King. dnm. and four daya ago waa towed Into the harbor at Taooma and moored to a IxUluHt bouy to have the hold cleared for the canto. Thla waa accomplished iaat evening, and It raa the Intention to have the vessel ahlfted to a dock tbl morning when loading would have been commenced. Aa I. usual when a vetael la lying light on open water ballant log had bemi made fait on both aide to prevent an accident In caae of blow. Lata la at night atrong wind com menced aweevlng over the bay and It (teadlly grew In flerceneea until during the early part of this morning It had attained a velocity of from TO to 75 mile an bour. It waa a living gale bordering on a hurricane. . Although the ship wa under bare pole. her high (Idea and lofty rigging caught the wind o much that the ch.ilna faaten. Ing tho ballaat log to the ihlp s slue aimppvd. Thua without any support the Veaxel could not withstand the terrlflo mualls, but careened over on h.T beam ends. Aa the uhlp wait to have cni- nu-noed taking carso this Piornlng the hutohea had been left open, thua allow ing the water to pour Into the hold In large volume. What took place on boart the ship from the tlmo shn on palled un til he w-ent to the bottom of course l not known, a not one of those on board remains to tell the tale, but the general opinion Is that all ttie nu n were drowned In their bunka. It Is estimated that the ship sank within 15 minutes after cap siting. As smin ns the accident had been dls. covered, tug steamed up nnd rushed out In srtirch of pos.-iiblo survivors. A lifeboat and much wreckage has come ashore and tugs are now searching Commence ment bay for rafts, boats and dend bodies. Tho ship to nil accounts, was headed In a southerly direction, or toward the head of the bay, at the time the gale swept down the Bound. The heavy wind, caused tho ship to strain on the chains, making the log on the weather aide taut and giving a tendency to lift the log from the water, but the strain waa too great for ono of tho chain and U snapped. Tills released the towering craft from greater restraint on the weather side; she lifted with the wind, and. there being little, restraint from the other end of the log, raised It enough to allow the right or mooring chain to slip off. Thus the ship, freed from ballast and floating like a chip, careened over under the pressure of the heavy galo, shipping great quantl. ties of water, filling completely the hold and forecastle, and causing her to cap rise and sink to the bottom, all In a very few minutes. The situation was fur ther aggravated by tho fact that the tide were just setting In at the time the ship Is supposed to have gone down. This In all probability forced thP stern of the vessel around and exposed the broadside to the (rale's fury. Late this afternoon the Ul-fated ves sel was located. She lies on the bottom of the sound on nor broadside, under 23 fathoms of water, close by the spot where she had been anchored. The vessel will In all probability be raised nnd the bodies of dead sailors re covered. No bodies have as yet been re covered, although every effort Is be'ng made In that direction. The sailors who went down with tho ship are as follows, with the exception of two narnest Captain Q. W. Stalling, Nova Sootla, First Mate E. II. Crowe, Nova Scotia. Second Mate E. Q.

J4.-A dispatch to th-) Tribune f n in liurans ayt: Tbe most li iprlr rt nominations recently an. noundd h' re are those of Mario Mnocal a i.lil f of police, 'erfoe.to La Cost, as alcalde, or mayor, and Frodorlco as civil governor. The latter Is not so well known as the two former, but hi I satisfactory to th. tnriM i vntlve Cubans and Spaniards,, H" was a wmlx-r of the revolutionary junta In Havana during tb. Insurrection. Manors I was con mender of the Insur gent troop In Havana and Matanza. province.. His co-operation with tb. American military authorities bas al. rt.i.ly been noted. His place In reality will be more than of chief of police In the city. Un will advise with General Itrooke and General Lea In the forma tion of the rural police and In other matter, of policy and administration. r-rfcto La Con to, who Is named ss alcalde, was the president of the Havana revolutionary turta and now holds a similar place with the junta patrlotlcla, lilch succeeds It. The Ter.l.-nte alcaldes have functions analogous to thos of assistant mayor and aldermen. One of them, Juan Bar-n-tre, l a professor In the university. Othe-i were deported by Weyler to th. penal settlement In Africa. Several of the aldermen were also political exiles an I "rne served In the insurgent army. Th reorganisation of the city coun cil was on. of the most serious problem. Iiere. The body was In disfavor. Sev eral of Its members were willing to stay and ar disappointed that their resigna tion wirra accepted. Under a rule made In Washington, It will have nothing to do with the granting of franchises; Its function will be limited to municipal administration and the military authori ties itre hopeful that their can .abors will be lightened. (encral MenotaJ and other, of the lunurgent troop first se. cured the consent of the assembly which represent, the Insurgent army, so that no friction can arise from that source. The appointments show the sincerity of the purpose to recognise the Cuban and to give preference to thOre who fought In the Insurrection or who were Identified with It. Tbe Spanish classes take them philosophically and say that most of the rr.tn named are worthy. The radical Insurgents who are disappointed have now to find fault with Menocal nrnl their leaders Instead ot with the I American. In the Cuban custom house the plan of recognising tbe Insurgents has gone so far that other Cubans complain that their applications are pigeon-holed without reading. Yesterday S officers of various grades In the Insurgent army were given place, under Collector Bliss. Most of them expected places corresponding to their rank. As the policy adopted by the custom house Is to begin at th. bottom of th. ladder and acquire experience be Cr; jiving appointment, a. Inspectors and appraisers, this could not be done. The Insurgent officers complained and two or three of them failed to rport for duty. The others, though grumbling, were at their posts. Isolated Instances of vandalism by American soldiers are causing complaints from keepers of cafe. They try to ob serve General Ludlow's order, against selling alcoholic beverages to soldiers and are victims of resentment. All cases of this fc'rd are vigorously punished, but the effect of a alngle case Is bad. While the American otlloials are getting along well with the Cuban they continue to have differences among thenuulw. Ttie latest trouble is over the sanitation of the custom house. Colonel Bliss I wants to go ahead and cleanse v It. but after work was started It was stopped because the method was not In accord ance with (General Ludlow's general plan. ARRAKGINO CONTRACTS FOR LATINO rillLirriNE CABLE. General Greely Expects His Ship to Leave San Francisco for Philippines In Abcut a Month. