Went Down at Cape Cod With
All on Board.
ONE HUNDRED WERE DROWNED
Not a Single Survivor Struck on the
Cape During: the Gale Many Bodies
Save Drifted Ashore. v
Highland Light, Mass., Deo. 1. The
steamer Portland, of the Boston and
Portland line, has been lost on Cape
Cod, with all on board. The lifesav
ing men, through a' blinding storm,
yesterday morning at 6 o'clock heard a
distress whistle, and last night at mid
night the body of a man was found on
shore. On the body of the man was a
life belt marked "Steamer Portland, of
Portland." A gold watch in his pooket
had stopped at 10 o'clock. This man
was well dressed, wore black olothes
and tan shoes, and had light hair and
mustache. A piece of card in his
pocket bore the, words, "Johu W., Con
grees street, Portland." The body of
a large woman, .without '"covering of
any kind, washed ashore at Pamet
river, but there was no means of
identification. : ,
It is believed that the Portland was
disabled by the storm at 10 o'clook last
night, being unable longer to hold up
against the gale, and drifted oh Peaked
Hill bar, and went to pieoes. No part
of the ship has drifted ashore, and it is
not known just where she struck.
Boxes of tobacco, clothing, cheese, oil,
etc, have been washed ashore, also
life preservers marked with the words
"Steamer Portland."
Bodies of Victims Washed Ashore.
Boston, Dec. 1. Dr. Maurioe Rich
ardson, of Beacon street, this city, was
at his summer home, Wellfleet, during
the storm, and ' corroborated the early
account of the loss of the Portland,
for he saw two of the bodies washed
ashorA, and on them were life preserv
ers marked with the vessel's name.
Dr. Blchardson was on the first train
from Cape Cod which arrived in this
oity late tonight
"I saw two of the bodies picked
up," said theldoctor. "One was prob
ably that ofPa deckhand, a man of
about 80. ''had on a life preserver
marked 'Portland.'; The other body
was that of a stout woman. She, too,
wore a life preserver with the steamer's
name on it. Wreckage is coming
ashore for 16 miles along the coast.
Among the wreckage were cases of lard
directed to Portland."
In addition to the two bodies, Dr.
Richardson brought news that at
Orleans the body of a girl about 20 was
found. She had a gold watch and a
ring marked "J. O. E." Her watch
had stopped at 9:17. There are three
bodies at Nausett, eight at Orleans and
88 at Truro and Wellfleet. The double
wheel of the Portland caruo ashore at
Orleans.
There were about 100 persons aboard
the Portland, including 61 passengers.
The Portland was ouilt at Bath, Me.,
in 1890, and was a side-wheel steamer
of 1,817 tons net burden. Her length
was 830 feet, beam 43 and depth 16
feet. She was valued at $250,000, aud
was fully insured.
Washed Ashore at Highland Light. '
Provincetown, Mass., Deo. 1. Two
bodios that came ashore at Highland
Light and are supposed to be from the
Portland have been brought here. One
is that of a well-dressed man. The
other body is that of a woman with
only shoes and stockings on.
IN FEAR OF AMERICA.
European Powers Dared Not Interfere
In Philippine Matters.
Berlin, Deo. 1. The Cologne Ga
zette says: "International envy has
prevented Europe from opposing the
excessive demands of the United States
upon Spain. Although they might
have profited by the situation, the pow
ers feared to make a bitter enemy of
America, with the consequent closing
of her markets, if they oppcsed the an
nexation of the Philippines."
Other German papers argue that
the United States would never have
dared to impose such conditions had
it not been for England's support.
This conviction of the Anglo American
agreemnet, giving the two powers the
virtue of control Of the "far Eastern
question," intensified the situation.
It is believed Great Britain will get
Chusan as compensation and both Eng
land and America are suspeoted of hav
ing some disagreeable surprise in store.
Sagasta Breathes Kaaler.
Madrid, Deo. L Senor Sagasta
showed much emotion on learning that
the Spanish commissioners in Paris
had formally agreed to sign the treaty
of peace on the American conditions,
but he assured his friends 'that he was
oonvinced he had adopted the best
course in the interests of the country
and the monarchy, adding that the
news had lifted a great weiuht from the
minds of the people. The Bank of
Spain has made a fresh advance to the
government of 60,000,000 pesetas, to
cover the expense of repatriating the
Spanish troops from the Philippines
and the Antilles. The republican pa
pers violently attack both the govern
ment and the Americans.
Gold on Ban Juan Hill.
Wichita, Kan., Deo. 1. Dr. J. W.
Langford, of Arizona, and 18 of Roose
velt's Rough Rideis have gone to San
Juau hill, Cuba, to prospect lor gold.
In an interview here Langford said:
"Because of its pleasant climate I be
lieve Cuba to be a better gold field
than the Klondike. I think Cuba is
one of the bests prospecting countries in
the world. I expect to locate a claim
I on San Juan hill that a company will
i be able to work with large profit."
MUSTERING OUT.
Volunteer Army Will Be Keduced by
' 80,000 Men.
New York, Dec. 1. A speoial to the
Herald from Washington says: One
of the first results of the deteiminatiorr
of the peace negotiations at Paris will;
be an order for the mustering out of as:
many as 80,000 men of tho voluneteri
army. The orders thus far cover about
85,000 men. but not more than 85,000
have actually been mustered out.
The present army consists of about
180,000 men, exclusive of all ordered
mustered out, 52,000 of whom are reg
ulars. The forces contemplated for
the islands ate: .
For the Philippines, 20,000;, for
Porto Rico, about 7,000; for Cuba,
not more than 80,000. '
This, on the basis of 75,000 men for
the regular establisnment which is
the number now reckoned on by com
petent military forecaster here wiil
leave 20,000 men tor frontier and sta
tion work in this country. Secretary
Alger recommends 100,000 men.
There are now 'BO, 000 volunteers,
who are entirely useless, in view of the
technical cessation of hostilities. Or
ders for the mustering out of these will
be issued without delay, which will
leave 100,000 men in the army. It
was recalled by army officers that the
regulur army of 25,000 men has never
been up to its limit of enlisted strength,
and that the army of 62,000 men under
the Hull bill lacked 10,000 of complete
enlistment..
- Secretary Alger lefused to say
whether he would ask for more'pay for
enlisted men, but it is asserted that it
will be impossible to secure the enlist
ment of 75,000 men unless there-be.
granted greater pay than $18 a month
for each man. An increase of pay for
privates in the servioe will be one of
the almost certain developments of leg
islation for army reorganization, the
argument being based upon the danger
ous climates to be endured in the new
possessions.
The New Army.
Washington, Deo. 1. There is re
newed talk of reorganization of the
regular army by the present session of
congress, and that a bill is now under
preparation by the war department.
RAN ON A REEF.
Steamer Detroit Wrecked on Shelter
Island Passengers and Crew Saved.
Seattle, Deo. 1. The steamer Cot
tage City, from Alaska, brings news of
the wreck of the steamer Detroit on
Shelter island. Her crew and passen
gers, numbering 27, were saved.
The Detroit ran between Juneau and
Haines Mission. While making her
regular! run Thanksgiving day she
struck a reef on Shelter island. The
weather was terribly thick and a heavy
snow storm raging. The rock tore
great holes in her, as the engines
pounded themselves to pieces, en
deavoring to drag her from her rook
bound position. The, water poured
through her, and had it not been for
the tightness in winch she was held by
the rooks she would have gone down,
drowning all on board.
The passengers and orew were land
ed on Shelter island, where they are
housed with scarcely any provisions,
under tarpaulins.
The purser and two seamen went to
Juneau in a small boat for relief, arriv
ing there just before the Cottage City
left. They say the survivors are in a
critical condition, shivering with. cold
around a fire and without food.
A steamer has gone to the rescue with
relief.
Smokeless Powder Factory Burned.
Pinole, Cal., Deo. 1, A disastrous
fire at the works of the California Pow
der Company today destroyed several
buildings and muoh valuable ma
chinery in the gun-cotton department,
entailing a loss of $25,000 and the tem
porary discontinuance of the manufac
ture of smokeless powder. The com
pany had just made a contract with the
United States government to supply an
immense quantity of smokeless powder.
Kegulars May Go to Manila.
San Francisco, Dec. 1. A rumor is

