sCHOONERs IN A SMASH.
One of Them Drifts Away with
3 Men and Their Fate Unknown.


Vineyard Haven, Mass, Nov. S,-If the
schooner Fortuna survived collision
which took place early this morning twen-
ty miles south of Montauk Point, with the
schooner Edward E. Brlery three men of
her crew of eight, are probably drifting
about the ocean south of Long Island on
their nearly unmanageable vessel.
Capt. Ross of the schooner, who brought
the news of the collision, believes that this
is the case, although there Is u possibility
that the Fortuna was so severely injured
that she sunk in a short time, In which
case the three men went down In her.
The Briery was bound from Newport
News to Portsmouth, with a cargo Of coal.
About 12:45 this morning, the Fortuna sud
denly loomed up ahead, and In a moment
the two vessels came together with a ter
rife crash. The Brlery lost her entire
headgear, and the wreekage had to be cut
in order to save the hull from further dam
age.
AS the two vessels were locked together
Capt. Chase of the Fortuna, with the first
and second mate, the cook and one sea-
man, managed to climb on board the
Briery, without stopping to ascertain just
what damage their boat had sustained
and a heavy sea parted the vessels before
the three remaining men of the Fortuna
could follow. Another huge surge swept
the two vessels farther apart, and soon
the Fortuna was lost altogether In the
darkness
The Fortuna was bound for Boston and
left Newport News only a short time be-
fore the latter. She Is of $50 tons burden
and 16l feet over all.

CUBAN OFFER OF CANOVAS.
A SPANISH SENATOR TELLS OF A
TALK WITH HANNIs TAYLOR.

The Former American Minister Told
Him Spain Must Not Suppress the
Cuban Revolution by Force of Arms
Alone, But Must Carry Out Re-
fOrms-AIsO Said President CIcve-
lands Successor WAS Sure to be
Less Favorable to Spnin-snid
There Was No Reason TO Fear
sherman.
Madrid, Nov. S.--senator Salvani has
written a letter to the newspapers here,
in reply to the article on the Cuban ques-
ton, published in an American magazine,
of which article Hannis Taylor, the former
United States minister to Spain, is the au-
thor The senator says: Il am astound-
ed at Mr.. Taylor's article In an important
American review"
Continuing, Senator Salvani proceeds to
tell the following story: 81 met Mr.. Tay-
lor last April in a street of Madrid and,
though out of prudence, l asked him
nothing. he said: Spain must. not sup
press the Cuban insurrection by force of
arms alone. She must carry out re-
forms
''Te did not mention a word about au-
tonomy, but, he added: Peace will then
follow Immediately. Spain has a friend
in the white house whose power Is on the
eve OF expiring, and she ought to profit by
the opportunity to obtain peace speedily,
for, whoever succeeds him. he is certain
to be less favorable to Spain than Presi-
dent Cleveland
Il recognized the Importance of the fore
going declaration, and hastened to COM
municate with my friend Canovas (the
former premier). who warmly thanked me
In letter. which l have retained
Shortly afterwards the reforms of Ca
novas began TO be talked about, and 1
was commissioned to explain them to Mr.
Taylor, and to tell him they would be pub
lished within fortnight, which actually
occurred. Mr.. Taylor embraced me, say
ing: You and / will bring about peace in
Cuba, and thus powerfully contribute to
the good of humanity and uphold the
great interests of civilization by ending
the war, the prototype of crime and re-
turn to barbarism.'
II again FASTENED to communicate these
words In the proper quarter.
Just prior to these events Mr.. Taylor,
at lunch in my house and in company with
Senor CASTELAR, and others, toasted peace,
warmly protesting his admiration and love
for Spain, and expressing the desire to see
us successful in the work of paciication.
Shortly after the election OF President
Mckinley, when 1t was mooted that Mr..
Sherman would be made Secretary OF
State, asked Mr.. Taylor If Spain would
not have reason to fear a man. who, In
speech in the Senate, had displayed such
hatred of Spain.
n kI,.k
for Sherman as a responsible minister,
will change his opinions Spain has moth
ing TO fear in this respect
In conclusion, Senor Salvlnl said: "These
ideas and sentiments differ greatly from
those attributed to him now"

DEMOCRATIC RADICALIsM.
George Fred Williams Talks of the
Significance of the Election.

Boston, Mass, Nov 3.--George Fred
williams, democratic candidate for gov
enor has given out a statement on the
election in which he says In part: my
views upon yesterdays election in Massa-
chusetts are that radicalism under the
democratic name has been strengthened
somewhat in its position and emboldened
in its course, and will continue in the
field a growing quantity to be reckoned
with in the near future. The lines are
obviously hardening as between republican
conservatism and democratic policies OF
change and upheayal, and between the
two no room will evidently be found for
building up leading opposition to repub-
licanism.
What is here said of Massachusetts,
applies with even greater force to the rest
of the country. The result there and in
Massachusetts ought to be de-
cisive Of the insigniffcance of what is call
ed the gold democratic vote. The farce
has ended in Kentucky and 1t ought to be
clear to the little handful In Massachu-
setts that there is no future possibility
either for the maintenance OF an organiza-
tion at the hands of the democratic party
