GALLANT MEN OF HULL.
CAPT. JAMES AND CREW DEFiED
STORM TO SAVE LIFE.
Rescued Seven Men From Schooner UIrica
After Hard Battle With Wind and Sea.

Hull. Mass, Dec. 1.-THE big three.
masted schooner Ulrica, which left Hills
boro. N. B.. last Friday. for Hoboken.
N. j., with a cargo Of plaster rock. was
totally wrecked on Nantasket Beach
lust before noon yesterday. Captain
John Patterson and his crew Of six men
were rescued.
A furious northeast gale, accom-
panied by snow, struck the vessel be-
fore daylight, and when off the Boston
lightship, all her sails were blown away.
Captain Patterson let go all his anchors,
but the sea was running tremendously
high, and they failed to hold. The wind
gradually increased to hurricane, and
the thick snowfall made II impossible
to see vessels length ahead. The tenn
rerature was far below the freezing
point and the men were badly FROST
bitten The Ulrica struck on the big
sand bar off the beach. and In a short
time broke completely in two.
The life saving crew of Stony Beach
launched a boat, but could do nothing
at first in the terrible sea. The second
time the boat had made considerable
Roadway when it capsized. letting the
crew into the water. They narrowly es-
capped drowning, but finally they reached
the wreck and took off Captain Patter-
son and all his crew. who were lashed to
the afterpart of the vessel The men
were completely exhausted. the hands
and feet of several being frozen.

FIGHT TFOR CUBA.
A Company Of Volunteers
Leave Boston Tonight.
The Young Soldiers Have Been
Secretly Drilling For Weeks.


Boston. Dec. 1.-THE feeling OF sym
daily growing in intensity in Boston. and
since the reported assassination OF Maceo
the war feeling seems to have taken a
great hold on a large number of yourg
men. especially those having a military
training.
Within the past two days several
bodies of volunteers are reported to have
left Boston, and last night 1t was learned
that another company of volunteers had
Just been organized. This company H.
announced TO leave Boston this evening
from India wharf on one of the Metro
politan line steamers, In charge of j. II.
Alvarez.
The officers Of the company are given
as follows: Acting captain, II. ID. Wor-
cester of company b of the Fifth, late
of the RoXbury Horse Guards; first lieu
tenant. Edward MCGOWAN, late of COM
Iany Il. Ninth Infantry; second lieuten-
ant, Claude Wyatt, late of the Charles

1t Is now reported by some of the Bos-
ton agents of the junta that telegram
came from the main Office In New York
yesterday, stating that no more men
would be needed for Cuba for the pres
ent. 1t is said that during the past few
days the recruiting throughout the coun-
try has been so productive that the
Junta has as many men available as 1t
can we'll handle for the present.
The most important problem, ii is said,
for the junta now Is how to get the men
to Cuba, but this can be easily managed,
according to the agents. Many Of the
men recruited during the past week are
expert artillerymen. and 1t is said that
this branch of the Cuban army will be
vastly strengthened by them. Nearly all
the new recruits are said to have had ex-
perience in military service.
Some question has been raised as to
whether such recruiting is not a viola
ton of the neutrality laws, but 1t ap-
pears that most of the work of organiz-
ing is done by the young men them
selves, who get together and drill under
the supervision of one of their own num-
Der, and that there Is very little in the
way of formal enlistment. Senior AL
varez, who is said to be the principal
local agent, said he did not recruit the
men, but merely furnished them with in
formation about where TO 80 to be re-
crpited.. He did not deny that some OF
the drilling which had been done In and
about Boston had been by arrangement
with the Cuban agents. but he said that
none OF them had direct supervision over
1t. or had done anything which would
implicate them in any way.

WHEELS FOR SOLDIERS.
Each Army Post and Station to Have Ten
Bicycles.

Each Army Post and Station to Have Ten
Bicycles.
The extensive and successful use of the
wheel by the French military authorities
has had its effect upon the powers that
govern the United States army, and IL the
suggestions made to congress by General
Nelson A. Miles, commander in chief, in
his recent report have any effect upon the
national lawmakers there will soon be
plenty Of official authority for the equip
ment of large number Of regulars With
bicycles Of the best make.
The bill which has been prepared for
submission to congress provides for ten
machines for each military post and sta
ton In the country, the ten most expert
cyclists In the garrison to be mounted ON
the wheels and drilled for special duties
where quick transportation Is required.
General Miles is Q cyclist himself and
knows great deal about the wheel and
its possibilities. Hence his warm advo-
cacy of its use in the army. Not only Is
the wheel useful in military action, but IL
Is Of great value as a means of furnishing
needed recreation TO soldiers, who for a
large part of the time are doomed to the
debilitating inaction of garrison life. These
enlisted men take to the wheel as natural.

Notes OF General Interest.

The squirt predicted when Capt. Whiting
resumed his position with the Tigers ar
rived on scheduled time at the Auditorium
last evening, when the home team had the
Grays for opponents. There was small
crowd in appearance, owing to the atmos-
pheric conditions, but what was lacking
in numbers was made up in enthusiasm.
Capt. Whiting played a star game and
showed no symptoms Of rustiness. His
brilliant example inspired his men with
al kinds of confidence, and the result was
that Capt. Canavan found it rather rough
shedding. With Hobe's advent Bill
Whiting played a sturdy game, and the
result was never in doubt. 1t was an open
secret that the Grays were out for the
game, but this. desire didn't cut any ice
with the locals, and they sailed in when
the ball was spotted to give the
Cove City team a good thrashing in the
latest fashion.
Referee Keough was kept busy taking
the ball out of the netting, 16 goals'being
scored during the game. The Grays got
seven of this number, but most OF them
were landed behing Lations after the
Tigers had the game nailed down3and had

the extreme youth of the parties. The

for divorce was kept a profound

wishing it TO become known. Hence
