THE PAUL JONES FOUND.
Wreck Discovered ON Ono OF the Bird
Islands-No Signs of Life.


New Orleans, Jan. 25.-News has at
last been received of the Paul Jones.
Fishermen have come into the Jump,
and report that several days ago they
found the hulk of the Paul Jones and
that of an unknown schooner. Both
were lying stranded on one of the Biro
Islands, and the Paul Jones was broken
amidships, showing, in the belief of the
fishermen. that she had been blown up.
The men made no search for bodies,
and said that the shore all about was
strewn with wreckage and the personal
effects of the passengers.
The men brought with them a
schooner-load of wreckage from the
vessel. The news of the discovery
reached New Orleans on the arrival of
the Neptune, small steamer that plies
between New Orleans and the jetties.
The Jump is six miles up from Quar-
antine. The relief expedition now out
are on the right track, and probably
now have found the hulk. One of the
objects picked up by the fishermen was
bunch of six keys, which are now in
New Orleans. They are on silver
ring. One of them is a key of the
Fletcher Safe Deposit Company, of In
dianapolis. The fishermen saw the boat
on the 18th or 18th of the month.

Mrs, Botkin's Counsel Gains Time.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 25.-Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin, convicted of the muir
der of Mrs. Dunning, was in court to
be sentenced. Her attorneys, George
A. Knight, the Senatorial candidate,
and Frank Mcgowan, submitted a writ
ten motion for new trial, and asked
for continuance, which was granted.
The main point in the motion is the
showing that Mrs. Botkin should have
been tried in Delaware. Other points
are that the jury was guilty of miscon-
duct and that additional evidence
favorable to the defense has been dis
covered.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The negotia-

States, Great Britain and Ger many
have resulted in definite proposition
which is now receiving favorable con-
sideration at the hands OF the three
Governments.
1t is to the effect that the present
three-cornered Government OF the Sa-

dissolved, and that the principal islands
of the group be divided among them as
follows:
Germany the island of Opolu, on
which is situated the principal port,
Apia, and which is the richest, the
most densely populated and most pro
ductive island of the group.
England, the island of Savaii, which
is the largest of the group, covering
an areage half as great as all the other
Samoan islands put together.
United States, the island of Tutuifa,

the large store at 1913 Geary street, near

stock of rugs, carpets, draperies and
Oriental goods at public auction. These
goods are the accumulation of twenty
years research among the rug centers
Of the old world, and constitute one Of
the finest collections of antiques to be
found in this country. A genuine an
tique, so eagerly sought for by con-
noisseurs, is becoming very rare, the
supply being practically exhausted, and
in the future will rarely be seen except
in private collections. This stock will
be sold without reserve to the highest
bidder. The sale will commence Mon

be conducted by Mr.. Louderback, the

Ever since 1872 they have been in
actual rebellion against the rule Of
Spain. They have been fighting for
government of their own, and they
believe it is but just that they should
be allowed to govern their own coun-
try. They first wish to ascertain the
feeling of the United States in the
matter. They claim that the Filipinos
as a people do not understand the
Americans, and that they look on them
