The Jersey Belle Sunk in the Gale Off Alb
New York, September 10.-The large
ocean going tug Underwater came into
the lower bay early this morning and
anchored the barge Mercedita which she
bad in tow of Liberty Island. The Un-
derwriter left Philadelphia Monday

Providence. Yesterday morning about
10 to 16 miles north. northeast of Abse-
com the crafts encountered a very eavy
sea which tore of the tarpaulin and
hatchway of the Jersey Belle and she
sunk in a few N inutes.
The Jersey Belle had cargo of $500
tons of coal. On the barge besides Capt
Wolfe and the crew were the captains
wife and son, and Miss Ella B. Couillard,
New England school teacher who lives
somewhere along the Penohsoot river in
Maine and who had been spending her
vacation on the Oc can.
She sailed from New England on an
other barge. just before the sinking of
the barge the boiler which ran the pumps
blew up with terrific force scattering the
coal and splinters In every direction. The
barge sank in about 10 fathoms of water.
Through the good work of Capt. Wiley of
the Underwater the passengers and Grew
were saved. The Jersey Belle was a new
barge built about eight months ago at
Bath, Me. She was about 215 feet long,
46 feet beam and 18 feet deep.

Supervisors in this city. j. M. Nor

acted as Secretary.
Manager w. T. Phipps of Marys-

animation made by himself. He had
with him several samples of water,
showing the bad condition of the water
below the place where hydraulic min
ing debris reaches the river, as COM
pared with the condition of the river
above the hydraulic mining belt.
The attorney, Robert T. Devlin, re-
ported that, in compliance with the in
structions of the committee, he had
commenced a suit against the Golden
Gate Consolidated Mining Company
and several other defendants, who
were engaged in injurious mining near
Smartsville, in Yuba. County. The pa
pers had been served on the defend
ants, and the operations had ceased.
The suit is now pending on demurrer
in Yuba County. He also reported as
to the condition of the other litiga-

some good in thA~uidst Of it's rany
vague and impracffcable schemes. But
such as are reasonable and aim in a
right direction are very unlikely TO get
from under the mountain of radicalism
and unwisdom beneath which they are,
buried. We look forward to misgovern-

capital, inability to stiffen State credit,
wrangling among the now victorious,
and SO much effort to change and read

be wrenched and injured. So for the

renewed a hot demand for interference
in the Cuban question. But cool re-
Election will convince the true citizen
that however warm our sympathies for
the Cubans we are not warranted at
this juncture in rushing into another
trouble. Whatever reason exists now
for our interference in the Cuban matter
has existed from the beginning, and it
is conceded it is not sufficient to justify
armed interference. We should not,
to engage the nation in any serious
difficulty with Spain Not that We
have the least doubt as to the outcome
If that should happen, but we should
wait for some stronger and better rea
sons to force us into a conflict Our
sympathies for the Cubans are strong
and rightfully SO, but we are to consider
all that interference would mean to
Cuba and to US before we advance a
step in that direction Whatever we can
do peacefully and amicably we ought to
do to bring peace to the troubled isle,
but when extremists demand of the
Government that it shall bully Spain
and invite a conflict, they fail to take
into account the bonds of International
law, which require us as a nation to
deal justly with all and avoid unWar-
ranted interference. We believe that
Spain cannot crush the rebels in Cuba.
1t is probably the hope of the great
mass of the American people that they
will not be able to do so. But whether
we should jump into a foreign war Off
hand simply to aid the rebels because
of our sentiment, and without some
cause affecting us as nation, is a ques-
ton that demands very grave consider
alton of many things, and of what the
precedent would be, and how it might
Within our own borders. Occasion may
arise for our interference. The friends
of peace and prosperity pray that it
may not come to pass. But it must be
a plain and clear necessity and founded
upon an undeniable good reason when
We break off our relations with Spain
and declare war against her. We can
aid Cuba and render her great assist
ance without resorting to war. That
is and always should be the remedy Of
last resort.
