THE EDGAR HANSON ASHORE.
Three Masted Schooner Goes on Dread
 Ledge off Nahant.

Swampmscott, Mass, Nov. 3o.-The three masted schooner Edgar Hanson, coal laden, bound for Portsmouth, N. H., went ashore on Dread Ledge, off Nahant, this afternoon. The vessel was discovered blowing her horns for help in Nahant bay. A volunteer life saving crew responded to her signals and it was learned that the vessel which put into Hyannis during the storm and which started again for her destination on Monday morning had lost her bearings. She apparently was all right save having undergone se- were battering in the storm. She de- termined to anchor where she was un- til morning and then proceeded to her destination. An hour later it was found that she was drifting, and before help could reach her she brought up on the ledge. She lies in a dangerous position and if the wind changes she is liable to be battered to pieces on the rocks. The Swampscott live savers took off her crew of six men.

PLEA FOR NAyAL PERSONNEL B1Ln
by Rooscvelt-Steps to End
 Friction Between Officers.

New York, Nov. 30.-Governor- elect Roosevelt has submitted strong plea for the naval personnel bill. MT. Roosevelt describes the state of friction between the line officers and the en- gineers which he found existing after he became assistant secretary of the navy and the steps taken to devise means for ending that friction. The principle adopted by the board as a basis for measure was that both branches of the service should be amal- gamated so that the American naval officer hereafter shall be essentially a fighting engineer. Governor Roosevelt says that this change is proposed sim ply in order that the officer may fit the work because the work itself has rad ically changed since the present organ izatlon of the navy was devised. The advent of the steam engine, with the consequent gradual growth of machin- cry on board ship is the cause of the change.
 y the duties of the line officer have changed until he has become in fact, although not in name, an engineer. Should the measure in question become law the work of the navy department, Colonel Roosevelt is assured, in de- tailing officers for duty, will be vastly simpler than it has been in the past be- cause every officer of the new line will be capable of performing any of the duties which involve the management of large bodies of men or the control of machinery. He expresses the con- viction that if the reorganization is car- ried out it will give us a navy whose any other country.
 He says that the amounts paid by the United States government to the officers of the navy are less than those paid to corresponding ranks in the army and that the new bill proposes to correct ernor Roosevelt, to spend millions in building perfect fighting machinery, unless we make the personnel which is to handle these machines equally per- feet. We have an excellent navy now but we cannot afford to relax our ef- forts to make it better still Next time, we may have to face some eriemy far more formidable than Spain. In my judgment the personnel bill will mark edly increase the efficiency of our al- ready efficient officers

IN EIGHTEEN MIL TAX.
Will Probably be Recommended by
 Board of Finance.

The board of finance has now near ly finished going over the city esti- mates, and will in few days make up the amount of the appropriations which will be recommended to the court of common council next Monday night. few finishing touches are yet to be given by the board of finance. but at the close of he session last night it was stated that the board would prob- ably recommend that an IS mill tax be levied. The rate for 1898 was 21 mills, mot including a mill tax laid by the district for the period from July IA to December 91, 1897. This rate of Fl mills was for thirteen months the pro- vision for this extra month being made necessary because of the fact that un- der the old charter the city year be- gan on December 1 and a tax for the year December 1, 1896, to December l, 1897, was laid. Under the new charter the city year begins on January l, and the expenses for the month of De- cember, 1897, were therefore unprovid- ed for making it necessary to lay tax for thirteen months

Another Sampson Report.

Washington, Nov 50-The navy de- partment to-day made public a report from Admiral Sampson covering the operations of the United States block ading fleet off Santiago after the de- struction of Cervera's squadron. The report begins with dispatch dated the flagship New York, July 15, and winds up with one from the same flagship dated Guantanamo August 4. In the first report Admiral Sampson tells of the demonstration made against Aguores by the Michigan troops under Duffield, the point of which was that, as soon as the ships took part in the fight the Spaniards disappeared. He says that the bombardment of Santiago on the second of July served no par ticular end because Shafter's attack had been postponed. He quotes dis patches from himself to Shafter stS ting that it was impossible to force an en- trance to the harbor until the mines had been removed and that work could be accomplished only after the troops had taken the forts. Shafter replied that he could not tell when he could take the batteries. If they were as diff ficult as those against which he was pitted it would take some time and great loss of life.

