AUCKLAND, Aug. 15. The American
Atlantic fleet departed for Sydney this
moraine at 8:15. The weather, was fine
and large crowds were ashore and afloat
to bid farewell to the Americans. Ex
cursion craft loaded to the rails dotted
the harbor.
As anchors were hotsted and the flag
ship pointed her nose toward the mouth of
the harbor pandemonium reigned. The
, shore batteries belched forth their parting
salutes, which were answered by the
American ships and the whistles and si
rens on the excursion fleet resounded
across the harbor and were re-echoed by
the distant hills. The American ships
were kept busy dipping their flags in
answer to the salutations of the New Zea
landers. The fleet steamed with precision of
alignment out of the harbor and many of
the excursion craft followed It far out to
sea.
Cordial Farewell Messages.
Cordial farewell messages were ex
changed between Rear Admiral Sperry,
commatider of the American battleship
fleet, and the New Zealand authorities.
Sir Joseph Ward, the Premier, voicing
the sentiments of the people of the
dominion, said:
"Your all too-short visit to New
Zealand unquestionably has drawn the
people of the United States and this
dominion closer together."
The message concludes with the fol
lowing words in the Maori language:
"Kla ora aroha," which means, "Good
luck and love."
Admiral Sperry in reply said the re
ception accorded the battleship fleet
at Auckland had been hearty and cor
dial beyond bis expectations and that
It would unite in closer bonds the two
white races whose Interest in the Pa
cific were identical.
Premier Leads Cheering.
The eight when the ships left their
anchorage was magnificent, the flagship
Connecticut turning and steaming between
the lines of battleships which turned In
order and followed her to sea.
Sir Joseph Ward and a large number of
officials were aboard a Government
steamer and, as every battleship passed.
Fir Joseph led in the rousing cheers for
the Americans.
The battleship Kentucky, which was the
last n line, responded lustily with cheers
for New Zealand and the bands on both
vessels played the British and American
national anthems and "Auld Lang Syne,"
Crowd Defends Sailors.
The American sailors have won the
unstinted praise of the people of
Auckland for their behavior while
here. Thousands of men have been
ashore day after day and there was no dis
turbance of the peace. There was, how
ever, an Incident last night which showed
the sympathies of the Auckland people
with the sailor men ashore. The patrol
of the fleet were engaged In rounding up
stragglers and getting them back on
board and a crowd was watching the op
erations. At one stage of the proceedings
the people came to the conclusion that
the patrol were handling some drunken
sailors too roughly. They, threatened the
patrol, who were obliged to draw their
revolvers. At this moment the local po
lice arrived, drove the crowd back and es
corted ' the patrol and their prisoners to
the wharf.
The cutter race between vessels of the
fleet for the Battenburg cup was rowed
In the harbor yesterday. The Louisiana
crew led the start and finished five
lengths ahead of the nearest competitors.
Admiral Sperry last evening entertained
a distinguished party of New Zealanders
on board the battleship Connecticut.
Among those present were Lord Plunkltt,
Governor of New Zealand, and Sir Joseph
Ward, the Premier.

Late Ira D. Sankey, Who Died
Yesterday.
W. Leman. discharged the receiver and
cancelled his bond.
The Mexican Southeastern Railroad
Company was organized In 1896 In New
Mexico with a capital of J10,000,000 to build
a road In Mexico from San Geronlmo to
Guatemala as a part of the proposed
Inter-Continental Railroad system. When
the Spanish-American War came on the
company could not sell its bonds and Its
concession from the Mexican government
became forfeited, but a large amount of
construction had Involved the company In
over $1,000,000 of net liabilities.
Samuel W. Allerton, the well-known
capitalist, of Chicago, was treasurer of
the company and a large stockholder.'
Various test suits were brought against
him and practically all the litigation was
the result of an organized effort to make
him pay all the company's liabilities. The
case has been bitterly fought on both
sides.
In his exhaustive final report the re
ceiver regretfully Informs the court, that,
if he had been successful In the contests
with Allerton he would have enough as
sets In 'his possession to pay all the cred
itors in full. W. D. Washburn, of Chi
cago, Mr. Allerton's lawyer, who has
conducted the defense, declares the whole
matter ended.
