Or., Nov. 21. The British thp Atalanta, oarryng a crow of 27 mon and loaded with 2,800 tout of wheat, from Tacoma for South Africa, was wrecked near Alsca bay yesterday morning, ami so far as known tbero are but three survivors. Tho cause of tho wreck of the Ata lanta ami the circumstances attending it, piod nee a talo moat harrowing. The iniHiiianagement of tho vessel by its officers is asciihed as the cause of the disastor, and the crippling of the Ya qnina life-saving station by a penurious policy of that department of tbo gov ernment, adds horror to tho situation. The only three survivors uvcr that some of their comrades on board the ship may yet be alivo. While the members of the lifo-enving ctuw are in sight of the wreck, they aru so far powerless to render assistance, owing to the want of apparatus. Meanwhilo couriers scoured the beach and coun try adjacent for 10 miles, to procuro horsoB to bring up tho lifeboat and beach cart. The Atalanta lay about a mile off shore, in a field of furious breakers. Every swell passed over her works. Each hour a section of tho vessel was seen to fall away, and thu timbers flout toward tbo shore A strong and steady southwester aided tho enrront from tho same direction to bear tho wieckago rapidly to the heath. It was this pow er ami agency, and this alune that en abled thu three sailors who survive to escape tho Lite ol their brethren. Is a lifeboat filled with water, partly dis abled with wreckage, and without ours to direct thoir craft, tbey wore bnrno to teria tirma, thus passing over a course of nearly two miles. One man, who wus clad in simply a shirt, more hardy than the others, made his way along the boach. He found farmhouse anil announced the news, nnd solicited assistance for hit companions. When tho unfortunates on the beach wore readied they were so benumbed withoold as to appear beyond help. It has required nearly 24 hours for ono of them to reguin his Miners of mind and body. Tho rescued sailors havo been taken into oabins along the beach. The most complete and reliable story of tho wteck obtainable comes from Frank Fogartv, a member of the Yaqolna. life-saving crew, who hat patiolled the bench in the vicinity of the wreck. Captain Clark ordered him back to tho station, which had boon entirely deserted, except by tho wives ol tho orew, to guard thoro tonight. "The officers ol the Atalanta paid the penalty of their folly with their lives," said Pognrty. "Not ono escaped, un less ho is penned up in tho forecastle, to Im) released tonight or tomorrow. "Tho survivors iiavo sturlod tho story down on tho beach thut the wreck is more the result of cutclcssuesa on the purt of tho captain than of adverse weather. It Is to tho effoct that tho Atalanta was racing down tho coast with another sailing ship to mako bet tor time, and having a more advan tageous tack, against the southwester, he steered close into C'uie Foul weather. Not seeing the lighthouse, lie supposed the vessel to be some distance from shore. This caused him to continue his southeast tuck too long. "The loglssik at the lifo-savlng sta tion shows that Thursday morning, be tween midnight and 0 o'clock, when the Atalanta was 011 this tuck, the Capo Foitlweatber lighthouse was toncoalod by fog and heavy shoots of tain. Nev ertheless, tbo survivors, according to report, do not excuse tho Hilicy of the captain. Had not a race been on, they say, he would have taken no such chances." Atalanta - nt. .1 Kr.nn Tar. on.

She was built in 18MB, owned by N. Hill, of Scotland, and was woith probably tso.ooo.

ANARCHY IN PORTO RICO. Brigand. flylPt Their Trad, kt Interior. Washington, Nov. 31.-TI.C cabinet session today wat devoted to a large extent to consideration of complaints that have readied the war department, alleging that a state of practical an archy prevails In Porto Hico. These complaints asserted that the lawless elements are committing depredation, of tbo gravest character, and the seri ousness of the situation is increased by the fact that United States troops likewise have been guilty of gross uiis conduot. Secretary Alger bus oabled Goneral Biooke, inquiring as to the accuracy of the complaints. Tho most serious allegations are against brigands and lawless elements in the smaller towns away from the coast. It is said that taking o.hant age of the unsettled state of tbo coun try, duo to the transfer of tho govern ment from Spain to the United States, bands of men have oiganizcd for rob bory ami rapine, burning houses and plantataions and levying tribute upon tho people wherever possible In one case, it is said, they made a raid on a small town of about 1,600 inhabitants, IB miles from tho nearest troops, and burned and destroyed property to a considerable value.

