New York. The Times dispatch from
Washington says: Later stories irom

inconvenience and distress caused thi

there is no probability of this belri
done generally for a considerable lesg
of time. Commodore 0Ne:il. chief
the ordnance bureau, said the burea
had placed very large orders with prj
vate firms for smokeless powders, an
that large amounts of it were bein
shipped to Santiago. It would take
lunge time, the commodore said, to sut
ply all the ships, and in view of th
quantities of ammunition likely to t
ust-d there it would be difficult, wit
the present facilities for nianufacturin

hold out that the navy would be ab
to use smokeless powder generally I

Marblehead are supplied with the ne

Berlin. The remarkable speech de
livered by the United Slates ambas
sador. Mr. Andrew D. White, at the
ourtn or July celebration by Ameri
cans at Leipsic on Monday last, has
aiviaea tne attention of the German
press ail week equally with the latest
developments of the war tet ween Spain
and the United States. The speech is
universally characteristic as a co.iiical
enunciation of prime importance. The
attendant circumstances, too. were of
an unusual character.
Mr. White, in an interview with the
correspondent here of the Associated
tress, said:
Never in my life have I seen such a
scene of fraternization of Americans
and Britons. The flrgs of both were in
tertwined around the hall, and a number
of prominent Tngllshmen residing In
Germany were present. The toast. 'To
tr.e resident of the United States,
was received with tremendous enthusi
asm by every one present."
The reception by the German news
papers of Mr. ".Vhite's speech varied
greatly. Many of the papers sup
pressed those portions of the ambas
sadors remarks which were unfavor
able to Germany or Germans. Others
pretended to be ttnaware of any sys
tematic unfriendliness toward the
United States on the part of the Ger
mans. The Post of this city, in addi
tion to admitting a few days ago that
the speech would materially help to
dispel the unfriendly filling which
threatened to arise between the Ameri
cans and Germans, promises to co-operate
with Mr. White in establishing
better teeiine between the two nations.
The government press thus far has been
mute, but the cortespondent of the
Associated Press here leains that the
government will tske an early oppor
tunity to rerer to the speech of the
United States ambassador.
A remarkable article has appeared in
the Deutsche Zeitung, the leading organ j
oi me nin-uermin party. Alter ap
proving of Mr. Whites speech and re
minding the Americans of the past close
lelations between the two countries,
the paper asks:
How lias the United States treated
us in return? Hw has she thanked us
for past favors during the last decade?
The United States throughout has been
unfriendly to us in its economic, com
mercial and political coutse, and has

JREET NEW YORK SOLDIEHS
Omaha People Gave Them a Warm
Reception.
Omaha. Excepting only the memor
able farewell given to the Omaha Guard
and the Thurston Rifles, the most not
able reception given by Omahans to
any military companies ol regiments
was that at the station of the Union
Pacific railroad Saturday when
First regiment of New York volunts.-r
infantry passed through the city en
route to San Francisco. Over t.Gj
citizens, a large majority of whom
were fair women, greeted the New
Yorkers most cordially, served them
with substantial refreshments, decor
ated them with flowers and sent them
westward with many heartfelt god
speed.
The program arranged by Mayor
Frank E. Moores and other loyal cltl-
sens was well carried out. and though
it was at night before the last section
of the regiment pasted through the
city, none of the soldiers were allowed
to leave the station unreminded of the
good will of the pec pie of Exposition
city. At the blowing of the big whistle
of the Bemis Bag company shortly be
fore t o clock, the citizens of all sec
tions were notified that they had on
nour to get to the railway station
and welcome the eastern soldier boys.
They responded numerously and
quickly. They came from as many sec
tions of the city as the shrill blasts of
the powerful whistle penetrated, and
that term included the streets of all
sections and of all nations. From all
quarters the people came, and hardly
a one that did not bring some token
of regard for the Empire state vol
unteers. By 5 o clock the crowd at
Tenth and Mason streets had com
pletely overrun both of the railway
stations and the extensive platforms
between them. The early comers
picked out points of vantage on the
colonades and balconies of the Burling
ton s new depot. The east side of
ne Tenth street viaduct was soon
rowded with an animated throng. The
roof of the Union Pacific station was
easily climbed, and the tops of frieght
cars and coaches standing about were
and ran about In a panic. They sot!0'50 made to hold several hundred

were loosening them.
Before the boats could be got from
the davits and ready to launch the
ship lurched to starboard, throwing the
passengers overboard. The slant of the
deck was so steep that passengers
could not stand upon it. The passen
gers of the first class cabin had rushed
out of their rooms to the port side
of the ship and against the protests of
the sailors clambored Into the six
boats there.
A list to starboard made the big
boats swing on the Inward and turned
the davits back against the sides or
the cabins. The sailors implored the
passengers to leave the boats and In
some rases tried to force them out.
that the boats might be lifted up. The
paFsengers could not be induced to
leave the boats, as a crowd of steerage
passengers appeared ready to take their
places. The sailors heaved away at
them and could not budge them and
gave up In despair.
THREE BOATS ARE SMASHED.
On the starboard side three boats
were smashed by the Cromartyshire in
the collision. Boat No. 7 was filled with
women and other passengers and had
been launched successfully, when the
big funnel fell, crushing the boat and
killing most of those in it.

steerage seized boat No. 11. There was
