pleasures OF social diversion and the
want of an escort prevents her from

sees young men patiently waiting on

escort the girls home, but she knows
that none OF them is for her. She walks
out and wends her way homeward

POWERS HAVE INTERFERED

New York, Aug. s.-According TO ad-
vices received from Havana by the Cuban
junta, Captain General Blanco appreciates
the fact that he must soon withdraw him
self and his forces from the island OF
Cuba He has assumed a mldness OF de-
meanor which contrasts strangely with
his previous bombastic attitude and fire.
quently expressed determination 10 hold
out in Havana TO the death and he is
treating the insurgents with great consid-
Grafton. In a recent proclamation he made
known to the Spanish people Of Cuba that
Spain. through the Intervention of for
elgn powers, had been forced TO the dis
graceful issue OF suing for peace and that
there would be no more war and no fur
ther use for soldiers. He offered a par
don to all Cuban political prisoners. and
more than $50 were released in Havana.
In explaining SPANS defeat in his proc
lamation, Captain General Blanco informs
his readers that Spain, having suffered
SO much in the present war. could not re-
sist the interference of the foreign pow
ers and go 10 war with all countries at
once. so she was compelled to accede 70
their dictatlon and sue for peace. Ha-
vana, he says. will be given over TO Amer
leans and Cubans and the Spaniards Will
be forced to evacuate.
Captain General Blanco assures the sol
diers and all Spanish residents who wish
to return to Spain or go to other Spanish
possessions that they viii get free trans
portation, given by their mother country.
TO their destination, and VIII be protected
from Interference from either Cubans or
Americans. He suggests that the Cu5ans
be forgiven and no longer regarded as
enemies and that no unkind feeling be
cherished

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Washing

graphs: Spain is making a desperate
struggle to retain the Philippines and
obtain the assumption of the Cuban
debt by the United States In exchange
for Cuba. While no advices have yet

garding the work Of the Peace Commits

Gals the subject of the disposition,
control and government of the Philip

from the fact that Mr.. Day had not ad-
vised the department of the work done
it is only too evident that no agree
ment was reached either with respect
to those islands or as to the independ-
ence of Cuba and the cession of Porto
Rico and Guam to the United States
There is reason to believe from now
on that the tone Of the American COM
mission will be more peremptory In

VILLAGERS CARE FOR
RESCUED AND THE DEAD

ST. KEVERINE, Oct 15.-In the
lower end of the church here lie fifteen
bodies, among them those of four wo-
men and one -year-old girl. The
bodies are laid out reverently. The
faces of the victims present a sad
sight, showing how rudely the waves
and rocks played with their features
The whole village and neighborhood
are alive with excitement, and knots of
men linger about, talking with the
rescued members of the crew.
1t is exceedingly difficult to trace the
events of the disaster, but so far as can
be ascertained, it seems that the
weather was not thick, but that a
strong southeast wind was blowing and
there was a heavy ground swell on and
a strong current running. Dinner was
ready and Captain Griffiths was about
to proceed to the saloon when a sudden
crash made it apparent that the steam
er had gone ashore. The captain imme-
diately went on deck, and the survivors
say they saw him on the bridge doing
ali that lay in the power of a brave
man to lessen the disaster.
Authentic particulars of the events
occurring after the ship struck are not
yet obtainable. 1t seems, however, thst
one of the ships boats, containing sew
eral women, got away safely, but was
capsized. A number of it's occupants
were rescued by Afeboats. Another
boat with sixteen hands was picked up
by a lifeboat and safely got ashore,
and two or three other persons man
aged to reach land.
The rescued persons are receiving the
greatest attention from the inhabitants,
and the utmost kindness is being shown
to the female passengers.
