RESCUE OF CREWS AT SEA.
British Steamer Saves Americans from n
 Wrech-Thrilling Work.

Wreclz-Thriliing Work.
 Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-The members of one of the many crews of the vessels which were wrecked off the New Eng- land coast during Saturday and Sum- days storm are safe and are tonight domiciled in the Quaker City. These men are Captain Dobbin of the schoon- CT Maynard Summer and his full crew of five men. The captain and his men were rescued from their dismasted and water-logged vessel yesterday by the British steamer Mackinaw which left London November ', and arrived here tonight. The rescue was accomplished by Captain Finley of the Mackinaw, sending a boats crew to the wrecked Mackinaw sighted at o'clock yester- day afternoon seventy-slx miles south southeast of Montauk Point.
 The Sumner first ran into the storm last Saturday afternoon. A blinding snow storm was raging and the captain mistook a steamers light for that of the Block Island and he was thrown off his bearings. The gale increased and soon carried the forecastle and main rigging away and the mountainous seas broke the steering gear, leaving the vessel floating helplessly at the will of the waves. For thirty-eight hours the dis mantled vessel lay in the trough of the sea. Two steamers were sighted during Sunday and distress signals were waved. Thecrew declare that they must have been seen by those on board the steamers but that no attention was paid to them.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
THE FIRE coMMIsSIoNERs.
Five Physicians Appointed-An Inn
 portant Petition Approved.


 The board of fire commissioners held regular meeting last night and trans acted routine business. Five depart ment physicians were appointed. They are Dr. c. P. Lindsley, Dr. w. P. Bald win, Dr. N. R. Hotchkiss and Dr. J. s. Seabold. The first two mentioned have been physicians and the only two of the department for some time, and were reappointed The increase in the num- Der is made in order that there may be a department physician in different parts of the city, who can thus be call ed more quickly than if there were only two. Two petitions were received asking for permission to erect rear ten Nements. One was from Pasquale Vo- lenti, who desired to build in the rear of No. 27 Collia street. He stated that he desired to rent rooms in the con templated rear tenement to nine fami- lies. He was given leave to withdraw. The other petition was from Pasquale Nacoloro, who desired to build in the rear of Nos. 55 and 57 Collis street. It seems that sometime ago while the present Chief Fancher was fire marshal Nacoloro asked for a. permit to build a barn In the rear and was told that if he would get a permit to build in the rear he would be given a building per- init. A few days ago Marshal Gladwin called at the place and found that one story of the building had already been constructed, although no permit had been obtained. Nacoloro explained last night that he had understood that per- mission had been given and had decided to build tenement instead of barn. In view of the fact that he had already erected portion of the building he was given permit last night.
 The commissioners decided to ap prove a petition which the members of the department have drawn up asking for a change in the salary system and which will be presented to the common council next Monday night. The idea is to procure amendment to the city charter, covering the matter and if the petition is approved by the common council it will be sent to the legislature at the coming session.

FIRST ADrICEs FROM CU1TYHUNK.
Eleven Schooners AshOre-Stenmcr
 Fairfax Lies on an Even Keel,

Fairfax Lies on an EVeh AAeet,
 New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 29.-The first boat from Cuttyhunk since Satur- day brought word to-day that eleven schooners went ashore there during the blow and were badly wrecked and that three wrecking steamers are at the scene of the wrecked steamer Fairfax. The Fairfax lies on an even keel and the sea was comparatively smooth, but no efforts are being made to get her off. The agent of the steamship com pany arrived here to-day from Boston and left immediately for Providence to get communication through to New York in relation to saving the steamer. He will return to this city and proceed to the wreck tonight. The United States steamer Mayhower, which was the Suwanee during the war, went out to-day on a machinery trial trip.

