THE DAfLT EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEEIBEt 12, 1870. THE ONEIDA DISASTER. rk Offer I Rnlftti thfi Vrnnrl -Why the Oaelda una Rt wmro un(s. The Washington correspondent of the New fork Tribune telegraphs the following: I itn informed by a trustworthy correspondent jn Japan that Captain Batoholder, an honest Hmerioan, a friend of the Oueida officers, a Van of experience and reputation in the raising f Teasels, and entirely responsible for any- faing he assumes, made to Admiral Rowan of ue Aaiatio Squadron propositions of which be following are copies: Yokohama. April 80. 1870. Admiral 8. C. lowan Sir: I think I could raise the wreck f the Oneida by sllnirinir her between two large essele, and place ber ou the beach at Yokoska n safety, and will endeavor to do so for $90,000, 11 included, provided you will ndvance mo VlO.000 to pay a portion of the heavy expense I A) all have to incur, as the work progresses; the Ijfmaining (00,000 to be paid within two months iter toe vessel Has been raised. All the battery, Lacing, etc., to be removed beforo attempting I o raise the hull. In cafe the vessel is raised, I will further gree to dock and complete repairs caused by he collision to the Oneida, making one trip with the steamer, for the further sum of 135,000 Delusive, ana in case i una it impossible to alse the Oneida, aftermaking faithful attempts, ,ny further sum expended by me to be at my wn loss, and no further claim to be made for xtras in caso of failure on my part to raise the k reck of the Oocida. I would simply say that would be willing to lose much tinii and some oDey before l would abandon tne once noble seel, and have quite as much national pride most American citizens, and should you see to place the work in my hands, I trust that ither you nor our Oovernnient will have use to regret it. Faithfully yours, ' J. M. Batchelder. REPLY OF ADMIRAL ROWAN. Flagship Delaware, Yokohama, May 2. 70. J. M. Eatehelder, Esq. Sir: I this morn- g received your proposal to raise the Oneida, cannot make the advance you propose. I iall leave for home in a few days, and cannot fave contingent agreements for large amounts johind me. I will give you eighty thousand lollars (180,000) the day you put the Oneida on tic upper beach of Yokoska, or. In case she oats, I will receive her and pay the whole inount. I will also aid you by giving the use sheet cables of the Idaho, and allow the onacacy to tow the wrecK into port. Respectfully, etc., S. C. Rowan, Rear-Admiral Commanding Asiatic Squadron. SECOND LETTER OF CAPTAIN BATCH ELDER. Yokohama, May 4, 1870. Rear-Admiral S. , Rowan Sir: In answer to yours of the 3d ast. I beg to eaj' I should be pleased to raise ie Oneida on the terms you propose, but in Be of any unforeseen accident causing a fall- re in raising said Oneida, I am unable to lose large an amount, and I only ask the $30,000 om Government. Should 1 not succeed, 1 liould be a great loser, and receive nothing ore, whereas you would receive a largo por- on of your money back ia the battery, and aterials saved from the wreck. Iu case you lould see fit to advance the money, and would p-aw on the Government at 6ixty days' sight, r less, 1 could arrange easily here for what money I required. jNl-.'St respectfully yours, J.

