CARRIED HIGH AND DRY
Merchant Vessel Blown Upon the
Reach Near san Francisco.

San Francisco, March 1.-THE three
masted ship New York. from Hong Kong
for San Francisco. ran ashore last night
near Half-MoOn bay, a small town about
Is miles south OF San Francisco. Cap
tain Peabody landed his crew in safety
and not a life was lost.
The ship struck al O'Clock in the eve
ming, within 800 yards of shore. 4 stiff
gale was blowing last night for the west
and in the haze and fog Captain Peabody
could not get his bearings and ran too
close in. There was a terrible sea and
no assistance could be given from shore
as no small boat could live in the surf.
This morning the ships boats were low
cred and the crew came ashore in safety.
A tug was sent from here last night TO
the assistance of the stranded vessel.
but she was powerless TO help her of
and returned this morning. II is thought
there is no possible chance Of getting
the New York off. She is high and dry al
low tide The ship is not broken UP al
all and sits as straight as if she were
in the water. Her captain is afraid that
she may tip over when the tide comes
IN. but al present she is in perfect con-
iition. Powerful tugs Will be sent from
here and another effort win be made to
pull her OF
The New York carried a cargo Of silks
and general merchandise consigned 10 D.
I. Jones & Co. Even II the ship can not
be saved, the cargo will probably be taken
out.
Were YOU an eye witness to this affarr:
asked the prosecutor Il don't know what
you'd call a nigh witness, but lwarn tmore'
five rods away.

ALL THINK SPAIN DID 1T
This Belief Universal Among Amcri-
cans in Havana.

Washington, March H.-Colonel Myron
N. Parker. one Of the leading business
men of Chicago. who accompanied Senator
Proctor in his recent visit to Cuba said
today that the Americans on the island
had no doubt that thet disaster 10 the
Maine was caused through Spanish agen-
cy. He said there was absolutely no df-
ference Of opinion among the Americans
as 20 the cause Of the disaster having been
an external explosion
The insurgents, Colonel Parker thought,
we're IN better shape than ever before and
would be able to accomplish their indie
pendence in time. The Cubans. as a rule.
he believed would ne glad 70 see the isl
and come under the American flag and
would do what they could 20 bring about
tina, result.
The Colonel reiterated his statement OF
last night that the situation of the re-
Concentrates was dcpiorabel IN the ex-
IRENE. They were confined within narrow
limits and practically left 70 starve. The
generosity OF the American people. how
ever. was beginning to be felt and the
extreme distress was gradually being re-
ueyed. He spoke in the highest terms Of
General Lee and the work he vas doing,
and also Of Consul Barker. who had made
great personal sacrifices FOR the Starving
people within his district
