STEAMER CLEVELAND LOST.
Vessel Is Wrecked ON the Coast of
YancOuVer Island.

Vancouver Island.
Uncertainty as to the fate of the over
due steamer Cleveland, which sailed from
San Francisco Dec. 4 for Seattle. was
cleared away by the receipt Of a telegram
from Captain Hall, master of the ship,
addressed to the owner. From the rather
indefinite details so far received it ap-
pears that the steamer is n total wreck on
the west coast Of Vancouver island, in
Barclay sound, twelve miles north of
Cape Rcalc. The captain and six others
are safe, but twenty-five are still missing
and 1t is feared they were drowned.
The steamer broke down during n Sc
we're storm off the mouth of the Columbia
river. Captain Hall tried to put into
Puget Sound, but the fury of the gale and
rapidity of the current combined to make
the vessel totally unmanageabie, and
when She finally ran ashore on Barclay
sound. the panic-stricken crew rushed for
the boats.
Despite the warning of Captain Hall,
who advised the men to stick to the ship,
she was beached. None of these boats
have as yet been heard from and it is
feared that they are lost. although it is
probable that they may have landed on
the coast of Vancouver island ut some re-
mote point. The captain. chief engineer,
p"fser. three sailors and one fireman, who
remained on board the Cleveland. sue
ceeded in reaching the shore through the
surf safely. The vessel and cargo was
valued at $4,000, on which there is little
insurance.

SPAIN MAY GIVE UP CUBA.

Suspicion Increases That an Evacua.
ton Is Actually Intended.
There is IL suspicion in Washington Off
cial circles, which is gradually becoming
a conviction, that Spain is preparing to
turn the island V to the Cubans. A
correspondent says that there is no doubt
that the Spanish Government and people
are sick of the war. Some of the officials
here suspect that Spain would be glad to
get rid of Cuba, if she could do it grace
fully, and without seeming to acknowl-
edge that she has been whipped.
These views were strengthen by n dis
patch which Senior Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister, received from Captain
General Blanco, containing notice of the
granting of what appears to be an order
of amnesty to all political exiles from
Cuba. This indicates that Captain Cen
eral Blanco has revoked the orders Of
Weyler, under which American citizens
were expelled from the island. If Blanco
intends to adhere honestly to the policy
outlined in his dispatch to the Spanish
minister, everybody expelled from Cuba,
except common criminals, may go back
to the island with assurances of their
safety us long us they obey the law.

FOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
National Board of Trade Warmly Dis.
cusses the Proposition.

cusses the Proposition.
The first matter which came before the
National Board Of Trade ut its session in
Washington Wednesday was q resolution
favoring the establishment of postal saw
ings banks, which was introduced by. the
Chicago Board Of Trade. 1t was stated in
the resolution that the people should be
encouraged to deposit their savings in a
department Of the national government.
The passage of the resolution was advo-
Gated by Mr.. Lyon of Chicago, who said
that the secret of saving lies in beginning.
An objection was that it would concen-
trate money in the cities and would inter-
fere with the business of building associa-
lions, etc. After some discussion the
question was referred TO a committee to
report at the next meeting.
The question Of artificial irrigation was
next discussed, the basis being n resulu-
ton offered by the Pittsburg Chamber of
Commerce, which recommended that Com
gress enact laws to place the supervision
of all irrigation enterprises in the hands
of the United States authorities, where
such work is undertaken upon waterways
affecting Interstate navigation.
Mr.. Pence of Cincinnati presented the
report of the committee on international
waterways. The report urges Congress
to continue such legislation and to make
such appropriations as will provide for
deepening the channel of the Mississippi
river so that Mt least six feet be perma-
nerttly maintained from the mouth of the
Missouri southwark. The report was
adopted.
The afternoon session was chiefly de-
voted to currency discussion. The gist Of
the resolutions adopted was am indorse-
ment of the single gold standard, the grad
ual retirement Of United States notes. the
enlargement of the national bank circula-
ton with a gradual reduction in the tax
on the same. and, finally, the establish
ment of national banks with a capital Of
$4,000 OF over in towns of over 1000
population. A motion to locate a perma-
nent headquarters for the National Board
of Trade in Washington met with general
approval, but was referred to a special
committee for final action. The active
prosecution of the Nicaraguan canal pro-
Ject was heartily Endorsed.

come to Kansas. The Governor was
elected on the ticket which supported
Free-trader Bryan and his un-.Ameri-
car policy of giving the American
market to foreigners. and on a plat
form which denounced the American
system of protection and propfesied
calamity if the great leader of protec-
ton were elected to the Presidency.
But the actual existence of prosper
ity on every hand is Il fact which even
a man elected on Il free trade ticket is
obliged to recognize. Kansas owes
her present prosperity to the victory
Won by protection. For, though the
demand for American cereals in for
cign markets has been a great ele-
ment in the good times which have
como to Kansas, yet it must be re-
membered that v that demand
could not have brought prosperity if
the home demand had been cut off be-
cause the people We're without work
and therefore without wages with
which to buy.
Protection has made factories hum
all over the country and has provided
an army of workers to consume the
Kansas farmers products.
If Kansas likes the good times she
has had this year, let her help to es-
tablish protection for American work
men and 30 create a home market
great enough to take all her products
every year, irrespective of what the
foreign demand may be.
