FATE OF AMERICA
 IS STILL IN DOUBT
VESSEL FROM MARsEILLEs IS NEARLY TWO WEEKS OVERDUE AND APPREHENsloNs FOR HER SAFETY ARE ACUTE.

New York, July 3.-No news of any kind has yet been received of the Fabre line steamer America, which sailed from Mar seilles June for thls city, carrying no passengers and 40 men comprising the crew Apprehension for the safety of the steamer was expressed in shipping cir cles today.
 The steamers agents, however, explain that she likely has become disabled by breakdown of her machinery. or the loss of her propeller.
 It was reported June Il that the steamer left the Azores and she should have come into port here in nine days with good weather. Twenty-one days have passed and no vessel arriving from Mediterra- mean ports has sighted the America. The Germania a steamer of the same line. coming from Palermo and Marseilles, coming over the same track, reported on her arrival here last Friday that she had seen nothing of the America To- day the Madonna, also of the same line. came into port from the Mediterranean, but nothing of the America was seen on the trip.
 The anxiety as to the fate of the steam ship was increased today when it was learned from the Photographic bureau that a derelict had been for some time directly in the path which the America would take after leaving the Azores. It is the dismasted steamer Lizzie Chadwick which was reported in latitude s. longi- tude 38 on June ', a point about 400 miles due west from the Azores, and d. rectly on the course to New York.
 The Chadwick was abandoned off the coast of the United States on March I, in latitude S7, longitude 6S on her way from Jacksonville, Fla, to New York. She has been drifting steadily east with the current of the stream at the rate of IS miles a day ever since, having cov- cred a total of about 1500 miles.
 She has been all this time directly in the path of steamships sailing to and from Mediterranean ports, and although she has been three times reported. no effort has been made to destroy her. At the time she was seen, she was dismasted and law low in the water.
 The Maratime Register in reporting her said that she was in position dangerous to navigation.
