Phillips, United States local Inspectors at San Francisco, have sent to General supervising Inspector general of steam vessels, their official report of the Collma disaster. It reads: "We have to report that the Pacific Mail Steamship company Colima, J. F. Taylor, commander, hence May 18 last for Panama and way- ports In Mexico and Central America, with forty-one cabin and eighty-two steerage passengers, a crew of eighty persons all told, and 1,950 tons of cargo, foundered In a violent gale of wind al about 10:45 o'clock a. m.

May 27 aboui forty miles south from 'Manzanilla. taking down with her all who were on board, excepting, so far as known twenty-seven passengers and twelve ol the crew who were fortunate enough tc have been able to struggle and save themselves by swimming and clinging to floating wreckage. We have investigated the matter of this most dfeplora- ble disaster, taking the testimony of a nuiwber of the surviving passenger! and crew, including that of Third Officer Hansen, who is the only officei saved, and also of others who were competent to speak of the vessel herself We find from the testimony that nothing unusual occurred on' the voyage from San Francisco to the wayports ol Mazatlan, Sanblaza and Manzanills In Mexico and that she gave no evidence nor any indication whatever ol going cranky and tender from the time she left San Francisco and crossed the bar, which was rough until the morning she was lost. The Collma left Manzanilla at 4 o'clock on May 26. A strong breeze sprang up at 6 o'clock a.

from east by southeast with southeast swell, and continued throughout the night till the morning of May 27, -when it blew a gale, which at about 10:36 o'clock the same morning suddenly increased to what is described as a hurricane and in which the steamer knocked down on her beam end and filled and sank. "From the evidence there appears to have been no danger anticipated until five or ten minutes before the ship went down. It appears that there was good discipline maintained on the deck and in the engine departments, all orders having been obeyed, and we therefore can attach no blame to Third Officer Hansen. "Captain Taylor was in charge of the bridge of his steamer all the morning of May 27 until she foundered; and it may TKCVe to keep her off before the sea', 'or to' wear her around on the other tack when she was caught In the trough of the sea and thrown on her beam ends. Bu without his testimony or that of his first officer and the chief engineer the steamer it is impossible to decidi the true cause of the disaster.

"With regard to the steamer Colima j- can be no doubt that she was a staunch and seaworthy vessel. She was Inspected March 15, 1895, and her hull boilers and equipments found to be in good order." The report concludes by stating that the number of lives lost so far as known with any degree of certainty is eighty- five passengers and sixty-eight crew. 1 WHISKY TRUST SALE, HIS GRAVE NEGLECTED, Millionaire Sleeps Under A Rnnlr Orowt.li at Iowa Falls, July neglect of the Wisner burial lot In the Union cemetery at this place has attracted much attention and created considerable comment.

IB, BLOOD IN BOSTON, Washington, July Pierce M. B.

Young, the United States minister to Guatemala, who spent a few days In Washington on leave, speaks en" thuslastlcally of the country of his assignment. "Guatemala," he says, "offers greater Inducements to an agriculturist than any other country on earth. At a time when corn is selling for 60 cents a bushel In the United States, It may be of Interest to the American farmer to know that the same product In Guatemala frequently sells for as much as $6, and, at times, $8 a bushel. This, of course, is in silver, which is worth about one half as much as gold. All classes of live stock also command high prices in Central America.

There is a great demand for pigs, and dealingse In hog products are enormously profitable." "Would you advise American farmers to emigrate to Guatemala?" "There Is no question that the American farmer could live in comparative affluence in Central America. There are, however, other things to be considered. The conditions of living are not so comfortable as they are with us. Labor is scarce and hard to obtain, but one's own labor is many times more remunerative than here." Good for S3O nn Acre. "What can farming land be bought for? Does the government give to each settler a homestead as in this country?" "There is no free land in Guatemala, but the best land, lying within plain sight of the large cities, can be bought at comparatively low prices.

Within a few miles of the city of Guatemala the richest land in the world can be purchased for $50 an acre. At a distance of ten miles from the capital it is sold for $20 an acre, and a little farther away it can be bought for half that price. This land will produce from GO to 100 bushels of corn to the acre, and if It were worked by Americans, using our modern machinery, it would probably yield twice that amount. "An American farmer who would locate in Guatemala with a few thousand dollars would have his future assured. It would be well to take a few American laborers with him and work them with the Indians, who perform the greater part of in the republic.

AIT American farm hand can find ready employment at $25 a month in gold, In addition to his keep. Guatemala has made wonderful progress in the last decade." "What is the outlook in Guatemala for American mechanics?" "Carpenters, as a rule, find ready employment. Guatemala is now building two lines of railway, one from Porl Barrios on the Atlantic to the capital, and another from Champico on the Pacific, running 4 up in the Interior, where the extensive coffee plantations of the future will be found. Coffee Raising; IK I'rontable. "Coffee raising is enormously profitable.

But it takes a large capital to engage in the coffee business. It requires several year for trees to develop, and one cannot buy a good plantation that is already bearing well for less than $25,000 in gold. The money in Guatemala that can be made by pool men is in the raising of live stock and (tone will 13o Held In conntft Are Overdrawn.

Chicago, July has been declared on the Greek and Italian' fruit peddlers, and the attack on the humble street merchants will be conducted by the most gigantic combination of fruit i (dealers ever formed.

In order to exclude the fruit peddlers the Fruit Buy- association has incorporated a new concern, and is holding a secret meeting today for the purpose of perfecting arrangements for opening of a new auction house under their own control.

James J. Corbett, under the assumed name of Mrs. Boate, she grew indignant, and at first refused to say a word. Finally, when asked as to the interview which had gone out, she said: "I want you people to'under- stand that I am not, Mrs. Corbett, and that report about my being here to secure a divorce from James Corbett is false and ridiculous.

If the people ask you who I am, tell them that I am Mrs. Thomas Boate, and while I am. here for a divorce I am not Gentleman Jim's wife. I will tell you In a few days who T. am, I am.

nicely located here and like my surroundings, and am perfectly satisfied with the country." It is likely that in a few days there will be another chapter of the whole affair.
