Washington, Sept. 6.—The follow ing dispatch, received this afternoon, gives some particulars of the wreck of the transport Morgan City: “Nagasaki, Sept 5.—Adjutant-Gen eral, Washington: The transport Morgan City, under guidance of an ex perienced pilot, struck a reef on the inland sea, eight miles from Ononuchi and 250 miles from Nagasagi, about 4 a. m., September 1. She backed off at daylight. Tlie vessel filled rapidly; was beached and all were saved. The officers and crew did splendid work. Have telegraphed to Kobe for food, and am sending a wrecking crew, vessel and food from here. Cargo almost all lost. Can you send me a transport from Manila. American money ie good here only, hence the delay. “CARTER, Quartermaster.” General Otis cabled Minister Buck for particulars, and notified tiie de partment that the Ohio would be sent to Nagasaki. The government suffers no great loss in the wreck of the Morgan City, eave that of time, as she was a chartered vessel and the owners are the.losers. A Total Wreck. London, Sept. 6.—According to a dispatch to tlie Daily Mail from Kobe, Japan, the Morgan City is a total wreck. BOER WAR PARTY In Control of AfTalr« in the Transvaal — Peace Ia Considered Hopeless. Landon, Sept. 6.—The Johannesburg correspondent of the Standard says: “I learn from an official, who has been earnestly striving for peace, that tne mattei ie now hopeless. The Boers will probably declare war at 48 hours’ notice, and will 'try to raid Natal be fore the British troops arrive. I be lieve the Orange Free State will join the Transvaal, but that the Boers in Natal and Cape Colony will remain quiet at the outset, unless irritated by the dismissal of tiie Cape Colony cabi net. “The Boers have the fullest confi dence in their magazine rifle and their skill in marksmanship. State Attorney Smuts is the chief inciter of tlie war party. Thirty thousand men in the Transvaal and 20,000 in the Orange Free State will take the field.” The Times prints a letter from the bishop of Pretoria, appealing for funds to relieve the terrible distress caused by tlie protracted tension and the fears of war. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Delagoa Bay says the refugees from Barberton declare that they were warned to leave, as the f oers intended to cordon the district. There are nu merous dispatches giving rumors as to war plans and preparations, the probable attitude of the natives and possible developments. AFFAIRS IN BRAZIL. Sale of a Large Tract to the German Government. Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 6. — Notice has been received from Berlin that tiie Duke of Saxe has sold to the German government, lands in Santa Catherine, estimated at over 1.000 square leagues. The minister of tlie exterior lias con cluded conferences with the Bolivian minister about Acre, the territory claimed by Brazil and Bolivia, tlie in habitants of which recently claimed their independence and constituted a new South American commonwealth. The government has ordered that mu- nitons of war lie sent with all haste from Bahia to Para. Three gunboats will ascend the river Para above Acre in a few days. Rear-Admiral Howison and the offi cers of the United States cruisers Chi cago and Montgomery visited Petrópo lis Saturday and Sunday, where they were entertained at the United States legation. The resignation of the Argentine ministers is regarded as a condemna tion of tl:e policy of General Rocas re garding Brazil and the delivery of the missions treaty. SEVEN WERE DROWNED.

Halifax, N. 8., Sept. 6.—A sailboat was sunk tonight near the mouth of Halifax harbor, and several lives were lost, tlie victims belonging to this city.
