The storm occurred on March 10. It was also reported that sixteen merchantmen were lost. The American war snips wrecked were all attached to the Pacific station under command of Rear Admiral Low is A. Klmberly, whose staff is as follows: Captain Norman IT. Farqubar, chief of staff; Lieutenant Henry w lutcennouse, nag lieutenant; Lieutenant Green leaf A. Merriam, secretary. Tha Trenton was a ship-rigged wooden cruiser, and was built in 187a. Her displacement was 8900tons. In 1881 she was made the flagstaff of the European squadron, and continued in that capacity up to the time of i this disaster. \ The Trenton was considered the best , ' wooden vessel in the navy. She was built at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Nlpsic was the best known of the United States war vessels at Samoa. She was put in commission a year and a half ago, arriving at Apia last November. She had long been rated in naval circles as a second-rate cruiser, having ? "TOScwn hull bark rigged She carried six guns, mostly smooth bore, in har^rfiain battery. She had a displawmeijtor 1375 tons. Thycfnplement of the Nipsic was 174 ma? i yVflSsand blue jackets, although some of her short time men were sent home from Samoa when the Adams left for San Francisco in January last. The Vandal la was a bark-rigged weoden cruiser (second rate), with a displacement of 2100 tons. She was rebuilt in 1874, and in 1881 belonged to the North American squadron. Eho carried a battery of eight guns, mostly smooth bore 0-incn nahlgrou's for her broadside battery and two Parrot rifles for pivots. The Olirahad been tha most form!<lahl? nf I tho German vessels at Apia. Sho is unarmored and unprotected, a single deck cruiser, built in 1880. and equipped with a lottery or eight six-inch Krupp rinee and n number of Hotchklss revolving cannon. She hod a speed of fourteen knots and a crow of 307 men. Her displacement was 2200 tons. The German war vessels Adlor and Eber wero inferior to the Glga both in sire and strength. The Adler carried four Krupp guns and tho Eber carried three. The Ebsr was equipped for torpedo service. Captain Fritz, who commanded the Adler, was one of the seamen and fighters of whom Germany was proudest. Farther Details. Further particulars of tho disastrous storm at Apia, Samoa, bare just been received. The hurricane bunt upon the harbor suddenly. The German man-of-war Eber was the first vessel to drag her anchor. Bhe l>ecame unmanageable and wasdriven helplessly on the reef which runs around the harbor. Sho struck broadside on, at 0 o'clock in the moratnfl. The shock caused her to lurch and to stagger back, and sho sank in a moment in doep water. Most of lior men were under hatches, and scarcely a soul of them escaped. The German war ship Adlor was the next to succumb. She was lifted bodily by a gigantic wavo and cast on ber boam onds on the reof. A terrible struggle for life ensued among the officers and sailors aboard. Many nluncrjvl inf/i ??wl 0u.?eb ai.i some reaching the shoro in safety. Others clung to the rigging until tho masts fell. Of tliose two gained the shore safoly. The Captain of the Adler and several other officers wero saved. In the meantime the United States warship Nipslc bad beon dragging lior anchors and drifting toward tho shore. Tho Captain, however, managed to koep control and ran her on a sandbank. Boats were immediately lowered, and the whole company wero saved, with the exception of six men, who wero drowned by tlio capsizing of a boat. The unitod States vessel Vandalla was carried before the galo right upon the reef. She struck with a terrible shock, and tho Captain was hurled against a Uatliug gun and stunned. Before he could recover a groat sea swept the dock and washed him away. Tho vessel sank iifty yards from the Uipsfa Several of the officers and men wore washed overboard and drowned. Others perished whilo making desperate efforts to 3wim to the shore. Some remained for hours clinging to the riggiug, but hoavy waves dashod unceasingly ovor them, and ono by one tliey wero swept away. By this time night hod set in. Muny natives and Europeans had gathered on tho shore, and all were anxious to render assistance to the wreckod vessels and their nnfnr. tunate crows, but, darkness having fallen on the scene, thoy were wholly unable to bo of sorvice. Soon after tho Vandalia had sunk, the American warship Trenton broke from her anchorage and was drivon upon the wreck of tho \ andnlia, whence sho drifted to tho shore. The bottom of tho Trenton was completely stovo and her hold was half full of water. As morning broke the German man-of-war Olga, which had hitherto bravely witlistood the gale, although much battered by the hoavy seas that constantly broke upon her, l>ecaine unmanageable and was driven upon tbe beach, where sho lay in a tolerably favorable position. The following is a record of tho oflloors and \ men lost: Eber?The Captain and all the other oillcers except one, and seventy-six men. Vandalia?Tlio Captain, four oillcors and forty men. Nipeic?Seven men. Atller?Altogether fiftoen persona Mataufa sent a number of men, who rendered splendid aid in trying to float tho Olga. The Vandalia lost four officers namely: Captain School) maker, Lieutenant Sutton, Paymaster Arms, Pay Clerk Roach. A dispatch from Admiral Ktmberloy in command of tbe squadron says: "There was a hurricane at Apia. Every vessel In tbe harbor is on shore, except tho English man-of-war Calliope, which got tj sea. The Trenton and Vnndalta are total losses. TheNipsic is beached,and her rudder gone. She may bo saved but tho chances ure against it." A BIG WHALING STORY, A Schooner Shsltpn by Collision With a Monster Whale. Captain Samuel Fodriek, of tho schooner James II. Gordon, which has arrived at Baltimore from Charloston, 3. C., reports that when about seventy-fivo miles E. S. E. of Cape Honry, a school of whales was met. Thoy coins so close to tho vessel that piece; of wood wero dropped on their hacks, at which they squirted fountains of water in tho nir. At ono time tho sea appeared like a mass of contused lire from tho gambol''tg of the creatures. Lines of phosphorescent i-.gbt, sometimes as far as tho eyo could reach, were visible from tho shin's degk, us the whales raced ufter one another through the water. All that night tiio mighty fish played around the vessel without accident. At b:30 o'clock on the morning of the &>th the Gordon suddenly "brought up," boing shaken from statu to stern Looking over the bow, it was seen that the vesseT hud struck a monster whale. Th > water was discolored and bloody, showing that the Gordon had struck the tlsh a terrible blow. The whales disappeared from about the vessel shortly after the collision. Captain Pedriok is confident there were 10.) whales in the school, all of which, the first mate, an old whaler, says were sperm whales. It is supposed they were attacted in shore by following the schools of mackeral now off the roast. The number of deaths caused by the famine in 8han-Tung, China, is appalling.
