Location of the Port
land Determined.
LIES IN MASS, BAY.
Discovery Made by the
Schooner Maud S.

Boston, March 2S.-With the hauling
to the surface of the waters of Mas
sachusetts bay, yesterday entangled
in the travis, OF a quantity of steamer
furnishings, by the crew of the schoon-
er Maud S., it is believed that the loca-
ton of the hull of the ilIfated steamer
Portland has been definitely determin-
ed.
The wreckage consists of two cleo
trio light brackets, a mattrass, some
minor cabin furnishings, a heaving line
and garter, and the point in the bay
is given by Capt, Thomas as 221A miles
E 1a N from Boston light, II miles 5
S E of Cape Ann and "A miles N VI w
from Highland light, the depth of the
water being between so and so fathoms.
Only few weeks ago another fisher
man at very nearly the same place
brought up some wash bowl fittings,
but these could not be positively ident-
ihed. The articles just found, when
brought ashore today, were positively
Identified by Agent c. f. Williams of
the Portland line, as being a part of
the furnishings in one of the cabins
of the steamer, while the finding of
the garter leads to the belief that there
are bodies in the wreck. OF the 200
human beings, more or less, who went
down with the steamer in the terrible
gale of Nov. 26 and 81, the remains of
less than 80 were recovered along the
shore of Cape Cod, over 80 miles away.
1t is possible, therefore. that many
bodies a re in the bnt Srt,a mi a.
will be the sole means of bringing to
light any additional portions of the
vessel.
The steamboat people, while pleased
that the location of the steamer has
been determined will take no further
action in the matter leaving that tt
the owner of the vessel, John f. Burke
of New York, from whom the boat was
chartered.
A number of propositions have al
ready been submitted to Mr.. Burke fol
the raising of the steamer, based or
the theory that very little of the YES
sci was washed away before she sunk
and that if found she could be made
seryiceable again. The finding of the
steamer at this point is considerable Of
a blow to great number of theories
as to where the wreck occurred.
All the wreckage came ashore at the
end Of and outside of Capt Cod anc
none of it was found inside of Cape
Cod bay. 1t is now believed, with the
finding of the wreck nearly 25 miles
north of Cape Cod, that the ocean cur
rents in the bay during the storm rar
much stronger than is ordinarily the
case.
The Portland left Boston shortly
after O'Clock ON the evening of the
storm Nov. 26, and was last seen off
Thatcher Island lights, Cape Ann, al
hour before midnight.

THE DEATH ROLL.
Several More Unacceptable Bodies
Found in Windsor Hotel ruins.

New York, March 28.-Another body
was found in the ruins of the Windsor
hotel today. 1t consisted of a skull,
the greater part of the vertebrate, the
thigh bones, the arms and some pieces
of flesh. 1t lay on a mattress. 1t is
impossible to tell whether it is the
body of a man or a woman. This body
was entered on the police and morgue
records as Body No. 25."
The remains of woman's body were
found in the ruins of the Windsor no
tel at 8.25 o'clock tonight. The greater
part of the trunk, badly charred and
encased in a part of a corset, was all
that the police could discover. Nearby
they found a hand bag containing a
metal box, a woman's metal belt, a
photograph album, fan, bracelet
with small lock- Catholic rosary, a
breastpln and letter addressed to
Johanna Jackey.
Body No 20 was found at 11.50 p. m.
tonight. 1t is the best preserved yet
taken from the ruins. There is trunk,
parts of the legs and part of one
arm The body is evidently that of a
man. 1t was found about where the
main entrance of the hotel opened into
the office.

Olney as a Presiden-
tial Possibility.
BASIS OF CAMPAIGN
'Favors Imperialism While
Opposed to Annexation.

