QUICK ACTION
Is Expected i'm Ratifylng the
Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The prompt
ratification of the American-Spanish b
treaty of peace is expected by the ad-
ministration. From conversations the
president has had with senators he
expects there will be very little
opposition to the treaty though he has
found diversity of opinion as to the
future government and disposition of
the Philippines. 1t is expected that
the treaty will be laid before the sem
ate just before or Immediately after
the holidays.

HORROR
INCREASES
As the News From Towns
Along the New England
Coast Comes In.
MORO THAN 200 DEAD
And II Is Hard To Tell Where
the End Will Be, As the
List Of Losses
Grows.

BOSTON, Nov. 30.-As communica'
tion with the coast towns is reopened
the story of horror aud death grows
continually. The storm which swept
over New England last Ssturd ay Eight
and Sunday wrought more damage to
shipping and caused the loss of more
human lives than any similar disaster
for a long time.
1t is hard to tell where the end VIII
be. The number of dead is mounting
up, and sorrow and suffering to thous-
ands follow in the wake Of the great
battle Of the elements.
Extreme cold added to the horror
OF the disasters at sea. Death came in
many horrible forms to the storm toss
ed marirers-drowning freezing, beat
ing to death on the rocks of the coast.
Nearly two hundred vessels were
wrecked on the New England coast in
all along the coast from Block Island
to Eastport, Maine.
Two hundred human lives are known
to have been sacrificed during the
storm, but the list Is being added to
hourly and may reach two hundred and
fifty. Schooners suffered most. From
every part of the coast come tales of
vessels of every class, sunk or ashore
with dead crews frozen In the rigging
where they had climbed in vain effort
to elude death.
The Portland horror grows hourly.
Additional names of these on board
are constantly being reported until
now q list of passengers aboard the Ill
fated vessel has reached seventy-eight
and the crew a total OF sixty-four. Not
a soul has been saved so far as known
and the one hundred and forty two
persons aboard are given up for lost.
The fact that bodies are comm e
ashore so slowly leads to the belief
that the vessel foundered in the open
sea; in that event many OF the bodies
will never be recovered. Captain
Blanchard, who went down with the
steamer, Is held responsible for the
disaster. He went to sea against or
ders, IL is stated, and ran into the gale
which brought so much death and di-
aster In its wake.

: WAR BOARD
Holds Another Short Session.

BOSTON, Nov. 30.-The war board
began their session today at $3.50 q. m.
DR.. J. Booth Clarkson, who went to
Porto Rico as medical agent for the
Massachusetts, volunteer aid associa-
tion, was the first witness.
He noticed a shortage Of supplies
and of some medicines, but thought it
WAS because there were not sufficient
transports. Major Darling,
of the Sixth Massachusetts,
volunteers, testified that his troops
sometimes lacked food, and he be-
lieved this was due to a lack of trans
ports and bad roads in Porto Rico.

AVERT UPRISING
BY Fastening the Conclusion of
pedCe.

MADRID, Nov. 3O-The Fastening of
the conclusion of the peace negotiations
may prove to be shrewd coup on the
part Of the government against the
Carlists, who are now reported to be
unresdy for an uprising but rapidly
preparing.
A crisis is inevitable in any event
when the people learn that Spain has
actually signed away valuable posses
sions, out it is liable to pass before Don
Carlos is prepared to strike.
With the pretender robbed of his oc-
casion, Premier SaRasta will be able
to suppress the uprising.

