SANK IN COLLISION.
Passenger Steamer Run Down on the Welsh
Coast-All Saved.

Liverpool, March S.--The Ameri-
can Line steamer Waesland, from Liv-
erpool, March 8, for Philadelphia, and
the British steamship Harmonides, from
Para, February l3, for Liverpool, met
in collision Wednesday night off Holy
head, Wales. The Waesland sank.
The Harmonides rescued the passengers
and crew and brought them to Liver
pool. The Waesland carried 80 cabin
and 50 steerage passengers. The loss
of the Waesland was due to the dense
fog which enveloped the Irish channel,
seriously delaying all vessels.
Fifty-three of the passengers and
crew of the Waesland arrived at Liver
pool on board the Harmonides at 1888
this morning. They we're received by
the agents of the American line here
and were quartered at various hotels.
The collision occurred in a thick fog
at 1880 O'Clock Wednesday night, when
the Waesland was about 40 miles
southwest of Holyhead. The Harmon
ides struck the Waesland amidships,
and there was terrible shock. Most
OF the Waesland's passengers had re-
tired for the night. Perfect order and
discipline prevailed. The crew of the
steamer rapidly turned out the pas
sengers and succeeded in assuring them
that their lives were safe. The pas
sengers were greatly influenced by the
coolness of the crew, and obeyed in
structions Willingly and quickly.
The Waesland's boats were speedily
gotten out, and in less than half an hour
the entire ships company had been
transferred to the Harmonides. I'M
fortunately. two lives were lost. The
dead are q steerage passenger and a
child, the daughter of cabin passen-
ger. The Waesland sank in 35 minutes
after the collision. The passengers and
crew lost all their belongings. The ves-
sci carried no mails.
The Harmonides has a great hole in
her bows. One of the rescued passen-
gers states that the Waesland's boilers
bursted, owing to breakage from the
force of the collision.

LONG STEPS OUT.
Secretary Of the Navy Hands His Resignation
TO the President

Secretary Of the Navy Hands His Resignation
to the President.
Washington, March l2.-The third
change in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt occurred when Secretary
Long submitted his resignation in a
beautiful letter, it being accompanied
by one equally felicitous by the presi-
dent. The change was made complete
by the selection of Representative Will
lam Henry Moody, of the Sixth con-
gressional district OF Massachusetts, as
Mr.. Longs successor in the navy de-
partment.
This change has been expected for a
long time. MIR. Long had intended to
retire at the beginning of the late Pres
ident McKiEley's second term, but he
consented to remain until certain lines
of policy in which he was involved
we're more satisfactorily arranged.
Then when President Roosevelt sue
ceeded, though anxious to return 10
private life--for Secretary Long will
never again enter public life--a strong
feeling of loyalty toward Mr.. Roosevelt
induced the secretary to defer his re.
tirement until it was convenient for the
president to make a change. Recently
Mr.. Long has been in Massachusetts
making arrangements with his old legal
connections to re-enter the practice OF
law, and he has had his house at Hing
ham put in order for his occupation.
When Mr.. Long entered the cabinet
originally he was an active member Of
the firm OF Hemingway & Long, a well
known legal firm OF Boston. He has
always maintained a silent connection
with the concern, and will again be-
come an active partner.

Freight Handlers Strike,

Boston, March ll.-Four hundred
and fifty freight handlers employed in
the freight houses of the Haven & Hart
ford Railroad at South Boston struck
tonight because of the refusal of the
company to reinstate several men who
had been discharged for refusing to
handle freight delivered by the R. s..
Brine Transportation Company, against
whom the union teamsters are on
strike. Although a strike OF freight
handlers had been threatened for the
past two or three weeks, it was from an
entirely unexpected quarter that it fin
ally came. The strike is expected to
be far reaching in its effects.

