CerS The British Bark Penrhyn Castle
cleared yesterday for Now London,
Africa, wheat laden. The Penrhyn
Castle will bo remembered as tho bark
that was towed up from San Fran
cisco tp saye the ship. Captain Evans
who ts in charge of tho bark Is quite
well known on the coast having made
several previous and always successful
trips. Tho Penrhyn Castle cleared
from Australia for Newcastle onTyne
from which port she made clearance
In eight days forSanFranclsco, where
she lay for some time and then was
compelled 10 be towed to Portland
and after 14 days here, is now loaded
and ready to sail as soon as repairs to
her windlass are made. Bon voyigo
to the gallant ship and captain.
The Inman Paulson Company seem
to consider tho yoyago of their rait to
San Francisco a success, as they have
the frame work of another already In
the water and a g-)od part of the lum
ber that is to comprise their second
raft sawed and piled on the dock.
Work on tho new custom house Is
progressing slowly and no effort Is be
ing made to secure the passage of an
ordinance permitting the laying of a
railrood track to the grounds to en
able the contracting to get on stone
and building material at tho least ex
penditure of time and money.
The people of Portland aro per
plexed and puzzled; No one knows
exactly "where he Is at." It all
comes over the curious maneuvers of
the new city administration. No
sooner was it Inaugerated than Larry
Sullivan, ward-heeler of the domi
nant forces opens an all night dance
house lu a building owned by State
Senator JosephSnuon, who is regarded
as the great factotum behind, tho
municipal throne. Then the slot
machines were reinstated In the sa
loons, and for a week Portland waB
wider open than ever before.
Then came the removal of
tho slot machines, the closing or the
dance houses, Sulllvau's Included,
also the closing of the gambling dens,
conducted by whiles and Chinese. The
white gamblers are leaving town; Sul
livan attempted to-reopen and was
promptly closed, the Chinese caucus

United States Consul Wildman Informs me that as the German
cruiser Irene, was passing Marlvelcs, off Manila, the other day, tho
United States gunboat McCulloch was sent after her to ask her to
stop. She refused to obey, and a she1 1 was sent across her bow and
a small boat went out to discover what she was doing. The German
admiral protested, and insisted that German Milps had a right to
enter the harbor without being searched, a claim which Admiral
Dewey declined to rccognlczo,
It Is reported that Admiral yon DIedrlchs, who is In command
ot the German squadron at Manila, Interviewed Captain Chichester,
of tho British cruiser Immortalite, as to what he would do If the
J Germans Interfered with the butnUrdment of Manila. Captali
