PEELED took the form of feelings of SYM
patty and SORROW for the misfortune
which has occurred. The government
has expressed to Minister Woodford
the regret 1t feels at the catastrophe,
more especially as ii occurred in waters
within Spanish Jurisdiction. An admiral
in full uniform, in the name of the
minister of marine and the entire Span
ish cabinet called on General Woodford
yesterday and informed him that the
government had telegraphed to the au-
thorities in Cuba to do their utmost to
relieve the distress of the injured and to
furnish the officers and crew of the
Maine with everything which they may
need"
The Daily News, commenting on the
disaster to the Maine, says: The dis
aster reaches the very extremity of hor-
ror. The public feeling of the world.
shocked by this dire calamity, will do
we'll to initiate the restraint imposed
upon that of the United States by both
the Washington government and the
captain of the Inflated ship. For sus-
picions of foul play there seem to be abb
solutely no Warrant. though naturally
they haunt the minds of many Ameri-
cans. The attitude of Spain at this
agonizing moment will either efface the
memory of the De LONE incident for
ever or revive 1T with added circum-
stance Of bitterness and evaporation
that cannot be contemplated without a
shudder. The calamity sends a pang to
every British heart"
The Globe says: 1.-THE last serious
disaster of this nature occurring in
peace time was in 1881. when H. M. s
Petrol blew up in the Straits of Magel-
Ian. The verdict of the court was that
1t was caused by the formation of coal
gas, another suggestion being that a
substance called xerotine, a siccative,
slowed in the paint room, was RESPONSE
bic. OF the crew of $50 all except seven
were killed. In the following year an
explosion on board HI. M. s. Triumph
killed three men. In this case the dis
aster was traced to the use of the
xerotine siccative."

many persons and papers acquainted
with and bearing upon the Philippines
Whether or not there be divergent
views among the American commits

AT MANzANILLo.
Gen. Wood Arrives from Santiago on the
Gunboat Hist.

Manzanillo, Oct. 2S.-The United
States gunboat Hist arrived here this
evening, with General Leonard Wood,
commander of the military department
Of Santiago, accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Matthew Hanna General Wood
visited the barracks, hospitals, palaces,
custom house and post Office. Colonel
Petit reports that the Cuban general
Rios is apparently making every ef-
fort to prevent disbanding of his troops.
According to reports from the Cuban
assembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, Cen
eral Garcia has been chosen perman-
emit chairman of the organization. Cen
eral Gomez is expected there tomor-
row or next day. 1t appears that the
CesDedos faction believes it can count
upon the help of General Gomez to
break the authority of Garcia. The
Cespedos faction expects General Co
mez to appoint a court martial TO try
General Garcia for offenses covering
practically everything from murder to
petty larceny but the probability is
that Gen. Gomez, recognizing Garcia's
ascendancy in the assembly, will not
force an issue.

Opening Day
Of Fall Hunt.
SPORT VERY DULL,
But Day Was Superb and
Good Fellowship Royal

In spite of tho fact that two foxes
were killed the magnificent day and
the royal, unbounded, good fellowship
which was to be found everywhere
were the two things that prevented ths
opening day OF the annual two days
hunt Of the Worcester Fur Company,
yesterday, from being a failure.
1t has been many years since days
hunt has brought forth so little driv-
ing and such small amount of sport
as far as hunting is eoncerned There
have been many hunts when no brush
was secured, but the music of the
hounds has filled the hunters with de-
light from early morning unAiI dark
ness fell. and every one has returned
feeling that the hunt was a great one.
Yesterday the drives were few and
ltnlmport4nt, the baying OF the hounds
was seldom more than Intermittent.
and very few of the fifty or more hunt
ers who We're in the field had any op-
portunity TO get nervous for fear fox
would come their way. Yet no hunt,
held on such a superb autumn day as
was yesterday, and In company with
suoh splendid, whole-souled crowd of
Fellows as assembled, could be a fail

days when to be out, to feel the crisp

tuPe with delight
No more perfect day could have been
! secured and the conditions could not
| have been more favorable A heavy
/ frost hung to the earth well along into
the morning. and the conditions for
running were good all day. The only
reason for lack Of driving must be as
signed TO the fact that the foxes are
either scarce in the vicinity or they
1 have been killed off in large numbers.
To be sure, the number OF dogs was
hardly up to the average, but there
were hounds enough, and some of the
best to be found. Both foxes were
| killed early in the morning. The first
shot by Arthur o. Allen one of the
youngest hunters in the field and a
member Of the Fur Company, was not

ond, Killed by Everett Walling, was
making splendid run, and there was
some excitement before he was finally
stopped, but none of the hunters saw
the fun.
The party missed, sadly, the vim and
enthusiasm of President Thayer II
he had been present, he would have
never allowed the crowd to assemble at
the ''shoemakers" 80 early in the morn

THE BAY STATE.
Hospital Ship Reaches Bos-
ton With Sick Soldiers.