The Most Terrible Accounts of Ruin
 and Death Coming from Cape Cod
 Miles and Miles of Coast Line Piled
 High W ith Wrelkase-Loss of the Port
 land and Upwards of One Hundred
 Souls Further Confirmed by Report
 From Highland Light-First News
 from Provincetown Tells of Thirty
 Total Wrecks.
 Boston, Nov 29.-The passing hours did not seem to bring an end to the reports of wrecks and loss of life up and down the New England coast, as the outcome of Sundays terrific storm. All day places which were nearer the storm center got word to the outside world and as the tale unfolded, it was such as New England never heard be- fore. It is from Cape Cod that the most terrible accounts of ruin and death are coming and of these the loss of the steamer Portland, side-wheeer plying between Boston and Portland, with all on board, nearly one hundred souls overshadows all. The rightly called graveyard of this coast, the treacherous bars and rips on the out side of Cape Cod, have claimed victims without number Miles and miles of coast line are piled high with wreckage, most of which is ground so fine by the waves that identification of hapless craft is impossible. As the fury of the wind was as great on the bleak sand hills which make up the cape it will be many hours before all places are heard from. Wires, there are none, and rail- roads cannot break out the snow drifts and this feature is distressing, as much suffering from cold and hunger must ensue among the people in the lit Il hamlets.
 Tonight the only means of reaching Cape Cod is by steamer across Massa- chusetts bay, a very disagreeable voy- age, as the sea is yet boisterous. Word from Provincetown, however, tells of nearly thirty total wrecks, with the number of lives lost unknown.
 Matters are improving slightly along Vineyard Sound, so far as means of communication is concerned. The best summing up is told by Captain Hard of the revenue cutter Dexter, who has cruised along shore all day He says the sight in Vineyard Haven is one of desolation. Hulls are piled up on shore and those vessels which are af1oat seem mere shells. The Dexter reports pos- sible additions to the wreck list of two schooners sunk abreast of Presque Isle. The fate of these crews is unknown. There are three wrecking steamers around the Fairfax shore on Sow and Pigs reef. Storm stories from all parts of New England still come in, but those from inland towns are insignificant as compared with those from seaports. The financial loss in various branches of business cannot be estimated at this time. When the worst is known an idea of the sum total can be suggested.

THE GATE CITY MAYBE LOST.
Body With One of Her Life Preservers
 Reported Washed Ashore.

Boston, Nov. 29.-The arrival in this city from Cape Cod tonight of party of hunters has added to the excitement attendant upon the report that the steamer Portland had been wrecked on Cape Cod through their reporting that 1t is the belief of the life savers on the outer side of the cape, south of Nauset light, that Savannah line steamer had struck on Peaked Hill. Each member of the party saw bodies washed ashore at Nauset and the life savers claimed to have seen body in the surf with a life preserver bearing the name Gate City, The surf is full of articles from the vessels cargo. One of the hunters says that there is possibility that the Gate City was only swept by seas and some of the deck fittings were washed away The Gate City sailed from this port for the south on Saturday.

FEAR OF CARLIST RISING
SPANISH GOVERNMENT IS TAKING
 EXTRAORDINARY PRECA UTIONS.

Greatest Vigilance Over Telcsrams
 and Telephones Progress With the
 Peace Treaty.
 London, Nov. 30.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard, telegraph ing Monday by way of the Spanish frontier, says: "The government, ap- prehensive as to the effect of signing the peace treaty has ordered the mili- tary and civil authorities to maintain the greatest vigilance over telegrams and telephones. A strict censorship of newspapers is continued throughout the country and special severity is shown with respect to articles alluding to the peace negotiations. Unfavorable infor- nation has been received concerning the Carlist's propaganda and prepara- tions which are decidedly assuming se- rious proportions. Fl Epocha says that Carlism is spreading not only in Blscay but in Duipuacoa, a Basque province, bordering on France, and in places hitherto tranquil. The Bilbao papers report official preparations there.
 Other papers assert that the Carlists are openly offering in Madrid and else where commissions for officers and daily pay at three pesetas for volun- teers. There is much anxiety in f1nan- cial and political circles lest the Car lists seize the opportunity which is pre- scented by the profound disappointment of the country at the loss of the Philip pines, the government had unwisedly led the nation to believe the archipela- go would be retained. Many noted civil and military Carlist leaders have been abroad for some time and there is ID doubt the Carlists have collected funds in Spain, if not abroad. 1 am assured however, that their propaganda in the army has been unsuccessful even among the discontented repatriated sol- diers who were expected to become will ling recruits"
