STEAMER DArSTIEss SEIZED.
Spanish Consul Claims She Intends
to Go to Cuba.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 1.-THE steamer
Dauntless, which is now under bond in
two cases for violating the neutrality and
navigation laws. was seized just before
daylight this morning by the captain of
the revenue cutter Boutwell, just as she
was going toward the mouth of the st.
Johns river. To prevent the Dauntless
sailing her papers were taken away, and
an officer was placed in charge. The seiz-
ure was made upon information given by
the Spanish consul, Pedro Soils, who al
legged that the vessel was starting on
filibustering expedition. To-day the pa
pers were returned, but the-vessel is slin
in charge OF an ohlceEwof the cutter. The
owner refused to make affidavit that the
vessel would not violate the neutrality
navigation or maritime laws. The Com
modore is still here, waiting for instruc-
tions from Washington. She is bound
for Truxillo, Honduras, and Capt. Nor
ton has made affidavit that he will not
stop at any port en- route.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER DEAD.
The Latter Turned ON the Gas as Her
Mother Slept.

-ttOtAtCA SACRA
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 1.--Mrs. Sarah
b. Cooper, famed throughout the entire
United States because of her untirlng zeal
in works of charity, and her daughter
Miss Hattie Cooper, were found dead in
bed at the Cooper residence, 1899 Vallejo
street, this morning, both having been as
phyxiated by gas.
All the evidence tends to show that Miss
Cooper, who suffered from acute melan-
eholia. arose after her mother had fallen
asleep, and with suicidal intent turned on
the gas. When discovered, both bodies
were rigid, death having occurred several
hours before. The news of the tragedy,
which spread, with great rapidity, caused
one of the greatest sensations that San
Francisco has ever experienced.
The sensation was the greater because of
the announcement by the Cooper family
physician that Miss Cooper had made two
unsuccessful previous attempts to end the
lives of herself and her mother in the same
way
Notwithstanding the danger to which
she was constantly subjected, the heroic
mother refused to be separated from her
daughter, remaining by her side every
hour for days and weeks at time. she
made her will in expectation of the fate
that befell her.
Mrs. Cooper was a cousin of Col. Bob
Ingersoll. She was native of New York,
but married II. +. Cooper of Chattanooga,
Tenn, publisher of the Chattanooga Ad-
vertiser, many years ago. The family
moved to San Francisco in 1863, and there
Mr. Cooper committed suicide eleven
years ago. This fact and the knowledge
that several members of her fathers fam
lily had taken their own lives had unbal-
anced the daughters mind.

HALE PROVES a WONDER.
He Is Nearly 20 Hours Ahead of the
six Day Record.

New York, Dec. 11.-One minute after
eight o'clock tonight, Teddy Hale, the
Irish hero Of the six-days' bicycle race at
Madison Square Garden, passed The previ-
GUS record for six days made by schock
in lS93-1, 900 miles-by four laps and twen-
ty-five hours fifty-nine minutes TO the
good. He not only broke the records him
self. but forced the six men following on
his tracks to break the previous best rec
ord for 1l6 hours-1,457 miles s laps, Hale
was sprinting miles in 22i at o'clock this
evening and Appeared so fresh and well
that he is looked upon as the winner of
the contest
The battle for second honors was waged
again to-day between Forster and Rice.
At noon the Dutchman had a bit the best
of the Wilkesbarre boy, and led him by q
few miles, but later on Rice had regained
the lead For a time it looked as IL Rice's
weakened frame would scarcely support
his wonderful pluck He was very weak
at times and the nervous strain was maxi
ing him irritable. He was poorly handled
up to last night, when Pete Golden, the
old-tmer, was hired by the committee of
Wlkesbarre citizens to look after the
man whose doings are filling the Pennsyl-
vania town with admiration. Golden
humored the wearled and nervous rider in
great shape, and in the evening Rice was
going much better, though still bit
weak The pace was telling on Forster
also, and he went off pretty frequently
during the day.
Reading, Schock, Smith, Taylor, Moore
and Pierce kept in about the same relative
positions after the leaders all day. Ash
niger, Maddox and Cassidy made the
third division about forty miles behind
Pierce, while of the other four Cannon
and Mcleod are likely to get the tail end
of the eleven prizes IL they keep on at
the same rate.
A tremendous burst Of applause greet
ed Hale when the announcement was
made at o'clock that he had broken the
six-day record. The band struck up Irish
airs and pandemonium reigned for a few
minutes. There was fully 5000 people ia
the garden at the time and the crowd kept
pouring In until about 10 o'clock, when
between 5000 and 10000 were present.

MADRID AND THE MESSAGE.
A Better Impression Created on
Reading the Full Text.

