[Peb United Press Association.] Welt.txgtox, This day. Sir Julius A r ogel will probably leave by tho Hinemoa for the AVaiwera Springs tomorrow. The Hon. Mr Buckley will also leave in a vessel and disembark at Napier, working his -way north, inspecting the charitablo institutions on the way from tlio south. The Premier had an interview with the Governor respecting the German annexation of New Guinea, and a meeting of the Cabinet is being held this morning to decide as to what answer should be sent to the circular cablegram sent by Mr Service. Mary Ann Gamble, a domestic servant, attempted suicide by taking choral. She is in the hospital in a critical condition. The steamer Waihora, which arrived here yesterday morning from Auckland via the East Coast, struck some object about two o'clock this morning. The vessel was in charge of the second mate, and when off Orio Point, near Cape Palliser, she was felt to strike some hard substance, apparently on the port side. The second officer at once brought tho helm up so as to put the steamer's head to sea." Almost immediately Captain M'lntosh, awakened by the shock, came on deck and had the pumps sounded, but tho vessel was found to be making no water. After the first shock, from the peculiar vibration experienced, it was thought that the propeller had been injured by coining into contact with some hard substance. On the AVaihera's arrival here a diver was put to work, and reported that one blade of the propeller was gone and another was slightly damaged. The surmise is that the broken blade struck some heavy floating object, or else was carried away through having a flaw in it. A preliminary enquiry into the matter was held yesterday afternoon by tho Collector of Customs, but no further particulars were elicited. The AVaihora sailed South this afternoon.

At the Lyttelton Harbor Board meeting yesterday a letter was read from the Government on the subject of providing a lifeboat for Akaroa, as it was supposed that there Avas a reef at Banks Peninsula which was believed to bo tho cause of the recent wrecks. Tho Government declined to comply Avith the request, as they are advised that tho current Avhich affects vessels going from Dunedin northwards sets in to Timaru bight and comes out at Banks Peninsula. Therefore it is concluded that if a vessel is found too far in-shoro at Banks Peninsula this would bo caused through a wrong courso having been taken or bad steering.
