SIX DAYS AT SEA IN TRAIL OPEN BOAT Seven Men Finally Thrown on Beach Unconscious HAD FEW TINS OF BEEF
  Vessel Turned Completely Over In the Gulf and By Miracle the Men Managed to Get Into
 YaWI.
HAD FEW TINS OF BEEF

Pensacola Fla, January 4.-Six days in an open yawl boat with waves constantly dashing over them and with only few water, is the experience of Captain Bod den and the six members of the crew of the American schooner Nokoms.
 The. men reached here today, being brought from St, Andrews. where they were washed upon the beach in an al- most unconscious condition. with limbs swollen and benumbed. and almost dead from exposure. They were rescued by a party from a small settlement nearby and given attention until they were able to be placed In a boat and brought to Pensacola, where the vessel Is owned.
 The story of the suffering of the men is terrible one. The vessel put out from Gulfport about two weeks ago for Cuba with a cargo of lumber. Shortly after getting to sea, leak was discovered and although the pumps were started, the water continued to rise in the hold until there were several feet. heavy gale then came on and the men began to throw off the deck load. The vessel con tinued to make water and she soon listed heavily The men then decided to abandon the ship and gathered food and nautical instruments, placing them on the cabin house. Just then a big wave swept over the vessel, turning 1t completely over and throwing everything into the sea.
 Almost by a miracle one of the life boats, a jug of water and a few cans of meat were saved. The men then set out for shore and for six days and nights with the seas running almost mountain high, they pulled the open boat some- times not knowing in what direction they were going. Toward the close of the sixth day land was sighted and although an effort was made to keep the boat off the strength of the wearied crew was not sufficient and big wave cast the boat and it's occupants upon the beach near St. Andrews. The men were unable to move, being almost dead from cold and hunger.

Troops in Bitter Mood.

Riga, Wednesday. January 3.-(By cou- rier to St Petersburg, January 4)-There was no conflict between the troops and the revolutionists today, thanks to the extremely stringent measures taken by Governor General Sollogub. The troops however are in very bitter mood, owing to the massacre of their comrades, and it is feared they will get out of hand and execute summary vengeance on the workmen of the Provodnik rubber fac tory, who have surrendered. The gov ernor general, therefore, today ordered an official inquiry and promised that the guilty should be punished. heavy cor don now surrounds the ruins of the fac tory. The soldiers are searching all corners and are making vistations to all the houses in the neighborihood. batterng down the doors wherever there is the slightest delay in opening them with axes which are now supplied to every soldier.
 The troops yesterday took possession of the offices of the Lettish social organ, Denas Lappa, and arrested the editorial force.
 Twelve workmen were killed in the bom- bardment yesterday of the Provodnik rub Der factory

French Delegation Leaves Monday.

Paris, January IA portion of the French delegation to the Moroccan confer ence starts for Algeciras next Monday, as it is now considered that the sessions will open January IS.
 Despite the wave of pessimism concern ing a possible Franco-German deadlock at the conference. French official opinion considers the situation as materially inn proved The grounds for this improve ment of the situation are stated in a high roffcial quarter to be as follows
 "When the recent British ministerial change occurred, 1t was the expectation in Germany that the new liberal ministry would abandon the former ministrys en- ergetic support of the French position regarding Morocco. German diplomacy evidently sought one or two ends, either to create an arrangement between Great Britain, or to create internal differences between the liberal cabint and the sov- erign over Great Britain's policy towards France Any doubts concerning the new cabinets attitude towards France have now been completely removed, and it can be authoritativey stated that the new lib eral ministry occupies exactly the same position as the former Lansdowne minis try relative to supporting the French position in Morocco. This has been made in such a positive form that the French officials feel that it removes one of Ger many's chief reliances in weakening the cause of France. There remains Italy and Spain whose interests in Marocco are considerah q but France has reason to expect .6ir cooperation with British in- fluenee in assisting to that end. More over, it is officially known that the King of Portugal who is ally of Great Brit ain, will proceed to Madrid January 20, thus giving another evidence of unity among the powers having similar views concerning the future of Morocco.
 "The French official views construe these events as warranting a feeling of confidence, that the conference will end in manner satisfactory to all con cerned."

Protected Women and Children.

