HALIFAX , April 4. The steamer Dan
iel Stoinmann , from Antwerp for this
port , is reported sunk off Sambro , about
twenty miloa from this port. She struck
during last iiight and only nine are so far
reported to have reached laud , out of 140
on board.
Intelligence so fur from the wrecked
steamer are very meagre. It is said the
captain and five of the crow are the only
persons saved. The ship had 90 passen
gers , and 34 of crew. Twenty passengers
wora to land here all Germans , and 70
for Now York. She is supposed to have
struck on the "Sister ; , " oil Sambro , last
night , and shortly after sunk. The moats
are now visible from the shore. Intelli
gence did not reach herd until this after
noon. Considerable of the cargo was for
hero , the balance for New JYork. The
ownen have gone to the wreck.
NEW YORK , April 4. At the ofliee of
consignees , Funch , Edge & Co. , regard
ing the 1cm oLthest earner , Daniel Stein
mann , itwaalcarncdlho steamer generally
cirricd a few cabin passengers and freight
trade.
The cargo would probably reach 2,000
tons , 400 tons for Halifax , the balance
for Now York. They considered Captain
Schoonhavon a very careful , painstaking
man. The Daniel Steinmann was built at
Antwerp in 1875. She waa 177 feet long ,
34 feet beam , and 25 feet depth hold.
Her gross tonogo wan 1,780 tons. Her
name was formally "Tho Khedive. " She
has been running in the White Cross line
since 1878. At ono time she was consid
ered a very "lucky" veisel , but during
the last two years , aho has mot with var
ious mishaps.
Three passengers from the steamer
Stoinmann were saved with the captain
and Gvo of the crow , whoso names were
not ascertained. They ere on Sambro
Light island , the only communication
with which is by signals in rough
weather. To-night the weather is thick
and rainy , and it is uncertain if any fur-
tner particulars can bo hod. Reporters
left hero for Sambro by land , but the
hi\ds are bad. The very latest regard-
nig the wrecked steamer is that of a
crow of thirty-nino and the captain and
uiucty passengers ,

the captain , five of the cvew , and three

lars can therefore bo learned in regard
to the disaster at present. The government -

CUICAOO , April 4. The opening on

phenomenal excitement that has been
the rule for the last week or two. But
from noon up to the close , at 1 o'clock ,
matters hovered on the edge of n panic.
The tension could hardly have boon

panic in London and n lack of confidence

the bull crowd subsided in a measure and
prices reacted lo , May closing on 'change

adjourned there followed a prolific call

and while the names of fioino old and

up to late in the afternoon there appear-
cd to bo no warrant for it. On call board
the afternoon thcro was a still great-
r stiffening of prices , which served to
xcato a somewhat bettor feeling. Great
ntorcst at the ppnning was tendered in

ard fell off rapidly from the start. Pork

MIMVAUKKK , April 4. The board of
trade waa n scene of great excitement all
day , owing to the continued panic. The
oldest apoculators and alaliaticiaus have
their prophecies disproved nnd are so lost
iu their reckonings that fear hns seized
them , nnd they find safety only in flight
avoiding the market altogether. Siuco
yesterday dealers have been moro cau
tious than over , and Iho day's warning
undoubtedly put many on their guard
against disaster. The lowest figure for
May wheat was 81c ; Juno , 85 c. In
tlio afternoon prices voroa trifle stronger ,
recovering A to jo , May closing at 8i o
and Juno at 83 } . Lard ntid pork are not
dealt in on tlio board , and only cash
corn and oats , speculation confining itself
to wheat and barley. Business men ad
mit the situation ia very grave , as largo
loan companies are not no disposed to
advance money to farmers when they
know il costs farmers moro to raise wheat
than Iho price it ia now Belling at. Thn
lowoct figure that May wheat touched
during April , 1883 , waa § 1 04 , and the
highest § L 43(1. ( To-morrow ia looked

PANAMA , March 27. The Peruvian
minister of foreign affairs , replying to
the protest of England ngniuat the clause
in the treaty of peace between Chili and
Peru coding the nitrate and guano beds
to Chili , which England claimed waa
guaranteed in payment of the Peruvian
debt , eaya in substance that Peru when
negotiating the treaty acted in virtue of
the right aho posseased for self-govern
ment , a right acknowledged from the
moment of her independence by all na
tions , nnd aho cannot consent to-duy to
foreign interference -without wounding
her rights aa a aovorcign and independent
atato and wilhout abdicating or jeopard
izing UIOBO .prerogatives which aho had
always respected in other nations , so
that aho hoa not consulted nor docs aha
consider herself obliged to consult with
the dcbta originated from loans effected
wilh privalo parlioa regarding whoso na
tionality the government never thought
proper to inquire , aa thcao dobta have
never r.saumcd an international character.
Although they may now bo partly held
in EngliBh handa , yet at any time they
may bo transferred to persona of another
nationality. Peru owoa nothing to Eng
land aa a government or elate , and conao-
qucnlly Iho loans referred to cannot bo
made n nubjoct of diplomatic influence.
It ia n matter of public notoriety that for
four yoara past the mortgaged property
haa not been in possession of Peru , yet