that the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sev
enth, Thirteenth and Twentieth in
fantry will be assigned to duty on the
islands and that some of the volunteers
stationetd there will be returned to this
country for mustering out.
Trial or Oakland Brutes.
Oakland, Cal., Doc. 1. The trial of
W. A. Brandes, accused of the murder
of his 15-year-old daughter, has been
set for December 1. He broke down
in court and wept when the charge was
read. His wife will be tried on the
same charge on December 6. She is
quite unoonoerned, and, like her hus
band, has pleaded not guilty. They
are aocused of having beaten tho child
to death and then m ade it appear to be
a case of suicide.
Sealing Question Tnsettled.
Washington, Nov. 80. The Behring
sea question has reaohed such an ad
vanced stage in the considerations of
the Anglo-American commission that a
special meeting was held today to hear
the report of the committee. After
over two hours devoted to considering
the report and the views of the re
spective sides, it was stated that no
conclusion had been reached.
London, Dee. 1. The Daily Mail
this morning makes the following an
nouncement: "We are able to state that on the in
vitation of the secretary of state for the
colonies, Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
some English capitalists have indicated
their readiness to endeavor to revive
the sugar industry iu the West Indies
it bounties are abolished. Sir Thomas
Lip ton la prepared to spend 1,000,000
pounds, and it is believed that some ar
rangements will be arrived at."

