land In Depleted.

New York, June 23.-About three
tons of silver coin of the United States
was shipped from this city Saturday
for Porto Rico, in payment of bonds
just purchased by a banking house
with branches in that island.
Heretofore, when bills and bank
notes were shipped to the island they
disappeared very rapidly. For some
time the disappearance of paper
money WAS a mystery. Finally, 1t was
discovered that the people OF Porto
Rico were Just beginning to find it
handy to send paper currency through
the mails, especially when it was de-
sired to send small amounts out of the
island. In this way the currency sup
ply was being depleted constantly and
the bankers determined to try silver
coin, in the belief that it will take a
good deal in postage to send it all out
of the country in letters and may dis
courage the practice.

FIRE IN MID OCEAN.
CAPTAIN and Crew of British vessel
Have Hard StrugSle-NaLuable
Cargo Lost.

San Francisco, June 23.-That the
British ship Monkbarns, which has ar
rived here, $40 days from Liverpool,
ever reached her destination is due to
the gallant fight against fire made for
four days and nights by Capt. Nc
Medley and his crew.
The Monllbarns left Liverpool jan
nary %. All went we'll until February
81, when at 1880 a. m. smoke was dis
covered coming out of the ventilators
leading to the forehold. An investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the cargo
was on fire. Four holes We're cut in
the deck and water was pumped on the
blazing merchandise until the flames
were subdued sufficiently to allow
sailors to descend into the hold, fix
tackle to the smoldering bales and
hoist them to the deck, from which
they were promptly thrown over
board.
Nearly all the cargo in the forward
hold was iettisoned before the fire
was eNtinguished. Little harm was
done to the hull of the ship. The cargo
jettisoned and in which the fire start
ell by spontaneous combustion, it IL
thought, consisted of oakum, felt and
chemicals.
