Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 19.—Bishop
Joseph C. Hartzell, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, whose bishopric is

meeting in this city of the Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity, stated tonight that he
had been commissioned by the negro
republic of Liberia to go to Washing
ton and ask that the republic be taken
under the sheltering wing of the United
States. Threatened inroads upon its
territory by the Germans, French and
English prompted the government to
seek the shadow of the Stars and Stripes.
“1 am on my wav to see Secretary
Hay,” lie said, “as the special repre
sentative of the republic of Liberia, to
secure a protectorate, either quasi or
actual. What they want America to
do is to say to the European powers in
Africa: ‘We have an interest in Li
beria; this country belongs to us.’
"Whether the actual protectorate
can be established or not will depend
upon how far the Liberian government
is willing to go, assuming that the
United States answers favorably.”

Denver, Oct. 19.—A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Florence,
Colo , says: On Saturday William Lel-
lin and his 10-year-old boy came to
Florence, from their homo, six miles
from Florence, to do some trading.
After spending the day about town, nt
6 P. M. tliey started home in their
wagon. It was raining when thev left
town, but when out about five miles
the rain turned to a blinding enow
storm. The father lost his way, and
wandered about among scrub pines and
in the hi Us all night. The wagon and
team was abandoned, and an effort was
made to reach home on foot.
As the night wore on the little fel
low became cold and numband froze tc
death in his father's arms. The fatlrei
managed to keep alive by walking, un
til he could walk no more from numb
ness of limb. Daylight broke, and Lei-
lin knew he was not far from home,
but was unable to walk. At 9 o’clock
his cries were heard by his wife, whe
went to his rescue. Neighbors were
summoned and the old gentleman was
assisted to his home, but he was so neat
dead that he could not give an intelli
gent account of the night’s wander
ings, but the dead body of tlie boy told
a pitiful story of a lack of sufficient
clothing to keep him warm. He wore
knee pants and a small coat, but no un
derwear nor outer coat. His shoes and
stockings were almost completely worn
out.

London, Oct. 19.—A dispatch to the
London News Agency from Paris says:
“Today the confeience reached a
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands of the American
. commission in threatening words. He
* said that delay was the only possible
I abject obtainable by the persistent
i efforts of the Spanish commissioners to
1 -¡addle the United States with the Co-
} ban debt, and would be tolerated no
longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any part
of the debt.
“The Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in a position of repudiat
ing or of reducing the face of the Cuban
bonds from 50 to 60 per cent, paying
only half tho stipulated interest on
reduced value.
Before they would
adopt either atlernakive they would sur
render to the United States the entire
Philippines.
"Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would proba
bly be demanded, irrespective of the
Cuban or any other debt.
“This, to the Spaniards, the first in
timation of the intentions of the Unit
ed States as to the Philippines, resulted
in a whispered conference, followed by
a request .or an adjournment in order
to communicate with Madrid. Judge
Day said that President McKinley had
instructed him to demand the entire
surrender of Porto Rico, and the deliv
ery of every town to the United States
officers before midnight, together with
the evacuation of Havana on or before
November 1, when the United States
would be at the gates of the city ready
to take possession.
"There was no alternative offered in
the case of either of these demands;
the session consequently was very
brief.”

