rs THE WHALING FLEET LOST
NORWEGIAN SAILOR BRINGS NEWS THAT
THE VESSELS AT POINT BARROW
ARE DESTROYED.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
San Francisco May 21.-The startling news
was received here to-day that the fleet OF
whaling vessels stucl, in the Ice a. Point Bar
row. away UP at the north end % Alaska. since
last fall. is totally destroyed. The news was
received here in a letter by way OF Seattle. The
letter. dated April II. came to Hume Brothers
from their agent. Charles Pfar at Karluk.
Pfafr says the news Of the wreck of the fleet
was brought by Norwegian sailor. who crossed
S;eIikoff Straits
Pfaf gives no details. but simply says the
feet is total loss He also reports the loss
Of the sealing schooner Alexandria. which was
carrying supplies to Northern stations FOR the
North American Commercial Company.
Mr. Hume says the meagreness OF the news
given by Pfan was probably due to the fact
that he lust had time 10 catch some departing
steamer The last news from the feet was
brought by Third Mate Walker. Of the steamer
Orca who crossed from Point Barrow TO the
Mackenzie River. and then struck down through
the interior to Edmonton, making n terrible trip
Of thousands OF miles over ice and snow, and
undergoing great suffering.
Walker brought news UP 20 November
1891, when he left lS6 whaers campcd nea
Point Barrow. The steamer Orca had been
crushed IN the ice and the freeman burned so
that the fleet remaining in the Ice was COM
posed Of the steamers Belvidere and Fearless.
the steam tender JEANNE the schooner Rosario
and the bark Wanderer. All these vesaels were
fest in the ice. but Walker declared there
should be no difficulty IN their getting out as
soon as the ice broke up IN the Spring.
Mr.. Hume thinks that the ice must have
broken Up suddenly. and great foes have
crushed the imprisoned vessels before they
could reach clear water. This disaster places
iSG men IN great pearl for II they did not save
tho stores from the ships they may run out Of
supplies before the relief expedition. under
Lieutenant Jarvis, now on its way from st.
Mchaeis, can reach them.

APPROVES M'KlNLEY'S CAUTION
But ThurstOn says it Has Gone Quite
Far Enough.

Chicago. March Ex-senator John NJ.
Thurston of Nebraska stopped a few
hours in Chicago, on his way back to
Washington. In an interview the sena-
tor said:
Senator Proctor's speech in the senate
was so able statement of what we both
saw in Cuba that / can hardly say a great
deal in addition. He told nothing but the
bare truth. The condition OF affairs.
which he reported. and which also saw,
certainly demands that the Republican
party carry out the promise it made in
its platform, which declared in favor Of
the intervention FOR the down-trOdden
people Of the distressed island.
although I quite approve Of the presi-
dents delay thus far. the time has now
come when we should intervene. in behalf
of humanity. We are fairly well prepared
now 10 protect ourselves in case hostli-
ties should follow such action. and the
government should delay no longer. Ev-
cry hour Of waiting means death, suffer
ing and distress in Cuba
ITO these poor people there can come
no relief save by intervention on the part
Of the United States. Let Us act. and Gu
ba Will take care Of herself. Free the IS
land and let the people form their own
government.
The sentiment OF intervention in the
United States is almost unanimous"

WOOL MARKET,

Boston. March 23.-The American Wool
andJ Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
OF the wool market:
The volume OF sales has been trifle
heavier than the week previous. Taking
the market as a whole. dUller situation
can hardly beimagined. The Cuban crisis
has put an end to all activity. The man
ufacturers do not want wool, except oc
casionally small lots for the purpose OF
piecing out their present holdings. The
principal factors which are influencing
the marke: at present may perhaps be
reduced to three First. Of course, is
the war scare. A second and very impor-
tant factor is the presence here stu OF
a considerable amount Of cheap last
years wool. Until this is all cleaned up
there can be no guarantee that prices will
be fully maintained A bird factor is
cancellation Of orCis for finished product.
The extent OF this evil Will perhaps be
appreciated when we state that one Mill
had one order for $40 coo canceJIed. All
that can be said about prices is that there
is not enough OF a market 10 make pri-
ces. Quotations are nominally IN
changed. but a market so dull as the
present is bound 10 sag OF lis own weight.
Concessions are made and sporadic cases
OF unusually low quotations are encoun-
tered AicSt CeaLe4S II carpet NooiS Ia NS
done no business 20 speak of. but in GER
tain quarters there have been large sales.
Prizes are as Well maintained on carpet
woods as on anything in the list. The
sales Of the week in Boston amount 10
ST, GO pounds domestic and 1880 pounds
foreign. making a total Of / oSe. 900 pounds.
against a total OF 1Is7 600 pounds for the
previous week. and q total Of L. 67s 01o
pounds for the previous week. and a total
