Lost Steamer Located in Eight
cen FathOmS of Water.
VESSEL NAY BE RAISED
MIR. WILDMAN'S LAST INTER
VIEW GIVEN IN HONOLULU.

San Francisco. Feb. 26.-The wreck
of the steamer Rio de Janeiro has been
located. 1t lies within 200 yards of the
red buoy off Fort Point. The lead
shows that the vessel lies in from
eighteen to eighteen and one
half fathoms of water. An effort
will be made at once by the Pacific
Mail Steamship company to recover the
bodies and raise the steamer.
Charles E. Ward, a brother of the
unfortunate master of the Rio. ar
rived here today from Denver to as
sist in the search for the remains Of
his brother.
The last statement made for publi-
cation by United States Consul Gen
eral ROunseville Wildman, who lost his
life in the wreck of the steamer Rio de
Janeiro, is printed in the Honolulu Re
publican of Feb. IA. The Republican
says:
Among the more prominent passen-
gers who are passing through Honolulu
on the City of Rio de JanelrO, Is
Rounseville Wildman, the present
United States consul general at Hong
kong. Mr.. Wildman is returning to
the states, Just to see how things are
looking after a four years absence"
as he expressed it. When asked con-
corning the situation in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Wildman said:
Before answering your question, let
me say these words in a PREDATORY
way Our present administration has
acted most wisely in handling this mat
ter. The Philippine question is prac-
tically at an end. If our forces can
keep the insurgents under control dur
ing the rainy season, and / believe they
can, the matter will solve itself
Insurgents Short of Munitions.
'"The insurgents are being cut off
from all external communication. They
find it harder and harder to secure
fOOdstuffs. They long ago were pre-
vented from receiving anything in the
way of firearms. They have scarcely
any powder and. in order to carry on
their warfare, fill their shells with the
heads Of matches. The force generated
by the detOnatiOn of this material is Of
sufficient power to drive BAH through
an inch plank.
.'Aguinaldo, believe, is dead. There
is considerable dispute as to this, but
from indications I am inclined to be
heve that he is no more. General San
dicO, the chief of AguinaldO'S staff, is
trading on AguinaldO's name. SandicO
is in a very unhappy plight 1t was
he who issued the proclamation to the
insurgents to kill all foreign women
and children. We have the prOclama-
ton in his own handwriting. He is
making threats over AguinaldO's name
and seeking for peace. at the same
time declaring that if terms advan-
tageous to the rebel foreign protector
ate were not made, the war would be
renewed with much more severity.
80 prOphesy the future of China, ="
Mr.. Wildman continued, lis most dir
ficuIt thing to do, but I may safely
hazard this. China will be divided into
five different kingdoms. China was
originally five district divisions, and
to those it will again revert. There is
absolutely no sympathy between the
northern and the southern portions of
the FIowery- Kingdom. In the north,
a Caucasian's life is never safe; in the
south, he may travel anywhere with
impunity"

How a Utah Man Captured III
FiIipinos.

Deputy City Recorder Nicholson re-
ceived a letter yesterday from Lieu
tenant Albert W. Brown of the Fourth
United States infantry, now stationed
at Santa Cruz. Cavite province, Luzon,
telling of his recent experiences there.
The writer viii be well remembered as
one of the sergeants in battery A, Utah
artillery in the Philippine campaign
After the return of the volunteers he
secured a commission in the army.
The letter told in entertaining style
of the capture by the company of in
fantrymen temporarily under Lieuten-
ant Browns command of ia insurgents
and Iadrones recently in the territory OF
linus. Before the capture, Captain
Luna, a native officer, came into the
camp of Lieutenant Browns men for
protection and to avenge an affrOnt to
him by his fellow rebels. Shortly be-
fore Luna had been led to the lynching
post and strung up by the FilipinOs.
According to the insurgent officers
story, the rope broke as he was going

SHELTER TRUST is
In GOOD CONDITION

New York, Feb. 26.-President Nash
of the American Smelling & Refining
company has issued a report in contra
dictiOn, he says, of rumOrs affecting the
cOmpany's finances. He says, in part:
THE com anys annual business
amounts to $4,000, 600. 1t is borrowing
only IS, 000, 900. None of this natures
until April and then only $3.50, OO0 and
it has on hand subject to check, ST.
600 900 in cash. The remainder natures
at later dates upon time paper. The
company could liquidate its entire debt
in thirty days without Inconvenience,
using only it's gold and silver, or using
only its copper and lead on hand. since,
while its debt is s., OO0, 600, its quick as
sets amount to over $14,OO0O00.
Its net earnings for the year ending
oct. 81, 1900, exceeds $4,000, 900. For the
months of November and December,
1900. they exceeded 81, 200, GOO. The
stories of disSensiOnS among the pres
ent directors are false. There are no
such dissensiOns. On the contrary,
there is entire unanimity of opinion as
to the policy to be pursued by the
company, not only with regard to the
consolidation with Guggenheims &
Sons, but with regard to all important
questions

through the stringing-up process and
he made his escape TO the lines OF the
AmericanOS.
Luna related that he was lieuten-
ant in the rebel army and upon the
death of the captain he was proposed
for the vacant place of command, but
his mOdesty prompted him to decline
and for this he was summarily ordered
hung for treason. He offered to pilot
the company Of Fourth infantrymen
into the territory of the insurgents
and point out all of the rebels who
could be captured, and Lieutenant
Brown took up the march with his men
under the avenging rebel officers guild
ance-
The result. as stated in the letter of
Lieutenant Brown, was the capture of
ia insurgents who were identified by
Captain Luna. As the natives passed
in review to get the amigos separated
from the active insurgents, the escaped
officer picked out the rebel who played
the part of hangman and before the
native officer could be stopped he
Knocked his arch enemy insensible with
a stick.

goes as we want it or not at ALL" Some
say the POpulists viii bury the hatchets
they have waved alOft SO vigorously
the past few days and yield to the
Democrats. Others declare they will
not vote for the appOrtiOnment in its
present shape.
The disposition of the Democrats is
to ignore the POpulists on everything,
and if the latter kick over the traces,
to harpOOn everything they are after.
Tomorrow evening another general
caucus Of the fUsiOnists of the legis-
lature will be held, at which time a
martial law resolution viii be pre-
scented. 1t is understood it will be sim
liar to that killed in the house a few
days ago, asking Governor Hunt to
abolish martial law in the Occur
d'Alenes. It is not believed the caucus
will agree to such a resolution. 1t was
stated tonight that the POpuliSts would
await action on this question before
deciding finally what they Will do on
the reaDDOrtiOnment bill

Order Received by the Company's Lo-
cal Agent.

Diamond Coal & Coke company yester-
day received from Mine Superintendent
Thomas Snedden a request to send from
this city on last nights train to KEN
merer twenty collins. The dispatch

hope of their rescue alive. It is be
Iieved, however, that it will be possible
for the rescuing party 10 enter the mine
today and bring out the dead bodies.
According 20 adviCes received by
Agent Marsh. the fire was started by
a careless driver letting his lamp ignite
the infammable canvas covering the
entrance to the mine, and the blaze
quickly spread % the interior where the
men were working. Another version Of
the cause stated by General Manager
QUalev in q telegram to Mr.. Marsh was
that a driver is believed to have care
lessiy set fire to some hay he was feed
ing his mule in the mine.
Mr.. Marsh went to the scene of the
disaster last evening.
