From Our Own Correspondent, Haichow, Mar. 19.
News has just reached us of the {wrecking of the str. Tsingtau Maru, a vessel engaged in the Haichow-Tsingtao trade, carrying principally phosphate ore from the mines here.
She left here with a cargo of 400 tons of ore and some passengers and put in at a port called Shih-gibson, near the boundary line between Kiangsu and Shantung. After leaving the latter port, she went ashore and was seen by a passing steamer with bows high out of the water and stern submerged. Nothing is known of how the wreck occurred. We hear that there was no loss of life, the passengers all getting safely to land.