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-General Grev. ly, the chief signal officer, has gone to New Tork to look after the execution of contracts for the supply of ocean cable for the riilllpplnes. The arrangement are coming along rapidly and General Greely expects that within one month his specially chartered cable ship will have started from San Francisco for the riilllpplnes, carrying the cuble which Is to connect the princi pal Islands of the northern group with fid Ancricnn headquarters at Manila. One of the first links to be supplied will be a Una between Manila and Ilo Ho. The Islands first to be connected with Manila will be Mlndora, Masbate, Samar and Lelte. Later on the cable may be exten. ed to the Sulu archipelago. CARLISTS PLOTTING A SPANISH UPRISING. Secret Commission Operating In Mexico to Induce Spaniards to Place Don Carlos on the Throne. CHICAGO, Jan. H.-A special to 'the Tribune from Washington, says: "Re ports com from Mexico to the effect that a secret commission of Carlists have been operating for some time In Mexico, es. pedally among the Spanish residents. They have traveled extensively through the country, especially visiting the larger cities and towns, and inducing the Sjmn lards to aid In the cause of Don Carlos. "They are said to have come direct from Spain and are well supplied with monuy. It Is said that the Mexican headquarters have been established In the City of Mexico. Subscriptions have been secured to aid In placing Don Carlos on the throne of 8paln and assurance given that when the uprising comes, further aid and sympathy can be had The agent, of the pretender have oper ated largely among th. Jesuit., who are, to a considerable extent, Spaniards, or of direct Spanish extraction." NO LONGER HEMMED IN United States Entangled in the Policies of the Out side World. MUST HOLD PHILIPPINES Refusal to Do So May Throw tbe World Into a Terrl fcle War. SENATOR FORAKER'S SPEECH Relief to Know Thit Be Old Not Voice the Sentiment of the President The Week la London. (Copyrighted, ISM, by Associated Press.) LONDON. Jan. lt-When the Arocrl. can correspondent succeeded In Impress ing upon British mind, that Senator For. aker. In his recent speech In the United Slates senate, spoke only for himself when he suggested that the United State. might eventually withdraw from the Phli'.ppin. Islands, a dlstlrct sign of re. Ilef might have been read between th. lines of the newspapers. Everyone here assumed that, because the senator was from the president's state, h. spoke for the president, and tb. declaration made not only succeeded In giving British pub lic officialdom an unpleasant shock, but It felt like a dash of cold water on the ardor of the British for an Anglo-American understanding. They began to ques tion what was the profit of this friend. nip If America did not propose to bac k up Great Britain's policy In tbe far east by retaining the most Important base of operations In th. event of war over Chi. na. The Incident Illustrated bow deeply tbe late war bas left tbe United States entangled In the world', policies, for on of ttie foremost ' arguments advanced against Senator Foraker'i suggestion was that the United States owed It to the world not to disturb the balance of power, and not to furnish a possible sub ject for war by throwing the Philippine Islands Into th. field to be scrambled for by colonising nations. THE WEEK LV LONDON. Copyrighted. 1S38, by Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. L The opening of the new year has been marked by most un seasonable weather, accompanied by furious gales throughout the United) Kingdom. The recent mild weather proved very unhealthy. The mortality from respiratory affections exceeded that of any week since May. Seventeen deaths were directly attributed to Influ enza In London, in which city the death rate is the highest for several months. Hurricanes have seriously Interrupted communication with the contiuent. Do ver harbor has been practically unusable In consequence of the so-called Improve, mer.t works, and the continental malls have thus been badly delayed. The au. thoritlis of Folkscone tried pouring oil on the water at the entrance to tha harbor. The experiment was very sue. cessful and th mall boats were ab'.e to approach with the greatest ease. The leading ball of the winter season was given at the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire's seat. Chatrworth - house, Derbyshire, on Thursday evening. Eveiy thlng was on a gorgeous scale. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough entertained Mr. and Mrs. George V. Vanderbilt at Blenheim early In the week. There was an Interesting ceremony at Osborne house. Isle of Wight, this week. Queen Victoria presented medals for distin guished service in the field to a group of Omdurman warriors, most of them non-commissioned officers. Her majesty was wheeled Into the green room, where the soldiers were!rawn up and saluted her. Then each Teclplent knelt and the queen pinned a medal on his breast. She also questioned the wounded concerning their experiences. Colonel Mathlas, the hero of Dargal, where, after a stirring appeal to his men, he led his Gordon Highlanders to storm the heights, has been given a banquet by the Caledonian Club, at which the Prince of Wales was present, and In a neat speech warmly endorsed the warm admiration expressed by Colonel Mathlas for the Indian troops, saying he regretted never having had the privilege of serving with the Indian soldiers In active service, but had often seen them in large bodies and was con fident that the queen had no finer sol. dtara. Truth this week compares the diplo matic career ot Sir Julian Pauncefot British ambassador at Washington, with thit of Sir PhlllD W. Currle, British am bassador. to Italr.

