The Express says: The yacht Coro-
and % others of his Shiloh colonists,
dropped anchor in Portland Harbor
shortly after I o'clock this morning,
direct from the African coast, having
occupied lie days on the voyage from
the Cape of Good Hope and having
been absent from Portland three
years and completed a voyage around
the world.
The first to board the Coronet, after
the health and revenue officers, was Il
reporter from the Express. who was
received with q cordial handshake by
MIR. Sandford and a kindly and cour-
teous good morning."
I'VE have been away from Portland
since three years ago yesterday at one
minute past l. i'm the morning." said
Mr.. SandfOrd, land we are glad to get
back"
Can you tell the Express something
about your Itinerary" the reporter
aSkt a.
Mr.. Sanford was not quite prepared
to give out anything in regard to his
itinerary, but took the matter under
advsement, telling the reporter that
he would think the matter over and
perhaps he would give out something
about the trip at a later time.
In a general way, however. it may
be sale that the CorGnet, after leaving
Maine rounded Cape Horn. spent some
time in the waters of the Pacific, pass
ed the Cape of Good Hope, touch
ing at many points along the way,
came IN the African coast until the
latitude of Gibraltar had been reached.
then homeward bound, was headed for
the Maine coast.
How successful have been your mis-
sionary ventures?"
This question, too, Mr.. Sanford
courteously declined to answer with
out consideration.
What are Your plans for the future .
What will be your next move now that
you are in Portland?"
Mr.. Sanford laughed outright. owe

that many of his future plans had not
yet been formulated.
How many have you on board?"
"Twenty- nine."
Questioned at later point in the
interview as to the kind of weather
| the party had met with on their cruise
Mr.. Sandford said, weighing his words
very carefully.
During the 10 months that we were
on the Atlantic Ocean we had fair
weather except rounding Cape Horn
and Il little blow we encountered off
the Maine coast just now on our re-
turn. l said the Atlantic, not the 9TH

perversity, continued to return to the
subject of Mr. Sandford's future plans.
How long was the Coronet to remain
in Portland and so on. Was another
cruise to be undertaken soon or would
Mr.. Sandford remain at Shiloh?
Though evidently wearied by the vol
ley Of questions he smiled the same
smile ard with mistaken courtesy gave
the same answer: something in the
nature of information might be given
out in a few days perhaps, but he had
nothing to say at present. And all

With her death the authorities, who

General Bliss in his advance placed

dislodged all the Blue infantry of Gen.
Pew's extreme left as the advance was
made. General Bliss moved his two
brigades massed. the first under COM
mand of Brigadier General G. H. Har-
rles and the second under Colonel Dam

Regiment of Engineers and all his field
artillery.
He arrived at Eddyville, where the
highway forks to the east and north
at noon. The LIST Brigade took the
Eastern road which would have car
ried them around Pew's left end while
the I'd Brigade took the Northern
road, heading directly for Boston.
On this Northern road the Blue army
