TUGS SENT TO THE RESCUE
Passengers Taken off Without Accident
A Dante Kog Prevailed at the Time
of the Strandldg of the Vessel.
Halifax, N. S., Maroh 14. The new
Allan line steamer Castilian, i from
Portland, for Halifax, went ashore at
Gannet rock light, near Yarmouth, this
morning at low tide, in a dense fog,
her compasses being deranged. Two
compartments are full of water, and
tugs have g:ne from Yarmouth to the
soene. ' The Castilian artived at Hali
fax from Liverpool 10 days, ago on her
maiden voyage, and went to Portland
to load cargo for return. ' She is 8,200
net rem istered tonnage, , being the
largest Allan , line steamer afloat.
The ship is in charge of Captain Bar
rett and officers formerly of the steamer
Parisian, the entire crew of the Parisian
having been transferred to the new
boat. The steamer was due to embark
mails and passengers here or Liver
pool. The steamer began leaking immedi
ately after she struck, but the best dis
cipline prevailed among the passengers.
They returned to their berths, and were
callled out again to don life preservers,
which mr.ny were wearing when they
reached arraouth on tugs at 8:16 this
evening. Ilhe passengers and crew all
saved th id r baggage. The steamer
went on it low tide, which will be in
her favor.
The pUoe of the disaster is a few
miles from where the Moravian, of the
Allan line, was lost some years ago.

Rebel! Could Nut M inter Courage
to
Venture Into the Open.
Manila, Maroh 14. The Filipinos
apparently had planned an attack upon
the lines ot Geneial Otia and General
Hale this morning, but their uourage
seemed to flinch, though they fired sig
nals and kept up the fusillade along
the American front for an hour,
Our troops, in obedienoe to ordeis, re
Trained from shooting, with the exoep
tion of two companies of newly arrived
men, who replied until they had sup
pressed the regiment of Filipinos.
This body of rebels seemed under bet
ter leadership than most of the others.
A white man was seen among the offi
cers, endeavoring to lead them to the
attack, but apparently all efforts to in
duce them to leave the trenches were
futile. ,
The American authorities in Manila
say the city is now so effectively po
liced that a serious outbreak is impos
sible. They believe that the natives
are cowed.
The presence of the families of VB
lers is discouraged, and many are leav
ng on board the United States trans
ports, some going to Japan for tempor
iry residence. Geneial Otis has re
marked: "Manila is no place for
women. This is war, not a picnic."
The British cruiser Narcissus has
sailed tor various ports in the island of
Luzon, having on board British sub
jects who desire protection.
IN A FEARFUL STORM.
Steamer ravonlH'i Holler Rooked In
Their Cradles.
Liverpool, March 14. The officers
of the Cunard line steamer Pavonia.
Captain Atkins, from Liverpool, Jan
uary 34, for Boston, which was towed
into St. Michaels on February 1, dis
abled, and which arrived here yester
day morning in tow of two tugs, from
Punta del Gado, Azores, maintain the
utmost reticence regarding the steam
er's experiences. It was gleaned from
the crew, however, that the Pavonia
passed through a terrible ordeal. Her
troubles began with a terrible gale on
January 80. For three days the en
gines were slowed and mountainous
seas tossed the Pavonia like a shuttle
cock. Then her boilers began to move
in their cradles and to bump against
each other. Eventually the engineers,
after the most arduous labors, secured
the boilers with ropes and chains, and
the bumping ceased, but it was found
that the steam pipes were broken.
The crew assert that the vessel rolled
so tremendously that it would have
been impossible sometimes to walk on
her innersides. Three boats were lost,
part of the port rail and the galley
were carried away, and tiie bakehouse
was stove in. As the Pavonia lies at
the dock she. presents a pitiable, dam
aged condition.

Taooma, Wash., March 14. Orient

from the Republics Filipina, the in

"Splendid demonstration of the Ca

TROUBLE ON THE PORCUPINE. '
American! Threaten to Drive the Cana
dian! Awajr.
Washington, March 13. There is
grave danger of an armed collision be
tween the American and Canadian
miners in the Poroupine creek region,
over the Alaskan boundary question.
Despite the fact that the location of
the boundary has been determined be
yond any reasonable doubt, the Cana
dians have encroached 'six miles or
more on the American side, where they
claim the right to stake claims and
search for gold and deny the same
rights to Americans.
The Americans have threatened to
expel the Canadians by force, and it is
feared that a conflict may be brought
on. , ,-.... . . , -
The situation is so serious that upon
information contained in a letter from
Governor Brady, of Alaska, to the sec
retoary of the interior, the secretary of
state has oalled the attention of the
British government to the 1 actions of
the Canadians, and has asked to have
them recalled to theit own territory,

