AID FOR india.
Uncle Sam Will Ask England TO AS
sist in Converting the Food.

Uncle Sam Will Ask England TO AS
sist in Conveying the Food
New York, May 14-No arrangements
have as yet been made for forwarding
the fifteen thousand tons of corn stor-
ed in Brooklyn ware houses to the
plague stricken districts of India. 1t
is a mistake to suppose that this is q
matter which rests with custom house
authorities. Six weeks ago Congress
authorized the secretary of the navy
to charter a steamship of American
registry to convey the contributions OF
food stuffs to India. The contributions
comprise chiefly wheat, buckWheat,
barley and rye, all of which was sold
and with the proceeds corn was
bought. When Congress gave author
itv to hire a vessel the contributions
amounted to 1000 tons.
d. w. Hawthorne, the deputy collec-
tor in charge of the marine division
of the custom house, reported to the
secretary of the navy that vessel
coild be procured to carry the grain
| for $40 a ton. The rapid accumulation
of grain made it necessary to look FOL
a larger vessel but none could be
| found, There is no American vesse
| available that will hold $4,000 tons
| The only vessel that will hold so larg'
a cargo is the acknowledgements I'm
er Pennsylvania. The thing to be doh'
apparently, as the secretary OF the ma
| Wy is not empowered to engage mor'
than one vessel, is to see If the Brit
ish authorities will not provide yes
sci to take the larger part OF the corn
while an American vessel takes the re
| mainder.

WENT DOWN IN LAKE ERIE
BIG STEAMER IDAHO HELPLESS
IN a GALE.
Twenty-one OF Her Crew Left Buff

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 6.-The steamer

fathoms Of water at 4:30 this morning,
off Long Point, on Lake Erie This
point juts out into the lake from the
Canadian shore, about IS miles west of
Buffalo, ard its vicinity has been the
scene of many disasters.
The Idaho. commanded by Captain
William Gillies Of Buffalo, and having
en- board a crew of 81, all told left Buff
falo Friday afternoon, laden with pack
age freight for Milwaukee. A strong
southwest gale was blowing at the tine,
and the weather office had storm sig
rals up Cor the lake.
Captain Gillies thought he could
weather tie gale. and headed straight
up the lake. Shortly after passing
Long Point he discovered his mistake,
| and tried to run for shelter. The sea
was running very high at the time, and
on turning the Idaho shipped a big sea,
which auenched the fires of the en-
gines, and the boat was helpless in the
! trough Of the sea. The captain and
crew were lowering the lifeboat when
the steamer gave a lurch and went
! down on her side, stern first. Two of
| the crew, deck mana. named William
! Gill, of Rochester, and the second mate
name unknown, managed to reach the
! top of a single spar that stood above

were discovered by the outlook on the

efforts of those on board the Mariposa

/ greatest peril. The sea was running
very high, and life boats could not be
/ launched. Lines were thrown to the
| two men, but their arms and legs had
stiffened around the spar, and they
could do nothing to help themselves.
| The Mariposa ran as close to the spar
as possible and efforts were made to
grasp the men while passing. This was
repeated several times and with sue
cess at last.
The two survivors were brought to
| Buffalo, arriving here shortly before
midnight. Both were in an exhausted
state and unable to give a connected
story of the wreck.

De Guerville had explained the Cuban

any more than the bird can live with

''Do you mean TO say that If today
you were governing Spain. you would
give Cuba its liberty?" was asked.
Yes: but by liberty l mean an alb

as Canada or Australia
But suppose the Cubans refuse that
autonomy and keep on fighting for alb
solute independence, What would you
do?"
"Oh, then fight; fight to the bitter
