WesternIand, From Liverpool For
Philadelphia, on Cape May shoals.
CAPE MAY, n. j., June 12.-With
more than a thousand persons on
board. the American line steamship
Westernland, from Liverpool and
Queenstown for Philadelphia, ran
aground on the South shoals, near the
entrance to Delaware bay. The shoals
are about four miles off Cape May
shore. Strong hope is entertained that
the steamer will be floated with the
assistance of tugs on the next high
tide.
The Westernland was steaming un-
der full Roadway when the shoals
were struck. The engines were re-
versed but the vessel was so hard
aground that it was impossible to back
of
The Westernland is plainly visible
from the Cape May beach.
Life saving crew No. 40, under Cap
tain James w. Eldridge, went out to
the steamer and is standing by to give
assistance If found necessary.

OAKLAND. Cal, June II. Efforts of
seventy-hve insurance companies hold
ing risks in San Francisco to induce
all companies to make n uniform cut
of % per cent on the face value of all
policies in the way of settlement
with policy holders has failed through
the fundamentally and objections of
three of the largest insurance incorpor-
atoms interested. These three com
panies not only refused to come into
the scheme. but declared that such
methods would eventually discredit In
surance underwriting on the Pacific
coast and that such policy would
prove more expensive to the compa
MES than If they should pay the fil
