The disaster was the result of
fierce gale which ragged along the coast
during the night and early morning.
Lashed by the storm, an immense
wave struck the vessel with terrific
force about 2:3O o'clock this morning.
The impact, coming just as the vessel
was making turn, caused shift of
the cargo and the vessel leaned over
and sank Immediately.
The accident occurred so quickly
that only two Of those aboard her-an
Italian and Spaniard-were able to
save themselves. They succeeded in
getting into lifeboat, reached Amelia
beach about noon and on landing told
the story of the disaster.

APPEAL TO ROCKEFELLER.
Paris Paper Asks Him to Pay War In.
IA demnity to Jaapn.

Paris, Aug, 27.-Owing to the reports
from Portsmouth indicating that the
question of peace between Russia and
Japan hinges Solely on Russia paying
an indemnity to, Japan, the Matin
cal led last night remarkable appeal
to John D. Rockefeller at Cleveland.
The appeal In part follows:
"The question Of money threatens
to unloosen afresh and with redoubled
violence the scourge Of war. President
Roosevelt is making noble and heroic
efforts to end the struggle between the
two. nations, whose populations amount
to @one-seventh of the entire popula-
tion of the globe. His initiative hon.
ors America In the opinion Of the civil
lized nations.
"The question arises as to whether
another American would not share the
glory Of Mr.. Roosevelt and complete
his work by overcoming the sole OBJ
stacle now hindering peace. He would
thus demonstrate the might of money
in powerful and generous hands.
'The Matin, constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment, ad-
dresses the richest citizen in the
world
The appeal concludes with lengthy
arguments showing the immense bene-
fits such an act would confer upon CIV
ilization.

night concerning the cablegram from

revelation contained In the Associated
Press exclusive announcement that Ia

that Japan was ready to waive the
question OF indemnity and submit the
price to be paid for the northern half
of Saghalin to the judgment of a mixed
commission, prepared the way for ia
pans Dackdown upon the main issue.
The announcement had been the sen
sation Of the day. 1t had met with de-
malls high and low. 1t was decided to
be impossible or incredible. The Jap
anese declined to afirm and the Rus
SLAMS said they had NO confirmation.
NJ. Witte intimsted strongly that St.
Petersburg had not apprised him of
any such action by the President.
There was even a disposition to ridi-
cule the idea of arbitrating the price of
half of the island. Nevertheless on all
hands it was admitted that II Japan
took this position, the ground was cut
out from under Emperor Nicholas.
The Associated Press has definite
knowledge that several days ago Pres
ident Roosevelt was authorized on be-
half of Japan to waive all claims for
indemnity or reimbursement for the
cost Of the war. and to cede back to
Russia the northern half of Saghalien
island, leaving the question of re-
demption price of the sale to arbitra-
tion Of mixed commission.
This statement was transmitted to
the Russian Emperor through the
American ambassador at st. Peters
burg. An Associated Press telegram
announced that the Cars reply was

Portsmouth. n. H.. Aug. fS.-The
life al the peace conference to-day
seems. to hang by thread. but the
thread will not be broken to-day. AT
10 O'Clock last night after conference
between Mr.. Takahira and N. Witte.
In the latters room in the hotel annex,
lasting three-quarters OF an hour, the
announcement of postponement vas
made.
N. Witte explained to the Associated
Press that Mr.. Takahira had told him
that no new instructions had reached
him from Toxic, and. fearing none
might be received before the meeting
scheduled for this afternoon. he had
suggested the propriety Of postponing
the meeting until Tuesday. To this ~.
Witte said he had readily assented.
Mr.. Takahira made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
''Inasmuch - this conference was
initiated by the friendly once Of your
Prestdent, after consultation We felt
that We should be cautious about ter
minating its lAbors."
Pressed a. to whether he regarded
the situation ~ hopeless. Mr.. Takahira
said:

tions. representing practically all the

Hague conference, and secondly, in
bringing together the plenipotentiaries
of Russia and Japan.

Hague in the interest of International
peace and its profound thanks for your
noble efforts in the interests of hu-
manity to terminate the Russo-Japa.
nese war"
The congress afterward discussed
the American proposition for model
arbitration treaty. Congressman Rich
ard Bartholdt spoke In favor of it.
Herr. Won Plener, president of the
Austrian upper house, opposed imme.
diate action, owing to the magnitude
of the subject.
Mr. Bartholdt Also presented the re.
port in behalf of the United States.
King Leopold received the delegates
to the congress yesterday afternoon
He conversed with each of the Amer
can members, expressing his admra-
tion for the United States, and saying