PROTOCOL
American. Positively Decline to As
suma lte.pon.ibllity for the Cuban
Debt—Two Week'» Labor».
Paris. Oct. 18.—The American and
Spanish peace commissions closed their
first two weeks of labor here today,
and the progress made has been chiefly
by negative action, owing to the atti
tude of the Americans.
The first article of the protocol pro
vided that "Spain will relinquish ail
claim to sovereignty over and title to
Cuba.” Tlie Americans opened their
case by the assumption that littlo or no
action was necessary regarding Cuba on
the ground that its disposition was
definitely fixed by the terms of the pro
tocol. Notwithstanding at the meeting
last Thursday, the Spaniards submit
ted
suggestions
and
propositions
amounting to holding that the United
States should take over all or part ol
the Cuban debt. Tuesday, Senor Mon
tero Rios, president of the Spanish com
mission, verbally repeated it at length,
and reiterated the same in summarized
form.
The Americans at their own session,
Wednesday, took up the Spanish pres
entation and determined the formula
tion of the answer of the United States.
Careful, exact, and full was the prepara
tion of the answer, and, therefore, it
became impossible, as intended, tc
serve a copy of it on tlie Spanish before
I the hour of opening the session, so that
! the oral discussion might begin
promptly.
Whatever may have transpired at yes
terday’s session, whether the Spaniards
were or were not advised that tlie
United States declined to assume the
Cuban debt, it may be distinctly said
that with such light as it now has. the
, United States commission will consist
ently and to the end refuse to assume
all or any part of the Cuban debt. The
Spaniards will, if indeed it has not al
ready been done, have impressed upon
them the fact that by the signature of
the protocol, they utterly relinquished
all claim of sovereignty over and title
to Cuba.
Thus possibly progress has been
achieved negatively, for, with the pres
ent light, the Americans decline, ot
will refuse the responsibility of a single
peseta of the so-called debt.

London, Oct. 18.—The Atlantic
Transport Company issued the follow
ing statement this evening regarding
the fate of the passengers and crew of
the steamer Mohegan, which was
wrecked last Friday evening off tho
Lizard, between the Manacles and Low
lands:
"Of the passengers, 11 have been
saved, 10 bodies have been recovered,
and 81 are missing. Of the crew and
cat .)'men, 89 have been saved, 14 bod
ies lave been recovered, and 51 are
missing.”
Since this statement wae issued, nino
other bodies have been picked up, in
cluding two that have been identified
as those of passengers. The reports of
the various correpondents differ widely
as to the rescues, recoveries and losses,
though none agree as to the exact num
ber of those saved or of the bodies re
covered.
The bodies of the following passengers
have been recovered: T. W. King.
Edna King, Master King, Mrs. Weller,
James Blackey, Miss H. M. Cowen, M.
Fallows, B. Franklin Fuller, Mrs. L.
M. Luke, Geoige Seymour, Miss L. H.
Warrener.
The latest advices from Falmouth
this evening say that 88 bodies have
been identified, mostly tlie bodies of
sailors. Four are as yet unidentified,
including those of two elderly ladies.
One appears to be German. She wore
a watch and wedding ring, both en
graved “1871.” The other wore a sil
ver brooch with the letters “D” in
pearls. This is probably the body of
Mrs. Charles Duncan. Nine of the bod
ies have been brought to Falmouth;
the others were taken to the village
church at St. Keverine.
The rescued passengers are being
sheltered in cottages along the shore,
and the crew at the sailors’ home at
Falmouth.
Tugs have been cruising in the vicin
ity all day. despite the very rough
weather, in the hope of picking up
other bodies.
The cause of the disaster remains the
profoundest mystery.
Nobody at
tempts to explain how the Mohegan got
so far north of her true course—from
six to seven miles. There was no fog
at the time, while the wind on her port
quarter wae not sufficient to prevent
her answering the helm. It has been
suggested that her compass was faulty;
but daylight lasted long after Eddy
stone light was passed. Tlie sailors
say the fact that the Lizard light was
visible should have served to give the
alarm.
GOMEZ

OBSTINATE.
The Caban General Refuses to Disband
His Army.
New York, Oct. 18.—A dispatch^
from Havana says: It is generally be
lieved a serious breach has taken place
between the executive department of
the Cuban republic and the leaders or
the military forces. Word was received
here that General Wood has received a
communication from President Masso,
advising that nothing be done by tlie
Americans that can be construed as re
cognizing the Cuban government. Mas
so has been joined by his colleagues in
declaring that the time has arrived for
disbanding the Cuban forces.
This
course will be vigorously combatted by
General Gomez.
General Juan Ducasse, one of the
closest advisers of Gomez, has arrived
in Havana to consult the opponents of
Masso and all those who favor a Cuban
republic and oppose further American
intervention. General Ducasse declares
that Gomez will lead the insurgents
back into the field before he will sub
