represented the assets of the company.
The two survivors are John Becker and
Theodore Diedrick.
The news was brought to st. Mlchaels

steamer overturn during severe wind
storm which prevailed about September
Is.
The Roanoke had aboard, according
to her owners, drafts and gold dust
from Cape Nome amounting to 100000,
The principal portion of this is rep
resented by drafts held by John Bryne-
son. Jafet Linderbsrg, p. H, Anderson
and c. W. A, Kjillman, the four orig
inal locators Of the camp. There were
fully 2OO others on board, with dust val
eud at from $500 to $4,000 each, large
portion of the same being beach dust.
The principal holdings are about as
follows: Llnderberg and Brynteson
$500, 900: ], r. Anderson, 100000; c, W
A. Kjillman $75,OOO; N. P. R. Hatch

HARD AFTER THEM.
The Cause of Asuinaldo is Rapidly
Waning

MANILA, Nov. 1.--An signs show that
General Youngs rapid advance is de-
moralizing the insurgents northward.
Prisoners report them to be fleeing to
the hills. There are many deserters and
sick men and the former are taking
their arms to the Americans. a
The cavalry's rapid movements are a
puzzle to the insurgents who think that
the Americans in striking so many
places must have overwhelming forces.
Aguinaldo is personally conducting
the campaign. He is asking people for
rice and is trying to replenlsh the army
with recruits but without success.

Apart from Whites statement that
the losses are very numerous, there is
nothing to indicate the extent of them
except the vague report that the SOL
dier who brought the rews TO Lady

ed were lying in heaps and that hun
dreds needed doctors. This, however,
is hardly borne out by the long list OF
captured officers.
The concluding sentence in Whites
dispatch relative to the safety Of Lady

reserve, in view of the fact that similar
official assurances were given recently
at Dundee and Glencoe. There is in
