NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—A cablegram to the Sun from Paris says: The situ- | ation justifies the assertion that peace is at last in sight. The Madrid Gov- | ernment has definitely decided to accept the American terms, or rather the best | terms available. Instructions to this | effect have been received by Senor | Montero Rios, president of the Spanish Commission, and his associates, from | Prime Minister Sagasta, and although Senor Montero Rios does not withdraw his declaration that he will never yield to the American demands, there can | be no doubt of the final result. |SOLDIERS ACCUSED OF LAWLESS DEPREDATIONS Cabinet Considers a Series of Com- plaints From Porto | Rico. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—The Cabinet | session to-day was devoted to a large extent to the consideration of complaints that have reached the War Department alleging a state of practical anarchy in Porta Rico. 2 These complaints a less elements are committing depredations of the gravest character, and that the seriousness of the situation Is increased the fact that United States troops e been guilty of gross mis- . Becretary Alger, at the in- stance of the President, cabled General Brooke inquiring as to the accuracy of the complaints. The most serious allegations are against brigands and lawless elements in the smaller towns away from the coast. It is said that, taking advantage of the un- settied state of the country due to the transfer of the Government from Spain to the United States, bands of men have organized for robbery and rapine, burn- ing houses and plantations and levying tribute upon the people wherever possi- ble. In one case, it is said, they made a raid on a small town of about 15,000 in- habitants, fifteen miles from the nearest troops, and burned and destroyed prop- erty to a considerable value. _ General Brooke at San Juan has been | instructed to use the fuil strength of the military forces at his command for the suppression of rioting and the restoration of peace and order in the land. | SENATOR PERXINS BANQUETED. | Entertained at the Sutter Club in | Sacramento. ‘ SACRAMENTO, Nov. 18—A number of | prominent citizens of Sacramento ten- | dered a_banquet to-night at the Sutter Club to Senator Perkins, who made many warm friends during his residence in this city years ago. A large attendance was | present. Frank Miller presided, and ad- dresses of welcome were made by Dr. G. | L.

It is understood that Mr. Neff is averse to the using of his name, but his admirers claim that he is the most popular man in California and his selecticn would bring more general satisfaction to the whole people than any other man's.

ISSUE A MANIFESTO WILL DECLARES THE TIME TO ACT 1 HAS COME. Discontent of the Army Made the Most Of by the Followers of the Spanish Pretender. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Nov. 19.—The Madrid correspondent of the Standard, whose dispatch is forwarded from the Span- ish frontier, says: The state of the army causes anxiety in politi- cal and official circles. It is an._open secret that officers of all ranks and the repatriated soldiers are | discontented—first, at the non-payment | of arrears, and then because they are profoundly mortified at the manner in ! which the war was conducted, which | prevented the army getting a much- | desired opportunity of coping with the | Americans, as they believed the army would have turned the tide in Spain’s favor. Thus far the Republicans have not attempted/to tamper with the loyalty of the army, but the Carlists are posi- tively trying to do so in Catalonia and Valencia. They announce th- impend- ing publication of a manifesto, chiefly addressed to the artillery, declaring that Don Carlos no longer considers himself bound to show any considera- | tion for the present dynasty and Gov- ernment, whose shortcomings and er- rors have involved the loss of both territory and honor. The Carlists’ threats are now so open that all classes denounce their propa- ganda. The Madrid press sarcastically advises the Government not to allow itself again to be painfully surprised by the Carlist rising as it was by the Cuban and Philippine rebellions. Gen- eral Wevler is regarded by Svanish of- ficials as the most powerful and popu- lar amone them. He seems inclined to avoid nolitical intrigues, and even shows a disposition to support Senor Sagasta and the Queen Regent. Neither Marshal Campos nor General Pola- vieja enjoys equal prestige with the army. INTERESTS THE COAST. Postoffice Changes and Pensions for Western Veterans.

San Jose Grange Fighting for the Local Product. SAN JOSE, Nov. 18—San Jose Grange is making a determined fight against the marketing of Oregon prunes in San Jose. Lately, it is charged, many Oregon prunes have been sold here and sent East as Santa Clara County prunes. While this year it is conceded that they are larger than the local prune crop, it | i1s contended that they are inferlor in flavor and that they lack sugar. As a re- sult the local growers are making war on them. It is now said that the Santa Clara Coun(¥ dealers, or a majority of them, will refuse to handle Oregon prunes | in the future. il o MERCEDES CAN BE RAISED.