Six hundred men witnessed the exe

To Govern Cuba.
Washington, March 13. The ad
ministration is contemplating a change
in some features of the government of
Cuba, It is probable that the military
government will, to a certain extent,
be replaced by a civil government. The
head of the government must, of
course, remain military, but the plan
in contemplation is to have oivil offi
cers in plaoe of military men in the
cabinet and subordinate positions.
Jt is believed that experts in differ
ent lines, such as finance and revenue
and the management of the general
business of the island and of the differ
ent municipalities will get along more
smoothly than the army officers.
Completing the Rolls.
Havana, March 13. The only
ob-
Steele now in the way of paying off the J
Cuban troops is the completion of the
roils, a work which is being hastened
by Inspector-General Roloff. He says
that in some cases the rosters of the
commands must be created, as the
rosters are either missing, or too
feotive to be useful. He points
old
that the insurgents often have
no
paper, pens or ink.
General Gomez explains that 6,000
commissioned and and 10,000 non
commissioned officers are relatively
large numbers in an army of 32,000
privates, but that these officers, in
many cases, received' theii appoint
ments because the Cubans have had no
other way ol recognizing bravery and
stimulating entnusiasm.

San Francisco, March IS. The wai
department has informed the looal
army officials that four batteries of the
Sixth United States artillery will bs

stood that the Second volunteer engi
neers will be recalled, leaving the ar
tillery as the sole garrison for the Ha
waiian islands. It is probable that the
Twenty-fourth United States infantry
will be sent here from Fort Douglas,
Utah, and Fort Russell, Wvo., where

Murder at Caguay
Chicago. March 13. The Tribune
prints the following special correspond
ence from Porto Rico, from a Tribune
correspondent:
San Juan de Porto Rico, March 13.
The real situation in Porto Rico is
not understood. People in the States
generally regard Porto Rioo as a sort of
haven uf peace. The war department
has just requested General Henry that
he immediately report how many regu
lar troops he could spare from the
island. The One Hundred and Forty
seventh New York started home last
Sunday. The regular regiments that
remain are so scattered that in many
places 'where there is necessity for a
I strong force only a corporal's guard
can be mustered, and territories where
, there are continual mutterings and the
greatest evideuoe of discontent at
American rule, are unguarded. Gen
eral Henry is in a dilema. He has
' only three regiments of troops the
Eleventh infantry, the Nineteenth and
the Fifth cavalry, a,nd two batteries ot
the Fifth heavy artillery. '
,. "I need twice the troops 1 have,"
said the general at his residence in San
juan
"Because of the easy victory of
our troops here in the war and in the
apparent friendliness ot ; the natives to
the American soldiers when they in
vaded the island, a notion prevails in
the States that there is little necessity
for a strong force to maintain order in
the island. The idea is erroneous.
The conditions here are alarming.
These people have been given every
opportunity, 'but they are clamoring
now for local self-government. . They
are no more fit for local self govern
ment than I am to run a locomotive.
More troops are needed in the island.
The seeds of disoontent, planted by
professional agitators, are rapidy grow
ing, and can be kept down only by a
strong military foroe.
"The ill-feeling between the natives
and the American troops seems to grow
stronger every day. The American
officers have to maintain the greatest
vigilanoe to prevent their men from
wreaking vengeance on the natives, es
pecially on the native police, for acts
of violence that are continually com
mitted against the troops."
PREDICTS AN INSURRECTION.
Colouel Bnbbell Tells of Conditions In
Porto Kleo.
Chioago, March 18. A special to
the Tribune from New York is as foU
owa: '
"The Porto Rlcana want independ
ence," aaid Colonel William P. Hub
bell, commander of the Fourteenth
regiment, today, on bis return from
Porto Rioo.
Colonel fiubbell declared his belief
that an insurrection of the natives of
Porto Bic0 Abound to
come sooner or
later. He says every evidenoe of the
forthcoming uprising was given in
Porto Rico, especially in the latter part
of the stay of the regiment there. He
said:
"The demonstrations made at our
depar'ure convinced ns that the major
ity of the natives were glad to get rid
of ns. Our first difficulties on the
island were caused by our suppression
of a secret society known as the Black
Hand. It was organized on the same
lines with the Ku Klux Klan in this
country. A plot was formed, of which
we obtained ample proof, to enter our
barraoks by stealth and put the entire
portion of the regiment which were at
Caguay to the machete. Fortunately,
we were plaoed on oar guard, and the
oonspiracy was frustrated."

Washington, Maroh 18. The state-
mailt can be repeated on the authority
