A special to the Herald from North Truro, says the steamer Portland, Boston & Portland Steamship company, plying between lloston and Portland, was totally wrecked at 10 o'clock Sunday morning off Highland light and the entire crew and passengers perished within a short distance of land. A large quantity of wreckage, includ ing trunks and other material, has come ashore and at dark last niht 34 bodies hd been recovered from the surf by the life saving crew at Highland station. News of the disaster was brought to the Herald through thg agency of a special train as communication to Bos ton by wire from points on Cape Cod is impossible on account of the havoc wrought by the storm. The Portland had 74 people on board when she sailed from Boston Saturday night. This includes officers and crew. From reports by w ire, mail and mes senger to the Associated Press from New England points up to 10 this fore noon, it is difficult to estimate the to tal loss of life and damage to shipping along the coast as a result of the recent storm. The list of disasters seems to grow every hour and from dispatches thus far received it appears that in addition to the loss of the steamer Portland, at least 30 schooners have been wrecked at different points from Eastport, .Mass., to New Haven, Conn.; S6 schooners have been driven ashore and 14 barges loaded or empty are aground. This list does not include 30 vessels either wholly or partially wrecked in Boston harbor, nor half a dozen or more craft which are reported missing, including the Boston and Portland steamer Portland, nor the big Wilson line freighter Ohio, which is ashore on Spectacle island in this harbor; the steamer John J. Hill, which is ashor? at Atlantic; Merchants and Miners transportation steamer Fairfax, ashore on Sow and Pigs ledge off Cuttyhunk, small steamer Georga A. Chaffee, foun dered at Rockport, Mass. When these vessels are added the ag gregate list exceeds 170.

The Navy Department yesterday published through the office of naval intelligence the "values" of Admiral Cervera re garding the Spanish navy in the late war. Captain Clover, the chief intelligence officer, expains that tins is a reprint of a number of letters published in La Epoca of Madrid, on the oth oi ti.e present month. The letters are dated from beiore the war up lo May 7. Tniy were written by Cervera in protect ag'ciinst Spain rustuiii, into war in tie face of a certain deieat due to the na val strength of the L nited States and the unpreparedness oi tne Spanish na--vy. Cervera writes: "I ask myself if it is right for me to keep silent and there by make myself an accomplice in ad ventuies which will surely caue the total ruin of Spain. And for what pur pose? To defend an island wnich was ours, but belongs to us no more; be cause even if we should not lose it by and with all wealth and an enormous number uf youny men, victims of the climate and bullets, in the defense of what is now no more than a romantic ideal. Furthermore, I believe that this opinion of mine snouid be known to the queen and by the w hole council of min isters. 1 have deemed it my duty to express my opinions to the proper au thorities clearly and without beating about the bush. Now let orders be giv en to me. 1 will carry them out with energy and decision; I am ready for the worst." The admiral refers to the Spanisa Pacific force as nut able to afford even a shadow of resistence to the American naval force. Further on he speaks of the war as at last in s ght and laments the incomplete state of the Spanish vessels. But afcer all, he says that he is glad the end is coming and is pre paied to do his uuty. He is on record as protesting against the idea of send .ng tne little toipedo boat tiotilla to Cuba, pointing out that a naval de ieat for Spain would precipitate the ioss of Cuba. He speuks of the sur prise and astonishment experienced by all of the officers of his squadron on receiving olders from Spain to sail from t ape Veide for Cuba, inasmuch as they had united in pointing out the ; oudition of the ships, hays the admi ral: "wtli an ea;,y conscience, I go to die sacrifice, but I cannot understand that decision of the navy general offi cers against my opinions."

LONDON, Nov. 29. The Paris cor respondent of the Times says: The Matin will publish louay (Tuesday) an interview of an English politician with Emperor Nicholas. The interviewer, w ho especially remarked the kindliness and modesty of the czar's demeanor, says he spoke sadly and regretfully of the attempts to embitter the relations of England and Russia. The conver sation mostly turned, however, on the disarmament of France, of which the Czar spoke with the utmost ardor, saying that he wanted a tangible re sult. His majesty suggested that the pow ers might bind tnemselves not to in crease their armaments for live years, at the end of which they inigiit meet again to decide upon future action, i'hey might also settle their atliiude in the events of menace or prospective hostilities. He suggesied as an exam pie of possible action, that the recent Fashoda incident might have been re ferred by England to the United States and by France to Russia. If tnese fail ed to agree there might have been re course to an arbitrator, say the Emper or of Austria. In any case, delay would have made for peace. The czar protested, his interviewer says, with great indignation against ihe idea imputed to him of urging -France and England into conilict, characterizing it as monstrous. NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS.

ONE SPEAKS OUT. Secretary James Wilson An Avowed Imperialist. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. "I do not wish to comment at length on Mr. Car negie's letter printed in this morning's World," said Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson tonight. "Mr. Carnegie makes many state ments entirely unw arranted. His j know ledge of the topics upon which he writes is not conclusive. His reference to me reads nicely, but it is likely to prove embarrassing to me, as many persons who are not in full possession of my views are likely to believe that I am not in accord with the President. The fact is that I have supported Pres ident McKinley in his foreign policy and shall continue to do so. "I am an imperialist." N. Y. World. OFF FOR MACON.
