POINT BARROW SUPPLIES
Will Garry Whalers Safely Through
the Season

SAN FRANCISCO, April H.-Letters
have been received here from Point Bar
row, where 300 ice bound whalers. who
sailed from this port about year ago, are
safely awaiting the return of the sea-
son when the Arctic seas will open for
navigation. No fear is expressed that
there will be any loss of life on account
of scarcity of food. In fact the timely
precautions that were taken by Charles
Brewer, agent for H. Liebes & Co. in lay
ing in a big supply Of provisions at Point
Barrow have precluded the possibility Of
any suffering on the part Of the whalers.
The news is confirmed that the Bessie
Freeman was totally destroyed by fire
through the carlessness of some Esqui-
maux, and that the Orca was crushed in
the ice and finally sunk. OF the other
whalers held in the ice pack. the Belvedere
is said to be safe, but what fortune may
oyertake the JEANNE, Newport. Fearless,
Rosario and the bark Wanderer cannot be
told until the ice begins to move. A few
men of each crew are standing guard over
the vessels where they are held prisoners
in the ice. The rest have taken refuge at
the Point Barrow station, where they are
ouartered in the houses of the fur COM
pany, the Esquimaux who formerly oc-
cupied these buildings having been given
guns and ammunition and sent to hunt
deer in the interior.
Fifth Mate Walker, of the Orca, has
reached Saddle Lake on his way to this
city. He telegraphed that the vessels now
in the ice will get out safely next spring.

TWO SICK SAILORS
All That Remain Of the Crew of the
Marlborough

NEW YORK, April 12.-The North Ger
man Lloyds steamer Saale, which arrived
today from Genoa reports that on Sunday
last she picked up life boat containing
two men of the crew of the ship Marl-
borough of Windsor, N. S., who are prob
ably all that survive of the ships crew Of
fourteen.
The Marlborough sailed from st. John.
N. S., March 18th, for Shearness, with
cargo of deals. On April 4th, during the
height of a gale, the ship went to pieces.
The crew attempted to launch the life
boat, but it was dashed to pieces before it
reached the water. There was one other
boat. The men went to work making life
RATS from the cargo of deals, and nine of
them left the side of the water-logged ves-
sci. Capt Cochran and four men were the
last to leave in the remaining boat. Short
ly after the life boat lost sight Of the re-
mainder of the crew. The little crew suf-
fered fearfully from thirst and later from
hunger. On April 7th Capt. Cochran died
from exhaustion and exposure. The fol-
lowing day another occupant of the boat
died, and on Easter morning another of
the crew. There were then left in the boat
Chief Officer George v. Masters and Sea-
man James Fannon. Both were well-nigh
worn out from hunger and thirst.

LONDON. April 12.-According to a

the pretender of the Spanish throne, has
declared his intention to "hold aloof from

President Is that It did not say anything
about independence. He refers to these
words near the end Of the message: "And
to secure in the island the establishment
of a stable government capable of main
taininr order and observing its interna-
tional obligations"
The Senator added that q stable gov
ernment capable Of observing its inter
national obligations must be Independent.
IF II was not an independent government
Il would have no international obliga-
tions. The same Senator insisted that this
mart of the message meant independence,
hut the President was writing document
that meant history and precedent and he
had to confine himself to diplomatic lam
guage.
Dangerously Deferred
BERLIN, April 12-The National Eel
tung today sums up what 1t alleges to be
the total results of the negotiations of the
last few days, saying:
Spain has given proof Of her love for
peace by proclaiming an armistice. Presi-
dent Mckinley has also placed on record
his love for peace by avoiding submitting
a direct ultimatum or impossible demands.
The gain thereby Is temporary. The post
ponement of decision in President Nc
Kinley's message is. in any case. tranquil
izing, inasmuch as he practically washes
his hands of the responsibility for war or
peace, which is transferred to Congress.
The Vossische Zeitung says: "The i'm
mediate danger of war has been deferred
for some days but there is question of its
complete avoidance"
The Berliner Post remarks: The
American government has now officially
taken up its position on the Cuban ques-
ton. In Madrid a skillful attempt had
been previously made to avoid sharpening
the conflict by almost exceeding the limit
of concession, namely by ordering an
armistice. Peace. however. cannot be re-
garded as assured until both sides possess
the necessary circumspection and power
to forcibly suppress an ebullition Of popu-
lar passion should 1t occur"
Not Well Received
LONDON, April 12.-According to spe-
cial dispatch from Berlin the impression
created at the German capital by President
Mckinley's message to Congress was not
very favorable. Its tone, the dispatch con-
tinues, is considered dilatory and as not
promising peace. The politicians at Berlin
II appears, express opinion that If the
President really had peaceable intentions
he would have acknowledged Spain's con-
cession of an armistice.
