NEWS FROM LIEUT. WIL80&
The first news from Lieut. Wilsm, who
was sent to Auckland to procure ©steamer
to take the American sail -rs for hone, was
received here by the British ruai- f-war
Rapid, which arrived fr m New 2alan l
April 15. Lieu . Wilson tiflel Almiral
Kimberly that ho hid not been abl i o pro
cure a ste uner in Auckland, and w©sgoing
to S> and ey for that purjiose. He alsoitated
that he had head that ihe Ocanic B.eam
ship Com any, whose main office is iu San
Francisco hal, at. request of the navy de
partment. ordered the tearner Mariposa to
stop at Apia April 18, and take 3K) mn to
Sau Francisco. Lieut. Wilson had called
upo i the a/ents of t e Oceanic comtauy
in Auckland, but they knew nothing of tnis
report, and be di i not believe toe N ariposi
could take away a iy sailo s', as all her ac
comm dttioas had been engaged by
passengers going to Fan Francisco from
Sydney and Auckland.
UNDFR A HEAVY EXPENSE.
Admiral Kimberly stated to the Associ
ated Press o rrospondent two weeks ag
that he knew nothing whatever about the
plans of the iavv department for taking
fc e men home. He sad: “I mn oxcveil

“The inf(rm it on which I have received
from Lieut Wiis *n am -unts to uothir.g,
and I thmk the flr-t kno vledge we win
have of means f r sending the men away
will be whe t a steamer a rives from Auck

off. So far as the Mariposa is oao rned, I
don’t bel.eve s!ie will be able to

Washington, May 12. —The following

to-day:
Santa Barbara. Cal., May 11,1559.
Sec‘ e*ary of the Xavy, Waehinaton:
The trial of th*' C larleston in ide to-d if wis
a failure, owing to hi*r starboard eugin * slides
heating. There was no trouble with her port
engines. The average rev lit ons for fifteen
minutes was 107 the maximum orse-power
5.500. her spe'd 184 knots. At a speed uo to 90
revolutions the vacuum was 'Z7 incues. The
vacuum decreased as the increased, 'all

supplied steam freely.
Bknham, Com mo lore.
Secretary Tracy in speaking of the trial
sad that the word *‘fa lu e” as u j ed in the

It aid nt, he slid, ti.ean that the vessel
wa showm to unable t > fulfill the re

was due t * certain conditions which could
no doubt lie remedied easily.

Santa Barbara, Cal., May 12.—The

ad turning north again went ahead u ider
a head of sieam, maxing an avo age speed
of eighteen and one-quarter knots with n
development of 5.50) hor e power and 107

was maintained for a period
of seventeen minute*, and after
careful commutation by Ihe g *vern

on board. 1 his is the first timi that ai

HEATING OF THE SLIDE.
The starboard high pressure slide which
developed some ha ands *ots in fc 10 Kt*>el on
the <rip outwar l fr >m 8a 1 Francisco, ad
which it was hoped ha 1 been eliiniu ltd,
compelled the starboard eugin' t) lower its

was made impo si >le. The port engine con

The hi ■ ost spjnl was a tai ed u der the