Moscow, January 4.-Governor General Doubassoff issued a long report today on the events of the closing days of the revolutionary movement and the dispers- al of the revolutionists. He justfies the action of the police and military, and says that the operations of the artil- Ierymen were much hampered by the care taken to preserve the lives and the dwell- ings of peaceful citizens The operations. he says, were suspended for one whole day. for the purpose of permitting the removal of women and children from the quarter in which the rebels were the strongest.
 He charges that the accusations of un- necessary cruelty brought by the news papers against the troops were evidently intended to compromise the army, and to sever the bonds uniting the army with the nation. and that they are, there fore, unworthy of refutation. The gover- nor general says he regards it as in- cumbent upon him to declare that the troops in no way over-stepped the limits imposed upon them by their duty, and their oath of allegiance to the Emperor.

St. Petersburg. January 4.-(6:30 D. m)- Referring to the demands made by for eigners for indemnity as the result of damages sustained by foreign property during the riots in Russia. the foreign office says that in case of riots, as in the case of civil war, military necessity governs the situation, and foreigners have to take their chances with the native pop ulation.
 The officials instanced the revolution in Poland in 1863, and the raris commune, and pointed out that the issue could not be compared with the Chinese or Turkish riots which were directed against the foreign inhabitants of China and Tur-

Differences VIII Arise Over
 Policing the Frontier
FRENCH DEPART ON MONDAY
Second German Delegate to Moroccan Conference Is Understood to Be Opposed to Frances
 Policy in Morocco.

London, January 4.-so long as Ger many confines her demands at the COP r. ence 10 opening Morocco to foreigr ade on an equal basis. there will bl 10 diff ference of opinion at Algecras, said an official of the foreign office to the Asso- eiated Press today.
 There is some fear that the German del- egates may insist on regulations clash ing with what France considers her spe- cial privileges, for instance the policing of the frontier In fact, it is said in trust worthy circles that Germany may intro duce a claim to placing German soldiers in Morocco This France Is certain to refuse and under the agreement Great Britain must uphold her contention. 9th erwise there is no danger of a disagree ment, but it Is impossible to say what might happen, as Germany is maintaining the strictest secrecy regarding her inten- tons

Italian peleaate Named.

Rome, January 4.-The government to- day appointed Senator Marquis Visconti Venosta, former minister of foreign af- fairs, as the first Italian delegate to the Moroccan conference, at the same time withdrawing the nomination of Sgnor Silvestrelli. ambassador at Madrid. For mer Foreign Minister Tittoni repeatedly offered the position to the marquis, who refused it because of the state of his health. He now accepts 1t on the re- quest of King Victor Emmanuel.
 The Marquis Venosti is considered one of the ablest diplomatists.

GUILD NEW GOVERNOR.
New Executive of Massachusetts Talks
 on the Tariff Question.

Boston. January 4.-Curtis Guild, Jr., of Boston was inaugurated governor of Massachusetts today. Tn his inaugural address he defined the attitude of Massa- chusetts in demanding reduction in tariff and more friendly trade treaties. He said:
 Through the conventions of her two great parties, through her general court and governor, members have already de- manded from the national government the construction of a tariff framed to meet the lines of the modern competition. Members ask the removal of such dn- ties as are now needless. the reduction of such duties as were once just. but now are excessive of the United States by more friendly trade treaties with other nations. Massachusetts asks no exclu- sive favors.
 Massachusetts stand at the council board of the nation, not as broken beg gar. whmpering for aims. but as strong man demanding action from his peers"

Delegate Opposed to France.


 The appointment of Count Won Tatten- bash-Aschold, the former special represen- tative of Germany at Fez, as the second delegate of Germany at the conference, has perhaps weakened this feeling of confidence. as he is understood to be op- posed to Frances policy in Morocco. It is unfortunate that suspicious are aroused at this time because it seems impossible to remove them before the conference meets. Therefore the difference must be fought out at Algeeiras.
 While the officials here decline to com- ment on the cabled announcement that the United States stands uncommitted on the question of the policing of the Moroc- can frontier, some disappointment is ex- pressed in other circles because it had been expected that the United States would endorse the position of France in this point, which seems to be the only one on which a disagreement is probable.
