HUNDREDS ON BOARD
Spanish Cruiser Reina Re-

Foundered.
HER ABSENCE CAUSES ANXIETY,
Pieces of Her Boats and Other
Wreckage Picked Up
Off Tangier.

GIBRALTAR, March 15.-The Spanish
cruiser Reina Regente is believed to
have foundered off Tangier, Morocco,
during the recent gale. She had crew
Of 42O officers and men. Pieces Of one
Of her boats and semaphore flags are re-
ported to have been picked up along the
shore near Ceuta and Tarifa.
Reina Regente is new, second-class,
deck-protected cruiser 1t is Of 1000
tons, has $4,000 horsepower and is ex-
pected to steam 20 knots.
The Reina Regente had just conveyed
the returning Moorish mission to Tan
gier. She left that port OH March for
Cadiz, and has not since been heard Of.
The absence of news from her is caus-
ing the greatest anxiety, and it is believed
that she has been lost with all hands.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Encoura ging Activity In the Pig Iro
Market.

Encoura ging Activity in the Pig Iron
Market.
CLEVELAND, March 15.-The Iron
Trade Review says:
Putting together the reports from
various pig iron selling centers, there
has been an encouraging activity in that
metal i'll the past ten days. .Bessemer
pig has seen Q lulu, but in foundry and
milling trades there has been an in
creasing sale. Southern furnaces have
had good share of the going busi-
ness. but without any Improvement
in prices. In Eastern Pennsylvania
and in the New York market larger
sales of Alabama iron have been at
tended with further cuts. Detroit has
had larger purchases Of pig iron during
the week then for many weeks previous.
There is a better feeling as the result Of
the railroad purchases, the car orders
having given business to variety of
industries that are not directly affected
by rail purchases. Western lines
have contributed more of late
to the volume of railroad buying,
particularly in cars, but it is well un-
derstood that some carriers in that Sec
ton, particularly the corn .'oads, must
have a good crop TO ExI! before they
can be Of great help to the iron market.
Reports from the foundries are some
what conflicting. Some sellers of pig
iron find their foundry trade still dis
posed to follow the l.-arket closely.

A MOUNTAIN eoF GOLD.
Fabulous Find Said to Have Been DiscOv
cred In Western Australia.

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 15.-By
mail via steamer Miowerra comes the
astonishing story from the distant gold
fields of Western Australia, hardly
creditable if it had not been borne out
by the arrest Of several ringleaders in
the most terrible tragedy that has yet
been enacted in the lawless Coolgardie
Fabulous finds have lately been re-
ported from Ninety Mile Point, nuggets
weighing between so and $50 ounces of
pure gold being picked mp OH the sur
face of the ground. These stories
made men mad with lust for gain,
and prospectors in the race for
wealth rushed on for hundreds of
miles in the wilderness, far
beyond where white men had ever been.
They had scarcely enough food and
water to keep them alive. They were
brought back raging with fever and
placed in the Coolgardie hospital al
ready overcrowded with dying miners.
The Confession of Robertsou.
The fate of these desperate men did
not deter eight new arrivals from form
ing syndicate and with heavy packs
of provisions, water and rifles, started
from Ninety Mile Point, the extreme
limit of Coolgardie, to prospect in the
interior. They started Dec. of last
year and nothing has been heard of
them since; it was supposed that they
had met death. Dan Robertson,
one Of the syndicate, returned
from his camp, 100 miles from
Coolgardie, Jan. IL, and confessed to
the police that after discovering noun
tain of gold, the party returning to
camp, found that band Of blacks had
stolen all the provisions. The syndicate
pursued the blacks to their village, and
butchered the entire encampment,
shooting the men and Draining the
women and children. The other mur-
derers have been arrested. The solid
hill Of quartz which the syndicate found
is 70 feet high, $50 feet wide at the base
and 16 feet at the summit, full of gold.
