HORSES POUNDED TO DEATH.
Transport Sailing From Seattle Could
Not Weather the Storm.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 2S.-With a car
go of dying horses and mules and fifty
five empty stalls, the United States
transport Victoria returned to port late
last night, having been forced by an
unprecedented stress of weather off
Cape Fiattery to turn back from her
voyage to the Philippines OF the 40
horses and mules carried by the Vic
toria, and taken on Nov. %, fifty-fve

the sides of their stalls in the storm.
and the remaining animals are SO bad
ly bruised that the officers of the ves-
sci believe that many cannot be saved.
The Victoria sailed for the Philip
pine Nov. 90. AS the straits were
neared high and dangerous sea was
encountered, and the ship pitched and
rolled heavily, shipping seas fore and
aft. The stress of weather increased as
the Victoria advanced toward the open
ocean. On the morning of Nov. "a the
vessel was rounded just outside the
straits with her head to the wind. At
o'clock on the afternoon of that day
she was tossing on the crest of the
waves, described in the log as noun
tain high, and the strong gale blew
thick with binding mist.
The transport labored heavily during
the night. and early next morning
steamed away to the west, but began
to roll SO dangerously that her head
was again brought around to the wind.
This day was a repetition of the pre-
ceding, with the addition of terrific
squalls.
The rolling and pitching of the ship
now began to have its effect upon the
animals confined in their stalls. They
had been pounded from side to side
until they were in a state of utter ex-
hauStiOn Several died during the
night and next morning, and constant
attention of the veterinary surgeon and
stock hands seemed powerless to save
them.
Under such circumstances it was de-
termined, after consultation between
Captain Michaels and his officers. to
round the ship and head for Seattle;
During the trip in several more horses
died. bringing the number of deaths up
to fifty-five. The bodies of the animals
were weighted and thrown overheard as
fast as death came.

Congress Must Declare Intentions
Toward the Island.
FEARS OF AN OUTBREAK
THEIR INDEPENDENCE MUST BE
FORTHCOMING.
Rumors That Fund Is Being Raised
and Recruiting Going On For Fu-
ture Emergencies-0fi cia1ly Stat
ed That There Is No Cause For
Alarm at Present Time.

Havana, Nov. 2S.-AIthough there has
been a great deal OF exaggeration with
reference to risings in different parts of
the island, there is no doubt that, de-
spite the tranquility of the country.
some apprehension exists lest within
the next few months some trouble
should occur in the event that the Unit
ed States congress does not give def
mite assurances respecting the future
of Cuba. 1t is asserted that many of
rural guard, have for several weeks
been paying a fraction of their salaries
to fund intended for use in case of
an outbreak against The United States.
Information to this effect has been
brought to headquarters by persons
who have usually proved reliable. 1t
has also been reported that recruiting
for future emergencies" is in progress
in various parts of the island.
The best opinion, official and nom
official, rejects the idea, however, that
there will be any trouble before the be-
ginning of next year. Today the papers
published in English deny that there
is any ground for alarm, and the Span
ish papers, alluding to the alarmist ru-
mors. declare that most of these are
put in circulation by those who resent
the notion of the appointment of a ci-
william governor general. The organs of
the extremists and of the independents
do not allude to the reports. With a
few exceptions, the prominent Ameri-
cans, Spaniards and Cubans refuse to
talk on the subject for publication
General Collanso, veteran of the Gu
ban army and now editor of the Gu
bano, who fairly represents the views
of the Cuban revolutionary leaders, said
today:
Island Is Tranquil.
Judging from personal letters re-
ceived from Pfnar del Rio and recent
interviews / have had with prominent
revolutionary leaders from that part of
the country, 1 feel justified in saying
that at present Cuba is perfectly tran
quill, although, as the result of General
Ludlow's recent statements and of the
possibility of civilian governor gen.
eral, a feeling of tension exists Our
people are awaiting for declaration by
the United States congress. No one
would be SO foolish as to prejudice the
whole case by starting rebellion be-
fore we have heard what congress will
90. Cubans regard the present issues
as almost vital
General Collanso asks the Associated
Press to deny, in his name, that there
is any intention on the part of the Gu
bans to take to the woods. There is,
moreover, movement on foot in Ha-
vana to found a monthly subscription
list to defray the expenses of four or
five CubanS who would travel through
the United States and urge the grant
ing of absolute independence
At a largely attended meeting yester-
day in Rojas, province of Santa Clara,
the mayor was requested to inform the
military governor that the people of the
district did not desire a civilian gov
ernor.
