WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 90
Senor Calvo, the minister from Costa
Rica, who is the chairman of the
committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the next Pan American
conference, had a conference with
Secretary of State Root concerning
the matter and came to a complete un
drestandine. President Roosevelt
will probably refer to the advisability
of holding such a conference in his
message to congress, and it is expected
that soon after the opening Of con-
gress the committees will hold a meet
ing to determine the program and to
decide. wnere the conference is to be
held There is strong sentiment in
favor of holding the conference in Bra
zil but the Argentine Republic has
also made a strong bid. Most of the
projects indorsed at the second con-
ference, which was held in the City of
Mexico, four years ago, have been
carried out. The sanitary conference
recommended has recently closed its
labors A coffee conference was held
two years ago, and other matters have
been handled through the bureau of
American republics. The second con-
ference was composed Of delegates
from nineteen republics. Since its
adjournment, two more have been
born. Cuba and Panama, both of
which, it is expected, will be repre-
sented at the approaching meeting.

Perished.

ST. MALO, Nov. 2O.-Defnite IN
formation Of the wreck of the steamer
Hilda is lacking. Reports this morning
from various points on the coast state
that 81 bodies have been recovered.
Fifteen were washed ashore at Brest,
France.
It is difficult to obtain even the most
meager details of occurrences aboard
the Hilda. It is now stated that Cap
tain Gregory fired rockets which
were answered by the keepers of
the Jardin lighthouse. Apparently
the replies We're not seen or were mis-
interpreted. So far 81 bodies have
been washed ashore, among them be-
ing that of Captain Gregory and that
of Chief Officer Pearson.
There are evidences that Captain
Gregory lost his bearing in a driving
snow storm and ran onto the rocks.
Water reached the boilers and cauS-
ed an explosion, tearing the ship into
three pieces. The passengers were
drowned in their state rooms. The
body of the first mate was found, his
dead hand grasping a life belt which
he had no time 20 put on. A capsized
life boat was found on the beach near
where the Is bodies We're recovered.
1t is presumed the casualties will
reach SO.
