. and Two
Members of the Crew Drowned.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 19-The
yacht venitzfa, owned by Arthur Col
burn, the millionaire spice manufacturer
Of Philadelphia. was capsized in a squaIl
at $50 o'clock this morning. five miles
east Of Sands Point, in Long Island
Sound.
Mr. CoIburn and his two daughters,
Ida and Nettie, together with two men of
the crew five persons in all, were
drowned.
Two persons on board the yacht were
saved-NTrs- Walter J StenkIe, of Phiia-
delphia. who was on board as a guest of
Mr. CoIburn- and James Stanbridse, of
New York, the third member Of the crew
These two were picked up by the tug Ger
trude. Captain Brown. bound for New
London. and were landed at this city.
Mt Coiburn was a member Of the Cor
mtnfan Yacht Club. Of Philadelphia, and
the yachts Of this club have been on a
cruise on the sound.
1t was about five miles east OF Sands
Point that the Ve0itzia was overtaken by
the squaH. According to the survivors.
the disaster was as sudden as it was com
pIete. The little pleasure craft went down
almost before those on board knew their
danger, and, so far as the two rescued
could tell, neither Mr.. CoIburn and his
daughters nor the remaining two men of
the crew got clear of the wreck.
Captain Brown. of the New London tug
Gertrude, had just left Larchmont astern
and was passing well outside Glen Cove
on the other shore when. in the dim light
Of dawn he picked up the two persons in
distress. They wer got aboard the Ger
trude in sorry plight and such clothing
as the tug afforded was provided for Mrs
StenkIe and StanbTidge- Captain Brown
made q vain attempt to find any other
survivor OF any trace Of those VINO had
gone down with the yacht. At last he
gave it up and put in for this port
It was still early this morning when the
Gertrude arrived. Assistance was at once
obtained for Mrs Ste1kIe after the ex-
posure and distress of sIipwreck CAPTAIN
Brown telegraphed - his home Office in
New London and messages were also sent
to the home of Mr.. Colburn and the head
quarters Of the yacht cub.
It was expected here that prompt
search would be made for the bodies Of
those drowned on the yacht. The other
yachts Of the Corinthian feet appear to
have been themselves engaged in dealing
with the storm. so that their owners
learned very tardily Of the fate of the
Coiburn party II was said here that the
disaster might cause a complete aband-
onIsent of the cIuB-s present cruise
The CoTiuthian [sIub yachts sailed from
New London for Newport this morning.
