Schooner St Peter

Oswego, N. Y, Oct. 27-The schooner
st. Peter foundered off Sodus Point dur

the crew were drowned 1t is impossible
TO obtain the names of the lost.
The vessel was loaded with coal from
here Tuesday and when she left there
were on board Capt. Griffin, his wife, who
acted as cook, the mate. an elderly man
from Kingston, Ont. whose name is said
to be McLauren, and French boy, who
was unable to speak English The Vessel
was owned by T. ]. Southard, of Toledo

valued at $500
The vessel was canal-bound, and when
seen off Sodus Point was coming down

tug Proctor, lying at Charlotte, took her
crew and boat in tow and started after
the vessel. They were within four miles
OF her when she foundered The Proctor

A VALUABLE VIOLIN BOW LOST
II Wns Studded With Diamonds and
Owned by Ole TheObaIdi.

New York. Oct. 27.-ole Theobaldi. a
well known solo violinist. today asked the
police to help him find violin bow which
he lost on Monday. The bow is valued at
1850, and Mr.. Theobaldi says he is will
ing to pay reward of 500 for its return.
1t is not so much because of its intrinsic
value as because of it's association that
Theobaldi feels his loss.
Theobaldi has played before nearly all
the crowned heads of Europe One night
in November. 1893. while playing in the
royal palace al st. Petersburg, at a re-
ception of the imperial family, his bow
broke, and he was forced to borrow
another The next day he received a
beautiful bow. studded with diamonds,
from NJ. Klowsky, the then mayor of St
Petersburg. The bow was of beautiful
workmanship. The diamonds alone were
worth more than $1,000. One of the dia-
monds on the extreme end was of three
karats. 1t is this bow which is now miss
ing.
Mr. Theobaldi lost the bow while COM

Our Policy in Cuba.

The apparent influence of General
Garcia may yet save the Cubans from
stupendous blunder and an exhibition
of black ingratitude that would shadow
them for all time. There is DISPOSE
ton, fostered by Gomez and especially
by Blanco and the Spanish agents and
officers. to maintain Cuban army and
make a formal demand on the Ameri-
cans for a declaration of their inten-
tions. Such a thing might lead to
very distressing condition. 1t is the
aim of Garcia to induce the Cuban SOL
diers TO disband and go home TO work
their crops They should become self
supporting. He has hope of an Ameri-
can loan for the part payment of the
army. which would enable the soldiers
10 begin life in favorable circum-
stances. Whether he will succeed is a
question, though his influence appears
TO be growing.
Several newspapers. notably the In
dianapolis News. have at last reached
the point where The Times was i'm
mediately after the appearance of Blan-
cos proclamation. We said then that
danger TO our future peaceful govern
ment of Cuba; that he was resolved 10
make all possible difficulties for our
administration by encouraging the
fears and prejudices of the Cubans
against the Americans. We urged the
President, day after day, to take active
measures for the removal of Blanco,
cost what it might. The newspapers
mentioned now repeat what The Times
has So often said, pointing out the dan
gers it then foresaw and calling on the
President to do what he should have
done within twenty-four hours after
Blanco refused to allow the free landing
of the supplies for the starving. His
inaction is amazing and ineXplicable.
Even the dilatory and long-submissive
Evacuation Commissioners. whose pro-
tests and appeals have been disregard
ed by Blanco just as they disregarded
the protests and appeals of the Cubans
seeking relief from Spanish expressions,
have repeatedly asked the President TO
send warships to Havana. The utmost
all these influences have accomplished
Is the promise of small bodies of SOL
diers, now and then, TO take the place
of Spanish troops that evacuate the
little towns.
Does the President fear Blanco? Has
he relapsed utterly into that ante-bel-
lum frame of mind in which his sympa-
thies appeared TO be with Spain? There
is no possible reason why he should
allow Blanco TO continue his robbery
of the Cubans, our wards, for the bene-
fit of Spain. Every dollar collected as
duties on imports in the past three
months belongs TO Cuba, but the Presi-
dent allows Spain to take and keep it,
How long will he permit this system
of robbery to continue? We are faith
less to Cuba in this and we make the
efforts of General Garcia more difficult
and less hopeful. In the name of JUS
tice and common sense and for the self
respect of the American people. Mr..

The uavies of England and France are not so
unequal as one would suppose in respect Of the
number of ships. Britain has eighty-six armored
ships France sixty-one. But the character Of
navy is determined by the strength Of ships and
the quality OF the men, and in those respects
the English are vastly superior. English have
been better seamen and better marksmen than
French and no doubt are still. On the other hand.
England has greater need of ships for defense.

protect her own soil and Algiers and for those
territories may largely use her army, and also
the French Congo and Madagascar. French Gu'snl

defensive work for the French. Again, the vast
British commerce would require many ships of
