WILMINGTON, H. C. Tuesday Mornino, Dec. 15, 1896 LOST AT SEA. Boboonor Amelia P. Bohmidt, from Wil ' mint ton for Jaome), Baiti The Crew Baeoned. Br Telegraphlothe Moraine Star, New York, December 14. The Clyde Line steamer Saginaw, Capt. Johcson, which arrived this morning from Saa Domingo and TurkV: Island, brought from the latter - port Capt. Records, Mate Thompson and five of the crew of the schooner Amelia P. Schmidt, ot Brideeton N. J., whea sailed from Wil m ins too, N. C, November 11th, for lacmel. Hayti, lumber-laden. Capt. Records reports that on November SOib, at 8 d. m.. bis ship was run into dt an unknown two-masted.schooner.Previous to the collision the Schmidt had been leaking slightly. Toe force of : tne collision was such that all her masts were carried away and the vessel so badly strained that the leak increased. On December 1st three feet of water were found in the hold, although the oamos were kept constantly going. It was then decided to jettison the deck load of lumber, with the result that the leak decreased slightly. The wind which had been blowing from the northeast for upwards of fourteen days, now gradually iccreased in force until it blew a gale. The vessel labored heavily, causing the leak to Raja rapidly in spite of the efforts of the crew, and la a tew nours tne schooner became waterlogged. Capt. ' Records and bis crew stood by the vessel until the 5ih. when the brig Ga briel, Capt. Mundy, which had been blown from her anchorage at Salt Bay, Turk's Island seventeen days previously during the gale, hove in sight and bore down towards them. A boat was launched and with difficulty, owing to the high sea. they were rescued by the crew of the Gabriel, which then bore up for Turk's Island. Oa December 8, . fifteen miles northwest of Grand Turk, v the shipwrecked marine! s were trans ferred to a pilot i boat and succeeded in reaching Turk's Island just previous to the sailing of the Saginaw for this port. 'Before the Schmidt was abandoned it was decided to set her on fire, as she was directly in the track of vessels and would prove very dangerous to naviga tion. .' The Amelia P. Schmidt registered SS6 tons, and was built in 1883 at Bridgeton, N. J. . , , SPOTS AND FUTURES. New Tork Sun's Barlow of the Cotton Market.

