Hongkong, Sept. 6.
The Canadian Pacific Steamship Ca. Ld. have received a telegram from their agent at Kobe, stating that after being fouled by two steamers, the Empress' of Australia finally with. extreme difficulty successfully maneuvred her way outside the breakwater and. anchored in a safe position on Sunday at noon. As soon as drivers from Kobe have cut clear an entangled cable, the Empress of Australia will leave for Kobe with refugees and 10 secure provisions and water, and will proceed to Vancouver.
There is no doubt that Mr. F.
J. Wevill and Mr. J. Read have been killed, but the rest of the staff is safe. Mrs. Wevil is at present in Hongkong.—Reuter.