PRIVATIONS OF WOMAN FROM COPPER RIVER Torn From Husband by the Rapids. ADRIFT IN THE MAD WATERS' FINALLY RESCUED MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE. Her Clothing Gone, She Is Picked Up by the Dora and Brought to Juneau in Male Attire. BY HAL HOFFMAN. Special Dispatch to The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Nov. 10 (by steam- ship Cottage City).—In the cook’s gal- ley of the Alaska Commercial Com- pany’s steamer Dora, which arrived here to-day, was a woman in male at- tire. She was busy washing dishes. She had on a pair of dilapidated shoes, which some one had thrown to the four winds of Copper River, and through which peeped several pink toes; ragged trousers, no suspenders, an old under- shirt and a red handkerchief for-head covering. But it was evident the woman had the sympathy and respect of the passengers and crew. Her ap- pearance was a magnet, to people on the dock, who swarmed amidship to see her. Perceiving herself the object of so much doubtful curiosity the poor woman hid herself in humiliation. Her story is far tougher than she looked. John Henderson and wife, not much more than a year out of Finland—even to which uttermost part of the earth had spread news of the riches of the Klondike—sailed for New York, thence traveled to Alaska, and found them- selves last May facing the Valdez gla- cier, that icy gatevay to the Copper River Valley. They sold everything they owned in Finland and invested the money in transportation and a fine outfit sufficient for two years’ prospect- ing. They didn’t find any gold in the Cop- | per River country, and about a month ago decided to come out. John Hen- derson and wife and another man, without experience in navigation suf- ficient to steer a prairie schooner over a smooth surface, attempted to go through the fearfu.l rapids of the Cop- per River Canyon in a small boat— where the water rears and plunges as it does over the seal rocks at the CIiff House on a stormy day. Mrs. Henderson was kindly permit- ted by the two men to remain in the | boat while they went above on the edge | of the canyon with a small rope to let | | the boat down through the rapids as they walked along. The line parted at a knot. Then away as ' swift as an arrow shot the boat and the good wife. Her farewell was a look of hor- ror and a scream. Who has not seen a kite, whieh has | dropped its tail, whirl in ecircles and | swoop hither and thither in the sky? In that same way rode the boat and Mrs. Henderson through . that water. When they found her she was lying half dead and bent around a boulder by the current. Her boots were gone, her clothing almost torn from her body, and she was bleeding. Their boat and all their effects lost, they stood at the rim of the raging tor- | rent and tried to count the days be- tween them and death by starvation. But the weather was kind to them if the water was not, and in three days they were able fo make their way to an Indian camp on the lower river. The two men divided their clothing with Mrs. Henderson. One gave her his shirt and trousers; the other his coat and shoes. They traveled with the In- dians and finally made their way to a point near Kanik, on Cooks Inlet, where the Dora picked them up. This is the last trip of the Dora for the season, and she stopped at nearly every place where smoke was seen on the shore in order to pick up stragglers and save them from a terrible winter. Captain Johannson did what he could to assist the Hendersons. The husband was set to work as a deckhand and his wife was permitted to make herself useful in the galley. The unfortunate condition of Mrs. Henderson became known to a number of ladies of Juneau through the me- dium of Martha White, a passenger from Cooks Inlet. The latter said she had been running a hotel at Sunrise City, and after a week in Seattle would g0 to her home in Elmhurst, Alameda She ex- hibited a bottle of fine gold which she said was taken from several claims she has acquired in the Resurrection River district. Mrs. Major Orton and Mrs. C. L. Parish interested themselves in Mrs. Henderson’s behalf. In the few hours before the Dora sailed to Seattle and probably thence to San Francisco for the winter they had secured for Mrs. Henderson from generous merchants a complete outfit of clothing, from shoes to jacket and hat, and raised by gen- eral subscription and presented to her the sum of $38. These most unfortunate of Copper River gold seekers are going to San Francisco, where they have been told there is a Finnish Consul. whom they will ask to help them get work. In her complete costume Mrs. Henderson looked a tall and attractive woman. The Dora brought down the last of the Copper Riverites. She is the last ship from the westward, and there will be no more communication with that vast section of Alaska till next spring.