Mid dling uplands 70, against 8 9-16c!ast year; New Orleans and Gulf 7 J$c, against 8 1816c last year. The trading to-day was active and ex cited, with frequent and violent fluctua tions in price. Indications of an in creased movement to the ports led to general selling and prices broke sharply here and in Liverpool. Numerous stop orders were caught on the way, contri buting to the weakness. The suspension of John Collins & Sons, and later on of W. D. Rountree & Co were depressing factors, and the large estimates for New Orleans and Houston to-morrow also combined to weaken the tone. There was a slight rally before the close on buying for Southern and Liverpool ac count and covering ol shorts, but the last prices showed a sharp net loss for the day. The receipts at the ports proved to be even, larger than the early estimate, and the total for two days is tmSO0 bales larger than in the same time last week. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. ' St. Louis," Dec. 14. Volunteers for the relief of the Cuban insurgents are being mobilized in this city, and next Friday, if all plans are carried out suc cessfully, 1,000 men will leave Ne w Or leans for Cuba. Two hundred of these are St. Louisiana, the remainder coming from East. St. Louis and points south of here on the lines of the Illinois Central and Irony Mountain Railroads. Julian VanGerst, of New Orleans, will be in charge of the expedition, with W. C Carter, J. L. Goodner and Cornelius Knott, of this city, as aides. The quar tette met here to-day and completed ar rangements. VanGerst and Knott will leave this evening on the Illinois Cen tral, picking up the men on that road as far south as Cairo, and perhaps Mem phis, and will then proceed via steam boat to New Orleans. Cleveland. Ohio. December 14. All the morning a stream ot men poured into - the rooms of A. DsArango, the local Cuban leader, and volunteered to join the Cuban army. It is estimated that there were one hundred and arty ol them, a large number of them well dressed voung men ot good education and - apparently good circumstances. They were told that no more men were needed. Eleven women individually offered to go as nurses. . The majority bore marks of refinement and some had evidences ot wealth.- They wete advised to write to the Junta, in New York. Columbus.Ohio, December 14. The Evening Press, in a guarded editorial. urges soldiers in the united states army here who may be discharged, and others of military training, to join the Cuban insurgent movement It also suggests that a fund la aid of the Cubans be raised here, and says that one sub scription of $100 has already been offered for their cause. New York, December 14. The Cuban Junta in New street had more callers to-day than on any one day since its establishment. Americans to the number of between 700 and 800, nearly enough to constitute a regiment, tramped up stairs and asked that fhey be enlisted in the army of Cuba Libre. Not one of them was accepted. The laws of the United States prohibit the enlistment of med here for foreign armies. The men who want to fight for the cause for which Maceo died have been so numerous lately that the Cuban , leaders have . issued to applicants by letter a printed form declining the services of the sym pathizers. Delegate f alma received over a score of telegrams to-day from Jack sonville. Key, West, Tampa, Dallas, Texas, Paris, France, Hayti and differ ent points in Mexico, stating that meet ings were being held for the discussion of the Cuban question and asking lor in telligence regarding Maceo's alleged death. - A petition urging Congress to take some definite action in the conflict now being waged between the Cubans and Spaniards and expressing sympathy for the former is now being circulated in this city among merchants and business men and is receiving many signatures. Dallas, Texas. December 14. The Cuban situation is the main subject of consideration in this section of Texas. There is almost uanimous feeling, and public sentiment is in favor of the patriots. Dallas is the centre of activity. Two secret meetings were held to-day. It is known that enlistments are sec being made. To-night the first de parture of men from North Texas under recent recruiting was made. Twenty three recruits, divided in three parts, took rail transportation by different routes for the Gulf coast, eight for Gil veston, nine for New Orleans and six for Florida. From these points they will be furnished means for reaching the island and supplied with the best quality of equipment and abundant ammunition. The feeling is intense here against Spain, as the belief is general that Maceo s death was the work of hired assassin, and treachery. ANXIETY IN WASHINGTON. Qorernment Officials Watohing SMibuiterirjg Development Closely Determined to Preserve neutrality in the Cu te n Btrncgle. 1 By Telegraph to the Morning Star. " Washington, December 14. The feeling that has been aroused through out the country by the- reported aisac si- nation of Maceo, the Cuban insurgent, is causing the Government officials here no little anxiety and thev are watching developments closely. The daily pub lished dispatches giving accounts of meetings . throughout this coun try, in which not only resolutions sympathizing with Cuba are adopted but measures taken to send armed men and munitions of war to Cuba, are receiving strict attention in Government circles here. Even if Government officials did not so closely advise themselves thev would not be allowed to remain in ignorance of passing events, as Senor DeLome, the Spanish Minister, has agents at all the principals ports along the Atlantic seaboard and in the larger cities who report to him almost daily, and these reports and their contents are daily laid before the State Department. One thing that can be positively as serted is that the United States will ex haust all their efforts to preserve its neutrality engagements, and thus stop any claim for damages by Spain on ac count of violation of nentrality laws. It is with this object in view that the ves sels Newark and Raleigh leit Key West to-day. They have gone to sea to inter cept if possible the Three Friends,which is reported to have left Fernandina, Fia., bound, it is alleged, on a filibustering ex pedition. Secretary Herbert wasasked to-night about the reports that the Newark and Raleigh had left for Havana to prevent the exeoation of the crew of the Com petitor, which had recently been cap tured by the Spaniards. He said that the vessels bad gone to sea so suddenly for the purpose of preventing the neu trality laws of the United States from being violated. He was quite emphatic about the Competitor rumor and said: "In the first place, I know nothing about the expected execution of the crew of the Competitor, therefore have not ordered vessels to Havana to stay their execution." ' In otner naval quarters, it was inti mated if such was the Intention of the Government, it would amount virtually to a deelaratioa of'war to back up such a demand by the presence of war vessels, for if the demands were refused the only alternative left to preserve the dignity of this Government would be to en deavor to enforce the demand at the cannon's month. Gen. Fitzhngh Lee, Consul General to Cuba, arrived at the Marlboro Hotel, New York, yesterday, accompanied by his wife and daughter. They will leave for Cuba Thursday. . -The noatera BEotber Has found that her little ones are im ? roved more by the pleasant Syrup ol igs, when is peed of the laxative effect of a gentle remedy than by any other, and that it Is more acceptable to them.

