DEATH ON A STEAMER.
Six People Killed and Eleven Injured Near
Stockton, California.


Stockton, CAL, Nov, 2s-The most
disastrous accident in the history of
Stockton occurred near Fourteen Mile
Slough, when part of one of the boil.
ers of the river steamer 7. c. Walker
was blown out, killing six and danger
ously wounding eleven persons, while
probably fifteen or twenty others were
more or less badly hurt. The T. c.
Walker is owned by the California
Navigation & Improvement company,
and ran between San Francisco and
Stockton.
The majority of the passengers were
In bed when the explosion occurred,
and were awakened by the report,
which was as loud as cannon's roar.
People rushed from their rooms in their
night clothes, and found the whole
forward portion of the steamers upper
works blown away. The electric lights
had been put out, and the escaping
steam enveloped the front portion OF
the boat until it was impossible to see
! how much of the boat had been car.
ried away
Captain John Tulan was blown from
his bed against the door of his state
room, receiving injuries which pre-.
vented him from moving, and he was
literally roasted to death where he lay.
Chief Engineer Henry and his wife
were blown through the roof and died
a short time afterward, both suffering
horribly w. A. Blunt, a passenger,
was instantly killed, while Jerry Daily,
the fireman, was so severely scalded by
steam that he died few hours later.
Underneath the lower deck, where the
deck hands slept, groans and screams
were heartrending. The unfortunate
imprisoned men received the full effect
of the steam as 1t came from the boil
ers Eight of them were almost roasted
alive Those who were able made
their way to the deck as best they
could, while the more seriously in
iured were unable to get out Tht
arms and faces of those near the mair
entrance were frightfully scalded.
What caused the explosion will prob
ably never be known. The steam
drum burst with terrible violence. i

other way the loss of life would b
much greater.

PLANS OF DON CARLOS.
Win Take the Field in Spain Soon rs the
Treaty of Peace Is Signed.

London, Nov. 29.-An English Car
list positively asserts that Don Carlos
army will take the field in Spain soon
after the treaty is signed. He declares
that loan has been fully financed,
and that it is divided equally between
France and England, and he adds that
after the English capitalists were
shown the evidences on which Don
Carlos chances of success are based,
they offered several times the amount
asked. The English Carlists assert
that much more money would have
been secured had it not been for the
fact that Don Carlos stipulates that
there should be no assistance from
Jews, as he is apprehensiye of their OBJ
tanning financial control of the mon
archy.
Continuing, it is asserted that the
Spanish government has known for
some time that Don Carlos possessed
an army, organized into battalions and
batteries, officered and largely armed,
but the Spanish ministers counted on
his failure to secure funds. Therefore
the Spanish government is said to be
panic-strilzen, and to be endeayoring
to make the spaniards believe that
Great Britain has agreed to finance
Don Carlos, and that he, in return, has
undertaken to cede the Canary islands
to Great Britain in the event of sue

rs FRANCES FRIEND.
ITALY JOINS THE FRANCO-RUS-
SIAN COMBINE.
Commercial Treaty Concluded which
Promises to Shift the balance of
Power in Europe Frances Do
feat in Egypt Caused her
to Look for Allies.

