Danger.

New York, July 3.The Morgan line
steamer Comus, New York for New Or
leans, sent wireless message early last
evening reporting the steamer Sioux on
fire off Banegat. The German tank
steamer Sioux, 3,049 tons, Captain
Lotze, sailed from New York yesterday
for Tuxpan, Mexico.
Atmospheric conditions We're so dis
turbed that only the most powerful
wireless stations here we're able to catch
the original messages from the Comus
and two hours later nothing further was
heard from her or from other vessels
near the point where the Sioux was re-
ported burning.
When word first came from the Comus
the local fire boat service was promptly
notified and the tireboat New Yorker
went out at full speed.
Word regarding the Sioux finally came
by wireless. The message was from the
United Fruit steamer, Santa Marta,
nearing this port from Colon, and re-
ported that she had been notified by the
Sioux that the fire was under control
and that the tank steamer was in no
further need of assistance.

mentioned for the Office but no appoint
ment has yet been made. Mr. Morgan