OF NO CONSEQUENCE,


Washington, March ll.-Desiring to
ascertain the facts as to conditions in
the province Of Morong, Luzon, secre-
tary Root recently cabled inquiries to
Commissioner Wright and General
Chaffee, which have brought the fol-
lowing replies:
with reference to your telegram OF
the 9th inst, the facts from MoTong
are: About a week ago the presidente
OF Cainta was kidnapped. The perpe-
traitors OF this act was new organiza-
tion gathered in Morong province about
go strong. They were vigorously
searched for and driven to hiding and
will probably be captured in day or
two. They have inflicted no material
damage. No special significance need
or should attach to this event.
"CHAFFEE."
'sThere is no foundation for the state
ment Of iRsurrection in Morong or that
the inhabitants are fleeing. Small
fragments of ladrone bands, dispersed
and driven out of the mountains of La
guna by Bells operations. and from
Cavite through recent operations Of the
constabulary, in the mountains there,
having about Is guns, gathered in the
mountains of Morong and probably
aided by few outlaws of that section,
raided the village, kidnapping the pres
idente. A small detachment of con-
stabulary under native sergeant at
tackled them but made no impression,
being short of ammunition. Assistant
Chief Atkins was on the ground in a
few hours with an adequate force OF
constabulary, and, assisted in every
way by the native governor of the prov
ince and the inhabitants, gave pursuit.
They have already killed two, injured
one, captured six and are running the
band down. The presidente has been
released without harm. So far from
there being hostility on the part of the
mass of people to American authority,
they give us full information of what is
passing and aid US as much as possible.
These ladrones do not interfere with
the whites and confne their operations
to levying tribute upon and OCCASION
ally kidnapping natives in remote local
tiles. There is nothing new in this, as
it was in existence under the Spanish
government, less so now than then.
They are being rapidly broken up and
exterminated by the constabulary.
There is no political significance in
their operations. WRIGHT"

RUSHING WORK ON WARSHIPS
Phenomenal Advance at the Union Iron
Works In Construction.

Works In Construction.
Washington, March 1l.-Apparently
phenomenal advance in the work on
some of the war vessels building at the
Union Iron Works, San Francisco, is
the feature of the monthly progress re-
port issued by Admiral Bowles, chief of
the bureau OF construction and repair.
The report shows gain during the
month of February Of ~ per cent on
the battleship Ohio, 20 per cent on the
protected cruiser Tacoma, and per
cent on the monitor Wyoming. More
over, per cent of the work on the ar
mored cruiser California, which vessel
had formerly been the only one OF that
class of vessels showing no start, was
completed.
1t is explained at the navy depart
ment that during the prevalence of the
strike at San Francisco a great mass OF
material had accumulated and made
ready for placement, and with the end
ing of the strike and the return of the
men to work, it had been possible
within the last month to make a great
change in the status of the work on
the vessels.

DANGER TO SHIPPING.
Immense Ice FIOCs Reported OF the Coast Of
Japan--EarIy Spring in the North.

Immense Ice FlOCs Reported OF the Coast OF
Japan--Esrly Spring in the North.
Port Townsend, Wash, March r.
The British ship Bann, the last of the
storm bound fleet off the entrance to the
Straits of Juan de Fuca, has arrived
9s days from Iquique, "a days of which
she was storm-bound off the straits.
Seven times the Bann got inside Of
Cape Flattery, and as no tug was there
to pick her up, she was compelled to
put back to sea. The Bann reports no
other vessels off the Cape.
The British steamship 0ceano reports
to the local United States photographic
office as having encountered an i'm
mense ice foe about 200 miles off the
Japanese coast, abreast the entrance to
Sugar straits. So extensive was the ice
foe that the steamer was compelled to
change her course and steam for several
hours t. avoid coming in collision with
the ice. The ice foe is in the direct
path of vessels sailing to the Orient,
and as it is quite extensive, it is dan
gerous to navigation. The captain Of
the Oceano says the ice is from four to
six feet out of the water, and some OF
the bergs are many feet across, and
cannot be seen until the vessel is samong
them. This is the first time ice has
been seen off the japanese coast in that
vicinity. 1t is thought that the foe
came from Behring Straits and the
Arctic ocean, and that through some
unknown cause the ice pack in the
Arctic has broken earlier and that it in
dicates an early spring in the north.

A BAD RAIL DID 1T
CAUSED AWFUL TRAIN WRECK
ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Train was Late and Running at High Speed
to Make Up Lost Time Fifteen are Dead
and TwSnty.sisht More or Less Injured
Victims We're Mostly immigrants Bound
for California.

