Her Life Boats Found Floating on the Ocean, HOPES OF CREW AND PASSENGERS Spain Excited Over Reported In- vasion of San Domingo. FATAL MINE SHAFT DISASTER THE NARONIC IS LOST. All Doubt Cleared Away by Finding Her Lifeboats Adrift. Barwex, March 20.—After long-continued freight steamer Naronlc, which sailed from | Liverpooi February 11 for New York and which the vessel is lost. The British steamer Coventry, Capt. Wilson, from Fernandina February 10. arrived at this port today. She reports that at 2 o'clock in the morning of March 4, when in latitude 42 north, longitude 46 west. che passed « lifeboat inted white bearing the name “Naronic. The boat was floating keel upware. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same da: another lifeboat from the Naronic was ! ‘This boat gave evidence of having encountered | heavy weather. The mast and oars of the life- | bont'had been lashed together and attached to the painter and then thrown ovesboard as a sea anchor to keep the boat's head up to the wind and sea, Judging from appearances neither of the boats had been long adrift. ‘The position of the drifting boats was south by west of Sabie {sland, on the banks of New- |foundland. ‘There is’ a chance that the occu- | pants of the boats were picked up by a passing veusel. POSSIBLY SURVIVORS OF THE NAROXIC. Livrrroot, March 20.—Officials of the White Star Line Company here have received the full | report of the steamer Coventry, which arrived at Bremen today. All doubt as to the fate of the Naronic has been dispelled |the sighting of her lifeboats. That she is now at the bottom of the ocean cannot be disputed. but the cause of the destruction 18 of course still a matter of conjecture. It may be, judging from the latitude and longitude in which the boats were seen, that the steamer | struck either a derelict or an iceberg. though it | is still rather early in the season for ice to be | adrift so far south as the banka, It bis hoped that the mystery of the loss of the steamer will soon be cleared up by the land- ing at some port of members of her cre A vessel which passed Deal today signaled that she had on board eleven shipwrecked people, and the White Star officials say there Is a strong probability that they are part of the crew of the Naronic. ‘The arrival of this vessel is eagerly awaited, as should the sbipwrecked people on board bs trom the Naronic all conjecture as to the causes be removed. ee HAS HOPE OF THE NARONIC. What the New York Agent of the White Star Line Thinks. New Yorx, March 20.—Mr. H. Maitland Ker- | sey, the New York agent of the White Star line, to which the Naronic belongs, still has hopes | that the Naronic has not gone down and sa} “The finding of the boats reported by the steamship Coventry does not in any way prove | that the Naronic is lost. A big sea may have jearried these boats overboard while the was laboring against the storm. ‘This opinion, however. is hardly borne out which show that the boats had been occupied and navigated. It is quite possible that some vesseis picked up the occupants of these boats and they will eventually be heard from, and the fate of the Naronic known, Bremex, March 20.—Capt. Wilson, the com- mander of the Coventry, states that he was not able to plainly decipher the name on the first lifeboat passed by the steamer, though there is no doubt in his mind that it was “‘Naroni ‘The boat being capsized rendered the reading of the name almost : reversed could only be seen when the ends of the boat were clear of the sea. The Coventry, as stated above, sailed from Fernandina on February 10, calling at Brunswick, Ga., and Norfolk, Va.. which latter port she ieft Febru- ary 21, just about the time the Naronic was due to arrive at New York. Capt. Wilson was therefore not aware that anything had befallen the Naronic or that she had not arrived at New York. When the Coventry came with the second lifeboat the’ name was plainly discernible. The second boat was haif filled with water. Its appearance led Cavt. Wilson to believe that its occupants had been taken on board some vessel, after which tho boat was cast adrift. call SPANISH OFFICIALS EXCITED. The Cabinet Assembled on Report of French Invasion of San Domingo. Maparp, March 20.—The cabinet met in ex- traordinary session today in consequence of a report that French troops had landed in San Domingo. ‘The question of American and French inter- ference in San Domingo continues to cause much excitement in Spanish official circles, leading Spaniards having never apparently given up the ides of re-establishing the Spanish control over the Domincian section of the isiand given up thirty years ago. Tho ministry are, it is understood, determined to resent anv aggression, either upon the part of the United States or France, in San Domingo, but the report that the French had landed troops there does not appear to have been confirmed. There are, however, important differences in the ministry, upon | various questions of finance, the colonies and ' the navy, in regard to the subject of retrench- ment in those several departments, each minis- | ter insisting that the others should economize ' and that he had not been compelled to retreuch materially. ie | ‘The government is in a straightened financial | condition and the necessity for economy is ob- | vious, but as the various ministers are reluctant to retrench and vehemently assert that their de- { partments are already carried on at the lowest | possible figure a ministerial crisis is imminent. | ‘The present cabinet, headed by Senor Sagasta, | Was sppotated only in December, but under Spanii pesaion fog, life, whether his term of service been long or short. eg DASHED TO THEIR DEATH.

