SAVED BY SEAMANSHIP
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A
LITTLE SCHOONER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 29-when the
British topsail schooner Rhoda arrived this
morning and her commander, Capt. Day,
reported all well with the vessel, the agents
OF the schooner, WaIford & Co., of 8 Bridge
street. heaved a sigh OF relief The Rhoda,
two-masted vessel of only 1879 tons. sailed
from the San Bias coast on September %
with cargo Of some 375, 600 cocoanuts and
was SO long overdue that Walford & Co.
had well nigh given her up for lost.
Generally it takes about fifteen days for
vessel such as the Rhoda to make the
trip from the cocoanut coast, but SO tenn
pestuous was the weather and so continu-
GUS were the head winds met by Capt.
Days little ship that it took more than
twice as long to complete the journey.
In most cases one hurricane is enough for
schooner Of 200 tons to handle, but Capt.
Day was called upon to bring his vessel
through three of these overwhelming
storms. In the first of these tremendous
gales, which came on October IA, the YES
sci was sent on her beam ends, and for a
time 1t looked as If she would be engulfed
in the roaring seas This storm, however.
was comparatively mild as compared with
the succeeding tempests.
The second hurricane came on October
II, and the third and worst of the storms
caught the little VeSSel on OCTOBER H. II
was this savage and relentless hurricane
that came near sending Capt Day and his
men to Davy Jones.

ADMIRAL EVANS HERE.
Comforting With Officials Regarding
Disposition Of Vessels.

Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the
Atlantic fleet who is in this city for few
days on public and private business, was at
the Navy Department today in conference
with the authorities in regard to the future
disposition Of the vessels Of his fleet which
are undergoing repairs at the various
yards. The flagship Maine is now at New
York. She will be succeeded as flagship of
the fleet by the newer battleship Connecti-
cut, built at the New York navy yard, as
soon as that vessel is entirely ready for
sea service. which will be within a few
weeks time.
The Connecticut was built in competition
with the battleship Louisiana, but was not
finished as soon as the latter, which is the
product Of the Newport News Shipbulding
Company. The Connecticut is fitted up as a
flagship and Is probably the finest vessel in
the navy.

Anxiety in Official Circles.

There Is more or less anxiety in off1ca
circles regarding the result of the efforts
being made by the military authorities
to force the dissatisfied Ute Indians to re-
turn to their reservation in Utah. All the
available troops are endeavoring to round
up the Indians and escort them back to
their reservation. 1t is estimated that
there are about 1900 troops mostly cav
airy, engaged in that movement. The latest
information received by the War Depart
ment regarding the affair was that the
troops were endeavoring to round up the
Indian fug1tives at a point on the Powder
river In Wyoming, with view to escort
ing them to Fort Meade. s. D., to be de-
tanned there until the authorities here de-
termine their future disposition.
General instructions have been sent to
the military commanders to avoid a fight
with the Indians If possible, and not to
use force unless it is absolutely necessary
in the execution Of their orders DESPITE
the pacific intentions of the authorities it
is not believed that the Indians will con-
sent to go back peacefully. At last &C
counts they were headed for the northern
Cheyenne reservation in Montana with q
view to inducing the tribes on that resera-
ton to join them in opposition to the eff
forts of the troops to compel them to re-
turn to their reservation.
Must Be Overawed.
An army fficer who was sent to the In
dian camp to negotiate for their peaceful
return, found them ugly and sullen in spirit
and has reported to the War Department
that nothing can be done with them unless
they are overawed by superior forces. That
is the reason that military reinforcements
were ordered to the scene. The recalcitrant
Indians number about 500 souls.
The opposing forces are now close to-
gether and a conflict between them Is be-
neved to be imminent unless the Indians see
the folly Of resistance, and accede to the
demands of the military authorities. II
there is a battle 1t will be short, sharp and
decisive, involving the possible extermina-
tion Of the Indians

APPLAUDED CANADIAN M. P.
Mrs. Thurman Tells of Wrongs to
Colored Race.
WOULD KEEP OKLAHOMA DRY
Mrs. Spencer Says Prohibition Clause
Should Be Inserted in the
New Constitution.

