EVERY SAILOR IS SAVED
Grew of the Lawrence Suffered
Frightful Hardships.
ON A DESOLATE SAND SPIT
Almost Impossible to Keep From Freez-
ing in the Binding Snow Storm
Without Any Food Since
Sunday Morning.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 15.-Every men,
Der OF the crew of the wrecked steamer
William Lawrence has been saved but
only after the greater number of them
had suffered terrible hardships. The
tugs Cambria and Cynthia came in this
evening from the Sea islands and South
Carolina, bringing with them Cantaiu
A. l.. Willis and 10 men, constituting
those who had been missing since Sun
day morning, when the ship was aban
doned in the breakers off Port Royal
bar. The tug Cambria left the city at
daybreaS this morning and searched
every island and inlet nortnward until
the castaways We're found.
At 8 o'clock the party were discovered
on hunting island and taken on board
the Cambria. Captain Willis and his
men suffered but little less than the
crew of Mate Beale's boat, which had
been tied up at the sea buoy, as told in
last nights dispatches. They left the
ship at o'clock Sunday morning. AT
ter II hours at sea in binding and
freezing gale, the two boats under the
captain and the first officer made land

We're smashed and the menAthrown INTO
the surf. Though almost exhausted and
numb, they managed to scramble be-
yond the reach of the waves What
little brackish drinking water they had
was lost, together with the biscuits,
brought from the wreck. There was no
fresh water and extremely little fuel
on the island There was no shelter of
any kind. The captain had a few
matches in metallic box in his pocket
They were found to be dry Tearing
the seats out of the wrecked boats. af-
ter much coaxing, a fire was made un-
der the lee of the sand dune. The linz
ited fuel kept the men from freezing
to death. The men hovered over the
little blaze all during the sleet and snow
storm of Sunday night and Monday
when the mercury was marking eight
to ten above zero.
On Tuesday morning one of the boa ts
wac temporarily repaired and both
crews got into 1t to try to reach Port
Royal. They mad been without food
since Sunday morning and without wat
er SINCE Sunday afternoon. After pain
full efforts, they reached Hunting ISL
and. Some soldiers We're stationed Inere.
They took them in and fed and watered
them. Captain Willis says that at the
time the chip struck, the weather was
so thick that he could not see half the
length of tie ship. He said also that
something was wrong with his COM
pass and that the ship was somewhat
out of her course. Captain Willis has
been in the service of the company for
20 years.

IN THE SENATE.
McEnery Denies That His Resolution
Was Inspired by Sugar Growers.


Was Inspired by Sugar Growers.
Washington. Feb. 15.-In the senate
today Mr.. McEnery of Louisiana, as
a question of personal privilege, made
emphatic denial of the statement that
his resolution adopted by the senate
yesterday was introduced in the interest
OF the sugar growers of Louisiana. He
said that he had not consulted the
planters about the resolution and that
as matter of fact they We're known
to be opposed as a body to the ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty. A bill ex-
tending the cordial Appreciation of
congress to Miss Helen Miller Gould
for her patriotic services during the re-
cent war and providing that the presi-
dent should present her with a gold
medal was passed. After the executive
session an effort was made to obtain an
agreement to hold an evening session
to read the Alaska code bill, but it
failed.
When the senate opened, a bill was
reported from the military affairs COM
mittee and passed, extending the ap-
probation of congress to Helen Miller
Gould. for patriotic service during the
late war and providing that gold med
al be presented to her by the president
The postoffice appropriation bill was re-
ported and Mr.. Quay gave notice that
he would call it up for consideration
tomorrow. A bill was passed provid-
viding for admission to the naval acad-
emy as cadet Of Oscar w. Diegnan, one
of the Merrimac heroes Senator Cullom,
Sewall and Teller We're named as con-
ferees on the legislative appropriation
bill.
Mr.. McEnery of Louisiana rose to a
question of personal privilege. Dur
ing the debate on his resolution yester-
day. some statements were made with
respect to changes i'll the resolutions.
after it was introduced, That would
seem to reflect upon Mr.. McEnery.
Mr.. Lindsay of Kentucky had said that
upon examination he had found that it
was not the same resolution he had
supposed Mr., MeIsnery was going to Of
fer.
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina had
said that the resolution had been
amended all out of shape
Mr.. NcEnesy raid the resolution had
been in his possession for some time,
but nu material changes had been made
in II. The changes made We're only
such as were required to make it con-
form to the conditions when he of
fered it. There certainly, he said. was
no ground for the statement of Mr.,
Tillman. He further said when Mr..
Hoar made this atement yesterday
the resolution was introduced because
the sugar planters of Louisiana were
afraid of the sugar competition of the
Philippines, he spoke under a misap-
prehension. The sugar planters, as 4
body, We're opposed to the ratification
CT the treaty. He said he had not con-
suited them with reference to his vote

A STRIKE THREATENED.
Affairs in Havana Will Be Brought to a
Crisis.


