SAILOR SPINS YARN
SAYS MEN BELIEVED TO BE DEAD
 ARE ALIVE.
Declares Hundreds of Men From Spau- ish Vessel Sunk at Cavite Are Held in Captivity by
 FiIlDinoa

| Madeira, Nov, 17-Widely circulated l declarations made by a Spanish sailor who served during the Spanish -Ameri- can war that a large number of the spaniards who were captured by Fili- pino bands during the war are still prisoners of the tribesmen, are causing an animated discussion throughout | Spain.
 The sailor, whose name is Vulguera, was a member of the crew of the | Spanish cruiser Reina Maria Cristina which was destroyed by the United States warships during the engagement at Cavite. Of the crew of 627, ac- cording to Vulguera, 319 were drowned but the others, including himself, l saved themselves by swimming Co shore. On land, however, they fell into the hands of the Tagalos, who led them to the island of San Juan, del Monte in the. province of Bulacan. Here they were held captives and sub jected to brutal treatmeRt The Americans, the sailor claims, were quite unable to force their way into this re- mote country.
 Thus for nine years the prisoners led a miserable existence, forced to labor with the beasts in the fields, and always inadequately nourished. Many succumbed to their suffering. On the tenth of last June. Vulguera says, he and ninety of his companions sue ceeded in escaping at night. by swim ming to a nearby island. But in this attempt at freedom twenty-eiG.it perished by drowning. The others eventually reached Manila. Recently VuIguera arrived at Cadiz.
 The sailor. traversing the country has informed many families that their relatives, supposed to be dead, are un- doubtedly in the Philippines
 Many women visited by Vulgeura who had remarried have been informed by the sailor that their first husbands are still alive. The news has created consternation in many quarters. Vui- guera goes even further and declares that as many as 4.000 Spaniards are in captivity in inaccessible parts of the archipelago
 The sailors narrative is questioned by officials. but some inquiry will be made, 1t is believed.

GOLD FROM PARIS.

French Bankers Much Interested in American Situation.
 Paris, Nov. 17.-Some of the French bankers who supported recent futile negotiations between J. P. Morgan & Co. and the Bank of France to obtain between 30,000,000 and $40.00O, 900 in gold for direct shipment to New York consider it possible that some other method may be found to procure gold from the bank direct to America.
 In certain quarters. there is believed to be connection between the attitude of the French government toward the release of gold and the pending Franco American tariff negotiations at Wash ington.
 The financial articles which appear In Paris the end of each week are en- tirely given over to discussing the growing effect of American financial situation on -urope. All the financial writers agree that the Bank of France could spare certain amount of gold, but they differ as to how far the send ing of few millions would relieve the situation.
 Both The Temps and The Journal des Debats doubt whether the amount of money that Europe could furnish would afford much relief. The crisis, they. say, Is distinctly a credit crisis The remedy is home remedy which must be applied vigorously in order that public confidence be restored. The Temps insists that the United States should substitute for it's present inco- herent financial organization the cen- tral European bank system to which it is now appealing for aid.
