TWELVE LIVES LOST.
Terrible Result of Wrecking of
Schooner Wentworth Off Coast of
Cape Cod.

Chatham, Mass, Oct. ia small
part of the forward section of the hull
and a slanting foremost stand as mute
reminders of the ocean tragedy enacted
here Thursday night when the three
masted schooner Wentworth, of None
ton. N. B.. struck on Chatham bar DUR
ing a raging northerly gale, and
all on board persisted in the
terrific seas. With the exception
of the loss of the steamer Port
land in November, 1898, the wreck of the
Wentworth is the worst disaster that
has occurred on the Cape Cod coast dur
ing the last decade.
Of the IL persons who were on board
the stranded vessel not one reached the
shore alive, although two bodies were
rescued from the surf, one of them that
of a woman, believed to be the wife of
the captain. With her three children
she was accompanying her husband on
a trip from Hillsboro, N b., to Newark,
n. J.
Little could be done in an effort to
aid the crew of the disabled craft, as the
Cape Cod life savers from two stations
were unable to launch their surf boats
in the tremendous seas.
The Wentworth was bound from
HilIsboro, N. B., to Newark, N. j., with
a cargo of plaster rock. On board, so far
as known, were the captain, his wife and
three children and crew of seven men,
and all were lost.

THE WORLD REcolLS.
Eorror- Stricken at Appalling Slaugh-
ter in Far East-Tragedy Strong
Appeal for Peace.

Toxic, Oct. 17-There is a strong ap-
peal for peace in the appalling tragedy
which is now under enactment in Man
churia Both armies have fought fero-
ciously for a week and desperate fight
ing still continues. 1t is probable that
the death roll will be largely increased
before the final shot is fired, The pre-
liminary reports indicate that about Co.
600 men of both sides have been either
killed or wounded, the larger portion of
them being Russians, since the armies
of the two belligerents closed in combat.
Even the Japanese, to whom the great
victory is of paramount Importance,
seem to be shocked by the slaughter of
their enemies. The Japanese people are
receiving the news from the field of bat
tie calmly and there can be heard no
shouts in the streets proclaiming the
victory of their nation. Few flags are
displayed. Probably later on there will
be a procession with the consequent jol-
LITIGATION, but there are heard many ex-
pressions of opinion that no demonstra-
ton of any kind should be held.
A member of the diplomatic corps, in
an interview, said: Il believe the world
will recoil from the sickening slaugh-
ter of this battle Every interest of hui
mainly demands the adjustment of the
differences between the two nations, and
the proclamation of peace. The situa-
ton between the two belligerents is q
delicate one, but what a splendid tri-
umph for diplomacy it would be if peace
could be arranged. 1t seems to me that
the question of honor is no longer in
volved. If Russia feels that such Ques-
ton is involved, surely the heroic and
successful defense of Port Arthur and
the valor shown by Russian soldiers on
the fields of Manchuria should forever
determine the quality of Russian cour-
age. Russians should remember that
the distance dividing her strength and
the limitations of her railway are his
! torical factors in this war. These fac
tors are generally known. They are APP
preciated by everybody, and are not
! looked upon as faults"

Of October Is, Gen. Kuropatkin sent the

the night of October 13 large forces of
Japanese attacked the corps drawn up
in line at Shakhe, on the great man
DARN road. Several attacks were re-
pulsed, but the last succeeded and the
corps was broken. At that moment
fighting began on the right flank with q

was that with the rupture of our center,
our whole formation would be threat

might force a retreat.