London, Nov. 27.-France and Italy,
after decade of tariff warfare, have
surprised their friends and enemies by
concluding a commercial treaty, which
promises to shift the balance of power
in Europe But for the friendship of
the United States, which emboldens
Great Britain to comparative indiffer-
enee regarding continental combina-
tions, Great Britain would be alarmed
at this prospect of Italy deserting the
triple alliance and adding her formid-
able navy to the Franco Russian com
pact, which is held to be the newt
estranged nations. The critics here re-
gard the treaty as sequel to the Fa-
shoda incident. Frances defeat in
Egypt opened her eyes to the necessity
of increasing the number of her
friends Therefore she hastened to
initiate negotiations with Italy, and
will give her weaker neighbor the ben
eft of the minimum tariff, long and
vainly sought by the latter.
The Italians estimate that under the
new arrangement million hectolitres
of heavy southern wines, which are
used in mixing the lighter French
wines, will be exported to France, re-
sulting in great impetus 70 the Ital
ian industry. In return, France ex'
/ poets TO remove the dangers of having
to cope with the Italian navy in the
| Mediterranean, in the event of a Ger
man war, and also to nullify Germany'i
| policy of isolatng France.
Free trade Britain has no subsidies
she can offer to retain Italy's support
but in the present position of the
worlds politics, she is not as solicitoui
for it as she would have been year
ago. What Great Britain loses in Italy
the Westminster Gazette declares
she gains in the Philippines.
Prominent politicians and statesmen
express the belief that once embarked
in colonial acquisition, the United
States will be compelled, as Grea
Britain has been, to constantly add tc
her colonies possessions which may b,
thrown on the market, merely to pre-
vent them falling into the hands OF he
rivals.

ANNEXATION INEVITABLE.
But Cubans Desire Brief Period OF Inds-
pendence.

Havana, Nov. 27.-Domingo Mendez
Capote, late vice president of the Cuban
republic and now president of the ex-
ecutive commission, las expressed his
belief that the future of Cuba would
inevitably be annexation to the United
States. This, he said, was the natural
outcome of recent events, but he denied
that Cuban leaders have that aspira-
ton. The independence which 40 long
animated the Cuban people Is to be
temporarily satisfied. They wish, for
short period at least, to see their
own flag waving over free Cuba"
They recognize that annexation will
come, and that shortly and by the
unanimous voice OF the Cuban people
themselves, but they desire to SEQ the
cause for which they had fought
crowned with the success it deserves.

One Hundred Vessels Lost and Seventy
Sailors Dead ON the Atlantic Coast.
Boston, Nov. 2s.--It is known def-
hitely that more than seventy liyes
have been lost in the wreck of tugs,
schooners and coal barges during the
storm of Saturday night and Sunday
morning and If the steamer Portland
has also gone down, as now seems pos
sible, the list of casualties will rise TO
lao, with over 100 vessels of all de-
scriptions ashore, two score of them
seem to be total wrecks and an un-
known number probably beneath the
waves of Massachusetts bay.
There is scarcely bay, harbor or
inlet, from the Penobseott to New Lon
don that has not on its shores the bones
of some staunch craft, while all along
Massachusetts bay, and especially
Boston harbor, the beaches are piled
high with wreckage of schooners and
coal barges. The record although
hourly lengthening, is still incomplete,
for that ocean graveyard of Cape Cod
is still to be heard from.

HOME RULE AT SANTIAGO.
Old Resident Appointed Mayor and onices

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 26.-Some
time ago Major McLeary, whom Gen
eral Leonard Wood has appointed
mayor of Santiago, requested to be re-
lieved of his mayoralty duties and to
return to his military post. The re-
quest was granted yesterday. In the
opinion of General Wood it is prefer
able to appoint to the mayorality
civilian acceptable to the Cubans, and
he has appointed as Mayor McLeary's
successor Senior Bacardi, an old resi-
dent. Heis anxious to give the mayor
as much authority as is compatible
with military jurisdiction. The new
mayor will conform to General Woods
ideas, which are to give the Cubans
every opportunity to show themselves
capable of lf-goyernment.
The first official act of the mayor
was to discharge the entire clerical
force in the mayors office, and to ON
ploy Cubans who had served in the
war He will shortly issue a manifesto
to the effect that he intends encourag'
ing the citys development, and giving
employment, as far as conditions will
permit, to worthy persons. He will
promise to look closely to the general
interests of the community, and will
call upon all Cubans to obey the law,
and thus promote the prosperity Of the
country, and to insure the happiness
OF its people. General Wood has high
hopes of this first attempt at civil gov
ernment nndar Cuban control
