Pacific Coast Storm

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Nov 81
During heavy storm that prevailed in the
harbor last night the steamer Wildwood
sunk while lying at her dock. A large hole
was made in her hull by drifting log. A
man who was asleep on board was saved
from drowning by the ships cat, which
awakened him by scratching his face just
as the steamer was going down.
The steamer City of Topeka arrived at
Seattle from Alaska five days overdue The
delay was caused by rough weather. Capt
Thomas said; 'It was the toughest have
experienced during my fifteen years run on
the Alaska route."

Coasters Ashore

i, BOSTON, Nov. 2S.-A dozen or more
coasting vessels were driven ashore in Bos
ton harbor during the blizzard of last might
and this morning and the great ocean steam
er Ohio, of the Wilson line, was torn from
her moorings and driven high and dry on
Spectacle island. Schooners and Goa
barges with two anchors out and every
reason to expect safe weathering of the
gale, were dragged from their moorings and
hurled against pier heads, dashed on island:
and rocks or sunk outright.
Fortunately the greater portion of the
coasting fleet was securely tied up at hte
wharves. The schooners and barges an
chored in the lower bay bore the brunt Of
the storm.
Anchored at quarantine was the Wilson
liner Ohio, great four-masted cargo boat
just in from Hull, England. She had only
a small cargo on board, and her sides being
high out of the water, offered large surface
to the wind. The swift tide prevented the
vessel from pointing her nose into the wind
and after fierce battle for hours, her
cables gradually gave way, and she ran upon
the beach of Spectacle island, where she
now lies high and dry.
AS the tide was very high when the Ohio
went ashore, the work of hauling her off is
likely to be difficult. The Ohio lies about
half mile from the place of the Venetian
wreck. Ashore not far from the Ohio is
the schooner c. A. White from Baltimore,
but she will probably float. Just above
Spectacle island is Thompson's island, and
on the beach are three coast lumbermen,
the Watchman, Fred F. Emerson, Seraph-
inc, British, and vessel believed to be the
Virginia. 1t is likely that they will be
hauled off without serious damage. The
schooners John S. Ames and Lizzie Dias are
also ashore at Fort Warren.
So far as known there were no lives lost
from any of the above schooners, although
it is said two men were washed overheard
from the Virginia. No effort was made
this afternoon to reach two unknown
schooner sashore at Moorhead or further
up Quincy bay on the fats off the Atlantic
Further out in the bay the casualties be-
gan with the sinking of at least one, if not
two, coal barges and the loss of the crew
from each. The tug Cumberland came in
earlier last evening with two barges, and one
of them, belonging to the Consolidated
Coal company, broke away from the tug,
and striking Hunts ledge, sunk with all
four of her crew. Another barge blowing
into the Staple Coal company's wharf is re-
ported to have sunk and her crew of four
men lost.
The schooner A. E. Babcock, from Phila-
delphia, is reported to have foundered with
her crew of seven men outside of Boston
light.
The other coal barges are ashore at Gauo-
pes islands, but it is likely that the crew
OF neither has been lost, as the vessels ap-
pear to be in a comparatively safe place.
All OF the captains of the fleet who were
lucky enough to round the cape and make
the harbor say the storm was the worst they
ever experienced in Massachusetts, bay. The
loss by the storm in and about the city will
amount to $4,000.

At noon today the regular New York ex-
press from Chicago left Springfield for this
city. followed a short time later by the
morning express from the west, and barring
q slight delay from wreck at East Brook
field, came through to this city all right.
Two men lost their lives in the storm at
Revere. One was Michael Lee, and the other
an unknown negro. Both were drowned
on Ocean nvenue, while trying to cross that
thoroughfare, through which the tide was
flowing.
With exception of the Nantaasket chutes
and the main building of the Hotel Nan
tasket, there is not structure left standing
in Nantasket beach between Hull and the
Ocean View house. Hotels, dance halls,
bath houses and other structures succumbed
to the high wind and tidal wave of the

The property, exclusive of the Hotel Nam

small vessels, took upa position on

The Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon,
was anchored toward Punta Gorda and
could be seen from the open sea.
The fire Of the American feet was
answered by the Moro, Socapa and
Punta Gorda batteries, and by the
cruiser Cristobal Colon.
The bombardment lasted 90 minutes,

LONDON, June l.-The news of the
fighting at Santiago dc Cuba has re.
vived the dwindling interest in the
war. It is suggested that the Ameri.
cans may be bombarding the forts in
order to cover the laying Of mines or
the sinking Of hulks to block the
channel. ..
Credence is given the report that Ad.
miral Cervera tried to run the blockade
before the arrival Of General Skaters
expedition. 1t Is not believed that
Commodore Schley would venture to
initiate Dewey's feat at Manila.
Everything, so far as Spain is con.
cerned, is now held to depend on Ad.
miral Camara's movements, and un.
less, as is unlikely, he is able to display
mastery skill, it is evident that the
bold strategy Of the Spaniards will only
result in the destruction of their feet
in detail.

For days it has been plain that the

intention Of holding them for time at
least. but up to the present there has
been no statement. official or unoffi cial,

pose of the war department to send
10000 men to Cuba, 10000 to start
at once and the remainder just
as soon as they can be made
ready for departure. Then there was
an estimate for establishing electrical
communications in connection with
the army ''in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines" " showing for the first time
officially an implied intention on the
part Of the government to land troops
in Porto Rico. OF course all these
moves have been anticipated by the
press, nevertheless strong element Of
doubt existed and therefore an official
statement Of the governments pur.
poses, made even in this indirect fash.
