We are making a general clean-up in our
Skirt Department this week. On looking
through our stock we find .too many low
priced Skirts. Better ones have had the
preference this season, which is, of course,
not lamented by us. It is our ambition to
sell goods, and the better the qualities the
more agreeable to us. But to the point:
Lack of sales in these cheaper grades leaves
too many on our racks, and to give them
the benefit of a good-bye start as well as to
give our customers a ppecial opportunity,
we have marked about fifty black and fancy

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.

CUBANS STARVE
IN SANTA CLARA
Red Cross Appealed to to Furnish Them
Prompt Relief.
New York, Nov. 30. General Jose
Gomez has called cn Stephen E. 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.

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.

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

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
