New York, Nov. 1e.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived today per the
Ward line steamer Yucatan from Ha-
vana were IS shipwrecked seamen.
They were Captain Nelson and Il OF
the crew of the British steamer Cola,
which ran ashore on Colorado Reef at
o'clock on the morning of Nov 2.
Later the steamer got OF into deep
water ana Captain Nelson attempted
to run her across the strait TO Key
West, but the water gained so rapidly
that at a. m. they abandoned the
steamer, which shortly afterward sank
in deep water. AT a. m the ship
wrecked seamen landed on the Cuban
coast about go miles west of Havana,
where they fell into the hands OF the
Spanish soldier e. The Spaniards, be-
iieving them to be filiDusterS from
the American coast, treated them
.harshly, threatening to shoot all hands,
and finally they were taken to Ha-
vana, where they were taken in charge
by the British consul, who sent them
TO New York.
Henry w. De Lorey, one of the ship
wrecked crew, in speaking of their ex-
perience in Cuba, said: "We landed
about 60 miles west of Havana and
were taken in charge by a troop of
Spanish soldiers, who escorted US to
sugar estate. Here they housed us
very kindly, but they had strong sus-
picions that we were American fill
busters. Late in the day another
troop of soldiers took US to Marian,
where they insisted that L could speak
Spanish. I was taken to the head
quarters and questioned by big Span
lard who asked if we were English or
American. In answered English No,
American said he, striking me over
the head with a loaded cane and stun
ming me. The blood ran down my neck
and I felt weak, and as the soldiers
pointed their guns at me 1 expected to
he shot. Failing to find Americans
among our crew, I was dismissed. We
were compelled to sleep on the bare
stone floor with soldiers on guard. We
were then sent to Havana, where We
were cared for by the British consul
If we had been Americans we would
never have lived to tell the tale
The Cola was a vessel of 1,162 tons
built at Airs, Scotland.

SAYS WAR IS POSSIBLE
Minister De LONE Makes an Inn
portant Statement.
BELIEVES WAR WITH SPAIN
WOULD BE TERRIBLE
Might Precipitate n General Row In
which England. France, Russia
and Holland Would lie Interested
Revolt in Cuba hut the Begin
ming of Trouble.

New York, Nov. IA Washington
Cd. CO special says:
Senior Dupuy De Lone, the Spanish
minister, was asked yesterday the di-
rect question, DO you believe there is
any danger of a, war between the Unit
ed States and Spain?"
1T is possible the minister an
swered 1T would be a terrible one.
One can foresee its beginning, but not
its end
This remark of the Spanish minister,
made in all seriousness by a diplomat
in his standing, is remarkable. 1t ad-
mi.s the tension in the relations of the
two countries and shows that the
spirit of desperate bravado that would
push Spain to war with the United
States is not confined to the Spanish
common people, but affects those high
in authority who are better acquainted
with :hiS country's resources and
power.
Senior De LONE is far more inclined
to believe war possible than is gen
orally supposed in diplomatic circles.
SPANS minister has not so much
confidence in the next president or the
next secretary of state. 1t is feared
at the Spanish legation that desire
for popularity may move the new adj
ministration to actively aid the insur-
gents, in which case Spanish pride will
rebel and trouble may result. An Of
fetal communication from SPANS po-
litical agent at st. Petersburg informs
the Spanish minister that the recently
published report that in war be-
tween the United States and Spain,
Russia would be favorable to the Unit
ed States, is not true. The commune
cation alleges that the Russian govern
ment has assured Spain that it will
preserve an absolute neutrality to a
certain 9oint.
From this it is argued at the lega-
ton here that as war with Spain
would be based on the interference OF
a foreign power in her inalienable right
to hold her territorial possessions, the
United States need not expect SYM
pathy from Russia or any other Eu-
ropean nation.
France, having recently acquired
colonies. would bitterly resent, it is
thought at the legation, any country s
effort TO aid Cuban independence. Rus
STA likewise has immense interests at
stake, besides having treaty of al
lance with France The Spanish min
lister believes the revolt of Cuba is the
beginning of trouble with all of the
West India islands and that England
and Holland are watching their colonies
with ill-concealed uneasiness.
Jamaica has of late manifested
marked restlessness, and reports re-
ceived at the legation say Great Britain
has been on the alert for six months
to suppress incipient rebellion.

