0. W. Freeman, superintendent of the
Thirteenth lighthouse district, who was a
passenger on tho stage down the beach
from l'niH)ua this afternoon, says:
'About 5 o'clock this morning the keeper
of tho rmpqu.i lighthouse heard a dis.
tress whistle, but on account of tho dark
ness was unable to distinguish anything.
At daylight the Truckee was in sight
headed south, her engines evidently dls-
iiNcd. It was blowing hard from the
southwest, and the Umpqua bar was
breaking clear across and was nothing
but a white strip. At 7 o'clock the cap
tain hoisted his flag, union down, and
headed for tho bar. The steamer passed
through tho outer lino of the br.Mkera
successfully, md tho captain, trying to
hoM her in the channel, hoisted h!s fore,
sail, but the wind was too strong and
It was carried away. A square sail was
also hoisted and was immediately carried
overboard, throwing tho vessel on the ex
treme end of north spit. All this time they
were discharging cargo. Toe Vmpo.ua
life saving crew were promptly on hand
and made three unsuccessful attempts to
reach tho steam r."
The Truckee wus bound south from
Tillamook for San Francisco and carried
a enrgo of lumber.
Tho stae driver says tlvat ho has never
experienced such a storm on tho beach
as that which ho hns passed through to.

f'ici that Stiarkey's manager Is one of

thos? who did risk their coin. Shirkey
was a 10 to 7 favorite. The hope, how
ever, waj that Sharkey would endeavor
to regtiln his prestige when h? laid down
in front of Fltxslmmons and that there
would be a wild slugging match tonight
Induced a number of people to wltns
the contest.
Tom Sharkey lias won another lues
tlor.xblo batt'.e. his vldtm this time be.
ing old Joe God.kml, the decrepit "Bar
rier Champion." The fight, whl -h was
scheduled for S) rounds, terminated In
the sixth, when Sharkey, after landing
a stiff right on Goldard's Jaw, rushed at
his man and knocked him to the floor,
rally by force of Impact, failing beav.
i:y uKn him. Goildard' head struck the
canvns with an awful smash which
dtixed hlin. He arose at the end of three
seconds and staggered to the ropes.
Rcfcne McArthur meanwhile held the
excited sailor liack. Amid great confus.
Ion XlcArlhur awanb-d the fight to Shar
key. The decision was Just, but Shar
key's victory Is far from cretitable, it be
ing the popular lmprcsion that G'l
dard as hurt more by his collision with
the floor than from Sharkey's blows,
which were at all times wl'.d and miser
ably directed.
THE WALLACE CASE.
The Mysterious Butler Takes His Turn
In the Sweat-Box.
Chicago, Nov. 15 Joseph Keller, butler.
valet and confidential nun in the Wal.
lace-Ketcham household, and who tias
recently become a notable figure in the
Ketcham mystery, was put into the
"sweatbox'' for two hours late last night
by Police Captain Homer. About mid.
night Keller was released on demand
of Attorney Hanson, who agreed to pre.
duce the but'.er If the police should re
quire him. Captain Homer does not
believe Keller has told all he knows ot
the Ketcham ciise. His story of the trip
to Milwaukee and the subsequent mar
riage of Ketcham to Mrs. Wallace, the
captain still considers incomilete. In
tha swvntbox Keller was questioned anu
cross-examined. During this interview
Keller made the following written state
ment:
"My name Is Joseph Keller, I have
been employed by Sirs. Wallace for over
a year: I have known John B. Ketcham
for nearly a year. On September ti l
accompanied Mrs. Wallace and Mr.
Ketcham to Milwaukee. We stopped at
tho Manhattan hotel. We arrived In
Mitwrtui.vo about S 'o'eiock of. night.
About 6 o'clock -Mrs. Wallace and Mr.
Ketcham went for a, drive. They re.
turned about 9 oViotk and Ketcnam
laughed when he met mo In tha hotel
offlco and told me that he had Just got
married to Mrs. Wallace. We came home
together that afternoon. Over ten
Rt rangers' have stopped at tha house
and Ketcham and Mrs. Walhiee have
been living together for nearly a
year, but the mail wa always addressed
to Mrs. Wallace. About tha first of Oc
tober Ketcham came to me and told me
ha had made his will and asked me to
sign It. I did so In the presence of
himself and Mrs. Wallace. Mrs. Tony,
a friend of Mrs. Ketolmm, was the only
other person present."
When seen by a reporter after leaving
the sweat-box, Keller repeated the sub
stance of his statement. Ho denied he
had represented Ketcham In the mar
riage ceremony at Milwaukee and in
slsted that Ketcham was the bridegroom.
It Is said ex-State Attorney Jacob Keen
has been retained to defend Keller.

THERE IS NO HOPE
. FOR AUTONOMY
TEXT Of SrAIX'S rRO.MISED REfOR.IS
STILL LACKING.
Geicral Blaoco Haadicapped Spaiish 01
liters Throw Obstacles in
Mis Vav.
New York. Nov. 15.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: j
There Is no sign of the full text of
the promised reforms and In consequence .
the hopes of the most optimistic autono. J
mists are dwindling. The fault lies not ,
with General Blanco. There isi every
rcason to believe that his promises on ,
arrival were made In good faith. He j
is evidently deeply Incensed at the false
position in which he Is pkiced. He cabled j
a day or two ago to Madrid saying Gen- '
era! Weyler had deceived him as to the
condition of the army and the govern
ment had misled him regarding their
sincerity in promising autonomy, and ;
broadly hinted that he felt Inclined to j
ask to be relieved. !
In addition to Spain's de-lay Spanish i
officers hete throw obstacles In the way
of autonomy by procrastination In car- t
rying out Instructions to adot less harsh
methods of warfare and endeavor to ,
destroy the suspicions of the r-ibels.
The Herald correspondent has Just re-
turned from a two-days' trip through
Havana to Artemisia. Every military
commander of a town who was met said
he had not yet received any orders re
garding me extension oi me .o...,
cultivation.
The condition of the reconcentrado3 Is
unaltered. Their sufferings are appa.ling.
To put any one sugar estate into a con-
dttlon to grind would cost a considerable
sum, which neither planters nor the
Spanish government can at present af-
ford. These delays, It Is believed, hava
killed the chances of autonomy. j
The Herald's correspondent with the I
Cuban army writes: ..,
"Unless General Blinco speedily makes
more headway than he haa done yet,
autonomy will be a dead letter In the
Cuban Issue."
General Pedro Betancourt, chief ot the
Matanxas prov'nee and an Intimate
friend of General Gomes, writes from the
field under date of November It
"Notwithstanding this, you may rest
assured that all patriotlo men In Cuba
aro determined and In condition never to
surrender to the Spanish flag. Such Is
the resolution of the liberutlrg army i
known already to all nations throughout
the world, and you may therefore give
this expression the utmost publlclly."
