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


Uncertainty as to the fate of the over
due steamer Cleveland, which sailed from
Sam Francisco Dec. 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 APP
pears that the steamer is a total wreck ON
the west coast OF Vancouver island, in
Barclay sound, twelve miles north of
Cape Beale. The captain and six others
are safe, but twenty-five are still missing
and it is feared they We're drowned.
The steamer broke down during a 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 unmanageable, and
when she finally ran ashore on Barclay
sound, the panic-strickem 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 OH
the coast Of Vancouver island at some re-
mote point. The captain, chief engineer,
purser, 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 SIS, 600, on which there is little
insurance.

SPAIN MAY GIVE UP CUBA.
Suspicion Increases That an Evacua-

Suspicion Increases That an Evacua-
ton Is Actually Intended.
There is suspicion in Washington Off
cial circles, which is gradually becoming
a conviction, that Spain is preparing to
turn the island over 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 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 Banco has revoked the orders OF
VIEWER. under which American crt1zens
were expelled from the island. If Banco
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
tn the island with assurances OF thear
safety as long as they obey the law.
