Few Addresses Known.

New York. June 12-Most of the first
cabin passengers on board the Slavonis
are believed to have come from the
west and south. Few of the addresses
are known to the agents Of the line IN
this city.
Most dangerous reefs surround Flores
island. which is Of volcanic origin.
The steamer Batavia and the Slavo-
mia left New York on the same date,
and the Princess Irene left two days
later. The Slavonia IS comparatively "a
new ship having been launched only
six years ago, and is one Of the great
immigrant carriers Of the line. Captain
A. G. Dunning. her commander, has
been in the service twenty years anC
never before had any such trouble.
The Princess Irene, which left New
York June 3, went out Of port with q
full passenger list. and while the addi-
ton Of 110 passengers from the SlavOnia
will crowd her accommodations, the dis
comfort VIII not be for long, as she
should reach Gibraltar Sunday night
or Monday morning.
The Batavia has better accOmmOda-
tons for intermediate ana sreeragC
passengers than has the Princess Irene.
and this is probably why the second
and third-class passengers were trans
ferred to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. liner.

Pekin, June 12.-The fact that the
United States has protested to the gov
eminent of China in the matter of the
British, German and French loan to
he Chinese government Of S27 500, 900 to
finance the HankOw-Sze Chuen rail-
road, has caused considerable annoy
ance to the representatives of the Eu-
ropean bankers concerned. It also has
resulted in pOstpOning the imperial
sanction TO the signing of the loan by
five days at least, and possibly longer.
protocol of the final agreement was
executed June by representatives of
the banks concerned and the railroad
officials.
Grand Councillor Chang Chih Lung
said that China would willingly consid-
er American offers. but that he under
stood Americans did not desire to par
ticipate in the loan. and that in any
event it was too late to do SO.
Mr.. Fletcher has taken up with
Chang the question of securing a post
ponement of the imperial sanction to
the loan pending the arrival here of the
representatives of certain American
capitalists.

London, June Tnfatuation for A.
G. Vanderbilt caused Mary Agnes Ruiz
to kill herself"
Thus declares LIOyd's Weekly. in dis
cussing the mysterious case of the
American woman who committed sui
eide in this city on May 16. Other pa
pers devote much space to the case.
They lay particular stress on the sup
preston of the news of the inquest and
her relations with an American multi
millionaire.
Lloyd's Weekly insists that the Eng
fish reporters at the inquest were bTibed
to refrain from mentioning the case.
Reynolds newspaper says that extraor-
binary efforts were made TO prevent
the staff at the private hospital where
Mrs. Ruiz died. for hours after. the
shooting. from discussing the case, and
that the servants of the Grosvenor
street house were hurried to Paris.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt cannot be found
in London. He has not appeared at the
horse show since the papers first men
toned the suicide on Thursday.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
suicide while Of unsOund mind"

settled the affairs and paid a large staff
at Mrs. Ruiz's establishment, was the
first witness at the inquest. He iden-
titled the body, and testified that he
had acted as her agent. She was the
wife of a wealthy Cuban, from whom
she had separated. Lately, he said, she
had been in i'll health and depressed,
and had declared that she was tired of
life
Miss Elizabeth Caney, the compan-
ion of Mrs. Ruiz since last January,
testified that Mrs. Ruiz had been very
depressed at time. and took tablOids for
insomnia. She kept a revolver, accord
ing to the witness. who further stated
that her mistress was looking very i'll
on the evening of May Is. Miss Caney
declared that she had no idea that Mrs.
Ruiz had shot herself until the doctor
arrived.
DR.. J. p. Sutton testified that he
found that Mrs. Ruiz had been shot in
the breast A revolver with one empty
chamber was lying on the bed. Serv-
ants testified that they heard no shot.
There was no doubt whatever that the
case was one Of suicide.