The re ported assassination of the Cuban Gen eral Antonio Maceo, while under s flag of truce, was the text ot a resolution offered to-day in the Senate by Mr. Call of .Florida, Democrat, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The resolution characterizes-the affair as a violation of the rules of civilized warfare and as a -cowardly act of treachery. It delates the Government which authorized and permitted it, or failed to punish the assassins, "an out cast from the family of nations and from the pale of civilization and public law." The Committee on Foreign Ke lations is instructed to inquire into the facts and to report to the Senate at an early day. Another resolution of Mr. Call's, which was similarly . referred, requested the President of the Uaited States to de mand the release of all United States citizens field by the Spanish Govern ment as prisonei s at Cental ' Mr. Morgan offered a Cuban resolu tion, upon which he gave notice he would to-morrow address the Senate. The Senate then took up the pension calendar and passed fifty-five private pension bills, nearly all of them for in creases of pension. Then, after a short executive session the Senate at 8 80 ad journed until to-morrow. ; HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. By a vote of yeas 98 and nays 85, the House refused to pass over the President's veto a bill granting a pension to the divorced wife of Lowell Talt, ot the Eighteenth Regiment, Connecticut volunteers, infantry, who died of alco holism in a soldiers' home. A joint resolution was passed prdvid ing for a holiday recess from December to January oto. . .. ..-"-v. Mr. Hull ol Iowa, Republican, chair man of the; Committee on Military Affairs, reported the Army Appropria tion bul. He stated that it carries an appropriation ot 133,128,844; which is about $756,000 less than the estimates of the Secretary Of War and $158,000 below the appropriation for the present year. A joint resolution recognizing the in dependence of Cuba was introduced by Mr, Howard, Populist, of Alabama. It recites the profound regret of the Amer icari people at toe reported "brutal as sassination of the Cuban leader Maceo.' It declares that Spain , is conducting : brutal and guerilla-like warfare against a patriotic people who are struggling for their independence, even as did the loun ders of this republic. It resolves, there fore, that the United States shall recog nize Cuba as a tree and independent government, and shall accord to her all such rictus in the rxrts and within the jurisdiction of the United States.

The Cuban League of the United States was for mauy organized id iuis wur mil evening. The men behind this movement are so well known and carry so much weight that it is beyond a doubt that this is the beginning of a movement that will take no small part in the history of both countries having, as it does, the com plete independence of Cuba from Spain for its principal object. A League under the same name existed during the ten years' war. Many ot the original members of the League were among those who met in Parlor D. R. of the Fifth Avenue Hotel tor inaugurate the movement which has for its aim the in dependence of Cuba. The meeting or ganized with CoI fc-than Allen as prest dent and the following as vice presi dents: Charles A. Dana, former Gov ernor Roswell P. Flower, former Post' master General Thomas M.

Allen read this call : "We, the undersigned citizens of this Republic, anxious for the success of all people in obtaining the civil and politi cat liberty which this nation secured more than a century ago and still enjoys, unite in organizing the Cuban League of the United States ot America, "The object of this League is to secure for Cuba by all lawful, peaceful and hon orable means, the political independence which her patriots are now endeavoring by tremendous sacrifice ol treasure and life to gain, to encourage them with our sympathy and moral support and to arouse the whole nation to demand an end of the campaign of murder and de atruction in that island. "Mindful of the help which our fathers received in a similar struggle, we are constrained by a sense of gratitude to return to Cuba the kindness which was so effectively given to us. "It is apparent to all thoughtful ob servers that Spain has not the power to crush the Cuban patriots, and therefore the continuance ol the cruel struggle in iuoa can only prolong a sense of abase ment and humiliation in the minds of all men who are confident that this Repub- has the power to end it, and is in nor called upon to do so for the nigh' est good of all parties directly con cerned'' ..; ; This call was signed by all of the men above named.- Other prominetit signa tures attached to it were Generals Howell Clayton, A.

AU' len called particular attention to the heroic struggle that the Cubans had made against their mother country, and he added that now the Spaniards had departed from the path of honorable warfare and had become murderers and assassins, If the representations of Gen. Maceo's horrible death were true. : I Col. Allen predicted that the move ment thus started would become his toric "We want to inflame the patriot ism and honor of our people," said Col. Allen, "into a torch that will kindle the honest effort of every liberty-loving American, so that this horrible butchery shall cease and the independence of the island of Cuba be an established tact," A monster mass meeting will be he'd in Cooper Union- next Monday night, when Senator Morgan of the Foreign Relations Committee; and Representa tive Hitt of the same committee in the House.
