F., May 21st.—The steamer Maravale, nf the Canadian Paci- fic Steamship Company struck a reef off the scuth coast of New Foundiand late this afternoon and is a complete wreck. All the passengers and crew of the ship were safely landed.

The ship s ruck on Cape Freels rock, at half past four this afternoon. Her eungines were im- mediately reversed usnd she backed off. She was making water so rapidly that the bhoats were ordered awayv at once. The work of debarkation went on ravidly and was finished none too soon, for an hour later the big saip was lying 0. the bottom: in seven fathoms of water, with only her boat deck showing ahove the surface., 'The rock lies about one mile off the land and the nature of the injur ies sustained by the ship ean be gathered from the faet that she sank before the captain could complete his eff irt to beach her.

Geneva, May 21st.—The Swiss Gov- ernment’s note in reply to the protest concerning the assassinatiop at Lausanre of Vorovsky the Soviet Envoy, deciares that Switzerland has a better right to demand explanations for the violence suffered by thousands of Swiss in Rus- sia undzr the Soviet regime, than to give them regarding the death of one Rus- sian who was unofficial and unwelcome visitor. The reply, which was entirely drafted by M. Motta, chief of the police departm#nt, has to be approved by the Federal Council. In regard to charges that Vorovsky wss not sufficiently pro- tected, the reply asserts that the Swiss police cannot give special supervision for the protection of every visitor to the country. It concludes that the trial of Maurice Coaradi, who shot Vorovshy, will be held in due Swiss legal form aand thot foreign interference will not be tol erated.
