and Loot from Steamer.
TRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. !

San Francisco. July 21-Advices from China by
way Of Honolulu say that Sam Cho the wealthy
Honolulu Chinese who captured by Canton
River pirates has been released. He was seized
while going up the river in a passenger vessel to
his home and the pirates demanded $4,000 for his
ransom. They also looted the steamer and took
a large amount of goods to their mountain head
quarters
Sam Cho's friends made such powerful repre-
sentations to the French and American consuls
at Canton that the former called on the governor
of the province to hunt down the pirates while
the latter sent the gunboat Callao up the river
The troops reached the pirates first and after a
lively fight the bandits fed, leaving their pris-
oners and loot behind.
Sam Cho recovered $500 from the province for
his capture and detention. He is an American
citizen and the richest Chinese in Hawaii He
was naturalized in Hawaii by Kalakaua. with
whom he was a favorite. and when the islands
became part of the United States he acquired
citizenship.

ETHIOPIA MET BIG ICEBERGS.
Many Passengers Ill for Entire Trip-0ne
Dies-Carpenter Lost.

When the Ethiopia, of the Anchor Line, whose
long voyage from Glasgow caused anxiety in her
home port arrived here yesterday after being out
eighteen days. it learned that she had en-
countered other peris than the gales of the North
Atlantic On March more than one hundred ice
bergs were sighted The largest were one hundred
feet high and about three hundred feet long There
was great quantity of field ice AS far as the eye
could see to the north from the bridge the ocean
was covered with solid pack ice. Enormous bergs
dotted it here and there. 1t is believed that the
strong northwest winds. which have prevailed
this winter persiStently than usual, have
driven the ice south earlier than usual.
The Ethiopia's voyage was rough one, almost
from beginning to end She averaged only twenty
knots day for the first five days after leaving
port One passenger. d woman. when asked yes
terdav if it had been rough, said
WAS the weather bad? | don't know did not
get up until yesterday morning. There were many
some of us did not whether we remained afoat
not.
The ship was unnjured by her conflict but she
hore elouIlent scars on her hull in the shape of
patches Of rusty iron. Many of the passengers
imped as they came down the gangWay. They
had been tumbcd over by the pitching of the ship
and bruised.
On February %. when the ship was out only two
days Robert Draper the carpenter, went to look
after the steering gear. Soon after. he was re-
ported missing II was supposed that he had been
lost overheard. On March {. one of the stormiest
Brockton, Mass, seventy-one years old. who was
with her SON. Robert McCullach. died from heart
disease. She had been i'll for several days. Her
body buried at sea.
