THREE VESSELS ASHORE.
4 Combination of Fog and Northeast Gale Proving Disastrous to
 Shipping-NO Lives Lost.

Highland Light. Mass, May As tEo result of foggy weather and a brisk northerly gale, three schooners lie stranded on Cape Cod. Their crews escaped. The large three-mast- ed schooner Alice B. Philips, of New Haven, went ashore at two o'clock near Race Point. The schooner Rob- ert Byron is on the beach at Crow Hill, just west of Race Point life-saving sta- ton. Both schooners are well upon the shore.
 The three-masted schooner Helena, from a Maine port, for the south, with cargo of fish scraps, struck on Peaked Hill Bars. She was in a bad position, especially as the force of the gale and sea is increasing.
 The life-savers of the Race Point and Peaked Hill stations have gone to the wrecks.

 VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION.
Tho Fidelity Building and Savings Union of Indianapolis Ia Going

Indianapolis. Ind, May 1.-The Fi- delity Building and Savings union has gone into voluntary liquidation. Pres- ident l. B. Patton says all claims may be paid in full if the intervention of the court is not sought by the stock holders. Withdrawals aggregating $i3, ,000 are IS months overdue, and the revenues of the company are decreas- ing. The union has been retrenching and not seeking to increase it's busi- ness since 1897, and the announcement of voluntary liquidation is not unex- pccted in building association cir cies. The Fidelity was organized in 1889, and soon had S5,0oo,o00 of stock in force. It paid large dividends, as b.gh as 20 per cent. it is related, to early members

Vera Cruz, Mex. May 4.-Pearson & Son, the great English contractors, who have the harbor works in hand, have decided to take possession of the Tchauntepec National railway in Au- gust, when they will begin operating it. They are obliged, by their con- tract, to build the harbor at Salina Cruz, on the Pacific side of the isth- mus. The road is in such condition as will necessitate many repairs, and as there are 322 bridges, mostly of wood, on the line, they will have to be replace with steel structures. It is now believed that frst-class road across the isthmus will be had. It was their line which Huntington wished to purchase. and had it passed into his hands it would have doubtless long ago been put in excellent condi. tion

Washington, May 1.-The following cablegram has been received from Ad- miral Dewey:
 Manila. May 3.-Secretary Navy, Washington: The following are the Yorktown prisoners at insurgent head quarters at San Isidro: Lieut.. Gilmore, Chief Quartermaster Wm. Walton, sailors mate, Paul Vandoit; coxswain, John Ellsworth; landsman, Sylvio Biisolese; landsman, Paul Edwards, and landsman, Fred Anderson. Pro- visions have been sent to them by Gen. Otis. Am continuing inquiries as to the fate of the other seven"
 The names of the men unaccounted for, with such data relative to their enlistment, nativity and kin, as the records of the navy department show, are as follows:

 II is said at the navigation bureau that there is every reason to believe that these missing sailors are not dead, or at least not all of them. The naval officers here believe that some of the Yorktown's crew succeeded in making their way into the lines of the Spanish garrison at Baler, where they would be we'll treated. Admiral Dew. ey is now striving to get into commu. nscation with the garrison at Baler.

HARD TO GET.
The Girls Were Learning to Make Hair Flowers and They
 Wanted White.

A venerable white-haired clergyman re- gently preached in the church of friend. He had hardly got back to the vicarage from the church when the door bell rang and a young lady asked to see him. He re- ceived her. They talked about the sermon and other things, until finally she asked, ditidently:
 "Oh, won't you please give me lock of your hair?"
 Certainly, my child" said the old gentle, man, tattered at the request. "Ill send 1t to you tomorrow" And he did.
 On his return to his own home he had five more requests of the same kind, and he proudly boasted to his wife that he was glad to see that he had not yet lost his power to please. All went well until his wife received this note:
 Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please ask your husband to send me just little lock of his hair? We have all been taking lessons in making hair flowers So many of the other girls asked him, and he sent 1t to them, that thought I would rather ask you to get 1t for me. Won't you please do this for me. It is so hard to get white hair for lilies of the valley"
 This was a terrible blow, and the less now, said about locks of hair in that old gentieman's presence the better-Cincin. nati Enquirer.

alIH DIGNITY.
That Would Conditions the United stae. id Not Countc- nance-The EnNoss Admit that they Represent Aguinaido En- stead of Gen. Luna.

Manila, May 3, 10 p. m.-There was a conference lasting two hours to-day between Maj.-Gen. E. $. Otis and the envoys who came here from Gen. An tonic Luna, bearing a proposal for cessation of hostilities.
 Gen. Otis adhered to his refusal to recognize the so-called government of the insurgents.
 Ask n Three Montbs' Truce.
 The Filipinos now ask for a truce of three months, to enable Aguinaldo to summon the congress and consult with the insurgent leaders on others of the islands. The envoys admitted the contention of Gen. Otis that Agui- naldo has little control over affairs outside of the island of Luzon.
 The Spanish Prisoner Question.
 The question of the release of Span ish prisoners in the hands of the Fili- pinos was mentioned, and Maj. Manuel Arguelles, the chief member of the deputation, said that he considered them as being in the same category with the Americans, the United States being the successor of Spain in do- mjnion over the island, and acquiring by treaty all Spanish rights and obli- cations.
 After the close of the conference with Gen. Otis, the Filipino envoys hac consultation with the United States Philippine commissioners. Admit They Represent Aguinaido.
 Manila, May 3, p. m.-The Filipino cuvoys, Maj. Manuer Arguelles and Lieut.. Jose Bernal, have abandoned the pretense under which they came to Gen. Otis that they represented nounced that they came as representa- tiyes of Aguinaldo himself
 Gen. Otis is Cautious.
 The two emissaries used all their wiles to secure reply from Gen. Otis to the letter from Senor Mabini, Agui- nGldo's prime minister and minister of foreign affairs in the dictator's cab inet, which they presented to Gen. Otis yesterday, but Gen. Otis refused to make any reply, on the ground that to do so would be equivalent to a recognition of the so-called govern uent of the Filipinos.
 Want Peace With Dignity.
 Maj. Arguelles said that Aguinaldo knew he would be overpowered in time, but that he would be able to continue the fight for months, and that he would do so unless he were given what Maj. Arguelles termed peace with dignity.