Dimensions of Revolution,

Washington, Nov. 30.-The uprising in Salvador has reached the dimensions of a revolution in the Judgment of officials and the diplomats familiar with affairs in that quarter. President Gutierrez has given away to General I2egaladu, who has formed a provisional government. The changes are construed by some of them as a death blow to the newly formed republic known os the United States of Central America composed of Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, one of whose main purposes was to pro- vide joint military force for common defence against uprisngs but other diplomats take the reverse view.
 A gentleman, prominent in Nicaragua official life, who is in this city said to- day that the deposition of President Gutierrez in favor of Regalado, seen cd to be established beyond doubt. Much curiosity is aroused as to the where abouts of former President Gutierrez as the reports do not say what became of him. One of the officials believes that he has been allowed to escape Among the Costa Ricans who are here tie out come of the Salyadorean trouble is talk en as another reason why Costa Rica should not join the Central American union. President Iglasias has regarded the union as experimental. Senor Cor req, charge d'affaires of the union, has received little or no information regard ing the trouble.

4 SCATHTNG CRITICISM.
Hannis Taylor Viciously Attacks Amer-
 tcan HarshMess Toward Spain.

New York, Nov. 30.-Ihe Hon. Hannis Taylor. late American minister to Spain, has written scatching criti- cism of the work of the American peace commission. MT. Taylor contends that fin the negotiations with Spain respect ing Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pines, the members of the commission should have been guided by the prece- dent adopted by this country in it's dealings with Mexico after the victori- o,,s issue of the Mexican war. Then, he says, we refused, as Mexico lay helpless at our feet, to take from her a single square mile of territory by right of conquest
 MT. Taylor contends that we owe to Spain all the consideration and justice that can be due the weak from the strong and especially as Spain has been an old and a good friend with whom we had never broken off dlplo- matic relations. It is true, he says, that Spain has been reduced in strength through the inherent vices and weak ness of her colonial system but the present generation of Spaniards are not responsible for that which came to them through inheritance. Ihe Spanlsh nation, as a whole, is generous, brave and sympathetic. Only such nation could have produced such high thoughted and honorable men as Cas- telar. Canovas, Sagasta, the Duke of Tetuan. Moret, Montero Rios and the Duke of Almodevar. The arrangement which has been concluded by the Amer ican commission, MT. Taylor character izes as a vast ravishment. We have, he says, refused arbitration, we have summarily demanded the surrender of the entire Philippine archipelago, and, as a salve to Spain, we have rendered in mitigation, twenty million dollars.
 Tn order to prevent all outside inter ference we have declared for the open door to trade, so as to hold at our side EngIand, with whose aid we could sub feet Spain, despite interference of any continental nation, to any injustice we might see fit to put upon her Upon what grounds can we justify our ,course in the eyes of humanity? No one. he continues, seems to be inter-

She bore her long illness of about two years with sweet patience and resignation. Her death is great bereavement to many. She was very kind to the needy and unfortunate and her heart was ever open to the appeals of the suffering. She passed away last evening at half past five o'clock ill the seventy-sixth year of her age. During considerable part of her illness she was apparently unconscious of passing events. She leaves to deeply mourn her death and recall the sweetness of her quiet life and her devotion to her loved ones, her husband, eX-Gov. Ingersoll, and four children-MisS Justine Inger- soil, Fannie Gregory Ingersoll, Mrs. Harry T. Cause of Wilmington, Del, and Mrs George G.

