During a gale on Wednesday last, Oct. 20, in latitude ALAG north and longitude 50.05 west, the Catalonia sighted the French fishing schooner Vague of St. Malo, dismasted, sinking and signaling for assistance.
 Capt. Stephens took off the crew of the Vague, numbering twenty-one men and boys. He reports that the schooner could not have fioated more than few hours longer and that her beats would soon have besn swamped if the fisher men had succeeded in launching them.
 The rescue of the crew of the Vague was a very hazardous proceeding. Two baats manned by volunteers w-re lower ed From the Catalonia in the middle of the night The sea was running very high at the time and the sky is de- scribed as bsing "pitch dark" After a. desperate battle with the waves the French fishermen were taken off the sinking schooner and landed safely on board the Cunarder, where they were profuse in their expressions of thanks for their deliverance.

GOV. ATKINSON ON lYl.CHING.
Advocates Laws Powerful Enough to Suppress

Atlanta, Ga.,- Oct 27.-Mob law was severely condemned by Gov. Atkinson in his message to the Georgia legislature which convened here today. The mes sage bristIed with scorching and sen sa;ional attack upon the lawless spirit that fosters the lynch law in this state.
 He says that to exterminate the prac- tice of lynching the crime must be made odious and shameful.
 He advocates stringent legislation against the mobs and insists that the legislature pass law laying every coun- ty wherein such crime is committed subject to large indemnity to the rel atives of the mob's victim. { The northern lynchers are spoken of by the governor. Of those he says:
 ''It is no excuse to say that the north ern people, who have less to provoke them to it lynch. Let Us not take them as a standard; but rather show higher type of civilization in our state and erect here a standard to which they may as pire."

LONG LOOKED FOR MESSAGE From Woodford Containing the
 Reply of Spain REACHES THE WHITE HOUSE The Full Answer Boiled Down and Only Sum- mary Was Sent--Said to Be lnof-
 fensive in Tone.
lCHES THE WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Oct. 27.-The event of the day at the state department was the long expected cablegram from United States Minister Woodford, at Madrid, trans hitting the answer of the Spanish gov ernment to his represe ntation in the in- terests of peace in Cuba. This mes sage began to come in installments at 2 o'clock last night, and it was nearly noon today before it was all in hand at the state department. It was not the length of the message that occupied the wires all of that time, but the fact that it was all in groups of figures and that it was probably being filed in small patches as it was turned into the com- phcated state department cipher in Madrid. All of this work had to be un- done at the state departms mt and the message translated from the cipher back again into good English. This oc- cupied nearly all day, so it was 3:30 o'clock before the first fair copy of the ms ssage was turned out. It was not so long, in fact there was little less than 1000 words in the message for MT. Woodford. instead of cabling the whole of the Spanish answer to his note, had conetnted himself with reducing the matter to brief outline.
 Taken to tie White House
 The first copy was taken at once to the president, not being entrusted to a mes senger. but being delivered by Chief Clerk Miehaels in person at the White House. After due opportunity had been allowed the president to read the mes- sage an application was made for a statement of its contents or nature. This was declined by Secretary Porter, and 1t was said that under no circumstances would the correspondence be made pub- lie before consideration by the cabinet.
 Said to Re Inoffensive
 From- unofficial information that has reached certain administration officials in advance of tl,s message of Mir. Wood ford's as to the nature of the Spanish re- ply. it is evident that in neither language nor subject matter is the communication likely to be taken as offensive by our governms mt. 1t may be, it is true, re- garded as insufficient to meet the issue presented by Minister Wioodford in hfs mote, but officials of the state depart, ment say that in view of what has al- ready been accomplished by the new Spanish cabinet in reforming abuses in Cuba. in removing Weyler and in pro- jecbing what appears to be a liberal measure of autonomy, our government will certainly rest at least until coEgrfss assemblies and afford the new Spanish government reasonable time to carry out hs plans. s4--.

DEPEW FAV0RS THE FORMER
Claiming That It Was the Work of the
 Enemies of the Road.
ONE HIRELING: "I THINK so, T00."
The General Manager Scouts the Theory Claim Ing It Was Break Down of Machinery Anyhow the Air Had Evident
 ly Been Applied.

. Cold Springs N. Y, Oct. 27.-President Depew's opinion that the disaster of Sunday morning on the New York Gen. tral was the result of a dynamite ex- plosion planned by enemies of the cor poration frds many upholders among railroad officials and men.
 Was It For Revenge?
 "If the embanlmert of the railway was torn up by dynamite the motive of those who did it was not robbery, but revenge" was the st atement made by one of the officials of the road today. A wig orous investigation Is being made and at least one man may be arrested today.
 Looked Like Dynamite
 "When the party of twemty-six road masters of the New York Central system arrived at the scene e arly Monday morn ing and comm-nced a critical survey of the section of the embanlxment, which had been either washed or blown out, one of the roadmastrs, a man who he'd great experience in the use of dynamite, said that the excavation looked to him very much like the work of dynamite. The tend;mcy of dynamite is to blast downward rather than upward or out ward and one of the most expert track builders of the railroad says that very light charge of dynamite would have collapsed a section of track fully as ext ensdve as the ,s.ction in question. The locomotive was found in the river at least thirty feet south of the depression in the track, which makes it reasonably certain that the engine leapsd the track Before it plunged into the muddy bottom of the river.
 Applied the Air
 "It is now known that the engineer had shut off his steam and applied the air brakes to the train before the crash came. and those circumstan lead the officials to believe that Engineer Foyle saw that something was wrong with the track in time to apply the brakes before he went in the river with his en- zine. Still it is admitted that he would have instantly applied the brakes the moment that he felt his engine sinking"
 General Managers Version
 General Manager Toucey said today that he believed the wreck was caused by break In the engineers machinery. MT Toucey said today:
 q believe something broke in the ma chinery and plowed up the ground and roadbed so that it loosened and slid into the river. The sudden stoppage of the speed of the train caused the cars to double up on each other and helped to loosen the road bed. That is what I believe caused the accident. That is the conclusion I reached from my investi- gation of the facts. If there had been a dynamite explosion before the train reached that place the engine could not have passed over and seventy-five feet this side as it did"
