HUNDREDS DROWNED.
Wreck of the Steamer Salier Off the
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
211a miles from land The dispatch
further says that she must have broken
up almost immediately, as parts Of the
steamer have already washed ashore.
She had on board over 800 passengers,
mostly steerage, and crew of IS men.
All Oh board We're drowned.
OF the steerage passengers, there
We're over 100 Russians, about 20 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 SaIier
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 i'll a northeasterly
direction for the bay leading up to
Villagerisa.

Quesada authorizes his former state
ment that the Cubans have enough
men and leaders to gain the cause for
which they are fighting. They can
avail themselves of 10000 men, and
more if necessary, but what they need
is arms and ammunition and medicine
for the sick and wounded. There was
no information received at the head
quarters other than a telegram from
President Estrnda Palma of the Cuban
junta, which attributed Maceos death
to assassination by a plot arranged be-

Sensational Charge of the Judge of an
Alaska Court.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec 14,-'
The district court is in session at Ju.
neau, Alaska, and Judge Delaney de-
livered sensational charge to the
grand jury, i'll which he quoted from %
published parody OH the distribution of
justice i'll the territory of Alaska. 1t is
generally charged in this report, on the
authority of prominent citizens, that it
is practically impossible to secure con-
victions in Alaska for violations of the
liquor and fisheries laws, because the
liquor men and canneries SO combine
that it is impossible to secure a jury
that will convict. The judge charged
the grand jury to either indict the men
who are thus openly charged with de-
fiance of the law, or else those who are
responsible for the publication referred
to, for libel and slander.