THE LOSS OF THE PORTLAND.
It Eclipses All Wreclts oia the "Dreaded Ocean Graveyard,

Provincetown, Mass, Nov. 30.-In the treacherous waters which continually threaten the very existence of Cape Cod and which cover the most dreaded ocean graveyard on the entire Atlantic coast, during the most terrible moments of the storm, which is beyond parallel In the history of New Englands mari time interests, on Sunday occurred a disaster frightful beyond description The steamer Portland, plying nightly between Boston and Portland, was the ill-fated vessel and the sea alone knows how many went to their doom. As the surges roll in from the broad Att lantic they bring the evidences of the tribute demanded by the furies Ground into fragments were the timbers of the strong craft, thirty feet being the larg- est piece cast ashore, while the bodies of the greater number of the victims are likely to be disintegrated by the forces of the waves and few, if any others, in addition to the sixteen aI- ready, will be secured.
 The laundering of the Portland, for it seems impossible that she struck on the wicked Peaked Hill bars eclipsed two other fearful wrecks on this coast, the steamer City of Columbus on Devils Bridge, in 1884, when one hundred lives were lost, and the ship Jason in 1893 when twenty-nine persons were swept away. For two days Cape Cod was iso- lated from the outside world and to- day when the railroad was opened the devastation which followed the storm became fully known. Besides the Portland victims at least twenty lives were lost in a host of other craft, chief of which was the big schooner King Philip.
 The cause of the Portlands fate aside from the force of the elements is a mystery which will never be probed Every mariner has a theory and all agree that when buffeted by the oncom- ing storm off Cape Ann the big side wheeler was disabled and before the blast was driven over forty miles to leeward, the waves slowly demolishing the upper structure, until the hull alone remained and this, finally, sank beneath the surface. The vessel disappeared some distance off shore, for the strong current is now carrying wreckage and bodies southward, and much of it may be found on Nantucket Shoals. To- day another fierce northeaster set in and small hope to scores of broken hearted relatives and friends of the victims that ther bodies will be found on the shores. c. F. Williams, agent of the Portland line, in an interview on the loss of the steamer, said: q am sure that the Portland foundered at sea. There will not be a single sur viyor, I am sure. Where or how the wreck occurred I do not think will ever be known

READY FOR CARLIST RISING
STATElTENT OF GENERAL CORREI,
 SPANISH MINISTER OF VAR.
Declares That Government Has I4O. .OOO Troops in Readiness I'm the Event of a Revolution and Win Soon Have 2OO,- Strong Appeal to the Army--The Pope's Concern.

London Dec. 1.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Mail says: Lieu tenant General Correa, minister of war, declares that the government has 14O,OO0 troops in readiness to take the field in the event of a Carlist rising and will soon have 100000 available. He says, however, he does not believe that the Carlists intend to move yet. Four hundred guns, which were being smuggled, have been seized in a Bas- que village. Don Carlos in his forth coming manifesto, will make strong appeal to the army. The Carlists ds- agree among themselves as to the ad- visibility of an immediate movement. The military element is impatient but the civilians urge the uselessness of an attempt to rise unless the Carlists are assured of the help of the army
 The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The pope has been so much impressed by the alarm expressed by the papal nuncio at Madrid at the possibility of civil war that with the consent of the queen regent and with view of avoiding bloodshed he has opened negotiations with Don Carlos. proposing that Don Jaime, the pre- tenders son, should marry Princess Mary of Asturias."
 The Madrid correspondent of the Standard, whose dispatch is forwarded from the frontier, says: The opposition papers accuse the government and the Spanish peace commissioners of a lack of skill and energy in protecting Span- ish treaties. They demand the imme- diate convocation of the cortes and the resumption of the constitutional guar antees so that public opinion can de- clare for a new and competent minis try to undertake the reorganization of the country and it's finances.

ested now in the great humanitarian end, to work out which we went into the war, professedly. The only ques- tion now dominant are those involving the annexation to the United States of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, without the assumption of any obliga- tions and without the payment of any substantial compensation. The war has cost us directly about one hundred and sixty-five million dollars and as compensation for that outlay we have appropriated Porto Rico, which can hardly be valued at much less than double that amount. It is difficult to understand why in dealing. with Cuba and the Philippines we should have been unwilling to recognize those reas- enable and natural equities which fol- low acquired territory.