HARTFORD, Conn, October 29-Con-
trary to the usual custom meeting OF
the national convention of the Women
Christian Temperance Union was held be-
hind closed doors this morning, the dele
gates converting in Center Church instead
of the regular meeting place, Parsons Ale-
alter.
The various department conferences were
not held today, on account of the execu-
tive meeting. At the latter several con-
vention matters were disposed of. This
delayed for half an hour the opening Of
the general meeting at Parsons Theater.
Among the speakers at this meeting were
Mrs. Lucy Thurman of Michigan, whose
topic was Work Among C0lored People,"
Mrs. Dorcas Spencer, Work Among the
Indians" and DIR. Lucy c. Purington,' Mas
sachusetts Health and Heredity."
At the conclusion of the executive session
1t was announced that nothing would be
given out for publication.
At the convention proper Mrs. ]. c. Stone
of Ohio made an address. in which she
said that if the schools could be enlisted
in the ranks and under the influence of the
W. c. T. y. there would not be a legalized
dram shop in the United States at the end
of twenty years.
Cheered Mr.. Angler.
Canadian parliament, was loudly applaud
ed when he announced that he had never
tasted liquor in his life. He said the way
to stop drunkenness was to keep liquor
away from the children. 1t is the first
glass that makes the drunkard.
Mrs. Thurman, who is a colOred woman,
said that some of the children of her
race in the southern states who had been
stepped in tobacco were breaking away
from its use through the influence of the
w. c. T. o.. She never had occasion to
present resolutions to W. c. 7. U. con-
her race, because she knew the heart of
the organiza ton beat for the peoples OF
all nations.
She told Of her trying experiences during
the racial outbreaks, and concluded with
an appeal for the suppression of strong
drink.
Mrs. Spencer said that a prohibition
clause would be embodied in the new con-
stitution of Oklahoma, and great benefits
said, the Indian would become voter,
and then the race would be given political
consideration, because the Indian vote
would be factor. The bane Of the race
is whisky, but drunken Indian is no
worse than a drunken white man.
The closing address of the morning ses-
sion was made by DR.. burlington, who in
the course Of her remarks touched upon
polygamy. saying that whatever may be-
come of Reed Smoot she did not know what
would happen to the race that was living
other FOODS. She said some of the lemon
juice sold contained 40 per cent Of alco-
hol and was not only a swindle, but a
crime.

BETTER FEELING IN TOKYO.
Good Effect Of Secretary Roots Tele-
gram.

TOXIC, October 29.-There are no signs
whatever Of a growth Of Ill feeling against
Americans in general since the action OF
the Washington government In the San
Francisco public school situation has be-
come known. The public is growing re-
markably calm. The Japanese govern
ment stands on article l., clause 3, of tAe
treaty Of $685. The ultra-Chauvinism of
the San Francisco school authorities is
deemed to be a fragrant violation OF the
treary, but the consensus of opinion, while
fully sympathzng with the delicate situa-
ton confronting the government at Wash
ington, confidently expects President
Roosevelt to abide by the principle Of JUS
tice. Any apprehension Of the boycotting
of American goods Is generally regarded
as absurd. The United States Is the best
customer of the japanese, and 1t is we'll
known that to provoke the Americans
would be suicide. 1t Is feared that ennis
saries of certain power are active in
starting a movement against the Japanese
by exaggerating the situation naturally felt
here against the San Francisco school au-
thoritieS.
Secretary Root has received the following
cab.egram from Ambassador Wright, dated
Toxic today:
substance of your telegram of 23d given
to the press by the Japanese government
has been received with satisfaction by the
Japanese people and has had a very quiet
ing effect"
