NEW ENGLAND BLIZZARD


The blizzard OF five days ago on the
New England coast, which for n brief
space paralized business on the land,
wrought terrible havoc on the sea. From
present reports it is known that fifty six
vessels have been totally wrecked, while
forty nine are ashore with hardly chanc Q
of being saved. OF the fifty six totally
wrecked, barges not included, forty three
craft aggregate l2,2O2 gross tonnage. Of
those in perilous positions twenty eight
aggregate 1859 tons. The loss Of property
will count up in the hundreds Of thou
sands. while the death list foots up more
than 200, and yet all the returns are not
in. The sufferings Of the survivors of a
winter wreck in the northern lattitudes
are terrible. II they escape with life
they are usually badly frozen and perma-
nently disabled.
Another storm, with heavy snowfall,
struck the coast Thursday from New
York to Canada, and has done great
the amount of which has not yet
been scertaincd.

Havana, Nov. 3O.-Genera Portundo.
president of the Cuban assembly, and OF
all the prominent Cubans the most in
sympathy with the United States, confirms
the Lacret statement regarding the atti-
tude of the Cuban army. He said to me
last night that even should the plebiseite
OF the Cuban people result in vote bv u
majority for annexation, the revolutionary
party will not accept that decision, but
still claim absolute independence "Ifthe
United States shows disposition to com
bat that claim, we can only take the
woods again. Ofcourse with the resources
and power Of America we would not last
month but we will die fighting for that
Independence for which we have so long
struggled. Personally, / believe annex
alton would be the best solution of the
problem, and also that annexation will.
after time, come, but now we shall and
must haye established that Cuban repub-
lie 20 long the object Of our Dreams
ocHcbWi I OTtHUuO bolu mo LHat, while
not giving the statement as authoritative.
he believes that full understanding had
been arrived at between the American
government aud the Cuban leaders. The
United States would retain troops in the
island, maintaining o protectoratc with q
power Of veto on laws passed by the Gu
ban representatives.
The Cuban government would be organ
lied as nominally Independent, but under
control Of the United States. General
Portundo frankly stated that while such
was the probable course of events, any in
tervention in Cuban affairs or attempt to
control the government would be bitterly
resented by the Cubans, and would prob
ably lead to the disavowal of the authority
OF the United States and the taking up of
arms against them.
