Yaqnina. 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."

ANARCHY IN PORTO RICO.

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.

Washington, Nov. 21. News of a

touching the situation in tho Philip
pines. Tho admiral sent two of his
warships, the Charleston and tho Con
coid, some time ago, to the southward
from Manila to ascertain whether there
was truth in reports that tho insurgents
bad extended thoir activities in that
direction. Today ho cabled as fol
lows: "Manila, Nov. 21. Secretary of the

Glass is commander of the Charles
ton. 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,

ADDRESS OF 8ESAT0E LODGE
TV Will Be Forced to Declare That the
Port of China Bo Opened to All
Nation or to Son.
Boston, Sot. 10. 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. Let our govern
ment have wisdom in its foreign policy
and its treatment of our merchant mu
rine, and the genuis of American in

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.
