Sydney, April 13,
Information received from Apia states that Captain Brhardt expressed a doubt as to his being able to float the American flagship Trenton, although he has received advice that the plant will soon arrive from America. The Trenton is believed to be full of holes, but it is expected that she might be floated off. The Olga, which arrived yesterday, is not very much damaged. The Nipsic, which was the first of the American vessels to go ashore, was very much knocked about, but it is thought that her engines, which remain entact, will be saved.
Fritze, captain, and of the Adler, |says the adherents of Mataafa only assisted the Americans during the earlier part of the day but in the afternoon no distinction was shown and both Americans and Germans were treated alike.