San Antonio, Tex, March l0.-A
broken rail caused a frightful wreck ON
the Southern Pacific near Maxon sta
tion, 20 miles west of Sanderson, at 3
O'Clock this morning. From the latest
accounts received here, 10 persons were
killed outright and 2S were more or
less injured.
The Inflated train was 2 hours late,
and the time of the accident was
running at high rate of speed to make
up time, The road at the point where
the wreck occurred is in rough coun-
try, the curves being sharp and the
grades heavy. 1t was when rounding
a curve that the train left the track, it
is said, on account of broken rail,
The hour was a. M, Is hours after
the train had left San Antonio, show
ing that it was still behind time.
All the passengers were asleep, and
the shock that followed was the first
intimation they had of the danger.
The train was going at such a rate of
speed that the tender and engine landed
75 feet from where they left the track.
The cars behind piled up against the
engine, caught fire, and all were con-
sumed except the sleepers.
A private car owned by Thomas
Ryan, a New York capitalist, with bis
family aboard, was attached to the rear
OF the train, but it was pulled away be-
fore the fire reached it, and no one in it
was injured.
All the injured in the coaches Just
behind the express and baggage cars
were cremated. The people in the
sleepers were saved with the assistance
OF the uninjured passengers.
The wrecked train was the Galveston,
Harrisburg & San Antonio westbound
passenger No. 8, and consisted of an
engine, mail car, baggage car, one
coach, one chair car, three tourist Sleep
ers, one Pullman sleeper and one pri-
vate car. The mail car, the baggage
car and the day coaches were piled to-
gether behind the engine, and were
ablaze in few seconds. 1t was impos-
sible to move any Of the coaches or the
tourist cars, as they were all off the
rails, and were soon consumed by the
flames.

INCAPABLE OF RULING.
Young Afonso's Coronation May Be Post.
pOned for Several Years.

London, March l0.-The Daily Mail
publishes letter from its Madrid cor.
respondent, stating that all the import
ant Spanish newspapers are discussing
the possible necessity of prolonging the
regency, owing to the incapacity of King
Alfonso to exercise the functions of
sovereign. There is talk of forming a
sort of kings council, says the letter,
to be composed of the queen regent, the
political cortes, the archbishop of To-
ledo and the ex-president of the council
of ministers.
Another version of the story is that
the queen regent is to prolong her re-
geny for five years, in order to enable
the king to complete his education by
travel, etc. The correspondent con-
cludes his letter by saying that the CEN
sor stops all kilograms on this subject.

5000 MEN GO ON STRIKE.
Boston Freight Handlers Making Hard Fight
for UniOnSm.

Boston, March 12.-War between
the organized teamsters, freight and
express handlers of Boston and two
great railroad corporations, the New
York, New Haven & Hartford and the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroads, the latter locally known as
the Boston & Albany, broke out today.
The strike, which is a sympathetic one,
already involves 5000 men in and
about Boston.
Stopping work because of the dis
charge of union men who have refused
to handle non-union moved freight, the
various organizations now on strike
made every effort today to extend their
sphere of influence to affiliated bodies,
while the corporations energetically
tried to fill the strikers places and to
receive and dispatch goods offered them.
Both met with some measure OF sue
cess. Tomorrow the local employees of
the great express companies, the Adams
and the New York 4 Boston, two COM
panies which handle practically all of
the fast freight in Southern New Eng
land, will refuse to work, while several
smaller bodies Of organized labor, such
as the brewery teamsters and the piano
movers, as we'll as freight handlers in
East Boston, will be idle. On the
other hand, the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad, after succeeding
today in moving considerable freight
by Italian labor, will augment the
force tomorrow, and the Boston & AL
bany expects to have large number
of men at work in its freight sheds.
The action of the express men in
joining the freight handlers will quick
ly affect the freight business with near
by business centers like Worcester,
Springfield, Hartford, New Haven,
Providence, Fall River and New Bed
ford.

Possibility Of a Coal Famine.

New York, March lO.-Recent floods
and washouts in the coal regions have
given rise TO apprehension of a coal
famine, not only in this city. but at
other manufacturing centers. How
ever, the supply Of hard coal stored in
this city will last about 10 days, even
If no coal trains whatever come in dur
ing that period. Operators in anthra-
cite generally take a hopeful view as
to the prospect Of relief in the near
future. II is understood the price Of
anthracite will be reduced so cents a
ton on April /.