CRTHER OFFER TO RAISE TIIE ONEIDA WITH OUT ANY RISK TO THE GOVERNMENT. Yokohama, May 13, 1870. Rear Admiral S. , Rowan Sir: Referring to our conversation f this date regarding my proposition to raise ie Oneida, l am willing to accept your otter ot SO, 000, provided you will advance me $10,000 hen the battery, safe, etc., are recovered from lie Oueida, and a further turn of $30,000 when Le vessels are placed over the wreck, and bains attached to the same. I am fully con- mced. from my own experience, that it will ost me fully $50,000 to make the attempt to ilse the Uuelda, ana should you wish l can ive you a detailed statement of probable cost f my propof ed attempt to place the Oneida in ufety on the beach of Yokoska. Most respect- iilly yours. J. M. Batchelder. L. 8. Flagship Delaware, Yokohama, Bay 14, 1870. J. M. Batchelder, Esq.-Sir: I in in receipt ot your communication of yester iay'8 date, In which you propose to raise the nelda for $80,000, provided that an advance of 30,000 is made. 1 cannot, in justice t the overnment, pay so large an amount for the covery of the vessel and take all the risks of dlure. I am, therefore, obliged to reject your :ter. v ery respectmiiy, a. c uowan, ear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief U. S, Asiatic Fleet. REPLY. Yokohama, May 15, 1870 Rear-Admiral 8, . Rowan, Commanding Asiatic Fleet Sir: ours of yesterday s date, declining to accept (ny final offer to raise the Oneida and make the equired advance of $10,000 when the battery hvas raised, and $20,000 when vessels were over nd chains made fast to the Oneida, is at hand. Il regret you could not give the required ad vance. In justice to myself and my family, 1 kannot take less. Were I a rich man I would tiave cheerfully commenced work on the (Oneida, relying upon the Government to repay ime at some future time. The $20,000 advance I required from you on account of the hull was mot the one-half it would nave required me to uiave advanced ere I could have raised the JOneida. Most respectfully yours, J. M. Batchelder. SINGULAR ACTION BY ADMIRAL ROWAN. At one time Admiral Rowan sent the fol lowing memoranda, bearing neither date nor signature, to captain iiacneider, intimating Hthat an offer of that kind would be accepted. Ibut withdrew it when Captain Bachelder ac- Iceded to the terms: MEMORANDA. "When the guns, carriages, masts, spars, rig sings, anchors, cables, and money-chest are re' covered and put in the Idaho, and when the chains, five on a side, are made fast to the hulk, the uovernment win pay m,wu on account. And when the Jneida Is securely afloat in the harbor at Yokoska, or, In case she does not Liioat In safety, she will be placed on shore, on a Ujottom free from rocks and stones, when tide Is lowest, with the injured part placed la the best position lor repairs, then tne uovernment win pay $00,000 more, and be free of all charges and claims wnatever inereaiier. It seems strange that a historio ship, oost iner the Government more than $300,000, and having on board personal effects of great lntrinsio value to the friends of tne martyrs. and which the Government should have spared no reasonable pains to reoover, was not thought to te worm tne nsK oi $iu,ouu. In fact, no risk was involved, for the battery, rpars, rigging, safe, etc, wmcn would na dombtedly have been saved, were worth at least that amount. With ships over the wreck, and chains attached, com paratively all the expense and labor of rais ins the Oneida would nave ueen over, vat the offer was not accepted, and the ship, with her contents, is left to ruin. Captain Hatch. elder proposed to make the Oneida ready for Bea for $125,000, but it appears that nothing was done, nor was any person allowed to do anything. It is understood that arrange ments for raising the Oneida were fully com rleted in the absence of Admiral Rowan, soon after the disaster occurred, but the arrival of the Admiral arrested the work. The Admiral, while at Yokohama, seemed to Le eniious to prove himself blameless, and Captain Williams at fault, for not having more boats. The only man who was saved from the Oneida, and who knew anything about the matter, shot 1 J have been called as a witness. It is reported that Mr. Grown tagfchield, the Captain's clerk, has stated that Captain WilliamR made requisition for boats, and received as an answer, both verbally and in the Admiral's own handwriting on the bflck of the requisition, directions to wait until he got to a cheaper port. Mr. Yates Buys that he was on a board of estimate and survey with Le Maldeau, in the matter of boats, and that Captain Williams told tbcm to make the estimates as low as possible or the Admiral would not allow it. It may be said that in the Admiral's ab sence Captain Williams was the senior ofuoer in Jepan, and would have bought