GAY e. PORTER DEAD.
A Young Man Whose Life Was Once
Full OF Promise,

Yesterday afternoon at 5: 80 O'Clock
Gay E. Porter died at the Sisters hos
pital after brief Illness. His death
was the result of pneumonia, contracted
November % as result of exposure
and neglect.
No one was notified of his illness until
the disease obtained such hold that
it WAS impossible to shake it off. DR..
Race was then called in. He found
| that one of the Porter's lungs had solid
| iied and expressed grave doubts of
the patients recovery. Porter was
removed to Hotel Dieu Immediately
and given the best of medical atten-
tion and the most careful nursing, but
in spite OF this he coz tinued to sink ra-
pidly.
Gay E Porter was prominent resi-
dent of this city more than ten years
ago. In earlier times he was recogniz-
ed as one OF the most active and enter
prisiDg young men in this locality. Ell
Paso has know him as newspaper
man, bank clerk, customs house emplo-
zee and real estate agent.
here as S H. Newman's as
sistant in publishing the "Lone Star"

wards withdrew from the business and
left Porter in full control. Porter

again overcome four years later by his
infatuatiOn for newspaper work, he ac-
cepted position as local editor of the
Times.

and went to the City of Mexico, to
manage w. G. Walz's business there.
Subsequently he was connected with
the Mexican Herald and other publi-
cations. He quit there and after drift
ing around for time returned to Ell
Paso last summer.
His friends in this city assisted him
to go into the real estate business and
he opened an Office here in partnership
with M. s. Durrell, his brother-in-law.
This business venture, however, soon
proved q failure and the partnership
was dissolved by mutual consent. Por-
ter's last illness was brought about
chiefly by his own acts. He was stop
ping at a cheap lodging house on Ell
Paso street and was utterly regardless
II his personal comfort.
Porter was Mason and during the
,ast few days the Masons of this city
nave been doing all in their power to
alleviate his sufferings. He was q
married man and bis wife is now in
Cincinnati. He was about 40 years old

Only Eight New Companies viii Be Needed
Under Second Call.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
Montgomery, June 2.-The governor an
nounced tonight that all but one company
of the first call for troops from Alabama
had been mustered in. The army MUSTER
ing officer only notified the governor on
Tuesday that he was ready to receive the
balance of the Alabama volunteers UP to
that time. The governor had been re-
quested not to send the Alabama volun-
teers to Mobile, as the government had
neither tents or other equipments.
The governor has received no notice of
the second call for troops, except request
from the war department that each of the
present companies be increased to 1O6 men,
This will take 760 more men from Alabama.
These will come from the new call for
troops from Alabama. Thus, under the
new call for presumably 1,500 men after
the present companies are filed, only eight
more companies remain to be organized.
OF the Alabama troops already mustered
In, four companies are of negroes. 1t is
just possible that the governor may accept
eight more negro companies, which. with
the four companies In camp, would make
a complete ngiment of negro troops They
are all under white officers.

co via New Orleans to join the Manila ex-
pedition. Transportation was requested
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
This morning the railway officials said that
the order was countermanded from hour
to hour, other orders have been changed
and while nothing is given out officially the
sitiation is this:
Under Waiting Orders
All six regiments of regulars are under
waiting orders. The five transports are
loaded with steam up. A long train of
freight cars has been switched out to
camp. Undoubtedly a portion of the reg
ulars will go by rail- since no more trans
ports have arrived and those here cannot
carry more than two regiments, and about
1900 head of stock and especially this hot
weather when crowding would be unwse.
The transports have aboard sixty days ra-
tions and forage for several thousand
men and horses besides ordnance stores.
An exact invoice is not to be had from
the officers. Among the officers the I'M
preston prevails tonight that Santiago is
their destination and all will be away from
here by Monday.
Equipments Badly Needed
None of the equipments lacking and badly
needed by the volunteers have arrived. To-
night 1t was stated at corps headquarters
that the Alabama, Texas and Louisiana
regiments will be permanently brigaded,
but no reliable information Is to be had
as to the new formation and brigade COM
manders. The Alabama officers believe
and hope that General William C. Oates
will ultimately be assigned to command
them. This afternoon the Mobile Cadets
mustered in, leaving only two companies in
the Second Alabama who have not raised
their quotas. The Canebreak Rifles and
Lomax Rifles lack about fifteen men each
of having the necessary eighty.