SEVERAL FATALLY INJURED WERE REPAIRING TRACK IN A DENSE FOG. They Failed to Hear the Approaching Train and Were Ground to Death Under the ‘Wheels. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—While twenty track hands were at work upon the Pennsylvania Railroad line over the Hackensack, near Jersey City, to-day, they were run down by a local pas- senger train. Eleven of the workmen were killed outright and six were seri- ously injured. Following are the killed: Frank Bodoski. Giuseppe_Colasurdo. Thomas Doherty. Thomas Flannagan. Joseph Faggea. Michael Lawless. Nicola Lucci. Frank Ludowski. Angelo Puggo. Frank Slusmiski)'. Giuseppe Stinziano. The 1nj¥;1red are: Lawrence Hoffman, Michael Miller, Frank Swanzekowski, who will die, John Wangdon. The accident cecurred about two and a half miles west of Jersey City, just beyond the Hackensack River bridge. At that point there are four tracks, two devoted to passenger and two to freight traffic. At the north are the shops and tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rajlway. ¥rots v Foreman Quirk took out a gang of nineteen men at § a. m. to repair track | No. 4—the westbound freight track—at that place. Quirk saw that the fog meant danger, so he sent ahead two men, Lawless and Doherty, to give warning of approaching trains. Law- Jess was to go west and Doherty east and cover all the tracks. They were to shout warnings at the approach of. trains. The passenger tracks were kept | busy with incoming suburban trains and the smoke and steam from these trains helped to make the atmosphere more dense. Suddenly at about 8:30 there was a shout from Lawless, who was the ad- vance guard of the gang. “Train No. 3, he cried. It was an eastbound freight train that came along slowly, leaving behind it a heavy pall of smoke. The men who were scattered along the track jumped out of the way. Almost all of them jumped over to track No, 1, the eastbound passenger track. The heavy smoke enveloped them, and the men, many of them new hands on the road, shivered with fright, for they could not see and could scarcely hear the ap- proaching trains that followed the freight. TLawless, too, had jumped across to track No. 1, keeping all the time a sharp lookout. Suddenly there was a rumble of wheels and the shriek of a whistle. The Millstone local, delayed by fog, was coming along at the rate of forty miles an hour. Lawless was struck and thrown thirty feet away, mangled and bleeding. On went the train. Engineer Van Norstand had scarcely noticed the man’s body flying through the air when the engine struck Doherty; then it plowed into the mass of cowering men who stood huddled together on the track. “It was an awful sight,” said the en- gineer, later. “There was a mass of legs and arms and heads flying through the air. I was drenched with blood. I knew that something terrible had hap- pened, and put on the air brakes as hard as possible. “When the train came to a standstill the passengers rushed out. The track was covered with blood. The meadows and the track looked like a battlefield covered with bodies. The shrieks of the dying drowned the cries of the hor- rified passengers. Women fainted:and men turned away in horror. .Of the nineteen men, nine were dead and six wounded. Some one telephoned quickly to Jersev City. Many of the bodies still writhing in mortal agony, were placed on the train and borne to the city. Two of the wounded died’on the way. A rellef train brought back the others.” S William Quirk, the foreman of the gang of men, made this statement: “The smoke and fog are to blame. My men were in a cloud of smole when the calamity came upon us. I had Mi- chael Lawless stationed about,fifty yards ahead of the gang to give us warning., Lawless was struck first and cut to pleces. My men were mowed down like grass.” There were harrowing scenes when the bodies reached the Pennsylvania railroad yardsiin Jersey City. The rel- atives of the dead were beside them- selves with grief. Half a dozen women were overcome and had to be taken home by the police.

PANA, IIL, Nov. 18.—The town has been kept in a state of terror all evening by numerous encounters between negroes and striking miners. Both are heavily armed and use their ammunition freely. About 7 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Sid Watts, who was returning from the Springside mine, where he had been on duty, was shot from ambush. The bullet took effect in his right arm, which had to be amputated. A’number of residences have been pierced by buillets, and those who are able to do 80 have sent their families to the country.