boats on his own rerponsibility, but the Admiral had refused the requisition and left orders to that effect. In regard to raising the Oneida, in one sentence Admiral ltowan says, "I shall leave for home in a few days, and cannot leave contingent agreements for large amounts behind;" and in another sentence offers $80,000 for what must be completed long after he left. It was not reasonable to require any one to take all the risk, bear all the expenses, leaving the Admiral entirely free from all responsibility. He speaks of "concluding other arrangements in hand." What arrangements Nothing was done. The inaction indicates either indifference or incapacity. It is not surprising that tbs matter is regarded with wonder, to use a mild term, by relatives of the victims who were lost by the criminal carelessness of this Ad miral. The Japan Mail, published in Yokohama, under date of July lf, says: "We firmly be lieve that an action would lie against the American Admiral or the United States Gov ernment in behalf of the relatives of the de ceased crew, for neglecting to have the Uneida properly supplied with boats, and if strict justice is invoked it is there that it must begin. Ihe Mail is an English paper, in Erjelihk nav and interest, ami urnn.w CJ A J - 7 I J allowance should be made on that account; out it may tea some truth. ALSACE AM) LOIIRAIXE. The Natlonnllty of their lohnbltnnta Strength of the taerntan .Element. The AUnemeine Zeitunn publishes an inte resting article on the "German-speakins territory in France." It says that this terri tory now extends over 230 square miles, with 142 communes and 1, 300,000 inhabitants a territory which is almost as large as that of Baden both in size and population, and is on the borders of Germany from Jiasle to Lux emburg. Tho linguistic boundary (Sprach granze) between the Germans and the French begins on the bwiss frontier, at the village of Lutzel, in the canton of Berne, and thence proceeds to the northwest, following the watershed between the German Kkine and the French Rhone to the Barenkopf, between Damerkircn (Uanne-mane) and Belfort. At this place the linguistic boundary has re mained undisturbed; all to the east is Ger man. Ihe boundary next proceeds north ward along the ridge of the Vosges. The valleys of the JJolder, the Thur. and the Fecht are here German; the source of the Moselle, on the west, is French. In the vicinity of Colmar and Kaiserberg, at the sources of the Weiss and the Leber, the French language passes across the Vosges eastward into Alsace, where there are some communes of the canton of Schneirlach (la iron troy e) which speak a Komance dialect. In the valley of the Leber the languages are mixed, and the linguistio frontier proceeds from Markirch (ate. Mario aux Mines) through the valley of the Weiler, the upper fiart of which is French, to the Breusch val ey. The upper part of the valley of the Vosges is also French, and its villages have French and German names. The lower part is in disputably German. From the Breusch val ley the linguistio frontier passes from Alsace to Uonon, in Lorraine, ihe small mountain valleys of the Vosges, which belong to the French linguistio territory, comprise about 4 square miles, with HO, 000 inhabitants. The whole of the remaining portion of Alsace, however, is German. It comprises 140 square miles, 870 communes, and 500,000 German inhabitants, lhere is not a single place here with airenchname. The linguistio boundary becomes more uncertain as it enters Lorraine, where the French lan guage has made much more progress than in Alsace. It begins at the Breusob, and passes to the northwest by the lakes of Guldesfing (Etaug de Gondreange) and Thus- weihe, east of JJieuze. beveral towns to the east of this boundary, however, such as l'falzburg, have beoome completely Galli cized. Thence the boundary proceeds to Morsberg (Marimont la llaute). Ihe south ern and western villages of this district are French, the eastern and northern German. The advance of the French language here is t-hown by the fact that formerly German was spoken on the banks of the Seille as far as Marsal. Ihe boundary extends in Lorraine up to the borders of the department of the Meurthe, and then enters that of the Moselle. 'In the former department there are 110 communes, with C,500 inhabi tants. In the department of the Mosulle the linguistio boundary passes along the river Is led, leaving rauluueniont and Kriechingen on the right, and thence proceeds to the Kanner, a small stream that flows into the Moselle. The German portion of this de partment comprises about 43 j square miles, with 200 communes and 180,400 inhabitants. About a ninth part of the originally German portion of Lorraine has been Gallicized since the French annexations of io52 and 170G. ENQINEti MACHINERY, ETC. Sff.
