THROUGH SPANISH EYES.
Continued From First Page.

four hours we battled with the heavy
sea constantly bailing, and at last land
was sighted. AS we attempted to land
the wind drove us into the breakers
and in an instant the boat was over
turned and we were struggling for life.
For an hour we battled for life and
then managed to crawl out on the sands
almost dead. Captain Murphy saved
Mr.. Crane by helping him when a
cramp caught him. Higgins was struck
on the head by floating timbers and
he died soon after landing. He was
a good sailor and a brave man. He
worked hard to save his comrades.
The men are expected here tomorrow,
there being no Sunday train.
Aid was asked from Daytona yes
terday as the Three Friends was the
only vessel in port that could stand
the seas The Washington officials
were wired asking permission to send
the tug out even with revenue officers
on board. This was at 4 p. m. yes
terday. Not hearing from this the col
lector wired the department. Then
J. NJ. Bars wired Senator Call and he
replied later, saying that he had noti-
fed Carlisle and the President. Moth
ing was heard from the department
as to aid for saving the lives of Amer
lean citizens up to late this afternoon.
This was brought about by strong
message from Bars begging the de-
partment in the name of humanity TO
allow a vessel to leave. This brought
the required permission and at $50
tonight the Three Friends steamed
out on her errand of mercy.

DON'T UNDERSTAND 1T.
The Spanish People Want to Know What
is Wrong in Cuba.

London, January 4.-The CORES
pendent at Madrid of the Times tel
egraphs to his paper:
Tine country is becoming impatient
at the unaccountable inactivity of the
executive in Cuba. which is ineXplica-
BILE, considering the favoring circum-
stances-the opportune death of Ma
Geo. the complete breakdown of the at
tempt of the American filibusters aided
by certain adventurous and sympathlz-
ing Senators to induce the United
States government to adopt an active
policy and the consequent reaction OF
public opinion throughout Europe in
favor of Spain. All of this points to
one of two crying evils: Either the
home government is deplorably lack
ing in initiative or the military chiefs
in Cuba are incapable and unworthy
of confidence. Perhaps there is little
of both. Any way, public opinion is
unanimous regarding the latter. Pri-
waite advices reveal that state of NAL
administration is prevailing in the is
land of a most scandalous character.
Even the government organs do not al
together deny this and say nothing of
the Liberal papers which are being
prosecuted for demanding reforms in
the administration in Cuba.
This prosecution is an ominous
sign and a dangerous action on the
part of the government while public
feeling is as it is. Possibly Sepor Can
ovas' decision as to the reforms in
Porto Rico is a tacit understanding
that he cannot longer run counter to
public opinion"