General Engagements with Insur-
gents Reported.
Havana, Nov. 16.-No definite news
regarding the movements of General
Weyler, who is operating against the
rebels under Maceo in the province of
Pinar Del Rio, has been received. The
last reports stated that he was pene-
trating the Rubi hills, under d har-
assing fire from the insurgents, but
since then nothing has been heard from
him, and there is considerable anxiety
among the loyalists here. Rumors Of
all kinds are current, but none of them
are trustworthy.
Official reports were received today
giving accounts of skirmishes between
the troops and rebels in all the prov
inces except Pindr Del Rio.
The gunboat Magallenes, which has
arrived here, brings information that
General Castellanos has arrived at
Gascorro. He reported that he had
eight encounters with the rebels, who
were very active. Returning from.
Gascorro to San Miguel, he had further
encounters with the enemy, which were
commanded by Garcia, Cebreco and
other leaders. The rebels, who were
numerous, sustained heavy losses. The
Spanish column fired in the various
engagements 43 cannon shots and used
over 900 cartridges, The troops lost
20 killed and a major, a lieutenant and
lib privates wounded.
The rebels have destroyed the town
of Guamaro in the eastern part of the
province of Puerto Principe.

New York. Nov. 16.-The Cubans in
this city are greatly excited over the
CAMPAIGN which General Weyler is wag-
ing against General Maceo and all think
that a crisis IN the revolution has ar
rived and that should General Weyler
suffer defeat and be compelled to return
TO Havana. the war would be soon
terminated.
About the probability of a war between
Spain and the United States. Senior Julie
De Castro of the Cuban Revolutionary
party, said today to q reporter for the
United Associated Presses: Il believe
that Spain viii try TO precipitate a war
with this country. because her own
government at home is threatened If
Spain loses Cuba without the interven-
tion of the United States is certain that
the Carlists IN Spain viii rise and as
they number about 2.0Oe 600 the result will
be the overthrow Of the present govern
Tnent and the accession to the throne Of
Don Carlos, who is now in Paris waiting
for just such a move.
THE Spanish officials said Senior De
Castro, realize this danger and the only
way o1t Of the difficulty is TO engage
i war with this country, which viii
give them an excuse for losing the island
as they surely must in such war

A ROCK MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Mildred Bevington's Account of n
Long Shot at an Antelope.


Mildred Bevington Rocky Mountain
girl living in Wyoming on the border OK
Jacksons Hole. has recently been sue
cessful at hunting game which men usu-
ally find hard to get, says the New York
Sun. Her rife is a new Sharp,ess powder
using SO-calbre eapon. and with it she
has killed half dozen hlacktailed deer in
week. She still hunts the deer, and
wears boomers while hunting. The bull
lets she uses are soft nosed, so that when
they hit a beast. they mushroom and
spread out until they are half an inch
or more across Not one of the deer that
she has hit has run more than 20 yards,
and usually they have died before they
had gone ten rods. She finds antelope
hunting the best sport of all. and she

New York, Nov. 1.-THE new agree
ment which has just been entered into
between the companies forming the
great steel pool has practically driven
those outsiders who have heretofore
been customers of the pool into a COM
bination to manufacture their own
steel, as the price charged these rolling
mills for the product is so high that
they will either be forced to shut down
or do their own manufacturing. 1t is
therefore considered more than likely
the Cleveland companies will soon put
up mills OF their own. as under the
change they are debarred from COM
peting.
The new agreement was entered into
by the companies Friday, and differs
radically from the old. 1t takes in both
billets and crude steel and the finished
product. The former contract only
dealt with crude material.
In speaking of this agreement,
Charles Kerchoff, editor of the Iron
Age, said today:
Il regard the proposal to put up
mills by the Cleveland companies as
more than possible, but it is from sheer
necessity that they do so. They are
practically forced into a fight for their
existence. The Lake Erie Iron COM
pany is the one which started the
movement. and 1 believe all butsone
of the manufacturing concerns have
agreed TO enter. The company will
put up another hearth plant. The
Union rolling mills will also stop buy
ing billets from the furnaces in the
combination.
This matter has been in the wind
ever since the old agreement was en-
tered into, but it was delayed because
it was not believed the agreement
would last long. There were too many
weak spots in it. II has fallen apart
as was expected because it was unjust
to those who were in the pool and who
were Derforce customers of others in
the pool because they did not make
their own product. This injustice was
that the allotment of production only
dealt with crude steel in the form OF
billets.
''At the last meeting, however. the
agreement was so changed as to take
in the finished product only Under
the old system, rolling mills which had
a plant capable of turning out finished
stuff. did it so cheaply that it crowded
out the finished products of those who
had no steel plants. AS the agreement
exists at present, everything is in
cluded, except steel rails, which are in
a pool of their own"

