HUNDREDS DROWNED.

Wreck OF the Steamer s.lier or tho
Coast OF Spain.
LONDON, Dec. IA special dispatch
from Berlin, says that the North Ger.
man Lloyd steamer Salier, was
wrecked on the night Of Dec. z. four
miles north of Villagarcia, Spain, and
az miles from land. The dispatch
further says tfat she must have broken
up almost Immediately, as parts Of the
steamer have already washed ashore.
She had on board over 300 passengers,
mostly steerage, and a crew of 65 men.
All on board were drowned.
OF the steerage passengers, there
were over 10O Russians, about 25 Cali
clans, some Germans and about 200
Spaniards, according to the estimates,
all on their way to the Argentine Re.
public, looking for new homes for them
selves and families. If the disaster had
occurred after the Salier touched at
Villagarcia, the loss of life would have
been much greater, as it is understood
there were nearly 100 more passengers,
men, women and children, awaiting at
that port to embark on board the Salier
for Buenos Ayres.
The Corrobodo rocks, on which it is
believed the Salier was lost, are stu.
ated off the southwest coast of Cor
unna, and should have been given a
wide berth before the steamer headed
eastward and then in q nOrtheasterly
direction for the bay leading up to
Villagerisa.

8iTRATiON OF DISPUTES

Now Being Negotiated Between This
Country and England an Event in
History-Expected to BE in Operation
Before tho Close Of This Administra-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The negotia-
lions between the United States and
Great Britain for treaty of general
arbitration, covering all subjects of diff
ference between the two English.
speaking nations, present and pros.
pective, has advanced to q stage Of
completeness far beyond what the pub.
lic has had reason to believe. The
purpose Of Secretary Olney and Sir
Julian Pauncefote is to conclude nego-
tiations within the next three weeks.
AL of the substantial features Of the
treaty have been agreed on. From the
present status of the negotiations, it is
believed the following will be the i'm
portant terms Of the treaty:
Pastures Of the Treaty.
First-A term Of five years from the
date Of the exchange Of ratification

Document Of Importance.
d The completion of this treaty will
ksnark an important epoch in the rela.

Enations, and in the judgment Of those
Ewho have been most identified with its
contamination it will be the most i'm

acter in the history Of their mutual
dealings. The president made passing

.plished this, the larger question cf
.rr: Arbitrating All Dlnsrenoes
would require considerable time for its
complete development. But the nego.
tiations have proceeded with surpris.
ing unanimity SO that those engaged in
the work confidently believe that ii
will be fully agreed upon and the sig
natures of the contracting parties
placed to the documents within three
weeks. This will give fully two
months for tho consideration and rati.
fcation of the treaty at the present
session of the United States senate,
and unless some unexpected obstacle
should arise in that quarter. there is
every reason to anticipate that the
treaty fs-
.a may BE Made Ensctivs ri.
before the close Of the present admins.
tration. At least this is the confident
hope and expectation of those most con-
cerned in the negotiations.
Aside from the previously referred to
points, it can be stated in general
way that the terms of the treaty are
such as to ''clear the board" Of all the
vexatious questions which have arisen
between the United States and Great
Britain. These have been numerous in
recent years, and some Of them have
threatened serious consequences. Z
Advantsrss Of the Treaty.
The main purpose Of the treaty is to
guard against future differences
threatening . rupture and in this the
negotiators believe that the terms Of
the instrument will be such as to avoid
all possibility of international conflict
for the future. This is regarded as the
main achievement. It is one said to be
peculiarly advantageous to the COM
mercial interests Of both countries, as
suring them against fnmors Of war or
the serious prospect Of war. The
reasons for limiting the treaty to ave
years are doubtless to place q measure
az this extent IN fair trial
