LOSS OF THE “WHITE CLOUD,”
THE SHIP'S SIDE CAVES, IN, SAFETY OF CAPTAIN RAYMOND.
Amongst the vessels recently sent to Manila
for the United States Government was the old While Cloud, until the other day, very well, known on the Choton run, The White Cloud was a wooden paddle sicamer of 744 tons and was built at Hongkong in 1875 by the West Point Slipway and Dock Company, her engines being supplied by J. Howenden & Co., of Glasgow. She was recently purchased from the Hongkong Cauton and Macao Steamboat Company for $14,000, by Mr. Robinson, of Manila, who has of late purchased several vessels to send to Manila for the United States Authorities.
She left here on Saturday last, under the command of Captain Raymond, who has taken a lot of small craft to Manila most successfully, and had on board goo tons of coal, 1,000 fowls and 1,000 baskets of potatoos. All went well until the vessel had got about ninety miles front bore the weather was calm but a heavy well was running and she began to labour heavily and to dip her bows into it. Then the forward deckplanking, commenced to carry away and Captain, Raymond and his crew made preparations to effect repairs, but before any thing could be done the port-side of the vestel began to give way to the weight of the Awell. Two boats were lowered and the cap tains with half the crew, entered one, the rest of the crew going in the other under the com mand of the mate. The two boats pushed off and stood by to watch events and had scarcely got clear of the ship when the whole of the poit side was seen to collapse, the vessel took a plunge and sank. Captain Raymoud's boat was picked up by a junk some two hours after- wards and he arrived in Hongkong with his men at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The mate's boat was last seen heading for Junk in the distance, so it is presumed that he and the nien with lini nre'safe' and will be -landed here in due time. Captain Raymond attributes the loss of the ship to the fact of her old age and that she was badly riddled by white ants. We understand that she was uninsured and that the loss amounts to $20,000.“

"Replying to your question regarding Germany, Austria and Switzerland, I would say that we withdrew from these countries some time ago and do not entertain an idea of returning there."
President McCurdy, of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, said to a Matt and Exs reporter:
The Mutual Life Insurance Company have not the slightest idea of selling its stocks and will out adopt any such course."

(Mr. Green) official character. Had not Mr. Spencer Pratt already obtained an order of the Court stopping the sale of your book, I should have done so.
(Mr. Bancroft) On page 568 occurs the following statement "Consul General Pratt thereupon sent Emelio Aguinaldo, with his. Staff to Hongkong with instructions to Consul Wildman to put him in communication with Commodore Dewey, which he did, and Commodore Dewey, before he left China for Manila, gave orders to Consul General- Wildman, to see that Aguinaldo and his Staff followed on an American War Ship." While this statement may not have been intended to be malicious, it is historically incorrect (see my Dispatch No. 83 pago 336 of the “President's Message to Congress on the treaty of Peace between the United States and Spain)," If you had taken as much pains to have looked into the American Documents relating to the War, as you did to get together the numerous pro clamations of insurgent Leaders, the last direc Chapters of your book would have been as valuable to futurity, as the First Edition was to the past.......I am leaving this letter.open that your Publishers in America may read it

"It is peculiar how these misstatements get abroad. With us the lowest mortality is in England, the second lowest in Germany and the next lowest in the State of New York. This is a matter of record."
THE NEW BY-LAW,
It was on Tuesday last that the new bye-law of the New York Life was adopted. It is as follows:
"The funds of this company shall be invested and kept invested in the following interest or income-bearing securities among those per- mitted by the provisions of the insurance laws of the State of New York, viz.: In bonds of the United States or of the State of New York; the State of New York; in bonds and mort in bonds, of any county or incorporated city in gates on improved, vitengamberadand income producing real property in the State of New York, worth 50 per centum more than the anotint loaned thereon; in bonds of vent institution incorporated under the laws of any sol. the United States or any State thereof; in bonds issued by any city, county, town, village or school district of the State of New York; in bonds of any of the State of the United States. any of the above securities,

NEW YORK LIFE'S PLAN. A_NEW_POLICY-THAT-BARS-INVESTMENT
IN CORPORATE STOCKS.
NEW YORK, 13th July. The decision of the directors of the New York Life Insurance Company to sell all the stocks held by the corporation made a big stir to-day in the investors' world because of the uncertainty as to whether other life insurance companies would follow the same course. The big companies hold upward of $70,000,000 of stocks of railroad companies and banks, and
the sudden move of the New York Life's
directors made it probable that the market for the sale of stocks would be largely curtailed should insurance companies throughout the United States decline to invest in standard
stock securities.
