Story Of Finding Valencia Victims
is Doubted.
LlNEMAN LOGAN IS IGNORANT
Man Who Helped in Valencia Rescue
Work Does Not Know of Find
ing Boat From Wrecked
Steamer.

VICTORIA, August 2S.-Captain JAS
Gaudin, agent of marine, telegraphed to
Lineman Logan at Pachema asking him
to investigate the finding II boat pre-.
sumably from the steamer Valencia in
a cave on the west coast Of Vancouver
Island, with eight skeletons in it and
the reply received from Logan is that
he has heard nothing of the discovery.
Relatives of the victims of the Valencia
are asking that the report be investi-
gated with an endeavor toward recover
ing and if possible identifying the
victims. While some shipping men are
disposed to think the boat may be one
sent from the King David, wrecked on
Bajo Point, the majority believe it to
be from the Valencia and Mr.. Lugrin,
counsel for the Dominican Government
at the Valencia inquiry, gives it his
opinion that it was boat No. 2 from the
Valencia, the fate of which has never
been cleared up.

End Of Cuban Instruction Eager.
ly Watched in New York.
ANNEXATION BY U.S.. POSSIBLE
If President Palma Finds Himself I'M
able to Cope With the Situation,
He Will Call on the United
States For Aid.

NEW YORK, August 23.-Lively in
terest in the outcome of the political
disturbance in Cuba is evidenced in this
city which has not only harbored from
time to time many of her prominent
men. but is bound to the island republic
by ever strengthening commercial ties.
Advices to business houses here from
Havana insist that the revolt has not
yet assumed alarming proportions, but
tend to qualify the official assurances
that the government has the situation
thoroughly in hand. 1t is believed that
the next few days will demonstrate
whether the present uprisings may be
dignifed with the term rebellion" or are
to be classed with the sporadic outlawry
with which the government has already
successfully coped.
The active loyalty of many Cubans
of influence is admittedly in doubt. To
what extent, if any, the sentiment for
annexation of the United States figures
in the unrest and what stand the
Americans in the Isle of Pines will take
has awakened considerable speculation.
Unofficial efforts to quiet the dis
turbers are told of in dispatch cabled
early to the Associated Press. The dis
patch says that so veterans of the
revolution met last night and in a
resolution pledged themselves to use
their personal influence to bring the
strife to bloodless termination.
John S, Fishke, of the firm of j. M.
Ceballos & Co., Cuban American bank
ers, last night said that the cable ils>
patches received by his firm from Ha-
vana, indicate that there was no need
for alarm at present. He added;
"If President Palma finds that his
government is unable to cope with the
situation, he will call upon the United
States for aid. That would mean paci-
fication first, and then annexation. In
