Consul Hoare.Has
No Word of the
Condor.

r. HE OVERDUE Condor was the
main topic of conversation among
water-fronters yesterday and the
prevalent opinion seems to be that she
ran into the center of a storm and
failed to weather it. a quantity of mail
for the British slcop of war is lying at
the Postofice. British Consul Hoare
stated yesterday that he had received
no official news regarding the vessel
from Esquinalt. He expects an answer
to his telegram of inquiry on the next
steamer from San Francisco. The Brit
ish cruiser Phaeton has been dispatch
ed in search of the Condor, and there is
a possibility that she may prosecute
her search as far as Honolulu.
