Coghlan now ordered the Spaniards to
embark on board the Filipinas.
when they protested, he said that, al
though in the hands of the insurgents,
they would be treated as American pris-
Oners.

Senor Rossello, who Is authority for the

which offense Aguinaldo punished the
officers, reducing them, otherwise they

Col. Del Rio said: Capt. Coghlan
gave his word that our capitulation
should be accepted as 1t was made, name
ly, to the Americans. He promised that
we should not be given into the hands of
the Filipinos and I believe he was sin

Col. Del Rio and Senor Rossello de-
clared that the Irene left her anchorage

American warships arrived at 10:30 pass

squadron of cavalry, six guns, six Max

irregulars, who were all ex-prisoners,
captured Omdurrpan. and got near the
Khalifa's camp. The work of the Max
inns, heavily fired, was assisted in the dim
light by the white-clad figures. Then the
infantry volleyed again. The dervishes,
with no knowledge Of the use of cannon,
finally advanced on the guns, which sim
ply moved them down. Finally they
stood round the Khalifa, where the en-

MEN FINISHED STRONG.

None of the Riders In the Six-Day
Race Were Exhausted.
NEW YORK, Dec 1O-There was a
marked contrast in the condition of the
bicyclists who finished in the six DAYS
race which was completed at 10 o'clock
Saturday night, to their exhausted con-
dition at the finish of the race last year.
Today saw all the riders in excellent
physical condition., and several of them
took long walks this afternoon.
Miller, after the race, was taken to
the baths He retired at a. m and
arose at noon, and after eating a hearty
breakfast, left his hotel and in company
with his wife, called on friends. Waller,
his partner in the race, retired at the
same hoUr. He, too, was given a Turkish
bath after the race. He slept until 4
o'clock this afternoon. Both men ex-
pressed themselves as feeling satisfied
with the race and said they felt as
though they could start on another week
of racing. Maya and McEachern, the
team that finished second, were early up
and about the corridors of the hotel at
which they are staying. Fischer and
Chevalier, the French team, at noon to-
day, with the entire foreign delegation OF
trainers and managers. breakfasted at a
French restaurant. Victor Breyer, the
manager in chief, said he was satisfied
with the place his men had taken in the
race. His men. he said, would probably
remain In the city until the question of
the proposed six days race in Boston had
been definitely settled. They will con-
tinue training at the Garden.
Gimm and Pierce, the winners of the
third prize, seemed to be the only dissat-
isfied riders to express their feelings

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec lot is now
certain that the Canadian steamer Niaga-
ra, Capt. Henry McClory, foundered on
Tuesday evening last about eight miles
east of Long Point Lake Erie, with all
hands, numbering sixteen persons
Tugs sent out from Port Colborne and
from Buffalo to search for the missing
steamer have returned bringing with
them great quantities of wreckage picked
up near where she is supposed to have
foundered. The wreckage includes a part
of the Niagara's deck portions of the
cabin. deck beams, other material and a
quantity Of shingles marked Parry
Sound, from which port the Niagara
sailed for Buffalo.
Judging from the amount of wreckage
that has been found the Niagara must
have broken up badly in the storm 1t
is the opinion of lake captains that the
boat went down in deep water, about
eight miles east Of Long Point, as none
of her spars has been found and if she
had gone down In shallow water they
would be sticking up.
The storm which destroyed the Niagara
was one of the worst that ever ragged
over Lake Erie. The wind was blowing
gale of forty-five miles an hour and it
was showing heavily. Even the heaviest
and strongest boats made for shelter and
1t is the opinion of vessel men that Capt.
McClory attempted to turn his boat

doing SO encountered the full force of
the storm, his craft going to pieces.

LONDON, Dec. 10-Fuller accounts OF
Col. Wingates victory over the Khalifa
show what a terrible battle an engage

posed to Maxims. In the first fight, on
nov. 23, Wingate's advance force of four
Maxims and two other guns found the
dervishes in thick bush.
The advance opened fire, and the der
wishes replied and only hit one, evidently
with no idea of correct aiming. Then
the 200 emerged from the bush, and, curs-
ing and yelling, deliberately rushed on
the guns. None got within ninety-five
yards, and no more than six returned.
Two advanced beyond the rest, and

His narrative is corroborated by Senor

According to their story 1000 insurgents

about twenty-five shots. Seeing that re-

effort will be made by the division OF
agriculture of the twelfth census of the

has been prepared and will be sent out to
