TOOK THE WRONG COURSE.
The Orient Steam Navigation Co.. IS
Steamer Lusitania On the Rocks
Off Cape Ballard.
The VESSEL MAY PROVE TOTAL WRECK
The Passengers, Mostly Emigrants,
Landed After Panicky Time
An UncOnhrmed Report that One
BOatIOad was Upset and Twenty
People Drowned.

ST. Johns,N. F. June 27.-The Orient
Steam Navigation Co.'S steamer Lusi-
tania, Capt. McNay, from Liverpool,
June IS, for Montreal having 500 pas
sengers on board, was wrecked Tues
day night off Cape Ballard.
The Lusitania was bound round
Cape Race for Montreal, with a large
cargo and a shipload of passengers.
She mistook her course in dense
fog and went ashore near Renews, 20
miles north of Cape Race, before day
break. The ship ran over reef and
hangs against cliff. The passengers,
who are mostly emigrants, were panic
stricken. They stampeded and fought
for the boats, but were overcome by
the officers and crew. The rougher
element among the passengers used
knives. The women and children
were first landed and the men fol-
lowed The crew stood by the ship.
A heavy sea was running, but at lat
est advices the Lusitania was holding
her own. 1t was thought likely, how
ever, that she would prove a total
wreck.
The disaster occurred miles from
the nearest telegraph station and
the details obtainable at this time
are meagre. Several steamers are
fitting out here to go to the scene OF
the wreck. It is expected that the
large cargo of the Lusitonia will be
salyaged.
As this dispatch is being sent an
unconfirmed report has reached here
that a boatload of people from the
Lusitania was upset and that 20 per-
sons were drowned.
Cape Ballard as cabled from st.
Johhs,is situated on the coast of New
foundland, about sixty miles south OF
st. Johns.
The Lusitania was butt at Liver
pool, by Laird Brothers, in 1871. She
is $40 feet inches long, has Al feet
3 inches beam, and is 27 feet inches
deep.

TALY PAYS No BOUNTY.
Official Statement From the Italian
Government to the State
Department.
ITALY DOESN'T PAY BOUNTY ON SUGAR.
The Statement Comes as an Answer
to Secretary Cages Order sus-
pending the Liquidation of Sugar
Accounts with Italy Pending In
vestigatiOn.

Washington, June 27.-An official
statement from the Italian govern
ment has been communicated to the
state department to the effect that
Italy paid no export bounty on sugar.
This action by the Italian authorities
follows eight days from the issuance
of Secretary Cages treasury order
suspending the liquidation of all su-
gar imported from or produced in
Italy, on the ground that the treas
ury had information leading to the
belief that Italian sugar received a
bounty.
Mr.. Cages order was dated June
II. The action of the Italian govern
ment was communicated by cable to
the Italian embassy here, and was
made known to the acting secretary
of state, DR.. Hill, by Mr.. Carignani,
the Italian charge d'affaires.
Mr.. Cages circular did not state
positively that Italy paid an export
bounty, but said that it appeared
highly probable that this was the
case, and, accordingly, the liquidation
of sugar accounts with Italy were sus-
pended pending further investigation
The declaration now made by the
Italian government does not appear
to be with any view of raising a sharp
issue, but rather to make known in
explicit and official language that
Italy does not pay this bounty on SUI
gar. The treasury order recites: In
view of the information thus far re-
ceived as to the operation of the law
of Italy, now in force, that sugar pro-
duced in that country receives indi-
rect export bounty as follows
Sugar below 20 Dutch standard,
500 francs per 100 Kilograms.
Sugar No. 20 Dutch standard, 6.13
francs per 100 Kilograms.
Pending further investigation of
the matter, the liquidation of all su-
gars imported from or produced in
Italy shall be suspended, and the du-
ties shall be estimated in amount suf-
fcient to cover additional duties equal
to the above specified duties.
From the standpoint of the Italian
authorities the foregoing order doubt
less was preliminary to one putting
into effect the differential rates
against Italian sugar, and in conse-
quence the Official declaration is now
submitted to the state department
that Italy pays no bounty on her su-
gar.

Antecedents of the Two Men Under
Arrest In Chicago.
Kansas City, Mo-, June 26.-Warren
W. Stoner and Conklin Jones, under
arrest in Chicago on a charge of ut
tering and passing bogus drafts, are
well known in Kansas City. Stoner
formerly kept a livery stable here
and Jones is known as professional
gambler.
Stoner lived in Kansas City for sew
eral years, coming here from Ken
lucky. He is married and had two
children. He once owned "Donogh,"
a well known trotter. In August,
1899, Stoner raced "Donogh" against
Direction" the record trotter, at
Liberty, Mo-, and was threatened with
summary treatment by the crowd be-
cause, 1t was alleged, he had deliber-
ately fouled Direction. The latter
was awarded the race and Stoner
made an offer to match Do
nogh against Direction for $1,000. The
challenge was not accepted. Stoner
was left 100000 by his father, In
Kentucky, and is credited with having
squandered 1t in the past four years.
He spent 10000 in one month in Kan
sas City and two months ago, at the
Latonia race meet, he is said to have
spent $1,000 in six days. This is said
to have been the last of his fortune.
