THE SERPENT DISASTER.
SURVIVORS OF THE WRECK TELL
THEIR STORY.
Bad Weather and Crazy Compasses the
Cause of the Accident-Two tf the
Three Survivors Very Ill.

CoRUNNA, Nov. 16.-The British gum
boat Lapwing brought the Serpent's
survivors to Corunna today. An Asso-
ciated Press correspondent boarded the
Lapwing, and had an interview with
one of the survivors, named Burton. He
said when the Serpent struck the
weather was dirty" but not foggy.
All hands were below except the officers
and six watchmen. Immediately after
the shock all rushed to the deck. A
large boat was lowered, but it was
smashed to pieces, and the occupants
perished. 1t then became evident that
it would be useless to lower the other
boats. An attempt to throw q cable
ashore also failed. Meanwhile men
were being constantly washed over
board. About an hour after the Serpent
struck, the captain gave the men leave
to save themselves as they thought best.
Burton jumped overheard, having life
belt about his waist, as had all the men
on watch. After swimming two or three
hours he landed in an exhausted condi-
tion. He then met Luzon, another sur
vivor, and together they walked to a
coast village two miles from the scene of
the wreck, whence some of the villagers
conveyed them to Camarines. Luzon,
who is still very ill, confirmed Rurton's
story. He was washed overheard half
an hour after the ship struck. He had
no life belt. but after being in the water
an hour and half, managed to reach
shore.
Both Burton and Luzon believed the
Serpent devated from her course, owing
J to the weather. They state the moment
Cape. Villarde light was sighted, the
Serpent struck.
When the Lapwing left the vicinity
of the disaster, the bodies of forty-eight
of the victims had been buried,
the majority of whom were
not drowned but killed by
being dashed against the rocks.
Gould, the third survivor, is very i'll.
Another report says:
The evidence of the survivors of the
wrecked cruiser Serpent, goes to show
that the light OF Village lighthouse was
not seen by the lookout of the Serpent,
although the light is usually visible
fourteen miles. 1t is believed the Ser
pent's compass was affected by an iron
reef, and observations were impossible
owing to the bad weather. A body was
washed ashore today, which is supposed
to be that of the commander of the Ser
pent.

THE INDIAN SCARE.
NORTH DAKOTA SETTLERS VERY
MUCH ALARMED.
Sioux Reported to Be Aiming for War of
Extermination-The War Department
Says There is No Danger.

MNNEAPoIs, Mimi, Noy. 16. The
Tribune's Mandan, N. D., special says
Settlers living on the border of the Sioux
reservation bring stories of the arming
of the Indians, which is borne out by
Joseph Buckley, who speaks their Ian
guage. Buckley came in today and says
every Indian on the reservation will
shortly 60 on the war path, and that
they have got possession of Clusters
rifles which the United States army
never found. Local hardware men have
in the last few days sold their
entire stock of ammunition to
the Indians. The Indians say
if they are unsuccessful in
their raid, they will get double rations,
and they have nothing to lose. The
citizens here and settlers who are un-
protected, believe General Ruger and
the Indian authorities are harboring a
feeling of false security. The mayor of
Mandan has called meeting, and the
war department will be asked to furnish
the citizens with guns, if not with
soldiers. Many settlers between Man
dan and the reservation are abandoning
their farms and ranches, because of the
lack Of protection afforded them by the
government.
The most sanguine feel. gloomy at the
outlook. The Indians are becoming
more and more crazed over the Messiah
story. Serious trouble is anticipated at
the agency oN er the coming ghost dance.
The agent has endeavored to induce
them to forego it, but they are defiant
and refuse to obey his orders.
A woman was brought before the
agency at Standing Rock a few days ago,
whom the Indians said was the mother
of the Messiah. The agent interrogated
her, but got no satisfaction as to the
identity of the alleged Messiah, she
contenting herself with repeating the
stories of the millennium to come. and
how the white people would be wiped
out entirely. Several of the leading
Sioux chiefs seem to be as firm believers
in the story as the young bucks.
KANSAS Cry, Nov. 16.-A special from
an army officer at Fort Niobrara, Neb.,
to the Times, states that excitement
among the Sioux Indians in that place
over the Messiah, has subsidized to a
great extent. A special from Fort
Leavenworth says no orders have been
received there to prepare for the move
ment OF troops, as reported.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-Secretary of War
Proctor, who is here on tour of inspec-
ton, was joined today by General Miles.
In an interview this evening, the scare
tary said no arrangements had been
made to send troops to the Indian reser-
vations in the northwest. The excite
ment among them, he said he had reason
to believe, was subsiding.

EXTENSIVE FORGERIEs.l
A Junior Partner Involves His Firm for
S35O,OOO.

S35O,OOO.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-Albert H.
Smith, junior partner OF the brokerage
firm of Mills, Robson & Smith, is q
prisoner, charged with over seventy for
geries, aggregating $3.50, 900. Smith has
acknowledged his guilt, and turned over
all his property for the benefit of his
creditors. The discovery of his forger-
les. which cover period of six years,
was accidentally made Saturday morn
ing by clerk in the the employ of the
firm. In his confession Smith says he
used the money to reimburse Gus
toners who had lost money ON his
suggestions. The loss resulting from
Smiths misdoings will fall on his firm,
which has been in existence since 1872,
and which has been held in the highest
repute. Smiths plan was simple. He
would buy eight or nine shares of first
class stock, and by adding cipher or
the letter "y'', raise the order toseighty
or ninety shares. These he deposited
with the firm as private account, and
thus made his partners responsible.
The discovery was accidentally made by
a stock clerk, and Smith then confessed
everything to his partners. Smith is a
prominent churchman and member of
several clubs. He is As years old and a
childless widower. All the forgeries are
not total loss to the firm, as about one
fourth can be recovered. The firm has
made an assignment to A. Watson, to
whom Smith yesterday made personal
assignment.

MEETING OF DTAGNATEs.
Important Conferences Of Wall Street
= Money Kings Yesterday.

Money Kings Yesterday.
NFw YORK, Nov. 16.-Jay Gould was
at the Windsor hotel for an hour TO-
night; so were Mr. Cammack, George
M. Pullman and w. l.. Connor. This is
principally remarkable from the fact
that nothing short of financial crisis
could have brought these men
there at such time. They
were surrounded by crowd
which included such men as John Blood
good, Harvey Durant, w. f. Young,
Isadore Wormser and dozen others,
we'll known ON the stock exchange The
situation in Wall street was freely dis
cussed, and all agreed that it was grave
beyond recent precedent. The prevail
ing feeling, however, was hopeful, if not
confident. All agreed that more
liquidation was coming. The
question was, how much more i?
Gould did not talk at all, neither did
Pullman. They listened attentively,
however, and went home early.
Pretty soon it became noised around
that there had been a meeting of presi-
dents, and that the Clearinghouse asso-
citation would issue $10,000,000 in GER
tifcates OF credit, pro rata, among
the banks. This was partially con-
tirmed by President Curran of the Chase
National bank, who said there had been
an informal meeting of several
bank presidents during the after
noon, at which it was decided
that the machinery of the clearing
house was ample for any emerg-
ency that might grow out of the present
crisis. Clearing house certificates would
be issued to any bank needing such
assistance.
