her off is likely to- be difficult The
Ohio lies about mile from the place
of the Venetian wreck Ashore, not
tar from the Ohio, is the schooner C.
A. White from Baltimore, but she will
probably float. Just above Spectacle
Island is Thompson Island and on the
beach are three coast lumbermen, the
Watchman, Fred f. Emerson, Sera-
phine (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
Warden.
So far as known there were no lives
lost from any of the above schooners,
although it is said two men were wash
ed overheard from the Virginia. No
effort was made this afternoon TO reach
two unknown schooners ashore at Moon
Head or another further up Quincy
Bay on the flats off the Atlantic.
Further out in the bay the casualties
began with the sinking Of at least one,
if not two, coal barges and the loss of
the crew of each. The tug Cumberland
came in early 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 reported to
have sunk and her crew of four men
lost.
The schooner A. E. Babcock from
Philadelphia is reported to have found
cred with her crew Of seven men out
side Of Boston Light.
Two other coal barges are ashore at
Gauopes Island, but it is likely that the
crew Of neither has been lost, as the
vessels appear to be in comparatively
safe place.
All of the Captains Of the fleet say
the storm was the worst that they ever
experienced in Massachusetts Bay. The
loss by the storm in and about this
city will amount to $4,000.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Nov.
Zi.-Dr. Anadeo, a Porto Rican. who
has passed much of his life in the
United States. recently made study
OF the foods of the poorer classes of
his countrymen and has embodied some
OF the results of his labor in an open
letter to Major General Brooke. In the
course of his letter DR.. Amadeo says.
Five years ago, upon my return from
the United States l began to make GER
tain comparisons between the poor of
Porto Rico and the poorer classes
among Americans. / noticed a physi-
cal 1nferiority among the Porto Ricans.
The blame for this should be laid at
Spain's door, for she, by reason of ex-
cessive duties on the neeessariess of life.
always prevented the poor man here
from obtaining proper nourishnfent.
The science of nourishment shows us
that man, in order to maintain his
health, should consume daily about 124
grammes of nitrogenized matters $40
grammes of matter containing starch
and 50 grammes containing grease.
Hence, the indispensability of meat.
But the laborer of Porto Rico lived on
carbonates of hydrogen alone. Meat is
luxury he never tastes.
Thls largely explains the condition
OF the laboring classes Of Porto Rico
the muscular system wasting away
from defective nourishment and the
brain inactive and dull because depriv-
ed of phosphates.
"A majority of the Porto Ricans are
OF European extraction. They cannot
support life in roofiess houses there and
In the open woods, as can the black
races of Africa. We should make it
possible for them to obtain shelter and
homes, at least as good as those of
their forefathers. This could be done
by permitting the entrance free from
all restrictions and duties Of the com
ponent parts of simple houses. such as
boards, joists, iron roofing and nails.'E
