San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov. 2O-Senor
del Vale, Mayor of San Juan, has ten
dered his resignation because of the per
sistent and unreasonable opposition OF
members of the City Council to my efforts
In behalf of the city,"
1t is said that Senor Munoz, president
of the council of Secretaries under the o.d
regime, influenced the councilmen, a ma
jorlty of whom are Liberals, to antagon-
ze Senor del Vale, who is an independ-
ent in politics and quite free from paru-
sanship. Del Vale was in excellent re-
pute as a Mayor and general regret is
expressed at his resignation The appoint
ment of Senor Manual Roman as his sue
cessor is considered satisfactory to Munoz.
Roman is a professional politician and be
longs to the same party as Munoz.
Mgr. Valdez, the Spanish bishop Of Porto
Rico has resigned the diocese, alleging
that it Is impossible for him to serve any
other country than Spain. The local
clergy were paid by the United States for
last September. but no more money is
forthcoming, and it is generally believed
that Bishop Valdez resigned for this rea-
son. Now that government support is re-
moved, the future of the Church Of Rome
in Porto Rico will depend entirely upon
voluntary contributions.

this state will be lived up to by the prin-
cipals.
Corbett is the savorite In the betting at
100 to 80, and the general impression is
that the rules governing the bout which
call for a clean break, favor him.
The sailor pugilist is a strong in-fghter,
but has yet to show any degree of clever
ness at long range work, while the very
opposite can be said for Corbett.

BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Attorney Generals Report Deals
with Its Operation.

Washington Nov. 20.-The forthcoming
annual report Of the Attorney General en-
braces a review of the national bankrupt
cy law of July l, 1898, which has been pre-
pared by Mr.. e. C. BrandeL9urg. In charge
of bankruptcy matters in the department
of justice
Mr. Brandenburg, who is preparing
book on bankruptcy, briefly reviews SINH
lar past legislation, and details the opera
tlon of the feature of the law permitting
persons TO become voluntary banlrupts,
which took effect Aug. /, 1898 From this
report IL appears that the applicants for
relief have been found IN every walk of
life, irrespective of class or locality, and
shows that the large class Of men who
have been unfortunate in their business
enterprises have availed themselves Of the
relief offered. Notwithstanding the law
has been in force over three months, the
courts in eight districts declined to proceed
with the reference and adjudication Of the
presentations for the reason that the Su-
preme Court has not promulgated the
rules, forms and orders required by the
act. In all other cases the courts have
proceeded and adjudicated petitioners
bankrupt, or have referred the case to the
referees for action.
Since the law took effect l,7O0 presenta-
tions in voluntary bankruptcy have been
filed, Sngularly the districts of Della
ware. Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern
Georgia, Nevada. New Mexico Western
Virginia and Wyoming show that no per-
sons therein have applied to be adjudged
bankrupt.

o'clock. She kept backing off, steering
southeast by east and running under full
sail, when suddenly the lookout sang out:
Breakers ahead!'
Almost al the same time The ship struck
with a tremendous crash. She rose again
on the heavy ground swell, lurched for
ward, struck again, was carried further by
the seas, struck a third time, and COM
menced settling at once. The seas by this
time were washing completely over the
vessel and the decks were quickly cleared
of everything movable. The crew had
taken to the rigging, most of them to the
mizzenmast.

huh broke in two. The mainmast fell, and
this started the mlzzen mast, in which
nearly all the crew had taken refuge

After helping Mcmahon and Weber into
the boat, they soon drifted on shore
Mcmahon, one of the survivors, said:
"The only reason | can think for the
disaster was that the captain had lost
his reckoning on account of the weather
for three days preceding, otherwise the
accident is quite unaccountable 1t was
a pitiful sight to see the chief officers in
the rigging crying and praying for help.
