TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE DROWNED Fifty-sii Vessels 'WrecM Forty-nine ' Hopelessly Stranflei ANOTHER STORM IS RAGING Rescue and Wrecking Operations at Many Points Greatly Impeded Five Bodies Washed Ashore From the Steamer Portland. Boston, Nov. 30. The news of the loss of the Bteamer Portland off Cape Cod and the death of more than one hundred and fifty persons, comprising the passengers and crew of the steamer, and news from hitherto unheardfrom points on Cape Cod, showing that at least a score and a half of vessels have been wrecked along that shore, with the loss of twelve lives, has come as a direct climax to the report of the disasters re suiting from Sunday night's storm. There are still other places to be heard from on both sides of the cape, which have not been reached by train on ac count of washouts, and which are cut off from other communication by broken wires, blocked highways and chattered bridges. Up to this morning, while the total loss of life cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy, it is known that more than 200 persons periehed. An attempt to estimate the financial losses sustained by the shipping inter ests is difficult, but it appears that the bulk of the damage was done between Cape Ann, where a score or more of ves sels were lost, and Cuttyhunk, where the steamer Warwick is on the rocks. From present reports it is known that fifty -six vessels have been wrecked to tally, while forty-nine are ashore, with hardly a chance of being saved. Five Bodies Recovered. Orleans, Mass., Nov. 30. Five bodies have been recovered here from the Port land. The vessel was wrecked just north of Cape Cod. Wreckage and p great many bodies are drifting south probably as far as Nantucket. The bod ies of George W. Delany, of Boston, and Mrs. C. Mitchell, of North Eaaton, have been identified among those which have washed ashore here. Another Snow Storm Raging. Boston, Nov. 30. Another heavy northeast snow storm began here this morning. It will greatly impede work at points where vessels were wrecked. New York Storm-Bound. New York, Nov. 30. This vicinity is again storm-bound. While the rain storm which began last night, followed today by snow, is not as severe as the blow of Saturday and Sunday, it has bad the effect of continuing the blockade of the railroads and is causing much delay to traffic.

Barton at the Bed Cross headquarters in this city, to ask his aid in sending relief to the sick and starving women and chil dren at Las Vilas, Sancti Spiritus, and Trinidad, in Santa Clara province. The general stated that the suffering there was more intense than in any other por tion of the island, and that if the relief did not reach them soon it would be too late. General Gomez said that he would lay this matter before the president if he was received. - The general said that there was about 4500 families at Sancti Spiritus who have absolutely nothing. . They fled from the cities to the hills and are now existing on what they can hunt. As to the pop ulation of the city itself, where the Spaniards are the general was unable to speak. Mr. Barton assured the Cuban leader that he would do what he could, but that the supplies which he would send would be only a temporary relief.

THREE ARTICLES AGREED UPON Ttis Formulated Protocol Agreement Discussed. paign before Santiago, and bring them to this country. Maps showing the lo cation of these graveis, the names of the deceased, the respective regiments to which they belonged and their next of kin, have been prepared. What is known as a funeral expedi tion will eoon start for Santiago, and the ship will be equipped with caskets and other necessary articles to be used in disinterring and bringing the remains to this country. Upon arriving here they will be turned over to the relatives of those who lost their, lives for their country, and the dead heroes who have no relatives will be interred at Arling ton, the national cemetery, a few miles from Washington. The ship will probably leave for Cuba about December 15th, but it may be de layed until January 1st. General Wood has opposed the removing cf these re mains until cold weather for fear that yellow fever may be brought to this country. His advice in this respect has been heeded, and, as stated, the dead soldiers will not be interred in their na tive soil until eome time in the new year. PRISONERS TO BE RELEASED Constitutional Rights Remain Suspend ed Cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines Practically Accomplished at Today's Cession of the Comuissions. Pahis, Nov. 30. The United States peace commission today held a cession for the purpose of discussing the treaty articles made yesterday by Secretaries Moore and Ojeda. The final prepara tion of these articles was concluded and the revised draft turned over to the typewriters. The joint session of the commission then met and began the discussion of the formulated protocol agreement and subjects for negotiation, all of which were presented to the joint commission in a form acceptable to the . Americans. The joint commission devoted two hours and a half to the drafting of the three first articles of the peace treaty protocol, dealing -with the cession of Cuba, Porto Bico and the Philippines, upon which the commission agreed in principal. A general discussion on the other articles followed, but no decision was reached, and the joint commission adjourned until tomorrow. Madrid, Nov. 30. The cabinet at a" meeting today considered the action of the Carlists ard further deliberated upon the repatriation of the Spaniards in the Philippines. It was decided that constitutional rights will for the time remain suspended. The cabinet's instructions to Rioe, drawn up yesterday evening, were to request the immediate release of the the Spanish prisoners in the Philip pines ; to negotiate for navigation and tariff advantages in the Philippine isl ands, in favor of Spain, and to obtain a ratification to eeveral treaties of com- tnerce with the former Spanish terri tory. The government also added in structions to refuse ratification of the Dro tocol of 1875. Regulars May Go to Manila. San Fbancisco, Nov. 30.
