of the owners of the several American
steamship lines that ply between San

Angeles men three months ago for a

and dangers encountered.
The vessel, which was advertised as
a new one, was old and leaky, and dur
ing a trip of twenty-seven days two
terrible storms were encountered. The
men were constantly at the pumps, and
several times were obliged to take to
the rigging when great seas washed
over her.
Captain Hardy was in his cabin blub-

them when they landed. The country
is very fertile and the Indians show

speciaI Dlspatch to The can.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
BUDAPEST, Dec. 22.-In the lower
house of the Hungarian Parliament
to-day Baron Banffy, the Premier,
speaking of the bill providing for a
provisional prolOngatiOn of the Aus
gleich, declared at the outset that he
could not accept the resolution of
Francis Kossuth, demanding the es-
tablishment of an Independent Hun
garian customs regime by January /,
1898, but continued the Premier, he
would accept a motion to publish as
soon as possible the data necessary for
the establishment of such a regime, or
for the conclusion of a commercial
treaty with Austria and the draft of
a customs tariff, and to arrange to
ascertain the views of business men.
He pointed out that Hungary had the
right to establish an independent GUS
toms Immediately if it were in her in
terest to do so, but he considered the
compromise arrangement with Aus
tria more advantageous, if 1T could be
arranged with due regard to Hun
garys interest. That, however, was
doubtful The Government, neverthe-
less, the Premier continued, desired to
give Austria time to recover herself
and did not wish to create confusion,
the harmful consequences of which
were incalculable. The present bill
did not infringe upon Hungary's s
rights and interests, and, he added,
the Government would act vigorously
against attempts similar to those of
the Reichsrath to prevent its becom-
ing law.
This remark caused an uproar, after
which the Premier concluded with ap-
pealing to the House not to create diff
ficulties, as Hungary's interest, he
pointed out, far from requiring her to
loosen her relationship with Austria,
required that her ties with the latter
country should be made closer and
stronger.
This statement was greeted with
applause from the Rightists. but it
caused an uproar among the Leftists

From Giving Up the Fight
Against Death.
CREW REACHES VICTORIA.
Brought Back by the Gutter Quadra
and Cared for in the North
ern City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, Dec. 22.-The cutter
Quadra arrived this afternoon from the
wreck of the Cleveland, having on
board the survivors who were in too
bad a condition to remain. Their
names are: S. B. Durfee first mate;
Robert DIETRICH, passenger; O'Neil,
first assistant engineer; David Cowley,
fireman; Robert Isbister, carpenter,
and Peter Marin, Alfred Falkner and
John Coster sailors. All are still suf-
fering from the effects of exposure and
privatiOn, but are rapidly improving.
They were taken Immediately to the
Marine Hospital. On Sunday DR.. Wat
son of Alberni was taken on board,
and ever since he has given his atten-
ton to the sufferers and started them
on the road to rapid recovery.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the men for the courage and fortitude
with which they withstood their pri-
vations or to the officers for their
Self-Sacrifice and cool-headedness, es-
pecially First Mate Durfee, who was
in charge of the boat which was for
five and a half days at sea- and who
by his courage and thoughtfulness
brought his men out alive. One man
at least-Assistant Engineer O'Neil-
owes his life directly to Mate Durfee.
O'Neil is an old man, and the mate
watched over him as he would over
Child, forced him to eat, and, when ne
became discouraged and gave up,
would not allow him to lie down TO
die, but aroused him and forced him
to move about. When they were for
three days on the deserted coast he
took care of O'Neil, although suffering
himself, and kept the best of their
scanty provisions for the old man.
The officers and crew of the Quadra
deserve special praise for the care
they took of the suffering passengers.
Nothing in their power was left un-
done.
James Tyson of San Francisco, man.
aging owner of the Cleveland, and
Captain Metcalf and D. Cartmel,
agent for Lloyds, arrived at the
wreck on Tuesday, and, after a care
full investigation, declared them
selves convinced that the ship could
be floated without great loss. Mr.. Ty-
son was especially much pleased with
the care which had been shown the
suffering members of the crew.
OF those who arrived on the Quadra
to-day Engineer f. Thomas will leave
for Seattle in the morning and Peter
Marin and John Coster will go to San
Francisco by the first boat. They are
looked after here by the American
consulate, which was represented on
the Quadra by the Vice Consul, and
he has left nothing undone to help
the distressed American seamen.