CUBAN MANIFESTO.
Asks All Latin-American Republics
70 FptarnoSa THAR GooI Offices

Asks All Latin-American Republics
TO TnterpOse Their Good Offices.
Washington, Nov. 16.-All represent
atives of the Latin-American countries
here, received on Saturday a message
from Salvador Cesneros and Rafael
Pontuondo Y'Tamayo, president and
secretary OF the foreign affairs of tie
Cuban republic. After a lengthy re-
view Of the progress of the war from
its inception, the message concludes:
Nov is the proper and opportune
moment. Once freed from their mother
countries, the Latin-American repub
lies were able to maintain, without dis
pleasure and without diShonor. such
material and mental relations as their
similarity of origin made easy to es-
tablish. Spain recognized in the end
that her old colonies were wise in be-
coming independent. The time has
come now that the latter may see to
what extent their voice may be heard
in the Spanish councils as regards the
solution of a conflict so identical t.
that which was faced when the prob
lem of their political evolution was
confronted. In Intervening so that
Spain may recognize the independence
OF Cuba, and that an end may be put
to so much destruction of life and
property in a Latin-American country,
they viii proclaim a new adhesion to
the principle to which they owe their
existence as nations, and enforce their
right to intervene in the solution of
question which SO nearly touches the
race whose representatives in the new
world, their good viii toward Spain and
their sisterly love to Cuba viii also be
shown by their action. 1t would be
difficult to conceive a nobler or more
humane political step to be taken by
any nation. Cuba is determined to
attain her independence, even at the
risk Of having to resort to the gravest
extremes; but now that her victorious
soldiers oVerrUn the entire island: now
that all her sons have endorsed the
revolutionary movement and are ready
TO support her army and furnish il
with all elements of war at whatever
sacrifice. she wishes 20 show her Amer
lean sisters that she is inclined to
peace. and consequently invites their
governments to interpose their good
offices with Spain in order to put ar
end to this war upon such conditions
as may secure for Cuba her sovereign
ty and for Spain all compensations
which may render less OnerOus the ter
ritorial loss which she must necessar-
lily sustain.
I'VE rely upon the wisdom OF the
latin-American republics, upon their
love for liberty, sure that they will
appreciate the nobleness of our intent
tons, the Justice Of our rights and the
tries: that the independence of Cuba,
founded upon the blood and efforts of
her sons. may be finally accomplished
through the Intervention and the agree
ment Of all the nations of our own
race

CARDISAL GIBBONS BOOK.
1t Speaks Very Kindly of American
Institutions.

Baltimore, Nov. 16.-Cardinal Glib
bons has completed his new work en-
titled THE Ambassador of Christ"
which will soon be issued by his pub
fishers. In prefacing his work, the
cardinal says:
Among the thousands of Americans
that annually embrace the religion of
Christ, the most exemplary and con-
spicuous are often found among those
who had been at one time the most
pronounced opponents of the ancient
faith. The most formidable zealot of
the primitive church became the great
apostle of the ancients.
The Americans are fundamentally a
religious people. They who character
lied them as a nation so absorbed in
trade and commerce. in agriculture and
politics as to give scarcely a thought
to the eternal truths are judging them
not correctly.
I'VE are happily living under a gov
eminent of constitutional freedom. Our
citizens enjoy the largest measure of
liberty that is compatible with Law and
order"
