FEARFUL MUTINY ON BOARD
SENSATIONAL STORY REGARDING
THE Loss OF THE BARK
PORTLAND LLOYD.
CUTTHRoAT PERUvIANs KILLED THE
OFFICERS, BUT THE VESSEL
WAS WRECKED.

PHILADELPHIA, March S.-A letter re-
ceived in this city from Charles Jones,
steward of the missing American bark
Portland Lloyd, which left Junin for New
York on February 4, conveys the startling
information that the vessel was wrecked
during desperate mutiny on board in
which the captain and most of his crew
were killed. Shortly after the bark left
Junin with valuable cargo of nitrate it
was reported she had struck on rock at
the entrance to the bay of Junin and all
hands were drowned
Jones letter declares that the affair was
a planned attempt by the revolutionary
party in Peru to seize the vessels cargo for
use against the Government.
The captain was knocked down with
handspike, the chief mate was shot dead
and two sailors stabbed. The men at the
wheel, seeing that they were at the mercy
of a set of desperate men, purposely steered
the bark on to the rocks.
The steward and A. B. Jellusson,
seaman, were the only ones of the Ameri-
can crew saved. They endured great hard
ships and had to lie concealed for some
days before they could escape the ruffians.
The leader of the mutineers is said to be
Gonzales de Pietro, a notorious character
who had shipped as a seaman on the Port
land Lloyd and had gang of cutthroats
concealed on board. 1t is believed most of
these nen persisted in the wreck.

ON THE CABLE PROJECT.
COMMUNICATION WITH HAWAII OF
GREAT INTERNATIONAL I'M
PORTANCE.
RUSSIA Is PERHAPS AS DEEPLY TN
TERESTED AS THE UNITED
STATES.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-When Congress
failed to provide for building the Hawaiian
cable, 1t by no means ended the question.
On the contrary, it has brought forward
project of international Importance by
which Russia, France, Japan and Hawaii
will join in an American enterprise for
laying a cable from the United States TO
Hawaii, and thence to Japan, with branch
cables to the French islandsand extensive
naval stations in the South Pacific. The
negotiations with these Governments has
proceeded quietly, but with such salts
factory results that they are well along
toward completion. A number of confer
ences have been held with the officials of
the japanese legation here, and several
phases of the subject are now under nego-
tiation between Toxic and Washington.
Minister Kurino is much interested in the
project. 1t is probable five or six of the
most influential and wealthy Japanese
merchants will be named among the incor-
porators.
France has also been interested, and in
the course of the negotiations she has
made suggestion to Hawaii to the effect
that French interests will be better sub
served by having the cable 60 via the
United States instead of Vancouver, which
would be controlled by Great Britain. The
chief interest of France is in securing cable
connections with Tahiti and her other Pa
citic possessions and with her naval rem
devious, which is now cut off from com
munication.
Russia's interests in the project are re-
garded as even more important than those
of Japan or France. Russia's cable COM
munication with the Western Hemisphere
is now eastward through London or Paris,
and this filtering of all her news and Off
cial messages through London in particu-
lar has long been source of irritation.
The Russian imperial family already
have cable from Vladivostock, the east
erly point of Siberia, to Japan, so the new

MISAPPLYING THE FUNDS.
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE
OFFICERS OF A SURETY
COMPANY.
A RECEIVER APPLIED For AND AN
INJUNCTION SPEEDILY
GRANTED.

