Merry After Announcing the Disaster

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The British torpedo
cruiser, Serpent, has foundered off tina
coast Oh Spain. The fate of the crew is nm
Known. Inc Serpent was a twin screw
VeSSel OF l,GO tons and carried six guns.
L1e serpent was lost twenty miles north
OF cape t1nisterre. Out of a total of 25O
sous on board only three were saved. The
S9rpeht went on the rocks during a storm
Hdohday night. Owing to the violence of
the storm 1T was impossible to send assist
ance from the shore. Tremendous seas
swept the decks of the doomed vessel. car

!'O o.fcers and men. The others were 90

station.
Later dispatches say the three swim
IVors are OF the opinion that none of the
others got ashore. Four bodies have come
up 20 on the beach, three of them women.

returning to the concert hall. He ex-

immense horse power which, according to
previous notions, was out of all proportion

speed OF II knots an hour.
Lord Brassey, in the NdUdl AnnuaI, ad-
versely criticised the vessel. He said the
economy OF weight had been carried to ex-

DONE In sea her heavy top weight would
be detrlment to her speed and would un-
duly strain the hull. The vessel was 225
feet long, while she had draught OF only
Az feet.
The relatives of the crew of the Serpent
at Plymouth and dock yard people, are
full OF gossip about the lost cruiser. It is
claimed she was unseaworthy and broke
down. The Serpent has bad record. She
broke down more than once in the maneu-
yers OF 1883. Several admiras con-
demned vessels of her class.
Lloyd's agent at Corunna telegraphs:
Ut appears the Serpent was running for
shelter IN one of the bays north Of F'inis-
terre. If she foundered nobody need be
surprised but the admiralty. If she
grounded on a reef, she could not stand
many minutes batteriug in heavy sea. u

EXTRAORDINARY THE
thousands of Dollars Worth of Cigars Stolen
and Detectives Can Get no Clue.

| lSpec1alto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Nov 12.-Thousands of dol
lars worth OF fine Havana cigars have
been stolen from cases on their way from
factories in Havana to England in the last
few moths, and the thieves have done theil
work so well that detectives and watchers
nave not found a single clue. Cigars made
IN Havana are packed in boxes of fifty OF
one hundred each at the factories. These
boxes are put into big pine cases, one hun
dred OF the larger boxes and 200 of the
smallerones to the case. They come here by
the BOATS OF the Transportation company and
are stored in the bonded warehouse until in.
structlons come to forward them to Eng
lanu. Inc cases are not opened here be-
cause not being intended for sale in this
country no duty is collected From the
| tlme the cases leave the factories until
they reach England they are supposed not
| to be tempered with.
Inc hrst OF series of thetts was dis
covered several months ago when a case
was opened and it was found that sew
eral were filled with chips of wood. From
the TACT that the case was in good condition
1t was concluded that the theft had been
committed by workmen in the factory. In
the meantime other consignees opened
other cases and they also found boxes of
chips instead of cigars These cases came
from different factories and not one
showed trace of having been tempered
with
detectives went to the factories and they
actually saw the cigars put into boxes.
Ihey saw the same boxes putinto the cases;
they travelled with them to the steamship
and saw them slowed away in the hold.
Then they went with them to New York.
saw the matches opened and the cases taken
from the hold and set down on the pier.
apparently every case was just as it was
when it left the factory The detectives
watched the cases as they went to the
bonded warehouse They reported every.
thing serene. From the warehouse they
went with them to the steamship on which
they were to be shipped for Europe. They
look passage On the same ship Finally
tney watched them in transfer from the
DOCK IN England to the consignees' place of
business and saw them opened. They were
sure that not case had been tampered
with and concluded that the thieves must
nave known of their presence as watchers.
They were disappointed when it was dis
covered That the cases had been opened and
boxes OF cigars stolen just as if there had
been no watch at all. The cases had been
Welgned once or twice in transit and at
every place the weight was exactly the
same. The boxes containing chips were
weighed and were found to tally exactly
with box of cigars. Since the trip of the
detectives every conceivable trap has been
set to catch the thieves, but they have NOT
even nibbled. The robberies continued I'M
to week or so ago, when they stoned az
suddenly as they began The detectives
are still at work and have hopes.

M. C. Whitney e. Co.

New York, Nov. 12-Members of the
brokerage firm of G. NJ Whitney & Co..
which assigned yesterday, filed separate
assignments this morning
The assignee of G. M Whitney & Co.
said this evening that the firm owes about
three million on loans, the sureties on
which were deemed sufficient when the
loans were made. A considerable sum In
cash to come in within few days will go
far towards Strengthening out matters. The
question of whether the firm will be able
TO resume depends upon the state of the
market for the next few days and the value
of securities pledged.
The assignee of Decker Howell g. Co.
has large force of clerks making up
statement of the firms condition, but the
daily transactions were so numerous thatit
will take some time to arrive at clear I'M
Outstanding of the assets and liabilities.
The assignee said this evening that large
amount of the securities turned over to
him were extremely good collateral, par
ticularly Willard stocks, vastly above the
temporary price made by this abnormal
market. If creditors use good Judgment
and do not act hastily, they will not only
be paidin full, but will leave good surplus
for the estate.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch I
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 12.-In it's issue this
morning the Farmers cAduocdte, the official
paper of the Farmers alliance, or Peoples
party of Kansas, has the following to say
of the future of the party: 1--WE shall at
once commence to marshal the hosts of the
Peoples party for the conflict of 1892. In
this great work there are many prejudices
to be overcome. Sectional lines must be
abolished, interests which are Identical
must be brought together, and the combined
forces of the agricultural and laboring
classes must be consolidated against the
forces of the corporations, monopolies,
trusts, syndicates and moneyed aristocrats
who have for years Toasted upon the sub
stance of the people. The people simply
ask for justice, that alone, and that by the
Eternal they will have. The coming con-
test, therefore, will not take place
between the northern and southern sec
tons OF our country. The interests of the
people Of the west and south are Identical
and their political forces must be consoli-
dated against the power of corporate
greed.n
