the company are unknown.
The Triton struck the rock during a
heavy rainstorm. Her cargo shifted and
hfteen minutes later she sank in 40 faith

A scene of terrible confusion and panic
eilsued. AS soon as the passengers real

struggle they rushed for the boats. The
first boat that was lowered capsized i'm
mediately, and all of its occupants were
drowned in the whrling waters. The
next was struck by an enormous wave
and turned over, drowning twenty, but
the frail craft righted again and eight who

sank: An army captain, his wife and
daughter went down together locked in

1--WE are returning to the policy of cheat

Commenting upon cable dispatches from
New York City. which assert that Consul
General Lee will soon come tn Cuba with
Il special mission to obtain the views of
the insurgents regarding autonomy and to
put stop to the enlistment of expeditions
in case the insurgents should not accept
autonomy, La Lucha says:
These reports are not creditahlc. as Mr..
Cleveland and President Mckinley have
both explained that under the American
constitution and laws the expeditions can
not he stopped. Therefore, if it he true
that President Mckinley can stop cXpcdi-
tons by applying laws which have not
been applied mp to date. the responsibility
of the Cleveland and Mckinley admins
trations will he great and their had faith
manifest. If the Spanish minister at
Washington could have found in the
American constitution and laws means to
check the expeditions. he would have de-
mandcd their application. Therefore, the
policy of the American president, as soon
as he ascertains the feelings of the insur-
gents in the matter. should be ignored by
the Spanish.
Besides. should II he true that Gen.
Lee is coming with this special mission it
would signify SPANS impotence, mas
much as in affairs of her own she admits
the intervention of foreign consul whose
opinion is we'll known to be more favora-
BILE to the insurgents than to the Span
iards. We neither deny nor affirm that