DENVER, March 8.-A receiver for the Col
orado Security Company has been asked
for, and an injunction restraining it from
transacting further business has been
granted. H. j. Aldrich, one of the lead
ing members of st. Johns Cathedral is at
the head of the company. The petition is
issued by II. G. Wilson, who charges that
the company is insolvent and that the Off
GERS have converted to their own use at
least $4,000 collected on notes and
coupons.
The petitioner recites that the business
of the corporation has been for long time
recklessly, eAtravagantly and fraudulently
managed. Money has heen invested and
money collected, it is alleged, on notes
previously sold by the corporation amount
ing to $25, 900 in tae La Junta and Lamar
Ditch Company which is now insolvent,
and this is practically lost. The principal
and interest collected from other loans
previously sold by the corporation, it is
said, have been used in the payment of
favored investors, who are now buying the
loans of the corporation.
The stockholders have organized other
companies, bought real estate with the
money Of the corporation and made loans
upon the land greatly in excess of its value.
If the entire assets of the corporation were
sold they would not pay over 10 per cent
of said loans, the petition says.
The entire capital stock of the corpora
ton has been attached, except three shares
belonging to Aldrich, who denies the i'm
portant allegations in the complaint.
Mr.. Wilson, the plaintiff, was the East
ern representative of this company, and
Aldrich says this action is the result of
complications which ensued during a
snttlnr,nont
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-09

produced in 1894 will be made. The act
provides that there shall be paid on cane
and beet sugar produced in 1894 bounty
at the rate of eight-tenths of one cent per
pound and appropriates 100000 for this
purpose.
The best data obtainable, however, indi-
Gates that the appropriation is entirely too
small, and that something like $6,120,000
would be necessary to liquidate all of the
claims on basis of eight-tenths of cent
per pound.
Louisiana, it is said, produced about
00,000,00 pounds, Florida and Texas 90
100000 pounds, and estimating the beet
sugar production at 100000 pounds, the
same as the yield of 1898, giving total of
765 100000 pounds.
In view of the probable shortage Secre-
tary Carlisle has decided to pro rate the
payments among all of the producers &C
cording to their yield. This would war
rant payment of about .65 of a cent per
pound, instead of 8 of cent. Under this
arrangement all claims will fare alike and
any scramble for precedence will be
avoided

SAVERS GIVES new FIGURES
HIS REVIEW OF APPROPRIATIONS
MADE BY THE PAST
CONGRESSES.
EXPENDITURES MATERIALLY CUT
Down AND THE SALARY LIST
PRUNED.

WASHINGTON, March 8-Cha1rman Say
ers of the House Appropriations Commit
tee has made statement of the appropria-
lions of the last Congress- He presented
in the statement tables showing appropria-
tions of three Congresses, as follows: Fifty
first, $1,035, $50, 1O9; Fifty second, $1,O27,-
104, 527; Fifty third, $3.50, 33S SOL.
Mr.. Sayers says: 1.-THE appropriations
made by the Fifty third Congress, includ-
ing permanent appropriations, show re-
duction of SAG, 765, 856 under the appropria-
tions made by the Fifty-second Congress
and $45, 341 Alb under those made in the
Fifty-irst Congress-
Sayers, making comparison with last
year, shows that there is net increase of
1857, 800.
The new public buildings authorized, in
Guiding one in Chicago to cost $4,000 900,
will not exceed in cost $4,000 beyond
the sums appropriated therefor, while the
Flfty-first Congress left to its successors
more than 100000 to be appropriated for
public buildings which it authorized.
The salaried list of the Government has
been reduced by this Congress more than
600 persons, with an annual compensation
amounting to quite three-quarters of a
million dollars.

he said:
"The new silver party is more of prin-
ciple than anything else. But it is prin-
ciple that is bound to enforce recognition
from the people and one that is growing in
power daily. We may issue CARLOAD after

line would give Russia through cable COM
munication eastward instead of through
London or Paris. The military and
strategic Importance of this is very great,
for should Russia be arrayed against the
triple alliance she could not communicate
eastward to the outer world, but could
always maintain communication eastward
to the United States and to France.
Hawaii is also interested in the enter
prise, as she regards it as practical realiza-
ton of her efforts to communicate with
the outer world.

PITTsBURG, March 8.-The miners are

miners there to quit work and thus cut off

As was predicted last night, the Robbins
Company. miners in the first pool quit
work to-day, although they were under

per cent in wages held back by the COM
pany according to the agreement. The de-
fections yesterday and to-day demonstrate
that working combination among the
operators will be difficult to effect.
