Under the contract the Government render all assistance possible. r ship Vulcan, commanded by Commander Ira Harris, was om_work on the ships in mo Bay.

If, however, he was | in command as the representative of | the United States he was virtually re- | iving officer, thereby relieving the’ g company of that part of the | tract requiring delivery at Norfolk. | MAHIA TERESA MAY YET BE AFLOAT VORFOLK, Va., Nov. 6.—No one saw eresa sink, and it is now fear 1ay be afloat, a dangerous derelict and menace to commerce.

She, however, held her course astern of the Vulcan for some time. Tremendous seas were gweeping over her. The last seen of her by those aboard the Vulcan was the | American flag flying defiantly astern, | and the men cheered as they left the | ship to her fate. The Vulcan proceeded | st all night at two knots an t daybreak she turned back arched all day, but saw nothing | Teresa, Merritt, or the colller| Leonidas. As night fell the gale in- creased, and it was determined to pro- ceed to Hampton Roads. Sims said that at times it was im- ble for men to work aboard the Teresa. The air was very foul, and the discovery of the skeletons of Spaniards | in the hold was almost a dally occur- spite the pos: ing at any 1r sort down ‘a and of the rence.

Nothing nas been heard of the Leonidas. — - | THE VULCAN LOST [ SIGHT OF THE TERESA| NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. 6.—The repair ship Vulean arrived in Hampton late last night. She started ntiago with the Maria Teresa, together with the tugs Merritt and Leonidas. The night the Teresa went down she lost track of the two tugs and after a fruitless search for them started for Hampton Roads. The men on the Vulcan were graitfied to learn that the Merritt had arrived at Charleston, as they feared that she had been lost. from S Shot by a Quicker Man. TOMBSTONE, Nov. 6.—Last night Joe Terrill shot and killed Henry Marquard at the Commonwealth mine in Pearce, this county.

DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 6.—Three more victims were to-day dug from the ruins of the New Wonderland building, which collapsed vesterday afternoon. This makes the death list so far eleven. The bodies recovered to-day were identified as those of Peter Pfeifle, carpenter; Frank Wolf, tinner, and Max Pett, who was Wolf's helper. . All the injured at the hospitals were to- reported improving, except Edward cher, who is expected to die. mass-meeting of representative citi- zens was_ held at noon in the Mayor's office, and over $1000 was subscribed for the relief of the familles of those who were killed. The loss on the property was for the first time. It is believed that $102,000 will cover it. What caused the catastrophe is still un- known and probably will be untll the Coroner’s inquest next week. A promin- ent local architect in an interview to-day stated that he did not belleve in the the- ory that the steel work was faulty, but sald he did believe that it was not heavy enough. All three bodies discovered to-day were in the center.of the building, buried un- der tons of debris. Frank Wolf was found strangled to death by a heavy steel girder which lay across his throat. Both the o' her bodies were frightfully mangled. In 2ddition to those known to be dead there are still missing Fred Miller, Charles Mielke and O.

RAVAGES OF SMALLPOX IN HOLGUIN DISTRICT NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—General Wood, | commanding at Santiago de Cuba, has sent a cable dispatch to the , Central Cuban Relief Association which reads: “I find in Holguin district, just evacu- ated by the Spaniards, long standing smallpox scattered throughout the dis- trict and am making every effort to stamp it out. is in charge of the work. Please send him to Gibara by first Government transport 1000 cots and 200 half-ounce bottles of vaccine lymph.” Agent Warner of the Red Cross, who reached Gibara in the latter part of September on the schooner Mary E. Morse, reported on his arrival the ter- rible spread of smallpox, which had been raging unchecked for a long time, and called for vaccine virus. Enough for 1000 vaccinations was at once sent, as well as a quantity of quinine.” The facts were telegraphed to General Wood in reply to his message and he was told that the supplies asked for would be sent to the Red Cross agent at | Gibara for Dr. Woodson’s use. —_————— SWINDLER LODTMAN ARRESTED -AT CHICAGO Obtained Several Thousand Dollars by Cashing Worthless Drafts. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Willlam Lodtman, once a wealthy lumber dealer of Bohemia and later a lieutenant in the German army, is under arrest in this city charged vith swindling. Lodtman admits having Jassed worthless checks and drafts in va- rious parts of the country during the last few years, but claims that the whole amounted to only $1000, most of which he paid back. The police assert, however, that Lodtman has secured several thou- sand doll and was about to pass a worthless drafts for a large sum at Port Huron when captured. Lodtman is well kpown in America and Europe as a news- paper writer on scientific subjects. Busi- ness adversity, he says, compelled him to obtain money through swindling. The city has had experience with a Phelan Board of Super= visors, and the time has come for | a change. i e LT Congress of Mothers.