Washington, Dec. l1.-Semi-oficial ad-
vices from Madrid to-day state that gov
ernment circles. as well as the conserva-
tive element generally. are entirely salts
fed with the feature of the Presidents
message which related to Cuba. The irst
impression created by the meager reports
cabled to Spain was not satisfactory, and
produced some irritation. When the full
text of the Cuban chapter appeared In
the leading papers of the kingdom there
was, it is reported a complete revolution
of sentiment, and the Presidents courte-
Gus and considerate treatment OF the sub
ject received general approval. The Pres
iident's utteranees are taken on the whole
to indicate a better understanding be-
tween the two countries. These adyices
contain the further information that as 1t
is the intention of the Spanish govern
ment, when certain of the provinces are
pacified, to give home rule to Cuba on
the lines of the Presidents message, it,
tie fear of Intervention is now felt.

VENEZ UELA AND THE TREATY.
This Country VIII Do Nothing More
If 1t Is Rejected.


Washington, Dec. 11.-Neither Secretary
oIney nor the British ambassador antici-
pate any serious embarrassment in the ne
gotiations in regard to Venezuela, arising
from the delay in Minister Andrades re-
turn to the United States, and the at
tack made upon the proposed treaty by
Senior Tomas Michelena, the discarded
Venezuelan minister to London.
The cable dispatches received here on
Saturday last stating that President
Crespo approved the treaty, are regarded
as practically closing the incident. 1t has
been previously stated that the Venezue-
Ian legislature could not be convened ex-
cept in extra session, until February, and
that the constitution of that country re-
auires all treaties to be approved by both
legislative bodies-House and Senate. 1t Is
deemd possible that Senor Andrade's de-
layed departure may have been in re-
sponse to a request from President Cres-
20 that he would personally explain TO
the members of the legislature the atti-
tude of the United States in the matter,
and convey to them the intimation that
the United States had gone as far as 1t
could possibly go in the matter of inter-
vention. and that If Venezuela, after ask
ing the good offices of the United States,
refused to accept the results of those good
Offices when they were most distinctly
favorable to Venezuelan demands,
the limits of friendly interven-
ton would be understood to
have been reached To friends
with whom he conversed before leaving
washington, Senior Andrade expressed
fears that there might be a hostile feel
ing in regard to the proposed ifty-year
clause. Senior Michelena, who has stirred
up the present excitement desires TO sue
ceed President Crespo.
In well informed diplomatic circles, II
Is believed that there is nothing but politi-
cal intrigue In Senior Michelena's pronun-
ciamento against the treaty, and that when
the Venezuelan congress convenes Prcsl-
dent Crespo will take such action as will
either force a ratification OF the treaty or
precipitate another revolution.
London, Dec. 1.-THE Chronicle will to-
morrow publish a special dispatch from
washington saying that Mr.. Storrow,
counsel for the United States government
in the Venezuelan boundary dispute, who
is now in Caracas, has asked Secretary
OF state Olney whether the protocol can
be modified The writer Of the dispatch
asserts that Mr.. Olney Will not consent TO
any modification In the protocol and adds
that N Venezuela obstruets settlement
OF the boundary question the United
States viii withdraw its support.

SINKING or THE sALIER,
A Total of 202 Persons Now Believed
TO Have Been Lost.

10 nave Deeu AOSts
Bremen, Dec. 1.-THE loss of life by the
laundering Of the North German Lloyd
steamer Salier, which sank In Corunnas
Corrubeda shoals, in gale that swept the
Atlantic coasts of Europe early this week.
is now positively known to have been
much greater than at first supposed. The
steamer, in addition to her crew of 7S
men and officers, carried 2i4 steerage pas
sengers. Every soul on board went down
and was lost with the ship, making a to-
tai of 292 persons that perished through
the laundering of the old steamer. The
steerage passengers included one German,
113 Russians, 80 Galieians, and 65 Span
iards. Quite a number of women and
children were among the number. All
were bound for Argentina, where they In
tended to settle. The Salier carried no
cabin passengers. Although there seems
no hope of finding any of the passengers
or crew alive, a steamer has been dis
patched to the scene Of the wreck from
Corunna.
Berlin, Dec. 11.--A dispatch from Corun-
ma to the Cologne Gazette says that the
number OF persons lost by the foundering
of the Salier may possibly be as high as
500. The Gazette's correspondent says
that the ship had on board 2l0 passengers
when she left Antwerp, and embarked a
great many more at the various Spanish
ports she touched at. The character of the
Saliers wreckage, which has already been
washed ashore, indicates that the steamer
quickly went to pieces. 1t Is learned that
the Salier was wrecked four miles north
of villa Graeia on the night of Dec. 7, the
vessel being at the time less than three
miles off shore.
