Manila. Nov. 14.-Further details re-
garding the grounding of the United
States cruiser Charleston show that
she struck on an uncharted coral
reef ten miles east of Kamaguin island.
Her stern was almost submerged and
her bow almost out of water. a heavy
sea was on and the cruiser began roll
ing violently. The water tight doors
Were quickly closed, but were stove in
under the engine compartment, the
largest of the ship.
After the first efforts to right her the
officers feared she might slide off be-
cause of the heavy sea and they aban-
dOned the attempt to save her. They
hurried to the launches and boats and
rOwed away, prepared to fight for 4
landing with two Colt guns. 134 rifles
and ten days rations. Some Of the Of
fcers and men were dressed only in
pajamas and their underclothing. The
breech blocks of the cannon were re-
moved before the boats put off Two
hours after the Charleston struck all
had gotten away. The report that the
crew remained two days on the vessel
is inaccurate. The party returned two
days later. but found it impossible TO
save anything.

GOALS TO NEWCASTLE
Peru Nay Come so Amer;Ca 10 Secure
Display.

Buffalo, Nov .14.-When one thinks of
ancient Peru the bygone glorfes of the
romantic country are Immediately con-
jured up and the memory drifts back
to the days of untold gold and glory
before the spaniards came and de-
stroyed. One thinks of the Incas and
the pack trains laden with gold and
gems and of the relics and antiquities
with which the country is thought to
abound.
But knowledge puts a different phase
upon it and the facts learned recently
by Special South American Commits
sioner William Eleroy Curtiss when
travelling through that country in the
interests of the Pan-American exposi-
ton will no doubt prove astonishing to
many.
Mr.. Curtiss, who landed in Peru some
few weeks ago, went there in the hope
of Persuading the Peruvian govern
ment to make at the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo in 1901 a grand dis
play Of the antiquities of the country.
But when he voiced his desires Senior
Edouardo Lopez de Romano, the newly
elected president, informed him that if
the exposition really desired to make a
comprehensive and magnificent display
of Peruvian antiquities the place to
secure it was either in New York or
Chicago. Mr.. Romano said that the
Field museum at Chicago, the museum
of natural history Of New York, the
Peabody museum of Boston, the Ma
tional museum of Washington. the Ma
tional Exploration society and the
University of Pennsylvania are all
possessed of much finer Peruvian dis
plays than the country itself can boast.
These great Institutes have sought
for many years for antiquities in Peru
and have bought up all the collections
that native students were able to Sc
cure and the Pan-American can best
secure its Peruvian display of antiqui-
ties by interesting home associations.
Peru, however. so President Romano
informed Mr.. Curtiss, will be in the
very fore at the coming fair and she
viii make a magnificent mineral dis
play and will use her influence to have
some of the American collections of
antiquities set up in her section in con-
nection with her own exhibit.

MEXICO OF TO-DAY.
Marcial Tells Something
of His Country.

New York, Nov. 14.-In a paper on
the Mexico of Today" which will ap
pear in the forthcoming issue of the
Independent. Vice President Marcial
says: For 300 years she has produced
one third of all the silver that was
mined. The production at present is
more than s6O,OOOO0O. Mexico expects
to supply the world with $10O.OOO,O 900 of
silver per annum soon"
The writer further says: 1T viii
not do for Americans who do not un-
derstand the language or habits of the
people to go to Mexico to live. unless
they have some employment. Ameri-
can laborers are much superior in skill
to those of Mexico, but you can hire
from eight to ten men for IS American
money which you pay an American
miner per day. Ordinarily American
labor cannot go to Mexico and compete
with Mexican labor"

DEPARTMENT nYSTifIED
Unable TO Explain Dispatch Hiniin
al Strange Diplomatic DoingS.

Washington. Nov. II Officials here
are at a loss to know what was meant
by the mysterious London dispatch rel
ative to AngIo-American relations as to
China, which was of such a startling
character that it could not be pub
lished. It is stated that there is moth
ing under consideration in this line at
present between Great Britain and the
United States that can be said to be of
a sensational character.
The government is not averse to hav-
ing it known broadly that it has been
steadily engaged in negotiations look
ing to the maintenance of whatever
rights in the matter of trade that we
now enjoy in Chinese ports. The Off
cials do not care to go into details
while the negotiations are still in
progress. but it is expected that the
subject will be made the basis of a
special message to congress by the
president. 1t is gathered that our gov
ernmsnt is not likely to encounter any
serious opposition to what it regards as
its perfectly reasonable effort to secure
from the European powers interested
formal assurances in confirmation of
verbal statements already made; that
the way for American trade in China
will be kept open in the event of a
retention of the existing concessions
and Ieaseholds.
Nothing has been heard from France
on this subject as yet. though it is as
sumed that the returning ambassador,
NJ. Cambon, will bear some instruc-
tions on that subject.

AFFAIRS IN CU6R
Thee Are Prosperous, AC CoTding 20
Director uf Posts Ra,hbons

Washington, Nov. 14.-E. C. Rath-
bone. director Of posts for Cuba, is in
the city. He came from New York last
night, where he has been quite i'll for
nearly TWO weeks with acute gastritis.
Mr.. Rathbone comes to Washington to
confer with the postmaster-generaI re-
ga~ding the postal service in Cuba. To
a reporter this afternoon Mr.. Rathbone
said:
Affairs in Cuba are prosperous. The
people are catching up in their busi-
ness. slowly to be sure, but there. is an
air of contentment and a feeling of
security among the people that has
not been known before. They trust the
Americans implicitly. Our money or
der system is the best evidence of that.
Why, since we took possession of the
island a business of over $40, ,O0O,G coo in
money orders alone has been done
You know we have a domestic system
there. and it has proven a great bless
ing to the people. Under Spanish rule
it cost anywhere from per cent to 10
per cent to send money over the island.
Our charges are one-third of one per
cent. Under Spanish rule there was
never any certainty that the postmaster
upon whom the money order was drawn
would pay the same. On every hand
hear expressions of grateful thanks
giving for the Americans. The men of
property and all the Spanish and busi-
ness men want annexation with the
United States. The crops this year
have been good, although the recent
storm in one of the provinces did a
great deal of damage"
Several reports have connected Major
Rathbone's mission with the civil gov
ernorship of the island, and three lead
ing Havana papers have indorsed him
for that post. While the plans un-
doubtedly contemplate a general con-
ference on the constitution of affairs in
Cuba, Major Rathbone said he knew
nothing about the civil governor ap-
pointment beyond the newspaper re
ports.

nounced that the troopships Britannia,
Linsmore Castle and Yorkshire arrived

chartered the White Star steamer Ma

with which the officials heard of the ar

That there is lnucn more business be-
