CORONER CALLS
ROLL OF DEAD
Inquiry Into Wreck of
the Mohegan Begun.
LONDON MANAGER TESTIFIES
SAYS THE STEAMER WAS INTHE
FINEST CONDITION.
Contradicted by a Passenger, Who
Claims That the Life Boats
We're Not Properly
Arranged.
Special. Dispatch to The Call.

FALMOUTH. Oct 17-The inquest in
connection with the wreck of the Mo-
hogan began this morning at st. Ke-
VERNE, because it was necessary for
mally to identify the dead there. The
survivors, many of them wounded and
carrying their arms in sings, were
obliged to ride twenty miles over the
toughest roads from Falmouth. The
Coroner expressed his sympathy.
The roll of the dead was then called.
One woman's body was claimed by two
families. Other bodies had no identif1-
cation.
A. S. Williams, the company's Lon
don manager, testified describing the
ship as in the finest condition. He said
they had rebuilt her boilers on her first
voyage, and had withdrawn her from
one trip, devoting several weeks to re-
pairing her machinery, which was per-
fectly adjusted. He described the OFF,
GERS of the Mohegan in the highest
terms, laying stress on the abstemi-
business of Captain Grifiths. Speaking
of the crew, Mr. Williams said: eve
know that the crew did all they could
to save the passengers"
Richard Kelly, a passenger-There
crews were trying to get out the boat.
The only officers 1 saw were Captain
Griffiths and another on the bridge.
Mr.. Williams can prove that all
the officers were on deck and were aid
ing to get out the boats.
Mr.. Kelly insisted that the boats were
improperly arranged, being surround
ed by ratings instead of swung on day-
its, so that they were with difficulty
launched
Mr. Williams contended that the
launching of four boats in twenty min
utes was good work.
The Coroner adjourned the inquest
for a week to secure the attendance of
a nautical expert representing the
Board of Trade.
After the adjournment. Mr.. Kelly
complained that only members of the
crew had been summoned to testify.
The Coroner replied that he would be
very glad to hear the experiences of the
passengers. In response, Mr.. Kelly
with others, protested inability to re-
main for an adjourned hearin~- week
later. offering to testify immediately.
The Coroner declared that this was out
of the question.

SYNDICATE FORMING TO
BUY UP CUBAN BONDS

Special cable to The Call and the New York
Herald Copyrighted. 1885, by James Cor
don Bennett.
MADRID, Oct. lit Is regarded
here as a good sign that a large Anglo
American syndicate is being formed to
buy up Cuban bonds. This, of course,
is interpreted as evidence that salts
factory arrangement Is at hand. Cuban
bonds were up seven and half points,
and to-day's Bourse was buoyant.
There is good reason for supposing that
the big cannon mounted at Havana
will fall to Americans.

FOR CONCLUDING A
FORMULATING PEACE

BAYONNE, France, Oct. 17.-Advices
received here from Madrid point to eff
fervescence in military circles of the
club where members are severely criti-
Ching the Government for concluding
what they term "humiliating peace"
and some of them even suggest the es-
adjustment of a military dictatorship
under the present dynasty.
The officials at Madrid deny the re-
port current on the continent that Cap
tain General Blanco has resigned.

It was plain challenge to the Liberal party in Grimsby and to the Liberal leaders to declare themselves on the question of home rule for Ire land, but, though the challenge was plain, the glove was not taken up. The Liberals, indeed, started candidate in opposition, but that candidate ex- pressly declared that he would not fight on the home rule question, and despite that fact Sir William Harcourt, as leader of the party, backed him up and called on "all true Liberals" to rally to his side. Under these circum- stances 1t would obviously have been of no advantage whatever to the cause of home rule if the Liberal had won As matter of fact he was beaten, and there Is great growing in the Unionist camp in consequence.
 The result is unquestionably a bad blow for the cause of home rule in England, but it is an equally bad blow for the Liberal party who ought by this time to know that the cnly earth Iy chance they have of keeping their members together and of getting back to power is to champion home rule and make 1t once again the chief plank in their platform. One thing Is certain, they never can come into power again. at least in this generation, without the aid of the Irish vote, and that vote will be withheld from them as long as they maintain their present attitude. if the views of a good many Irish Ma tionalists are carried out by their rep resentatives in the House of Commons

Special Correspondence of The Call.

. DUBLIN, Aug. 6.-Dublin, which has been thrown into excitement already by the project to elect a Uniontst Lord Mayor for 1899, is about to be provided
 with an additional cause for unrest. A committee has been formed in London
 for the purpose of. erecting a national memorial to the late MT. Gladstone, and among the suggestions made by that body is one for the erection of a
 statue or other monument in Dublin : in honor of the deceased English states man. This suggestion, like the proposal to pay MT. Gladstone funeral honors, has received the approval of that sec . tion of Irish NatiOnalists which took the side of MT. Gladstone against MT.

Awarded Oil Lands Located in

AFTER Lung LITIGATION
Laid Claim to Waste Acres Fifty
Years Ago.
DIR. w. w. Parker Took Out n War
the Old Dominion Wilderness.

Wheeling, w. Va, Dec. 27.-By decis-
ion of the supreme court of appeals, in the
case of Parker VS.. Laucks heirs, DR.. w.
W. Parker, who is at present resident
of Richmond, Va, acquires tract of land
containing over LOO acres, upon which
are twenty-five of the most valuable wells
owned by the Standard Oil Company. The
land is in Wetzel County and its tu /
value has never been represented in the
oil developments conducted there by the
Standard Company and other developing
concerns.
Fifty years ago DR.. Parker's father was
register of the land Office for Virginia, and
the doctor, then young man, was clerk
in the Office. One of his duties was to
make out warrants for what were ca led
wild lands. He conceived the idea OF lay
ing claim to some of the unclaimed lands
in West Virginia, then a part of the Old
Dominion. He accordingly made out a
warrant for 5000 acres and took with
him as equal sharers J. w. Homer and the
Rev. John Laucke, a Methodist circuit
rider. Parker and Horner served during
the Civil War and Parker continued to
pay taxes. His receipts were lost and the
land passed from him but is now returned

Manila, Dec. 27.-The Aguinaldo govern

president if Aguinaido's new cabinet re-
fuses to confirm the new constitution,
which limits the powers of the president.
The opposition claims q majority of five

secure the cooperation of certain army
leaders against Aguinaldo. The latter is
evidently worried. When the cabinet re-
signed he resigned the presidency, re-
tanning, however, the leadership of the
army, but later he withdrew his resigna
tion.
The Spanish troops, under the orders of
Gen. Rios, are reported TO have evacuated
