She TUGS SENT TO THE RESCUE Passengers Taken off Without Accident —A Dense Fog Prevailed at the Time of the Strandidg of the Vessel. Halifax, N. S., March 14.—The new Allan line steamer Castilian, from Portland, for Halifax, went ashore at Gannet rock light, near Yarmouth, this morning at low tide, in a dense fog, her compasses being deranged. Two compartments are full of water, and tugs have gjne from Yarmouth to the scene. The Castilian arrived at Hali fax from Liverpool 10 days ago on her maiden voyage, and went to Portland to load cargo foi return. She is 8,200 net remistered tonnage, being the largest Allan line steamer afloat. The ship is in charge of Captain Bar rett and officers formerly of the steamer Parisian, the entire crew of the Parisian having been transferred to the new boat. The steamer was due to embark mails and passengers here for Liver pool. The steamer began leaking immedi ately after she struck, but the best dis cipline prevailed among the passengers. They returned totiieir berths, and were callled out again to don life preservers, which nuny were wearing when they reached 1 ar mouth on tugs at 8:15 this evening. The passengers and crew all saved th Hr baggage. The steamer went on it low tide, which will be in her favor. The plzce of the disaster is a few miles from where the Moravian, of the Allan line, was lost some years ago. STAYED IN THE TRENCHES. Rebels Con 1:1 Not Muster Courage Venture Into tlie Open. tu Manila, March 14.—The Filipinos apparently had planned an attack upon the lines of General Otis and General Hale this morning, but their courage seemed to flinch, though they fired sig nals and kept up the fusillade along the American front for an hour. Our troops, in obedience to orders, re frained from shooting, with the excep tion of two companies of newly arrived men, who replied until they bad sup pressed the regiment of Filipinos. This body of rebels seemed under bet ter leadership than most of the others. A white man was seen among the offi cers, endeavoring to lead them to the attack, but apparently all efforts to in duce them to leave the trenches were futile. The American authorities in Manila say the city is now so effectively po liced that a serious outbreak is impos sible. They believe that the natives are cowed. The presence of the families of offl- lers is discouraged, and many are leav- ng on board the United States trans ports. some going to Japan for temper in' residence. Geneial Otis has re marked: “Manila is no place for women. This is war, not a picnic.” The British cruiser Narcissus has ■ailed tor various ports in the island of Luzon, having on board British sub jects who desire protection. IN Steamer A FEARFUL STORM. Pavonla'i Boiler* Their Cradles. Rocked In Washington, March 18.—There is grave danger of an armed collision be tween the American and Canadian miners in the Porcupine creek region, over the Alaskan boundary question. Despite the fact that the location of the boundary has been determined be vond any reasonable doubt, the Cana dians have encroached six miles or more on the American side, where they claim the right to Btake claims and search for gold and deny the same rights to Americans. The Americans have threatened to expel the Canadians by force, and it is feared that a conflict may be brought on. The situation is so serious that upon information contained in a letter from Governor Brady, of Alaska, to the sec- retoary of the interior, the secretary of state lias called the attention of th» British government to the actions of the Canadians, and has asked to have them recalled to their own territory. MAN AND WOMAN HANGED. Latter Was Game to the Last; Former * Prostrated. St. Scholastique, Quebec, March 13. — Mrs. Cornelia Poirier and Samuel Parslow were hanged here thia morn ing. Life was declared extinct in eight minutes. The necks of both were broken. Mrs. Poirier, who said farewell to her relatives last night, was firm and collected throughout. She took part in the mass said at 5 o’clock this morn ing and on tlie scaffold shook hands with the hangman without a tremor. The crowd inside the jail jeered at her, but even then her composure did not desert her, and at the suggestion of th» executioners he turned and faced the jeerers and stood erect and piayed to the last. Parslow was more dead than alive when the drop fell. The condemned were taken to the scaffold se parately. and were prevented from seeing each other by a screen placed between them. Six hundred men witnessed the exe cution. Outside the jail were 2,000 more, who with a beam tried to batter down the gate of the jailyard and could only be made to desist by the provin cial police firing their revolvers in th» air. Mrs. Poirier and Samuel Parslow. her reputed lover, were hanged for tho murder of Isadore Poirier, the woman's busband, in 1897. To Govern Cuba. Washington, March 13.—The ad ministration is contemplating a change in some features of the government of Cuba. It is probable that the military government will, to a certain extent, be replaced by a civil government. The head of the government must, of course, remain military, but the plan in contemplation is to have civil offi cers in place of military men in th» cabinet and subordinate positions. It is believed that experts in differ ent lines, such as finance and revenu» and the management of the general business of the island and of the differ ent municipalities will get along mor» smoothly than the army officers. Completing the Rolls. Havana, March 13.—The only ob stacle now in the way of paying off th» Cuban troops is the completion of th» rolls, a work which is being hastened bv Inspector-General Roloff. He say» that in some cases the rosters of th» commands must be created, as the old rosters are either missing, or too de- fective to be useful. He points ou t that the insurgents often have no paper, pens or ink. General Gomez explains that 6,000 commissioned and and 10.000 non commissioned officers are relatively large numbers in an army of 32,000 privates, but that these officers, in many cases, received their appoint ments because the Cubans have bad no other way of recognizing bravery and stimulating enthusiasm. Liverpool, March 14.—The officers of the Cunard line steamer Pavonia. Captain Atkins, from Liverpool, Jan uary 24, for Boston, which was towed into St. Michaels on February 1, dis abled, and which arrived here yester day morning in tow of two tugs, from Punta del Gado, Azores, maintain the utmost reticence regarding the steam er's experiences.

It is under stood that the Second volunteer engi neers will be recalled, leaving the ar tillery as the sole garrison for the Ha waiian islands. It is probable that the Twenty-fourth Uniter!
