AWFUL ACCIDENT
TO THE DAVIS
Seven Men Lose Their Lives
by Escaping Steam.
Portland, Oct. 21. The accident
to the torpedo-boat Davis on her of
ficial trip down the Columbia river
yesterday.proved eveD more disastrous
and aDoalling in its results than the
first brief dispatches received yester
dry afternoon intimated. The "seven
scalded" reported yesterday has given
way to the more grewsome record,
"seven dead."
Followiug are the names of those
who lost their lives in the explosion,
death in each instance being due to
the terrible scalds which no medical
skill could heal:
DCharles Maneely.fireman, married.
Paul Luithle, fireman, unmarried.
Harry Wood, forman boiler shop,
married.
James Ryan, married.
Axel Johnson, married.
Albert Buehl, unmarried.
The accident which sent these seven
men into eternity occurred about 11:40
A. M., as the boat was oil renas iianee,
near Cathlamet. on her way to As
toria. The explosion was due to the
bursting of one of the steam tubes in
the forward boiler. The seven men
were penned up in the small flreroora,
and there was' no possible chance for
them to escape. The explosion came
without warning, and in an instant the
men were blown down by a blast of
steam, smoke and hre.
Willing hands were soon to the
rescue, and Dr. E. H. Thornton, the
company's physician, who was on
board, did everything in his power to
alleviate the suffering of the hapless
victims. ' .
The boat was put at anchor imme
diately after the accident occurred.
Messengers were sent out for relief,
but owing to the distance to the near
est telegraph station and the time re
quired for assistance to arrive from
Astoria, 20 miles away, it was a long
and tedious wait not only for the suf
fering victims, but also for the .doctor
and the willing though helpless sym
pathizers on board - the boat. Dr.
Thornton's supply of morphine hav-
ng given put a boat was dispatched to
Skamokawa to procure an additional
supplyVbut after a long delay returned
without having accomplished its mis
sion. .: .
WILL. LEAVE CUBA IN JANUARY
That lathe Date Fixed For the Spaniards
"to Leave.
New York, Oct. 21. A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says: An
agreement between the two commis
sions as .to the' date, of evacuation
again seems probable. The American
ultimatum fixes upon Janifary -1, and
xh is date will be finally accepted by
the Spaniards
Washington, Oct. 21. It is now
certaiu the complete evacuation . of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the period
origahally fixed by the administration. '
This will follow entirely without re
ference to anything that has .occurred
n Paris before the' peace commission-
The war department has about satis
fied itsels that the task imposed upon
the Spanish authorities,- namely,, tbe
removal and transportation to a great
distance' by the sea oi about 120,000
soldiers with accoutrements was. be-.

Sa"n,;"Erancisco....- Qct. 23. The
United States transport Rid de Janeiro
brought the following to the Associat
ed Press, dated. Manila, septemoer -zz: .
The Philippine congress 'has been'
in se8sipn'.since ThhrsSay,; September
10.' The first thing that was" decided'
was-'that the, . Philippine republic
sbbu.ld jiot countenance' ay policy
that should be" agreed - upon whereby
SDaib would have anything further to
do. with the islands. and would' resist :
by force of arms any suehr measure. - A
vote was taken on the policy' of annex
ation to ' the 'American republic, and
annexation was decided upon by a'
large majority.,
Aguinaldo expresses himself as per
sonally not in favor . of annexation to
America, aading that he does not'
think that the natives generally will
support euch a policy. . He thinks that
the American .mission here -in these
islands-hag been accomplished, and ex
pects that the Americans will soon
withdraw- their forces, leaving the
insurgents to govern and . control the
islands.-

On being pressed by questions, Aguin
aldo confessed himself densly ignorant
of governmental principles. While
professing a desire for American pro
tectorate, he said the natives desired
complete independence. He suggested
that as the Americans had come to
Manila to fight the Spaniards they
now' should return home satisfied,
leaving the natives in possession. The
correspondent closes by branding
Agunildo as a first-class ignoramus.

could not get away in so hort a time
without immense sacrifices-ind asked

parleying he was granted three days,
with the threat that If he was not out
in that time they would dispose of him
his wife and his children, cleaning the
family out root and branch.

DOGS OF WAR
MAY GET LOOSE
! Strained Relations Between
England and France Ap
plling. London, Oct. 23. Never since Great
Britain and France began to dispute
over Egypt, nor during the most acute
stage of the Niger differences between
those two countries has the situation
looked so ominous as today. In spite
of the hope expressed In the journals
of both countries that the matter
would be amicably arranged, it is a
fact that the French naval and mili
tary authorities are making feverish
preparations for war and though calm
reigns at the British dock yards at
Portsmouth, Chatham and Dayenport.
it Is only the calm of preparedness and
significant orders haye been arriving
there from the admirality. indicating
that Gr-iat Britain and France are on
tbe briii It of war.
The French statesmen, however, still
cling to the hope that the Marquis of
Salisbury will offer some exchange
which will enable them to retire from
Fasboda without apparent exercise of
dignitv. This hope Is based on a con
versation between Lord Salisbury and
Baron De Courcel, the French ambas
sador at London, which figures In a
most Important dispatch In the yellow
book which the French government
will issue tomorrow. Frenchmen in
fer from the attitude of the British pre
mier that he is willing to discuss the
French claims and they even talk of
negotiations being in progress. The
English newspapers, however, vigor
ously combat this impression and
warn France not to be lead away by
such allusions. They declare the evac
uation of Fashoda must precede any
thing else.
