Since the Big Storm BeganWekage Of All Kinds and Parts Of the
Cargo Of the Portland Are Being Washed Ashore.

Boston, Nov 30.-News of the loss Of
life of the Boston and Portland Steam
Packet company's steamer Portland of
Cape Cod and the death OF more than
$50 persons. who comprised the pas
sengers and crew OF the steamer and
news from hitherto unheard Of ports on
Cape Cod showing that at least a score
and a half of vessels were wrecked
along that shore, with the loss of a
dozen lives. has come as a dire climax
to the previous record of disasters re-
sulting from Saturday nights storm.
There are still other places to be heard
from on both sides OF the cape, which
have not been reached by train on ac-
count of washouts, and which are cut
off from other means OF cQmmunica-
ton by broken wires, blocked high
ways and shattered bridges. Up to this
morning the total loss of life cannot be
estimated with any degree Of accuracy.
IL is known that more than 200 persons
peiished. This estimate is made on the
basis OF only one from each crew re-
ported missing. and each OF which
would include at least three, while the
larger schooners would have seven or
eight men aboard.

A FORCE OF REGULARS.
Indications Are That Il viii Soon Be Sent 10 the

San Francisco, Nov. 30.-Gen. Mer-

the Pacific, in regard 20 the reported
orders for sending regulars to the Phil

THE reports are based on a dispatch
sent to Commissary Long to provide a
full tropical equipment for 5000 troops.
Long has already advertised for tents
and will soon let other contracts.
Nothing official has come, however. to
show the plans of the war department,

Impossible 10 Estimate Loss.

An attempt to estimate the financial
losses sustained by shipping interests
is equally difficult from facts in hand
but il appears that the bulk OF the
damage was done between Cape Ann
where a score or more of vessels were
lost. TO Cuttyhunk, where the steamer
Warwick is on the rocks.
From present reports IL is known that
Sc vessels have been totally wrecked,

'The second exception is also over
