A st. Johns, N. f., dispatch says that
the steamer Mastift was crushed in IN ice

bottom was torn out Of her by tho bergs.
The crew, with boats and provisions, left
the ship and escaped on the ice foe, where
they spent ~forty-eight hours. Nearly
every man was frost bitten, most Of them
severely. The ice broke up the first night
and a large party OF men we're plunged

night twelve went insane, but by great

New York Detectives Investigating
the Shooting OF tho Actress.
Six New York detectives are trying to
solve the mystery in the death of Laura
Booth. an actress who was found with q
bullet wound in her head in her room ut
the New Amsterdam hotel at Twenty first
street and Fourth avenue, although Capt.
Hasslacher Of the Eighteenth precinct
police station, who had charge of the case,
said that he was inclined to believe that
the young woman had committed suicide.
She registered at the hotel with her hus-
band, James s. Lee, one night last week.
During the evening nothing wa heard of
them until about 1 o'clock. Then the oc-
cupant of an adjoining room heard q con-
versation between her and Lee. He
seemed to be outside the door trying to
get in, while she said something about his
having stayed out too late. That was the
last heard Of them until the discovery OF
the body. The shooting had evidently oc-
cured in the bath room, as there was
blood there and a trail across to the bed,
where she was found. The physicians did
not think she could have walked across
the room after such a wound was inflicted.

day night. Speaking of Spain's reply re-
ceived the Washington Post says: SIT is
not what the president, hoping for the
best, had expected. 1t is at most a
vague and unsatisfactory note from Min
lister Woodford, d~evoting more space to
his impressions of what the Spanish gov
eminent will or will not do than a formal
expression from the Spanish ministry of
its wv position. Spain does not accede
to the American demands. Neither does
she positively and finally reject them.
The question is still left open for future
negotiations. According to the tradi-
tional policy of Spanish diplomacy
more delay is required and much evasion
is manifested. Que of the reasons
for asking further time is the fact that the
ministry cannot act without the rati-
fication Of the cortes, which is not now in
session. Counter propositions are also
suggested, rather than plainly stated,
which look to the sidetracking Of the main
issue. which is the immediate and complete
independence Of the island of Cuba"
