ATTACKED BY CANNIBALS.
; LIVELY TIME ON A STEAMER. By Telegraph—Press Assooiation-Copyrieht Vancouver, May 8i The Brilifji steamer Ivaisenga struck a reef oil Womazi Island, German East Africa, and 1 was then attacked by a thousand cannibals. The natives were repulsed by broadsides of steam and scalding water. A DIFFERENT TALE. (By Telcsrapk.—Press Association.) Tirnaru, May 9. Referring to the cable messages published in tho evening papers to the effect that tho steamer Kaisenga, on a reef, had been attacked by cannibals in German East Africa, Mr. C. H. Mason, of Timaru, states that ho corresponds with Mr. Brooking, an ex-Timaruvian, who is third engineer on the vessel. Mr. Brooking's last letter was from East London, when the vessel was bound to New York, and it stated that sho had been aground for some hours on a sandbank. This is probably the whole base of the New York story.
