not lamented by us. It ia our ambition to
sell goods, and the better the qualities the

Lack of sales in these cheaper grades leaves
too many on our racks, and to give them

STAIN ACCEDES
TO OUR DEMANDS
Spanish Commissioners Declare Tnsj
Yieli to Snjerior Force.
YIELD TO AVOID
HORRORS OF WAR
Cession of the Entire Philippine Archi
pelago and the Sulu Islands and
the Sale of the Carolines is Agreed
To Conclusion of a Peace Treaty
Now Near at Hand European
Powers Not Pleased.
Paris, Nov. 28. Spain has acceded
to the demands of the United States,
and agreed to cede the entire Philippine
archipelago and the Sulu islands, and to
sell the Caroline islands. This practic-
ally insures the conclusion of a treaty of
peace between Spain and the United
States in the near future.
Paris, Not. 28. The two peace com
missions were in separate session all
this morning. The joint commission
met at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and the
Spanish commissioners immediately an
nounced their acceptance of the Ameri
can demands. The Spanish acceptance
was made verbally, and less than ten
minutes were consumed in rendering it
into the English for the Americans. The
Spanish commissioners announced that
they were authorized by their govern
ment to reply that the American propo
sitions were inadmissible on legal prin
ciples, but that all diplomatic -resources
had been exhausted, and the Spanish
commission was now aBked to accept or
reject the American proposition. ! Spain,
inspired by patriotism and humanity
and to avoid the horrors of war, resigns
herself to the power of the victor. She
accepts the offered conditions in order
to conclude a treaty of peace. Through
out the controversy Spain had the
6trongeBt arguments, and as in positions
so diametrically opposed, the American
offer of $20,000,000 was not a fair sum.
Nevertheless, the reply continued, Spain
desired to avoid any further effusion of
blood and further disorder, and conclud
ed to accept the American offer uncon
ditionally and thus bow to the superior
power of the victor. The secretaries
were then ordered to prepare treaty,
articles, embodying the the. cession of
Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines
and payment by the United States of
$20,000,000, for submission to a meeting
which will be held next Wednesday. .
The American demands include the
acquisition of the whole of the Philip
pine and Sulu groups" for $20,000,000,
and it is also understood the United
States will purchase the Caroline group,
'The question of the debt of Cuba is left
unsettled. The next meeting will take
place Wednesday.
There is no denying that . the whole
European continent will . bitterly resent
the American acquisition of the Philip
pines. As to the general sentiment, W. T.
Stead, who has just' returned from a tour
of France, Belgium Germany, Russia,
Austria, Turkey, and Italy, who has seen
the highest politicians in each country,
and in some cases their rulers, ' said to-

day to a correspondent of the Associated
PreBS : '
"Outside of England I have not met a
single non-American who is not opposed
to the expansion of the United States;
nor through my whole tour of Europe
have I met a single European who did
receive the protestations of genuine sin
cerity with which the Americans en
tered upon the war with more or less
mock incredulity."
Stead reports that the bitterest hostil
ity of all was found at the Vatican.
Scalded to Death.
Stockton, Cal., Nov. 28. The most
disastrous accident in the history of
Stockton occurred this morning at 4 :20,
near Fourteen-Mile slough, when a part
of the boiler of the river steamer T. C.
Walker, which left San Francisco at 6
o'clock last night, was blown out, kill
ing six and dangerously wounding eleven
persons, while probably fifteen or twenty
others were more or less bably hurt.
The T. C. Walker was owned by the
California Navigation and Improvement
Company, and ran between this city
and San Francisco.
A BLIZZARD IN '
BOSTON' HARBOR
Twenty-Nine Vessels Hare
Been Wrecked.
FURY OF STORM
PREVENT RESCUE
Break of Dawn Revealed One or More
Battered Hulks on Every Reef
Few of the Wrecked Vessels Have
Been Identified.
Boston, Nov. 28. Tags returning to
this city at noon, after making a tour of
the harbor, report twenty-nine vessels
of all sizes ashore or sunk in or near
Boston harbor. Seven large schooners
and two Baltimore canal barges are
completely wrecked, and it is estimated
that thirty lives have been lost. Only
one body has been recovered. More
than a dozen have been reported in the
surf at Hull, and efforts are being made
to recover them.
Daylight this morning revealed the
awful havoc of the storm in Boston har
bor. Not since 1852 have the elements
caused such destruction of property and
loss of life so near the city. Tugs sent
out to explore the harbor found on ev
ery shoal and reef some ice covered ves
sels being dashed to pieces by the waves.
The raging waters thus, far prevent any
attempt to recover the bodies seen float
ing among the debrie, and it may be
days before an accurate list of those lost
can be obtained. The list of deaths as
reported thus far is as follows :
From the schooner Calvin Baker,'
three unknown sailor drowned, one fro
zen in the rigging.
Schooner Abel C. Babcock, entire
crew, supposed number nine, names
unknown.
Schooner Samuel W. Tiiton, all hands
lost, supposed to number four.
From other wrecks in the harbor,
thirteen men.
Disaster Near Gloucester.
Gloucester, Mass., Nov. 28. Nine
vessels were lost in a blizzard near this
port, but nothing could be learned this
morning as to the loss ot the lives. It is
believed the crews of nearly all the
crafts escaped.
Captain and' His Son Perished.
Salem, Mass., Nov. 28. Two mem
bers of the crew of the schooner Bertha
A. Cross were rescued from House isl
ands, off Manchester, today, nearly
dead, having been without shelter or
food for thirty hours. From them it
was learned that the schooner was lost
on the rocks Saturday, and Captain
Wallace Thurston and his eon, John,
perished. .

Nkw York, Nov. 28. Points in east

will not be cleared until tomorrow.
