Further Details Of the Wreck Of the
Spanish Steamer Salier.
BUFFETED BY HEAVY SEAS
The Captain Lost His Reckoning In the
Fog and Struck a Ledge Of Rocks.
Sinking With All Hands.

Corunna. Spain, December 11.--It Is
now thought that between 400 and 500
people were drowned in the wreck OF
the steamer Saller. She was command
eb by Captain wempe and had gen
eral cargo. The disaster occurred dur
ing dense fog and heavy weather. The
salier had fearful passage from Bre-
men to this port. Two OF her boats
were swept overheard by the heavy sea
which beat over her and she sustained
other damage.
The steamer struck Monday night last
on ledge OF rocks two and one-half
miles from this place. She was bound
to villa Garcia. where she was to ship
another lot OF steerage passengers
bound for Buenos Ayres. 1t was night
time and the Salier had to run far
enough south to clear the rocks of Cape
Corrubedo before starboarding her
helm and heading southwest. gradually
pointing up westward and then In a
northeriy direction in order 10 head into
the bay leading up to villa Garcia. But
Captain Wempe seems to have been
thrown out Of his reckoning by the fog
and rain and TO have headed to port
too soon, with the result that he failed
to clear the rocks below Cape Corfu
bedo and went down with his ship and
all hands.
OF the steerage passengers there were
over 100 Russians. about 30 GalIcians.
some Gottmans and about 200 Span
iards, according to estimates. all on
their way to Argentine Republic. II the
disaster had occurred after the Salier
had touched at villa Garcia, the less Of
life would have been much greater.

death by asphyxlation OF Mrs. Sarah -
Cooper and her daughter. Harriet, this
morning. has produced n profound SEN
satl0n In this city. No woman In San
Francisco or on the Pacific Coast was
so prominent Rs Mrs Cooper. who had
devoted her life TO religion and philan-
thropic work and was actively connect
ed with every reform movement. She
was assistant pastor OF the First Con-
gregational church and took promi-
nent part In the prosecution Of Rev.
c, o. Brown for his alleged immoral
relations with Miss Matte overman.
She was n cousin OF Col. Robert Inger.
sol. with whom. despite their opposite
religious Views. she maintained a warm
friendship.
The mother and daughter were found
lying dead In the same bed about .
o'clock by their Chinese servant, Miss
Cooper had wrapped the clothes care
fully about her. but Mrs. Cooper had
evidently attempted to arise when she
detected the escaping gus and was too
much overcome 20 leave the bed Two
gas Jets were turned on full and all
windows and doors were carefully clos
ed. The coroner and police detectives
made careful examination OF the room
and concluded that. while the mother
slept. Miss Cooper had arisen. turned on
the gas Jets closed the doors and win
dows. and then calmly returned 20 bed
The officials are convinced that IL was
a case Of matriclde and suicide. Dr.

Miss Cooper had been suffering for
months from melancholia. with homl-
cIdal and suicidal tendencies. Her faith
er committed suicide ten years ago and

Mrs, Cooper concealed her daughters
condition from all except few intl-

her daughter East soon to place her In

night restore her health. Harriet left
note TO the coroner requesting that

MAcEo PROBABLY ALIVE.

Key West. December 11.--Maceo's
death is still discredited by the greater
number Of prominent Cubans here. Yet
there are numbers who fear 1t is true.
All await the arrival Of the steamship

fore conceding its truth. The Spanish
consul received notice OF Maceo's death
yesterday. The report that DR.. zurtei-
cha, who was Maceo's physician, had
seen Maceo's body exhumed, is untrue.
1t is learned from reliable source that
Zurteicha was never Maceo's physician.