Risley, nominated to be minister to Denmark, is a brother-in-law to Senator Voor- hees and a lawyer of high standing in New York as well asin this city, where he became well known through his practice before the court of Alabama claims asa member of the firm of Risley & Flagg. Mr. Risley is about forty-nine years of age. He was born in Knox county, Indiana, near Vincennes, and nearly twenty-nine years ago went to New| York where he worked bard and with great success at his profession asa lawyer. His appointment is said to be altogether due to business influence, having been recommended by the Chemical National tional Bank, Gustave Schwab and the great shipping interests of New York. He has, however, been # stanch democrat, and is grandson of Col. Harrod, the first settler in Kentucky. During the last campaign be was president of a democratic club in WestChester, but has avoided taking sides in the factional quarrels of the party in New York. He is a man of means, with a handsome country seat at New Rochelle. EX-SENATOR EUSTIS. James B. Eustis, who is named as minister to France, was Mr. White's predecessor as a Senator from the state of Louisiana in the Fifty-first Congress. He is a native of Louisiana, about fifty-nine years of age and legal abilities of the highest order. fe is a graduate of the Harvard Law School, and at the beginning of the rebellion entered the confederate service as judge advocate on the staff of Gen. Magruder. He also served in the same capacity with Gen. Joe Johnston until the end of the war, when h resumed his law New Orleans, He was a prominent figure in the reconstruction era in Louisiana, having been one of the committee which came to Washington to con- fer with President Johnson on that sub- | ject. | After six sears of service im both ches of the state legislature he was elected to the United States Senate, where he served two terms, his service expiring March 8, 1891. Since that date he has ‘engaged in the practice of his profession. SENATOR HAMPTON. Wade Hampton of South Carolina, who is to become railroad commissioner, is a well-known figure in southern history and in Washington, where he ‘erred with distinction and credit in the United States Senate twelve consecutive years, finally yieldi that post because of the antagonism of ‘the al- liance element in his nativestate. He is almost seventy-five years of age, but is stil full of force and energy. His record of service during the war of the rebellion is that of a brave soldier. He itted to remain in that »b; <_<.

The circular recently issued by Secretary Herbert requesting to be informed as to the fitness for sea service of cach of the vessels in the navy on the Ist of May next ix construed by naval off- cers to indicate iuis intention of ordering many of the vessels now on the home station to foreign waters as soon as they can be spared after the review. ‘This contemplates the division of the Pacific ocean into two stations instead of one, as at present, with headquarters at Sen Francisco and Callao respectively, and the re-establish- ment of the European station, which has been slighted for several years. As the Yantic is the only vessel at present on | the South Atisutic station there will neces- sarily be an increase in force in those waters. It is probable that Secretary Herbert will detail @ captain to command asmall squadron of three or four ships on thie coast. The North Pacific, with Hawaii, Bering sea and Samoa to be watched, and the China sta- tions, with many American interests lisely to | suffer because of hatred entertained for us by | the Chinese, are considered by navy people as the two most important squadrons at the pres- | ent time. A reinforcement of the Chine fieet will soon be in order. ‘The situation in China is viewed with no little concern by naval officers and State Department people. There are signs of threatened trouble between China and J which affords another argument in favor of © good sized American fleet on the Amatic sta tion. Shouid the European squadron be re-estab- | lished, Commodore F. M. Ramsey, the chief of the bureau of navigation, it is gener- ally believed will be selected as the command- | ing officer. It is known that he does not desire | a re-appointment to his present position when his time expires, about six months henoe. Both Rear Admiral Gherardi and Acting Rear Admiral Walker will give up sea service 13 May. The latter, it is understood, desires to be commandant of the Boston navy yard. Itisnot known what Admiral Gherardi will do, but, as the senior officer of the navy, be can get almost any shore duty he may desire. Being fond of active work, it would not be surprising if be accepted the superinténdency of the naval academy. which will become vacant in June next, when Capt, Phythian's time expires. |* Practically, a complete new deal in high navy commands will take place when these two officers relinquish rea service in Mav next. As Rear Ad- wiral Benham will have only about a year more to serve, it is not in probable that he will be assigned to the North Atlantic squadron, ‘Commodore Meade will also be given the com- mand of @ squadron at an early day. His name is mentioned in connection with the roposed new Sout ic station, though Eommodore Erben is above ‘him in order for sea service. Should Admiral Ben- bam be directed to earry out the original orders assigning him to the command of the South Atiantic station, it is ‘that one of the two commodores named will suc- ceed to the command of the North Atlantic station. | Marriage Licenses. | Marriage licenses have been issued by the | clerk of the court to the following: Lafayette Mount and Louisa Armstrong; Henry Dixon and Nellie Baldwin; George P.