Milwaukee, March 2S.--The Journal
says;
A movement IS under way to make
ex-Secretary OF State Richard Olney
the democratic candidate for president
next year, and is revealed in a letter
from Boston to the Journal.
Mr. Olney's campaign Is based on
the theory that he is in favor of i'm
perialims while opposed to annexation.
The writer OF the letter referred to is
very prominent in democratic politics,
and he says the movement in Mr. Oh
ney's favor is well under way. 1t is
urged in his behalf that he, though a
gold democrat in 1895, did not make
himself obnoxious to the free silver
element, and that ON the expansion
question he would be an available cam
didate, being opposed to annexation of
distant islands to the territory Of the
United States. Mr.. Olney's views on
the acquisition of foreign territory are
very pronounced He believes in the
United States striving with the other
nations of the world for commercial
greatness, but not for political extern
sion.

Garcia, Tofreo and Pacheco, were with
the Filipino army yesterday, and drove
their followers into the first aggressive
demonstration. The rebels attempted
to charge across the plain east of the
railroad, but the Americans charged to
meet them, and the Filipinos boIted af-
ter a few shots, leaving several men

for fighting, and their officers have to
keep them in line by beating them with
swords.
One of the most brilliant and costliest
achievements of the campaign was the
| charge of Maj. Howards battalion
across the river Advancing at the
double they found the river beneath
them and splashed across with a yell
swimming and wading with bullets
scattering in the water, and rushed
upon the rebel trenches. Ten men were
killed and eleven wounded in the
charge. At the capture of Marilao there
were many incidents showing the brav-
cry of our troops. Some Fifipinos were
entrenched on an island in a bend of
the river. The Americans approached in
triangular formation with the Third
artillery in the apex and the Kansas
and Pennsylvania regiments forming
the sides. Col. Funston called for volun-
teers to swim the river.

Gen. MacArthur's staff, with Company
of the Pennsylvania regiment and
Lieut.. Alternately and 10 men engaged
in similar exploits. The FTlipinos had
raised the white flag, many of them
attempted to run and several were shot
for so doing. In the churchyard of Mar
iloa there We're found 80 newly made
graves of Filipincs and a dozen bodies
were seen drifting down the river with
gruesome wounds. The prisoners are
digging their former comrades graves.
Many huts are smoking ruins, having
Lbeen burned by their inhabitants The
Americans are not burning any build
ings. Our troops captured four Span
iards who were fighting with the in
surgents.
Gen. Macarthur was under a heavy
fire yesterday.
The prisoners say Aguinaldo has de-
clared that if the Americans can take
the Filipino capital he will surrender.

BOSTON HORSE SHOW.
the Entries Breaks the Record for the
Hub-onIy 200 Behind New York.

Boston, March 2S.-The entries for
the Boston horse show, which is to he
held here, April II to %, breaks the
record for this city. Two years ago
the total number of entries received
was a trihe short of 700. This year the
Boston horse show has received over
HOO entries, or an increase of over 400
from two years ago. The entries for
this years show are only 200 behind
the record made at Madison Square
Garden last fall. The only falling off
in any of the classes is in the trotting
division, which is somewhat of a sur
prise, as New England is known as the
home of the trotter. What the show
has lost in the way of light harness
entries is more than made up In the
other classes, and the total number of
entries Is not only a big record breaker
for Boston, but it shows far the largest
number Of New York exhibitors ever
seen in a Boston ring making bid for
the ribbons.

Cambridge, March 2S.-Though there
is practically no doubt that the Har-
ward Yale boat race win be rowed at
New London this year, the question of
quarters is one that is still troubling
the minds of the Harvard rowing au-
thorities. March weather and the scat
tering of all varsity crew material
among the class rowing squads makes
a forecast of Harvard's strength at this
stage almost impossible. Interest is
at present centered on the class races
which will be pulled off April II. on
the same day races will be held be-
tween the class crews of the Weld and
Newell Boat clubs. After that all the
best rowing material will be put into
three or more graded crews at each
boat club, and the corresponding crews
will pair off in another set of inter-
club races late in the month Then
and not till then will there be a univer-
sity crew squad.