New York Feb. 15.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: A strike
which will involve 5000 to $500 long
shoremen and stevedores is Threatened,
and should it come the authorities fear
that 1t will bring Cuban affairs to an
early crisis. The men are desperate and
ugly and strikes in the past have invari-
ably resulted in serious bloodshed. AS
the strikers will be largely Cuban, it
can readily be seen that a collision be-
tween them and the American soldiers
would have most serious consequences,
coming at this time, when each side
views the other with suspicion. The
'longshoremen have been working IA
hours day for an average pay of rs
in Spanish silver. They demand So for
10 hours day and will probably make
trouble if their demands are not met
The men fear and respect General
Ludlow and he may be able to prevent
the strike. which now seems inevitable
General Ludlow compelled the Western
railroad last week to deal fairly with
the engine drivers, who struck, and the
men believe he will now right their
wrongs. On the other hand, General
Ludlow has said that rioting would not
be tolerated and even the Cubans who
most dislike the American general know
that he could not be bluffed and are
slow to give him cause to call upon his

Washington, Feb. 15.-The afternoon
meeting of the Wonen's council was
the most largely attended as vet and
was devoted to the consideration of the
important questions of arbitration and
disarmament. All of the speakers took
ground in favor of arbitration and most
OF them were for speedy disarmament

declared that the Spanigh war was sim
ply matter of brute force and settled

Will Eight to the End.

Montreal, Feb. 15,-senor Agoncillo,
in an interview to-day, said there
would be no let-up in the efforts of the
Filipinos to force the Americans from
their country. He said he was not at
all surprised that Iloilo had fallen, as
the Americans had the advantage of a
fleet.
But wait until they get in the in
terror" he said, "and then they will
have more than their work cut OUT
He announced that the purpose of
Senior Iuna's departure was to inter-
view the different countries of Europe
and ask for their assistance for the
Filipinos.

THE VESSEL DOOMED.
All the Passengers on the Admiral Dewey
Safely Landed.

Boston, Feb. 15.-The Boston Fruit
company's new steamer Admiral
Dewey, Captain McGrath, bound from
Port Antonio, jamaica to this port
ran on the rocks at Cuttyhunk at 4:2O
O'Clock this morning and is in great
danger of being a total wreck. The Is
passengers on board were safely trans
ferred to the steamer j. j. Hill, which
came this afternoon, and with their
baggage and the mails, were taken to
Newport, r. l., from which point they
were brought to this city Tonight. Cap
tain McGrath and the officers and crew
of the vessel still remain ON board and
every effort will be made to save the
vessel, but as she lies in very exposed
position and with a large hole in her
bottom, any severe blow from the
southeast will undoubtedly cause her to
go to pieces.

BROUGHT TO TIME.
Government Pleased at the Outcome in
= ---r' Samoa.

'-rt[ Samoa
washington. Feb. 15.-Officials here
are greatly pleased that the German
government has acted so promptly in
bringing it's overzealous officials in Apia
to adopt a more reasonable course and
it is noted with satisfaction that the
news dispatches speak of the retraetion
by yGerman Consul Rose from his former
untenable position respecting the func-
ions ofthe chief justice. It was regret
ted that neither the United States gov
ernment nor that of Great Britain could
see the way clear to protect the German
resident Greismuhl from the conse-
quences of his folly in making an at
tack upon the premises of the court
for this would have amounted in some
degree to a denial of the jurisdiction OF
the chief justice and one of the first
and most sacred rights of the legal tri-
bunal, according to American and Brit
ish ideas--namely. the right to punish
contempt. Therefore. the attitude Of
the German government in recognizing
the amenability of an American to pun
ish is welcome.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.
Annexation of the Islands and Disarm-
ment of the Natives.

London, Feb. 16.--The Melbourne corre-
spondent of the Times says: The Samoan
correspondent of the Argus writes that
the only solution of the difficulties there
lies in an immediate annexation of the
islands by Great Britain. He says the
natives throughout the entire group are
almost unanimously favorable to such a
step, and that it is also ardently desired
by the British and American residents.
Failing annexation, the complete disarm-
ing of the whole population Is imperative,
and. in the opinion of the correspondent
of the Argus, the abolition of the kingshp
is absolutely necessary to prevent serious
disturbances. The rival chiefs. he believes
would be satisfied if appointed to rule
their own districts at small salaries.

The Year Of 1900 VIII Sot he q Leap
Year.

Tho Year Of 1900 VIII Soi he Leap
Year.
The Oklahoma girls who dgure on
1900 being leap year will be dlsap |
pointed. for IL Is fact that that 1900 /
not a leap year. People get into the
habit Of looking for leap year every |
four years 10 Ia commonly supposed
that the year has sos I days and that
therefore the addition OF one day every
four years exactly accounts for the
fraction Of a day. This Is not true.
There will not be a man or woman
now living who viii ever see year
divlsible by 4 which will not be a leap
I year. The exception will not occur
/ again until 2i0O. The explanation for
I this Is as follows
By adding every year l,I for the
I fraction of a day-that is one day
every four years o. too much % added
The length OF year Is 3d5 days,
hours, 81 minutes aud as seconds.
Expressed Ia dec mails. the year is
l65 .2f226t2. Then when % hours. or
.25 Of day, are added, ~ plus seconds,
or .OO7735s Of day, too much are add
ed every year In 100 years ~ plus
hours are added too much 10 rectify
this error day 10 dropped every 100
years. To drop one day every 100
years, when only ~ plus hours are
added too much, 10 90 drop day too
much every 400 years Therefore every
400 years the day Is retained which
makes the rule for leap years 30 bc de-
visible by 4 except years ending In
ciphers, which must be devisible
by 400. Therefore the arst iesp
year following 1896 will be
1904, making lapse Of eight
years between leap years. And as has
been said no living man will ever see
lapse of eight years between leap
years for this viii not occur again till
Else 90 1905 A D. However. this does
not account for small fraction which
amounts 90 n day in 1000 years -Four
thousand. 5000, etc, are not leap
years This is correct until 20 900 h
reached. which is another exception
