steamer Roseville, and says: "At noon
of November 26, when towing the Rose
ville, eighty miles off Port Manzinello we?
sighted a wreck bottom up. We went,
close to it and lowered a boat. I went
to the wreck myself and succeeded in.
getting on her bottom first and taking
possession. I saw ner name auu iuan,.
I think they are still standing. She i&
the Brig Tahiti ; I am perfectly sure of
that. I spent two hours on bottom.

her to Manzinello. The 'lahiti looked
as if she had been botom up for amontn.
Her rudder was gone and there was no
sign of a living creature."

considerable money, giving his note in
security. He also contracted large bills
for various articles at the stores in the-
city. For the goods he gave drafts on

and his father refuses to honor them,
saying that his son is 21 years old and
legally capable of contracting bills oa,
his own account.

mand that the decree of expulsion be
withdrawn, yet, nevertheless, the Bul
garian minister of finance is going to "