Boston. Oct. 2S.-Into the harbor this
afternoon came the hospital ship Bay
State with 11S Of the sick and conval-
escent soldiers of the 9Th Massachu-
sets volunteers from Porto Rico.
Besides the boys OF the 9Th, 20 of the
first regiment Of volunteer engineers
were on the ship. Two of the 9Th died
on the passage from Arecibo. They
we're Sergeant william E. Walter, Co.
e, birmingham; Paul T. French, Co.
c, Milford. French died Of typhoid fe-
Yer on October "a, two days out from
Arecibo. His body was buried at sea.
Sergeant Walter succumbed to a spinal
disease on Wednesday, and his body
was inclosed in a caSket and brought
to this port. Some pretty sick men
We're on the Bay State.
Just 20 of the 9Th regiment were car
ried from the ship on stretohers and
sent to the various hospitals. Twelve
of the first regiment of volunteer engi-
neers and one member of the 9th Unit
ed States artillery were also sent to
the hospitals, but most Of them were
so disposed of because they had no
place to go tonight. They will be al
lowed to go to their homes in New
York and Pennsylvania tomorrow, as
The Bay State left San Juan on Fri
day of last week and Arecibo the next
day. She would probably have arrived
at the same time as the Mississippi,
which brought the 6th regiment to Bos-
ton Thursday, had she not besn delayed
by the trip to Arecibo. They are still
81 of the 9Th regiment in Porto Rico.
They are in the hospital at Utuado.
The Volunteer Aid Association was
looking for the Bay State from the
time of the Mississippis arrival. All
the police and hospital ambulances
were at the wharf to meet the ship,
and there was also a large crowd Of
people. A number of physicians with
the ambulance corps, M. V. NJ, were
there to direct the removal of the men.
AS they came from the ship the over
coats were given them.
Governor Roger Wolcott and Adju-
tant General Dalton were on hand be-
fore the Bay State drew into the dock,
the governor being the first to board
her The work of removing the sick
began at once, but it was after dark
before the last man was taken ashore.
Thirty-six men, whose condition was
the most serious were sent to the var
ious hospitals, the others going to their
homes in various parts of the state.
DR. Burrill, who was the medical Off
Ger in charge Of the Bay State, said, af-
ter the men had all been landed: I'VE
left q men behind at Utuado because
they We're too i'll to stand the trip.
They are, however, improving rapidly,
and are out of danger. We have only
lost five men on three voyages and have
brought 400 men home safely"

Will Bring the
Soldier Dead
TO MASSACHUSETTS
Mayor Dickinson Of Spring
field Receives Good News.

Congressman F. H. Gillett. who was
asked by the mayor and citizens OF
both Worcester and Springfield to
make arrangements, if possible, with
the navy department at Washington
for transportation to Cuba to bring
back the dead Of the I'd regiment,
wrote letter which was received yes
terday by Mayor Dickinson of SPRING
field.
The steamship Solace, which is now
in Cuban waters, will be placed at the
disposal of the Massachusetts people
for the desired purpose if Secretary
Long can so arrange matters. The sec
rotary will not make any promises,
but he will bear the matter in mind
and notify Congressman Gillett as soon
as possible.
If the Massachusetts party goes on
the Solace, they will be obliged to make
arrangements to get their own meals
either by engaging a caterer or max
ing arrangements with the captain of
the ship. The governments viii not
provide food for the party. The letter
follows:
Hon Henry S Dickinson, Mayor Of
Springfield, Mass:
My Dear Sir-I had a talk with Sec
rotary Long yesterday about bringing
back the dead of the I'd regiment, and
as / am just going to New Hampshire
to do a little stamping, 1 write you the
result now.
He says that he is not certain when
the Solace will come back from its
present trip to Cuba but probably will
in two or three weeks. That is the
only suitable vessel he has for our
purpose; but he says that after its re-
turn he will endeavor to let us have
it again for our expedition, although
he cannot promise it; and he viii bear
it in mind ana let as know unless,
meanwhile, we make other arrange
ments. He says it viii be necessary
for the party, if they go on the Solace,
to make arrangements for meals either
by engaging a caterer or by making
an arrangement with the captain,
which latter course ] should think
would be better; but the government
cannot provide us food.
AS soon as / hear any more from him
l will communicate with you and shall
see you soon. Yours very truly,

BATTLEsHlP MAINE.
A San Francisco Company Make Re-
quest to Raise it.


Washington, Oct 2S-The Acme
Wrecking Company of San Francisco
has made a request upon the navy de-
partment for authority to raise the bat
tleship Maine.
1t proposes TO blow the mud from
under the wreck by means of streams
of water, and then to pass under chains
and attach them to framework connect
ed with a system of steel barrels. These
barrels will also be placed in the wreck
and utilized wherever they can be made
available The company simply asks
authority to raise the Maine and bring
her to this country If the governs
ment wants the ship after she reaches
the United States. the company will
want to be paid salvage money through
condemnation proceedings. 1t is prob
able that in case the government did
NOT want the ship. the company would
exhibit her in different large seacoast
cities of the United States. No money
is demanded from the government by
the company. 1t is stated at the depart
ment, unofticiaAly that in case the COM
pany is found reliable, the authority
asked for will no doubt be given.