Benner and five men of the crew of the schooner Jennie F. Willey, which was stranded on October 23 at Walkers Bay Shile bound from Jacksonville for Mar- tinique. Dr. Woodson of the army | DETERMINED T0 TAKE THE PHILIPPINES Spain’s Tactics of No Avail. UNCLE SAM WANTS ISLANDS BLUSTER OF THE DONS ONLY IN- CREASES THE DESIRE. Sum to Be Paid the Madrid Goovern- ment Will Not Exceed the Aggregate of Debts for Improvements. wpecial Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The Herald’s ‘Washington correspondent says: Spain’s exhaustive argument against the cession of the Philippines to the United States has had the result of making the officials all the more de- termined to take the islands. The in- structions sent to Mr. Day, chairman of the American Commissioners. will require him and his colleagues to re- new on Tuesday their demands for the cession of the group to the United States, and they will make in their communication the first offer in money in payment for the islands. It is understood that the President will consult to-morrow with some of his advisers concerning the amount to be named in the American communica~ tion, but I was told again to-night that the sum to be paid will not under any consideration exceed the aggregate of debts contracted by the Spanish Gov- ernment for improvements in the Phil- ippines. All military debts and debts contracted in the name of other islands, such as Cuba, will be barred, and the Spanish Commissioners will be in- formed that they must recognize this fact as promptly as possible. Secretary Hay has received® a full statement of the contents of the Span- ish note. Its character was just what the officials expected—without any new arguments of importance. I under- stand that Senor Rios and his col- leagues call attention to the action of thelr Government in delivering the note through M. Cambon, French Em- bassador, to President McKinley, which set forth the understanding of the Spanish Government that in agree- ing to the protocol its soverelgnty over the Philippines would not be affected. It is also claimed by the Spanish Commissioners that this _declara- tion was assented to by Pregident McKinley. As a matter of fact, I was told this afternoon the note had been delivered, but the President had de- clined to answer it, either in writing or verbally to M. Cambon. The Spanish Commissioners have de- clared, it is said, that instead of the o ited States acquiring the Philip- pines, this Government should pay their Government indemnity for the attack on Manila after the peace proto- col had been signed and for the dam- age consequently done. I understand that after the Philip- pine question has been disposed of the Commissioners will consider the de- termination of claims which have been flled by Americans against Spain and by Spaniards against the United Statés. It was thought that this Government would bind itself to satisfy all Amer- ican claims In consideration of territory ceded to the United States, but I under- stand this is incorrect. The Spanish Commissioners have a heavy claim for fillbustering against the United States to offset the claims filed by Americans for personal and property injuries, and the question of their disposition will have to be decided. S R Remind your neighbors of the importance of the issues at stake, and see that ail of them make up their minds to vote to= morrows. e g e SPAIN WILL SIGN PEACE TREATY UNDER PROTEST LONDON, Nov. 7.—The Madrid cor- respondent of the Daily Mail says: Spain will sign the peace treaty under protest. The Vienna correspondent of the Times, commenting upon the irritation of the German press over the attitude of the United States toward the Phil- ippine question, says: ‘It has but lit- tle importance and is only likely to ex- cite the scorn and deflance of the Americans and tend to confirm them in their determination to keep the Phil- ippines.” The Framdenblatt, in a temperate article that gives the Ger- man papers an example of impartial- ity, recognizes that it is purely a ques- tion for the Americans to decide for themselves. The Berlin correspondent of the Times, after giving extracts from an- other longer and violent article in the Kolnische Zeitung, declares that the fate of the Philippines cannot be a matter of indifference to Gérmany, and expresses the opinion that such utter- ances will only stiffen the affltude of the United States. The Berlin correspondent of the Standard says: The semi-official pa- pers have received a hint to stop their attacks upon America. I have good reason to believe, however, that Ger- many will doff her reserve so soon as other powers seek a share in the spoils of the Philippine COMMISSION MERCHANT LURED FROM HOME Wife and Mother Fear That He Is the Victim of Murderous Blackmailers. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Edgar V. McCon- key, formerly a commission merchant in South Water street, was lured from his home at 180 Wilmot street at 5:30 this aft- ernoon. Absolute mystery surrounds his BONNET'S CHANCES I 4 BEST FOR SHERIFF A careful canvass of the city shows that T. F. Bonnet, the popular candi- date for Sheriff, has established himself in the minds and hearts of the people by reason of his magnificent record as License Collector.

He will not permit them to pol through tolerate ti lute the very fountain of justice, his office before it finds a resting place in the courts. he appointment by them of a gang of political loafers whom the the which passes Jjury-box, He will not bosses must reward for dirty work. They want a Sheriff who will be po- litically deaf, dumb and blind; a man who will be a mere figurehead, and allow them to name the deputies, pack juries and run things to suit- them- selves.

NEW YORX, Nov. 6—The Herald’s* Washington corre- spondent says: In President McKinley’s message to Congress will be a very strong and urgent appeal for immediate legislative action for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal under Government direction. The President will point out that our new connections in the Pacific and in the West Indies make it imperative for us to build and control the great international waterway, and that delay be- yond the present Congress in au- thorizing its construction will jeopardize the chances for American control in the future. + + N R R R R R DR PR P R e s B Y R ] L T T T T T T T T T T T T < * = 1% disappearance and all efforts on the part of his family to locate him or to explain the abduction have proved unavailing.

Woodrow, in the ‘Alta buflding, this morning. A mystery surrounds the case. The woman, in com- pany with Woodrow, Boyd Wessell and Mrs. Josie Gerrold, a_widow, had spent the night together in Woodrow’s flat in a drunken orgy. To-day none of the three survivors could or would give an account of Miss Eversleigh's death. Both J’mmg men are under parole ar- rest and surveillance pending an examin- ation to ascertain the cause of the bruise on the dead girl’s_temple.
