Perilous Position of the Schooner Mary
A. Hall.

Orient, n. Y. March 19.-Eary this morn
ing, during heavy northerly .gale, the
three masted schooner Mary A. Hall of
New York, Captain NJ. yeaZie, with lum-
ber, came ashore half mile west of Orient
Point, Long Island Sound, opposite Orient
Point hotel. She is bound from Pensacola
for New Haven. The schooner is lying ole
hundred and fifty feet off shore, parallel
with the beach. All efforts TO board the
vessel arewithout success. There are many
small rocks between her and the beach
and she appears 10 be pounding on them
A high wind prevails. The crew have not
ventured an attempt to land By boat, as in
the present condition of the sea it will
mean almost certain death by being dashed
against the rocks. Captain Veazie sent sew
eral messages ashore By means of pieces of
board, to which they were attached. A
wrecking tug is in the vicinity of the
stranded vessel.

It is not probable that a new city
building will be erected the coming
year although no one doubts but what
it is badly needed. A prominent Bath
capitalist makes this suggestion for

Reports of Government Successes in Skir-
mishes with tho Rebels.
Havana, March 1e.-General Lachambre,
commanding the Spanish forces in Cuba,
reports the loss of Col. Santoscides force
in an engagement with band Of rebels at
Guantanamo the 10th, as five seriously
wounded. The revolutionists lost seven
killed and fifteen wounded. among the
latter being one of the leaders of the band.
Major VaQueros Column, the report says,
attacked and dispersed the rebels in the
vicinity of jacaibana wounding one of
them. .-s--t,
Colonel Santoscilde arrived at Manzanilla
on the 18th and assumed command Of the
troops in that district. On the 18th a force
of the government troops under Col. Bosch,
attacked party of rebels at Guantanamo
and completely routed them. One rebel was
killed. The next day the same force over
took the Pedez band of revolutionists, and
after sharp engagement, during which
two of the rebels were wounded. dispersed
them, capturing all their arms. uuRos'-
band were defeated and fed to the noun
tains.
The despatch from Key West to New
YORK, stating that the Spanish cruiser In

that the cruiser was in port four days ago.

ASK FOR A TUNNEL.
What Newfoundland Thinks Should
Be Done.

If Admitted to the Dominion She viii Ask
For All Rail Connection With Quebec
It-Would Shorten the Voyage to Eng
land.
Ottawa. Ont, March 19.-It is stated here
that an effort is being made in Newfound-
land to add enormously to the demands OF
the COLONY when the terms of it's admission
to the Dominion are considered. I he latest
proposition is that Canada should tunnel
the Straits of Belle Isle in order to give the
island all rail connection with Canada.
This. it is urged, would confer special ad-
vantages upon Canada. reducing the sea
voyage to England by one-third and rem
dering it possible to convey passengers
from Montreal to Liverpool in one hundr ed
and five hours. he straits are shout
twelve and half miles wide and the land
formation is said to be favora BILE to the un-
dertakiDg. Another scheme of more mod
est proportions, is that the iala nd railroad
be completed to Belle Isle and that a ferry
be maintained on the straits to make con-
nection with railroad TO Quebec. 1t is
considered hardly likely that the success
of the coming conference will be endan-
gered by the attempt to commit Canada to
the tunnel scheme though the question
of main tanning water comm1nica ton will
undoubtedly be raised.

How Great Britain's Attitude is Regarded
in Washington.

HOW UreaI DFItaihs AItitude Is Regarded
in Washington.
Washington, March l9.-The Nicaraguan
troverted by those familiar with Great
Britain's side of the case. 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Hatch was the regularly accredited
official of Her Majests's government, and
that his rank at Bluedelds was that of
pro consul. 1t is emphatically denied that
he was a moving spirit in the troubles of
last summer, and his whole course, it is
said, was one of Cancellation, and as far as
his influence went, it was used to promote
harmony. A voluminous mass of testimony
was taken by the British government with
respect 10 these tro1 bles and Her Majestyss
government is entirely satisfied that Mic
aragua acted hastily in expelling Mr..
Hatch, as no substantial grounds existed
tor having done so. II is for this reason
that General Barrios's recent mission to
London proved abortive, and Great Britain,
it is understood, will insist upon proper in
demnity being paid Mr. Hatch, more espec-
tally rs the Americans who were expelled
at the same time We're permitted to return
to Nicaragua and resume their relations.
AT the State Department, in the
Cabinet conferences, the Nicaraguan and
Venezuelan matters have assumed the lead
over the Spanish incident. The feeling of
surprise and, Indignation called out by the
statement that Great Britain had stipulat-
ed that third commissioner to be appointed
to adjndicate damages, should not be a cit
izen of the United Statrs," was materially
modified later in the day by said
to have been received from the best in
formed quarters, that GreataBritain had
made no such stipulation.
The report that British warship WAS ON
it's way to Bluefelds to enforce the British
demands may call some further action on
he part of the United States. 1t is regard
ed as particularly fortunate for the inter
ests of both Nicaragua and .the United
States that Senior Ba rrios has been In Wash
ington. He had several interviews with
Secretary Gresham, and the fact that he
left Washington this morning and will sail
immediately-.for Colon,is taken as good evil
dence that he reached satisfactory un-
derstanding with the State Department.
Proper precautions were taken in regard
to the Venezuelan situation. Admiral
Meade's feet is distr ibuted in and around
Colon, not far from the Venezuelan coast.
The Navy DepaI tment has information that
France Is about to send ouiser to VeneZu-
ella ostenIbly for the purpose of taking
away the pro French minister to that
country, who recently was requested to
Withdraw. Garmany Is contemplating. dis
patching warships to enforce the payment
of the guarantee to German builders of the
Central Venezuelan railroad. The report
ed intentions of Great Britain with refer
ence to its claims on Venezuelan territory
are not overlooked by this government. and
if British, French and German war ships
appear at Venezuelan ports they will prob
ably find some Of Admiral Meades fleet
there before them.

NOT A PERSONA GRATA.
Minister ThurstOn of Hawaii Said ii
Have Been Indiscreet
In Some of the Intercourse He Has Had
With the Department of State and He
May Be Recalled. +

Washington. March l9.-Intimations are
made in generally we'll informed circles o
the effect that Mr.. Thurs on. the Hawaiian
minister has not been altogether personal
grata TO the ruling authorities in Washing
ton. Various circumstances justify the all
most positive assertion that representations
were made TO the Hawaiian government
that friendly relations between it and he
United States would be better served by
the recall of Mr.. Thurston than otherwise.
The impression prevails that the correspon-
dence between the Department and the
minister aotuated the request for Mr.
Thurston's recall. Some persons express
the opinion that several frank and empha-
tic remarks, dropped frcm time to time by
the Hawaiian minister are not regarded as
trictly within the line of dignified proprie-
ty. Minister Thurston and Secretary Gres-
ham tonight refused to discuss the matter
