ST. JOHNS. y. F., Jan. Pa large ves-
sci, probably American, has been wrecked
on Foxtail point. She was the rocks
four days Nobody seemed to be aboard
and signs of boats were to be seen
about the wreck. The hull had been sorely
buffeted. either before after striking the
coas,. and such portions of the wreckage
as came TO the shore were split into frag-
ments. The stormy weather prevailing has
prevented boats from getting near the
wreck. and much ice is being formed in
the harbor, crashing about and threatening
the safety of any vessel which would put
out.
An off-shore gale. which ragged all day
Saturday, drove the wreck seaward, leav-
ing no clew to her identity unless 1t is
found In the wreckage strewn along the
shore. 1t is beyond reasonable doubt that
all on board persisted. though who the
unfortunates were and how many there
were cannot be determined. The govern
ment officials have arranged to find out
the name of the vessel IL possible.

Immigrant steamers continue to arrive at

ted the foreign office with Dr. Leyds in

tage. He said he was convinced that the
Boer commander had a plan drawn up
and that IL part OF prearranged

the British.

that he was about to open negotiations
for the Intervention of Germany and
France in favor OF peace. AT least" he
added. mot for the present because inter-
vention would not be opportuue just now,

THE impression that is said to exist in
certain quarters that DR.. Leyds is not

the following powers: Russia, Germany,

indirectly recognized by Great Britain. The
suzerainty was created by the convention
OF 1881, but was abolished by the conven-
ton OF 1884. In 1897 IL was suddenly re-
vived by Mr.. Chamberlain. The govern
ment of the South African Republic strenu-
ously repudiated the claim and ii has been
supported in this by every international
by such eminent authorities as Sir Edward
Clark, and Sir William Harcourt in Great
Britain. The international status of the