She Finally Accepts the
HUMBLED, BUT YET HAUGHTY
Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines
Are Now American Colonies Span
ish Resources Exhausted No Condi
tions Are Attached to Her Consent.
Paris, Nov. 80. Spain has aocepted
the United States' offer of $20,000,
000, and at a joint session of the peaoe
commissions this afternoon consented
without condition to the relinquish
ment of Cuba, and to oede Porto Bioo,
Guam and the Philippine islands.
The document presenting this accept
ance contained only 800 words. It
opened with a reference to the unequal
terms of the United States, and said
that the Spanish commissioners, after
having taken cognizance of- the terms
proposed by the Americans, replied that
their government had tried to give as
equitable an answer as possible, but
that they were not prepared to commit
their government to the aoceptanoe of
the principle embodied in' the argu-
UNCLE SAM'S NEW TERRITORY,
The above map shows the territory that has beta, or will undoubtedly be, added to the
United States as a result of the war with Spain Cuba, Porto Rico, the Island of Guam,
or Guahan, In the Ladronet, and a coaling station and port In the Philippines.
The above map and statement was published Immediately following the signing of the
peace protocol, As a result of the Pans conference the United has Rained every point therein

ment Spain rejects these principles,
the note continues, "as she always has
rejected them,''
' Basing her attitude upon the justice
of her cause, the note then says she
still adheres to these principles, "which
she has heretofore invariably formu
lated." t
However, the note adds, in her desire
for peaoe, she has gone so far as to pro
pose oertain compromises, which the
Americans have always rejected. She
has also attempted to arbitrate some of
the material particulars upon which the
two governments differed. These pro
posals for arbitration, It is added, the
Amerioans had equally l ejected. These
allegations in Spain's reply, as to at
tempted arbitration, refer to her pro
posal to arbitrate the construction of
the third article of the protoool, and
also to submit the Spanish colonial debt
of Cuba and the Philippines to arbitra
tion. The last proposition had been
made in a . written communication.
Since its presentation, and in return for
such arbitration, Spain offered to cede
the territory in dispute. The Ameri
cans refused both propositions for arbi
tration. Spain's reply today in substanoe con
tinued by declaring that the United
States has offered as a kind of compen
sation to Spain something very inade
quate to the sacrifices the latter coun
try makes at this moment, and she
feels that the United States' proposals
could not be considered, as equitable.
Spain has, however, exhausted all the
resources of diplomacy and an attempt
to justify her attitude. Seeing that
an acceptance of the proposal made to
Spain is a necessary condition to a con
tinuance of negotiations, and seeing
that the resources of Spain are not such
as to enable her to re-enter upon war,
she is prepared, in her desire to avoid
bloodshed, and from considerations of
humanity and patriotism, to submit to
the conditions of the conquering na
tion, however harsh they may be. She
is therefore to accept the proposals of
the American commission, as presented
at the last sitting.
The reading and the translation of
the document occupied less than five
minutes. At the conclusion of the
translation the commissioners empow
ered Senor Ojeda, secretary of the
Spanish commission, and Seoretary
Moore, of the American commission,
to draw up articles which are to embody
the relinquishment of Cuba by Spain
and the oession of Porto Bico and the
Philippines. These articles, which
may be considered as constituting the
conditions of peaoe, will be ready for
submission on Thursday.
The commissioners left the foreign
offloe immediately after the secretaries
had been directed to prepare the arti
cles of the peace treaty.
There was scarcely any conversation
between the American and Spanish
commissioners after the adjournment.
Among the Americans only the most
grave consideration for their Spanish
colleagues was apparent.

8EVENTY LIVES LOST.
Fatalities From the Atlantto Coast Gale
Hourly Increasing.
i Boston, Mass., Nov. 80. It is known
definitely tonight that more than 70
llves have been lost in the wreoks of
tugs, schooners and ooal barges during
the storm of Saturday night and Sun
day morning, and if the steamer Port
land has gone down, as now seems pos
sible, the liet'of casualties will rise to .

There is scaroely a bay, harbor or in