It Is announced that the British au thorities bav. just concluded a er. of trial, of th. use of American petroleum as fuel for warships, and tb. experiment has been a failure. Russian petroleum will now be tried. Mr. William T. Stead's new paper, In tended to b. the mouthpiece of hi dis armament erusade, entitled "War Against War," made its appearance to day. It Is not a very striking produc tion. Its chief features being communi cations from sympathisers, Including some American public men. Mark Twain has written an article for th. paper opening with characteristic humor. Ho say: "Th. cxar is In favor of dl arma ment and so am I. There ought to b. no difficulty ttbout the rest of th. world." Probebly there has never been such an Interest circling around African travels, ers and geographer, since the time of Henry M. Stanley' expedition as bus been caused by th. arrival this week of a young and hhturto unknown English man, Jlr. Albert Bushmill Lloyd from central Africa, after record journey of three months from the heart of Africa to London, traveling over Stanley's route down th. Congo to th. west ooaxt. His journey was In on. respect mora re markable than Stanley's. Inasmuch us Mr. Lloyd traveled quite alone so far aa European, were concerned, and was ac companied by only two native servant, and a small n amber of carriers. : More over, although he marched three week. In the pigmy forests and then traversed the whole length of the Aruwlml river, the banks of which are lined with war like; cannibals, be never one fired a shot In self defense. On the contrary, be was on cordial terms with both pig. mle. and cannibals. Mr. Lloyd 1 al ready coming to be a celebrity, and ha. received a number of lecture offers. Possibly later on In tha year, after th. publication of book based on hi. ex. periences. be will' lecture in th. United States. His journey west along the si. most untrodden path from Uganda wa. most hazardous. His own friends tried to dissuade him, but he persisted, and on his arrival atCongo, the Belgian, could scarcely believe that he had safely run the guantlet of plgmlea and cannibals. On entering the great primeval forest, Mr. Lloyd went west for Ave days with out the sight of a pigmy. Suddenly he became aware of their presence by mys terious movements among the trees, which ar first he attributed to the mon keys. Finally he came to a clearing and stopped at an Arab village, where h. met a great number of pigmies. "They told me, said Mr. Lloyd, that they had, been watching me for five days, peering through th? growth of the forest. They appeared very much frightened and even when speaking covered their faces. I asked a chief to allow m to photograph, tho d war fa and be brought a dozen to. gether. I was able to secure a snap shot, but did not succeed In the time exposure, as the pigmies would not stand still. Then I tried to measure thent aril found them not over four feet In height. All were fully developed, th. women somewhat slighter than the men. I was amazed at their sturdlness. Th. men have long beards, reaching half way down their chests. They are very timid and will not lock a stranger In the face Their beadlike eyes are constantly shift ing. They are. It struck me, fairly In telligent. I had a long talk with a chief, who conversed Intelligently about their culoni5 In the forest and the number of tribesmen. Both men and women, ex cept for a tiny strip of bark, were quite nude. They were armed with poisoned arrows. They just huddled together In hastily thrown up huts. Memories ot a white traveler Mr. Stanley of course who crossed the forests years ago, still linger among them." Mr, Lloyd then: proceeded through the cannibal countries to the coast, lie found the cannibals warlike and fierce, but open and straight, forward, and had no difficulty with them. At one place he put together a bicycle h. had with him and rode about their vil lage. A remarkable scene followed, thousands of cannibals, men, women and children, turning out, dancing about and yelling at what they described a. a "European riding a snake." WILL RULE GUAM. WASHINGTON.
