ALI BUT ONE OF CREW DROWNED.
Schooner St. Peter Goes Down-Captatn
 Picked Up Unconscious.


 Rochester, N. r., Oct. 27-Ths noon about five miles northwest of Soudas on Lake Ontario, the three-masted schooner St. Peter of Cape Vincent sank with all on board save one, the captain, who was rescued in an uncon- scious condition. The schooner showed signals of distress early this morning as she drifted past Charlotte. The tug Proctor put out after, but after cruising for four hours, returned with out getting a glimpse of the distressed vessel. During the forenoon the people and telegraphed to Soudas Point for help. The tug Corneia started out, but the great seas nearly swamped her and she was compelled to return to the har- Dor. Word was sent to Charlotte and the tug Proctor started from there with the life-saving crew. When within a mile of the St. Peter the crew on the Proctor saw the distressed ship sink. In ten minutes the tug was cruising about the spot where she went down. The captain of the St. Peter was picked up unconscious. After spending half an hour looking for the other members of the ill-fated crew the tug started for Soudas Point, where medical assistance was secured for the captain. He is still unconscious. It is known that the wife Of the captain was drowned. Eight or ten persons at least perished The cap- tain will recover. Persons on shore who saw the St. Peter go down say that two men were standing at the mast when the waters swallowed them It is thought the St. Peter lost her rud- der and the heavy seas caused her to spring a leak.

GREAT WELCOME TO KITCHENER.
Met in London by Lord Wolseiey and
 Other High Officials.

London, Oct. 27.--General Kitchener greeted by the commander-in-ch chief Of the British forces, General Lord Wolse- ley, and other high military officials The Grenadiers formed a guard of hon. or at the railroad station and General Kitchener received an ovation from the throngs of people assembled to welcome him back from Egypt. The scene of enthusiasm was almost unprecedented.
 The crowds at the Victoria station of the London, Chatham and Dover rail- way was so dense that the police were unable to cope with them. The bar riers and the police cordon were carried away together, and the multitude surg ed into the reserved portion of the sta tion.
 As the sirdar issued from the royal waiting room, expecting to step into his carriage, he found himself confront ed with an impenetrable mass, cheer ing, gesticulat;ng and shouting Bravo, Herbert, God bless you, my boy" Cheers for the avenger of Gordon" and kindred cries. His face beamed with pleasure at the popular greeting. When he attempted to make his way through the crowd his hat was "bashed in,'' and the police had to save him forcibly from the attentions of enthusi- astic guardsmen, who desired to carry him on their shoulders through the big throng. All attempts to clear a passage were futile. The sirdar was forced to retire and was finally smuggled out of the station through a distant corner of the building.

YELLOW FEVER IN NEW YORK
COZ. GEORGE 4. wARlNe STRICKEN 1T HIS HOME.
Recently Returned from Cuba Where He Was Sent to Inspect Sanitary Con- dition of Troops and of Havana His Way Home-Family win Remain With Him.

New York, Oct. 27.-Commissioner William T. Jenkins of the health de- partment gave out an official state- ment tonight to the effect that Colonel George A. Waring, who recently re- turned to New York on the steamer Yucatan from Cuba and went directly to his home at 175 Second avenue, has yellow fever. It was supposed at first that Colonel Waring had malarial fev- CT. To-day his physician, Dr. Daniel Stimson, reported to the board of health that Colonel Waring was suffer- ing from some suspicious disease. h. spector Blauvelt of the health depart ment and Dr. White of the marine hos p1tal, who was formerly in charge of the yellow fever camp at Fontainbleau, Fla, at once accompanied Dr. Stimson to Colonel Warnings house and made an examination. They returned at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and made another examination. They diagnosed the case as yellow fever. Colonel War ing's temperature in the morning was 10S 1-S degrees. In the opinion of the physicians the case is not malignant, and Colonel Warnings chances for re- covery are good. There is no danger of the spread of the disease. Colonel Warnings wife, his stepson and man servant have been with him since his arrival at his home. They were given the privilege of remaining with him or leaving the house. They elected to re- main. Mrs. Waring is immune, but the others are not. An inspector from the board of health was placed on duty at the house. Colonel Waring was sent to Cuba to inspect the sanitary condi-s tion of the army and of Havana. He was taken i'll on board the Yucatan on the return voyage. He apparently was not seriously Ill.

MAY RETAIN PHILIPPINES
THIS BELIETED TO BE INTENTION
 OF UNIFIED STATES,

Standard Says the Spanish Govern-
 ment Has Good Reason to Think This
 Will be DOne-The Spanish Commits
 sioners Will Make q Strong Resistance.
 London, Oct. 2S.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says: "The government has good reason to believe that the United States intends to re- tain the Philippines. The government believes that the American conhmissi>n- CTS will argue the necessity of thus de- viating from the spirit and text of the protocol on the ground that the condi- ton of things in the island of Luzon and the Archipelago renders it impossible for America to abandon her native all lies or Spain to re-estbalish her rule without heavy sacrifices Of men and money; and finally, because Spain could not be allowed to retain possess sion except under conditions unpalata- ble to Spaniards and to their colonial traditions. Spain, however, cannot yet believe she will be deprived of the Phil ippines without some pecuniary com- pensation, in addition to g recognition of the Philippine loan of 1896. There fore, upon the question of the Philip pines, the Spanish commissioners Niil make even a stronger resistance than they have made over the Cuban debt.''

CASE OF CAPTAIN DREYFUS

It is Expected the Court win Decide
 That There Has Been No Treason and
 That Condemnation of Dreyfu Cam
 not be Upheld-M. Dupuy Says "No
 Honest Politician WuI Decline to Ac-
 cept the Decision Which Shall be
 Given."
 Paris, Oct. 27.-The belief is general tonight that the court of cessation will pronounce neither for revision nor for annulment of the decision in the Drey- fus case, as either course would entail awkward consequences. To avoid these it is expected the court will decide that as the affair now presents itself there has Teen no treason and that therefore the condemnation pronounced upon Captain Dreyfus by the court martial cannot be upheld. M. Dupuy, who was interviewed as he was leaving the Ely see said the question of Dreyfus re- vision was purely judicial, adding mo honest politician will decline to accept the decision which shall be given" The Courier Dusoir says that the rev. citations in the report of M. Bard. be- fore the Court of Cessation as to the part played by some of the members of the general staff, has produced a strong effect in military circles and are likely to result in a reaction tending to put an end to the antagonism be- tween the civil and military authori- ties.''

WILL MUSTER OUT TROOPS.
Now 1hit Peace Ii Assured the War De-
partment Will Discharge Thou.
sands Of sOldierA

Washington, Nov 29.-The war de.
partment, in view OF the assurances
that peace treaty will be- signed, is
arranging to muster out more troops.
1t is probable that from 10000 to 10000
volunteers will be mustered out as
soon as selections Of regiments can be
made. There has been quite de-
mand for the return of volunteers
from Manila, but no troops will
be brought from the Philip
pines unless they are replaced by
others. Many Of the volunteer regi-
ments in Manila have asked through
the governors and congressman of
their states to be returned to the
United States, but the war depart
ment has not been able to make any
definite promises pending the peace
negotiations. With the acceptance Of
the American terms by the Spanish
commissioners, any further probabili-
ties Of renewal of hostilities with
Spain is at an end and the
only necessity now for troops is to gar.
rison the islands and preserve the peace
of our new possessions 1t is proba-
BILE that the 10000 to 10000 men mus
tered out will include large number
organized for service in Cuba and the
force at Manila will be reduced when
ever Gen. Otis reports affairs in quiet
state in the Philippines.
