New York, Aug. 14 —The White Star liner Cymric, which came up to her dock in this city at an early hour today and 'ynded her 373 passengers, had a terrible experience while crossing the Atlantic. At noon on Sumday, Augus 5, when the big vessel was 19 hours out from Queens- town, fire was discovered in the cargo in in the forward hold, and it raged until midnight on Monday, whenit was gotten under control, The loss on the cargo was so heavy that Ageot Jobo Lee, of the White Star line, notified the consignees of the cargo that they would be expected to pay their pro- rata share of the loss. Ceptain H. %t. G. Lindsay, of the Cymiric, to-night told the experience of tbe men on the vesse! in ggh ing the fire. In addition to the ordinary danger of euch work, the fire could nat be located, and deadly chlorine gas, which poured outof the hatches, made it im - | possible for the mento remain long at work. The officers of the veseel headed the men, and man after man was lifted unconscious from the hold. The captain was carried out four times, and once it appeared as though breathing had stopped. Io the hold were hogsheads of bleaching powder and roda ash. The heat and fire caused the chlorine gas to generate, and this poured out ata terrific rate. Great Britain, Germany and the States. CoLoeyg, Aug. 14.—The Gazette, in an editorial yesterday inveighs sharply against those politician’s who are forever trving tos wdiecord between Germany, Great Britan, and the United States. It says: “After Mr Broderick’s declaration in the House of Commons that England would vot abandon her leading position in China, it deserves ali the more attentien that Fogland bas since waived her claim The approvalof Great Britain and the United States of Gen. Von Waldersee’s appointment ought to be a -esson to the megu ded who regard friction vetween the (bree powers as the summit of diplomatic ambition.” The Gazette rebuts the sus: piciovs that Germany is drifting intoa Geogerous pulicy, the outcome of which cannot be foreseen, It argues that the contrary is the case, Germoeny, it saye, will henceforth necassarily exercise parti- cular care and sound judgment i: order to justify the confidence of the powers, adopt ing @ line of policy which will surely ‘werit their approval.
