RUNS ASHORE ON THE DREADED
MANACLES.
Vessel May be Saved-Cargo all Res
cued-Perfect Order When Steamer
Struck-Heavy Fog at Time.

FALMOUTH, May 22.-The American
line steamer Paris, Captain Watkins,
from southampton and Cherbourg for
New York, struck on an outlying ridge
on the Manacles early yesterday morn
ing at point half a mile from where
the wrecked Atlantic transport liner
Mohegan lies, and five miles from Fal-
mouth. The Paris, which sailed from
southampton Saturday, called at Cher
bourg and picked up fifty passengers.
She left Cherbourg at O'clock that
evening. Soon after l o'clock yesterday
morning at high tide and in a mist she
ran ashore. From the first there was
no danger. Life boats and tugs were
soon literally swarfning around the YES
sci rendering assistance. A majority of
the passengers. who numbered $50, were
brought to Falmouth, where they OBJ
tanned lodgings for the night.
The first intimation of the vessel
striking the rocks was a slight grating
sound, which was followed by a second
and more pronounced shock. The look
out shouted that there was something
looming ahead, but before there was
time to reverse the engines, the ship
had gone on the rocks, 200 yards from
shore. Assistance was summoned by
means of rockets and the coast guards
promptly telephoned to the life saving
station for boats.
A majority of the passengers were not
aware that an accident had happened
until they We're called up by the stew
ards. On reaching the deck they found
the ships boats in perfect readiness for
their reception The sea was perfectly
calm, and the only discomfort that the
passengers experienced was caused by
the slight rain that was falling at the
time. Owing to the calmness of the ssa
the boats could be managed with entire
safety.
Perfect order prevailed aboard the
vessel Captain Watkins stood on the
bridge giving orders, and his perfect
elf-possession and calmness of de-
meanor had a reassuring effect upon the
passengers.
The cargo is being transferred rapid
y, and the vessel herself may me float

SUBSCRIBING FOR DEWEY.

NEW YORK. May 2O.-The Brooklyn
Eagle this evening says: mot only has
the Admiral Dewey house fund become
a matter of national interest, but 1t
looks now as if there would be friendly
rivalry among the cities of the Union
as to the number of subscribers that
would be placed upon the roll, which
will be handed to Admiral Dewey when
the presentation is made. Every city
has taken a sort of pride in pushing the
subscription along. The old civic pride
for Brooklyn is apparent, for the mere
mention of the fact that San Francisco
had up to this day subscribed $150S sent
Brooklyn subscriptions bounding up, so
that they now top those of the city of
the Golden Gate. 1t is apparent that
the Brooklyn borough is not going to be
beaten by San Francisco in this pa
triotic enterprise, and letters which
have been received show that strong
feeling of rivalry exists"

MSI TRANSPORT NZOA NRM Government GENERAL Grant NN& N The LINER PARIS THIS
WHAT M'KINLEY OFFERS THE
FILIPINOS.
Professor Schurman Submits the Unit
ed States Scheme to the Filipino
Commissioners.

MANILA, May %, 3:15 p. m.-Pro-
fessor Schurman, head of the United
States Philippine Commission, has
submitted the following written pro-
positions to the Filipinos:
'While the final decision as to the
form of government is in the hands of
the Congress, the President, under his
military powers, pending the action
of Congress, stands ready to offer the
following form of government:
"a Governor-General to be appoint
ed by the President; Cabinet tc be
appointed by the Governor-Geueral;
all the judges to be appointed by the
President; the heads of departments
and judges to be either Americans or
Filipinos or both, and also general
advisory council, its members to be
chosen by the people by form of
suffrage to be hereafter carefully de-
termined upon.
"The President earnestly desires
that bloodshed cease and that the peo-
pie of the Philippines, at an early
date, enjoy the largest measure of
self-government compatible with
peace and order"
The United States Commission pre-
pared the scheme and the President
cabled his approval of the form of
the document. The Filipinos have
made no definite proposition except
for cessation of hostilities until they
can present the question of peace to
the people. Professor Schurman told
the Filipinos that they had no means
of gathering the people together, as
the Americans control most of the
ports. lie also reminded them that a
liberal form of government was offer
ed them, and pointed out that it was
better than the conditions existing un-
der Spanish rule.
Gozaga, president of the Filipino
Commission, replied that nothing
could be worse than Spanish rule and
admitted that the form of government
proposed was liberal.
The civilian members of the Filipino
Commission have declined to cooper
ate with the other members of that
commission, as the former consider
Aguinaldo's latest demand to be pre-
posterous, after General Otis refusal
of an armistice, referring to his wish
for time in order to consult the Fill
pino Congress.

ELDEST SON OF PRESIDENT U. S.
GRANT.
on His Way to the Philippines to Take
Charge of a Brigade-Says Some Nice
Things of Honolulu.

Brigadier- General Fred Grant is OH
the transport Sherman on his way to
the Philippines, where he will have
charge of 1000 men in the campaign
against Aguinaldo. The Sixth regular
infantry, also on the Sherman, will be
a part of his brigade.
AS is well known here General Grant
is the eldest son of the late General and
President u. S. Grant. His home is in
New York City, where he and his family
hold a very high social position. A
younger brother, u. S. Grant, Jr., a resi-
dent of California, is known personally
by many Island people.
1T is a coincidence of my life," said
General Grant this morning, that 1
reached the prettiest city 1 ever saw in
my life on my forty-nineth birthday.
Yes, was born on Memorial Day and
was forty-nine this morning.
What | have just said about Homo
lulu ] mean. Really l was never more
surprised in a city in my life. This
morning / took a carriage and drove
all over it. l have been in Cuba and in
Porto Rico. For several months l had
command of the troops that held about
half of Porto Rico, and during that me
had the opportunity of seeing all of the
towns. Most frankly l say that l con-
slider Honolulu far ahead of any of
them, in point of natural and artificial
beauty an1 cleanliness.
Yes, many of the streets are narrow
and some are trifle crooked; but you
know, there is a, quaintness about them
that stranger will observe far sooner
than residents. One little patch of your
tropical scenery in New York would at
tract more attention and admiration
than the greatest show on earth"
General Grant is a man of about five
feet, eight or nine inches, a bit stout
and rather broad shouldered. He wears
a closely cropped beard, and the general
resemblance to his illustrious father has
always been remarked. In manner he
is decidedly plain and is a SLOW delib-
crate talker. The first impression or
him is of man of solidity and sincerity
in the extreme.
At 8 o'clock this morning the general
took his drive about town, returning
about two hours later to the ship. At
II O'Clock he was received bv President
Dole at the Executive building. From
2 o'clock this afternoon he will drive,
visiting the Pail and other points of in
terest.
At the hour seen General Grant had
made 10 arrangements to take in the
Memorial Day exercises of the G.. A. X.
1t is certain, however, that committee
will wait on him. The general is a vet
eran of the Civil war, having been a
colo"ci on the staff Of General sherman

Many old soldiers now feel the ef-
fects of the hard service they endured
during the war. Mr.. Geo. S. Anderson
Of Rossville, York county, Penn, who
saw the hardest kind of service at the
front, is now frequently troubled with
rheumatism. L had a severe attack
lately" he saws, "and procured a bot
IL of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. 1t did
so much good that l would like to
know what you would charge me for
one dozen bottles" Mr.. Anderson
wanted it both for his own use and to
supply it to his friends and neighbors,
as every family should have bottle of
it i'm their home, not only for rheuma-
tism, but lame back, sprains, swell

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of acy other one make. This Is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.
When IN need of a new sewing ma
chine examine the Singer before pur-
chasing any other make. b. Berger
