 How far negotiations have gone l am unable to say. Nor do 1 know whether either the Spanish Government or the Cuban leaders have signifed a willing ness even to consider the plan.
 It is said that ex-Governor Levi r. Morton is deeply interested III any movement that will keep international peace. MT. Morton has been here for several days. While he was frequently in consultation with the President and was much in the company ot Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British Ambassador. he was also in attendance on the occa- sion of the presentation to the President of Senor Polo de Bernabe, the Spanish Minister. Mir Morton is not only trained diplomat, but he is flnancier, known as well in Europe as in America. The name of Mir. Morton is coupled with this new proposition of ending the Cuban war, and leaving us nothing but the Maine difficulty to adjust. It is not the first time he has attempted big tasks of this kind and succeeded.
 The movement to have Congress ad- journ early so as to remove the danger of explosion from spontaneous combus- ton and leave the entire Cuban question to be settled by negotiation assumed large proportions to-day. A canvass was made in the Senate to get the sentl- ment on the question of adjournment by April Is. It was discovered that the Democrats would help, and that scheme for adjournment by that date could be carried through that body.

HALFMOON BAY, March If. Y < The three-m -masted ship New 4 4 York, f1fty-eight days from 4 Hongkong. went ashore here last 4 night about 7:30 o'clock and will 4 4 probably prove a total loss. The Y < New York had a valuable cargo, < 4 principally of silks and tea, all Y 4 of which will be lost The vessel 4 4 is lying deeply imbedded in the 4 4 sand, about 200 yards from the 4 cliff, with the waves dashing < 4 over her. There is but little hope Y 4 of being able to save her. There Y < was ten feet of water in her hold f 4 at noon to-day, and 1t Is expect f 4 ed that at any minute she may 4 4 turn over. The cargo is valued f 4 at about s6oo, ,0O0
 There were twenty-one people aboard the New York when she drifted in on the beach last night. The crew con- sisted of Captain Thomas Peabody. First Mate W. c. Callip, Second Mate w. Wilson, Steward Johnson and four Japanese sailors. The names of the other searnen are Murphy, White, Burke, Paulh, Perkins. Sweeney, V Brock, Gleason, Wilson. Johnson, Don ' ovan. Disavers and Giles. Captain Peabody's wife and his seYen-year-old daughter, Claire, were also aboard. All of them Iana~ed to reach the shore.
 Several hours later one of the boats containing Captain Peabody and two sailors, who did not get off until long after davbreak yesterday morning. was capsized in the surf, but they all man. aged to get ashore with the assistance of a hundred or more volunteers rom Half-noon Bay who had remained on the beach all night .anxiously waiting an opportunity to assist in rescuing the crew
 The sea was running high at the time the New York went ashore and IL was impossible to launch any Of the ships boats. An attempt was made about midnight to launch lifeboat. The waves dashed it against the Iron sides of the ship and broke It into kndling wood, Captain Peapouy' realizing that it was useless to again attempt to launch a boat until the storm had in a measure abated, quieted the crew as best he could. The people on the beach could hear the voice or the captain commanding the crew, put could not make themselves heard, as a bowling wind was blowing from the ocean They waited as patiently as they could until the first boat was suc- cessfully launched at 2:40 o'clock this morning with the captains wife and little daughter and eleven of the crew In command of Mate Callip. For a Sew moments it looked as if the boat would capsize in the surf Several of ha nTa excited that they waded out above their waists into the water and suc- ceeded in throwing a rope to the ter rified passengers of the boat. The rope was quickly fastened to the boat and

The official mind Of WaShlngton IS puzzling over the shift. It is known the situation last week became most serious on the day after 1t became apparent through inquiries made by the Herald that the proposition to have the Cubans purchase their independence and the United States guarantee two hundred millions oi bonds would not be enter tained by Congress.
 The President had hoped that this plan would meet with favor. It can be stated on authority that the scheme had been cleverly mapped out by Senator Elkins and considered in great detail, but the views entertained by members of Congress led to its being abandoned. Then everything took on a gloomy tinge,
 The changed atmosphere from gravity to gayety once more is due to the revi- val of the purchase proposition in new form. If the insurgents are willing that their freedom should be bought for them. what difference should 1t make whether the purchase is made through the United States or through some other agency? l understand that the suggestion now is to have great syn dicate of American and European capi- talists organized for the purpose of pur- chasing Cuba.
 This is the biggest news development since the first purchase proposition was 1-;,Ied last week. The financial interests of the world do not want war. They do not believe it is necessary. Probably the leading reason lies in the condition of the Spanish national debt.
 But to give reasons IS not necessary The fact is sufficient The men who

Hollow Horn and Hollow Tail.

D. A. Men. EngIewood, Fla insists that
there is such disease as "hollow horn"
and also "holow tail" He says the
symptoms arc as follows; The horn, or
horns for ~orFictmes only on one side the
horn is cold close 20 the head sunken eyes
and loss of appetite, animal grows thin and
weak" In regard to treatment he says:
''Now here is a Simple and sure cure if not
of too long standing: Take spirits Of cam

strength, put it into a bottle, then turn
the animals head TO one side ana give her
two or three spurts of it in the ear on the

Special Dispatch to The Call
 COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 23.-A ma- jority of the Senate committee to-day reported that evidence showed a con- spiracy to elect M. A. Hanna United States Senator by bribery, and that the attempt by General Boyce to bripe Representative Otis was known to Rathbone, Dick, Hanna and other workers in M. A. Hanna's interest at Columbus.
 Senator Garfield's minority report says Otis and his attorney, T. c. Camp bell, testify that Boyce disclaimed 10 them connection with Hanna's Colum- bus workers, but that he (Boyce) w1s sent. out by NeHy York parties, whose identity he refused to disclose. The testimony of Otis and Campbell, Mir. Garfield says, Is all that was given in accordance with the rules of evidence in the courts of Ohio, which the com mittee agreed to follow, but later the majority of the committee admitted hearsay testimony with a view of con- meeting MT. Hanna with the alleged crime if possible.
 Both the majority and minority re- ports review the testimony at great length. The two reports were quickly disposed of by the Senate. By a strict party vote the minority report was re- jected and the majority report adopted.

SAN JOSE, April 23.-Judge Francis B. Spencer, a prominent resident of this city and one of the best known lawyers in the State, died this evening after an illness of a month.
 Judge Spencer was born in Ticonde- roga, N. T., in 1884. His parents shortly afterward removed to Illinois, and he was educated in the public schools of Joliet He came to California at the age of IS with his parents and settled in San Jose. Young Spencer tried sheep raising and farming, and then turned his attention to medicine, his father being a prominent physician.
