TEN MEN PERISH.
French senmen DIE in the Fierce Gale
Which Recently Swept
the Channel.

Paris, Dec. 31.-Advices from the
ports say the gale in the channel and
along the northwest coast ragged with
extreme violence and that a number
of fishing smacks and coasting vessels
have been wrecked. Nine fish boats
have been stranded near Dunkirk and
three of them will prove total wrecks.
Their crews were seer clinging to the
rigging, but the majority of them were
beyond reach of the rockets. A life
boat CALAMITY rescued many of the
fishermen. but ter of them persisted.
A brig was totally lost on the Stables
de Tonnes. OF her crew four men were
drowned and two reached the beach
by clinging to barrels, but before the
onlookers could seize them they were
swept back and sank. The fishing
smack Esperance foundered off Treport
and three fishermen were lost, A pilot
boat belonging to Hayre was lost, with

Great Britain would Exchange ia
maIca for a Fail Slice of
the Philippines.

New York, Jan. "A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Wash

Jamaica will be given in exchange for
a fair share of the United States col
on, # the Philippines, This is az in
ternational trade which will prob
ably be the result of the acquisition
by the United States of the Danish
Antilles. In official circles it is
thought that Great Britain will not
want the Island of Jamaica If the
United States acquire the Danish pos
sessions, and the prestige of Great
Britain, as commanding the highway
to the Nicaragua canal, will have dis
appeared. The United States will not
only be able to command the APP
proach from the east, but 1t will,
from it's point of vantage, control the
ocean east Of the Danish Antilles,
from the magnificent base which will
undoubtedly be established there. It
will be interesting to recall hat when
the United States senate amended the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty the British
press idea was that If Great Britain
was forced to yield there should be
some compensation to Great Britain.
What Great Britain's demands will be
are not clearly known. 1t is under
stood, however, that she will en-
deavor to have the modus vivendi

CINCH WAS NO FOOL.
His Imitation of a Crazy Man Was
a Work of Art.
when the Proper Time Came He Told
the Regiment All About His
Deep-Laid Scheme and As
tonished the Entire Camp.

Some young men who enlisted dur
ing the war with Spain but never saw
any active service were talking over
their days in uniform one night last
week, says the New York Sun, and
told interesting stories of camp life.
The young man who had been a hos
pital steward told this story:
"a month in our camp in Georgia
was enough to drive a man to despair,
for not only was it hot, but every day
increased our belief that the govern
ment had no intention of giving us a
chance to get into action or to let
us go back to IT homes. 1t was a
mighty tough ~predicament for a lot
of young men who had left business
and everything else in a burst of pa
triotic enthusiasm, and expected to
get into a scrap in short order. The
men worked every wire they could to
get their discharges, but it was at a
time when. the man with a pull
couldn't get any more than the man
without a friend.
"As a hospital steward I used to
hear a good deal about the health of
the regiment from the surgeons, and
one day l was very much surprised
to hear one of them say that he was
afraid Cinch, of company C, was 60
ing to lose his mind. l knew Cinch
as a big, good-natured fellow, who
tried to get a discharge as soon as
he learned that we were not going
to have a fight. When he failed he
became suilen and moody. The more
we watched him the more convinced
we became that something was wrong
with him. Every time we came round
we found him mumbling to himself.
and one day a crowd of us found him
seated on a stump in the middle OF
a big clover field, holding in front OF
him a long pole, attached to which
was a piece of cord on the end of
which was a pin bent to resemble a
fshhook. He would drop the hook
into the long grass and let it stay
there for a time. Then he would
make a cast and when the hook fell
would sit and watch the end of his
line intently. Every once in awhile
he would jerk the line out of the