So far, nothing bus been ilono by the administration toward curbing the insurgents in their operations, save vetbal representations fiom the Amati cun commanders to Aguinaldo, in which it has been pointed out to him that it would be good policy, in view of the probability of tho annexation of tho islands by the United States, to pursue a course that would not be ob noxious to the United States. But tho situation ts now realized to be critical. So far as the Spaniards aro conoernod, perhaps they can be loft to take care of themselves, but the foreign residents at Iloilo are differently regaided. MORE SHIPS FOR NAVY.

Senator Lodgo, in an address at tho tioston uo.ua'. Shoo club's banipjet last night, said in part: , . "Tho tuecess of tho English-speaking race, which has carried it all over tho wotld and made it the great indiistnal and commercial people of tho earth to day, bus boon duo to tho principle of telf holp. But there nro certuin things which the spirit of American enter prise must look to the government to do. "You cannot expect men to cany your products and to oxtond your trade by establishing themselves in a distant lortion ol tho earth unless you have a government that it! ready to proteot ihorn at all times and ut all hazards. "Wo want no commerce at the can non's mouth, but wo do want it under stood that wherever an Ameiican is en gaged in business lie ia to bo protected and that there is a nnvy of the United fitutea big enough to gnaid him wher ever he sees fit to go. Therefore I say that wo need a huge navy us a protec tion on the son as well us on the land. "The question that confronts us is a larger one than what wo shall do with the Philippines. They say we aro not an Eustein power unless we hold those islands. Wo are toduy the greatest power in the Pacific ocean. We hold one entire tido of that ocean except the outlet which England has in China. Wo hold the Half wuy houso in Hono lulu, where all ships must stop when the Nicaragua canal is built, as it will be. Aro we going to allow tho ports of the enat to bo closed to ns and open to Itussia, France and Germany alone? Or an- we going to stand up and say with England and Japan, the ports of China must be closed to all ot they must be open to all? "It is going to bo a struggle, in my judgment, between the maiitime na tions and the non-maritime nations. It is going to be a struggle to see whether tho pooplo who speak tho English tongno are to go to the wall, or whether they are to have their share in the commerce of tho caith wherever they fly their flag. I believe that the United Statet it entitled to its share of the world's commerce 1 do not bo liove that we should he shut out fiom it, und I do not think that there is tho least danger of war unywhero if we aro far-sighted enough to make it known to the world just what we want und just what we intend to do.

Hpuln' Attitude. Paris, Nov. 10. At the daily ses sion of tho Americun peace commis sioners, tho Spanish memorandum pre sented at yesterday's Joint tostion was up for oonsideiation. No unofficial person knows tho contents of tbe docu ment, hot it it sute to assume that, added to her insistence 011 the reserya tion of her Philippine sovereignty and her piojiosition to arbitiute the con struction of tho third article of tbe pro toool, Spuin has mude two other Im portant ttatemcntt. First, that on the high ground ol financial probity she cannot allow any discussion hero of tho validity of her action in pledging tho resources of tho Philippines for payment of the Philip pine debt. Second, that In connection with the Ameiican pioposul to leimhiiise Sptin for her pacific expetidituies in the Philippines, she cannot admit of any inquiry as to how she spent the pro ceeds of the loans based ,on Philippine pledges. If Spain hns assumed this attitude, and it it believed she haa dono to, she practically compels tho American com mitsioneis to consider at least tho en tire Philippine debt and its assump tion by the United States. It is difficult to nndeistnnd how the Americans can icply to this in any other munner thnn by outlining their position and giving the Spanish a time limit in which to accept tho proposi tions of the united States.
