NEW ENGLAND'S GREAT DESOLATION More Than 250 Persons Known to Have Been Lost And Still Other Places Are to be Heard From. FIFTY-SIX VESSELS WERE TO TALLY WRECKED FORTY-1 NINE ASHORE. BOSTON. Nov. 30. The news of the loss of the Boston and Portland Steam Packet company's steamer Portland, off Cape Cod, and the death of more than 150 persons, comprising passen gers and crew of the steamer and the j news from hitherto unheard of ports on i Cape Cod showing at least a score and a half vessels were wrecked along that shore with the loss of 12 lives, has come as a dire climax to the previous report of disasters resulting from Sat urday night's storm. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DEAD There are still other places to be heard from on both sides the Cape which have not been reached by train on account of washouts and which are cut off from other means of communis cation by broken wires, blocked high ways and shattered bridges. Whiie the total loss of life cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy, it is known that more than 2,'oti persons have perished. This estimate is made on the basis oi only one from each crew reported miss ing, each one of which would incude at least three, while larger schooners have seven or eight men on board. An attempt to estimate the financial losses sustained by shipping is equally difhcuit, but it appears that the bulk of the damage done was between Capc Ann. where a score or moie vessels were lost, and Cuttyhunk, where the steamer Warwick is on the rocks. THE GREAT LOSS OF VESSELS. From present reports it is known that 56 vessels were totally wrecked, while 49 are ashore with hardly a chance of being saved, of the 56 total wrecks, barges not included, 43 craft aggregate 12.2U2 gross tonnage. Ot those in perilous positions 2s aggregate 715& tons. The stranding of the big English liner Ohio and the ocean tug Tamaqua are not included in the es timate given, nor many of the big coai barges ashore in iiosion harbor. The position of these latter craft is now dangerous, for they had not expected the northeast storm which began this morning. THE WRECK OF THE PORTLAND. ORLEANS, Mass., Nov. 3X Five bodies have been recovered here from the Portland. The vessel was wrecked just north of Cape Cod. The wreckage and a great many bodies are drifting south, possibly as far as Nantucket. It is thought the northeast gale today will bring the bodies in. The entire Cape is patrolled. The body of Dudley Freeman is the only one identified as yet ANOTHER STORM NOW ON. BOSTON, Nov. 30. Another heavy northeast snow storm started here just before 7 o'clock this morning and an hour later settled down in a way that promised several inches of snow at least. A brisk wind of 20 miles an hour is blowing from the northeast. These con ditions greatly interfere with the work that is being done at points where ves sels are wrecked, as the sea is running high and snow thick on the water. Weather bureau of&oMtls state that the storm will probably continue all day. THE, STORM IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. The storm which began last night with rain fol lowed by hail and snow, blocked traffic in the suburbs today and delayed it in the city. While the storm had not the severity of the blow Saturday and Sun day, coming so soon on the heels of that storm, it increased the difficulties of the situation. Even the elevated lines suffered today and many persons were obliged to walk long distances in order to get down town. The main line of the Long Island railroad is again blocked and on a number of its local branches also traf fic is suspended. A train is buried in a snow bank at Minola. The trouble is aggravated- by high wind which refilled the cuts made through drifts that re sulted from Sunday's storm. STORIES OF INCOMING STEAMERS BOSTON. Nov. 30. The steamer Orion, Capt. Smith, reached here this afternoon after an eventful passage from Newport News, during which she sighted the lost barges Ocean Belle for Providence, and Enos Soule, for this port. Of the crew of the Ocean Belle four men were saved. The fate of those on the Soule is not known. The Orion, with tows, ran into a heavy blizzard Sunday morning, south east of winter quarter shoal, and being buffeted about for some time, the Ocean belle opened in the seams. The steamer succeeded with difficulty in taking off the four men. Meantime the Enos Soule drifted away and although the steamer searched for some time she was unable to locate her. The freight steamer Brookline ar rived today, 48 hours late, from Port Antonio. On the evening of the 27th off Cape Hatteras, the Brookline ran into a gale which pounded the vessel so that it was necessary to heave to 36 hours. First Officer Holville was seriously in jured, being thrown down by the heavy SNOW IN THE WEST. DENVER. Nov. 30. The storm south and west of Denver is the worst known for years. Snowslides reported on all roads. The snow ts 10 feet deep in some places. SPANISH SOLDIERS. Gen. Butler Says 70,000 Will Soon Have Gone From Cuba. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. Major General M. C. Butler had another con ference with the President yesterday concerning affairs In Cuba. In an in terview he said: "Since the American commissioners have been in Havana, about 20,000 boI diers have been Bent back to Spain. Thirty-two transports will soon arrive there and take away from 50,000 to 60. 000 more. The remainder will depart about the first of January or soon af terward." A Wrecked Schooner. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. The steamer Leon, from Port Antonio, reports hav ing passed a w recited schooner yester day, latitude 37. 41. longitude 74.21. The schooner was without a mast and the hull was well down in the water. Name not ascertained. . BEING TRIED FOR BLACKMAIL. Jay Gould's Children in Court in New York to Testify. ALBANY. N. Y., Nov. 29. Mrs. Mar garet Cody's trial on indictments for blackmail were begun in the Albany county court before Judge Clifford D. Gregory today. Mrs. Cody has been in the county jail since May, having been indicted on the charge of blackmail. It is alleged in the indictment that she wrote letters to Miss Helen and George J. Gould on February 11 and March 9, 1898, respect ively, asking them to call on her and promising them that she would give them what was alleged to be valuable information she had to enable them to effect a compromise or discontinuation of the action then pending against the heirs of the late Jay Gould to establish the dower rights of Mrs. Angell, on the ground that she was the first wife of Jay Gould. Miss Helen. Gould and her aunt. Mrs. Eliabeth Palm, were present at the trial today. After a jury had been em panelled, George Gould was placed upon" the stand as the first witness. He identified two letters from Mrs. Cody which were received by him in February, 1896, and September. 1895. These letters suggested that Mrs. Cody had reasons for discontinuing the case of Mrs. Angell against the Gould heirs. He never had a personal interview with Mrs. Cody. Mrs. Angell, who alleged that she was married to Jay Gould when he was young surveyor and who afterwards confessed she had no basis for her statement, had been summoned as a witness on behalf of Mrs. Cody. Mrs. Cody has been confined in the Albany jail since her arrest in New York City last May, just as she was about to sail for Europe, where she was going to represent American claimants to the Shepard estate in England. HCBSON'S MANLY STAND. vAhyh Rcfattdtn Otfer of S50.000 To Lvcture. NEW YORK, Nov. 29. Lieut. Rich mond Pearson Hobson has recently re fused an offer of $50,000 from a New York lecture bureau for a number of lectures during the season. Explaining the reason for this refusal to a friend Lieutenant Hobson said: "It wouid be idle for me to say that I did not con sider the proposition. I did. My people are all in moderate circumstances, but my reflection led me to this conclusion: "Before the sinking of the Merrimae my lectures would have been worth probably not more than 50 cents. The sinking of the Merrimae seems to have made them worth $50,000. The work which so suddenly raised my stock in the literary trade was done in simple execution of my duty as an officer oT the American navy. I did not feel that I had a right to use the performance of that duty for my financial betterment. I, therefore, declined the offer of the $50,000. I have, however, agreed to con tribute some articles to one of the mag azines, but this is different, and, I might add, carries no independent for tune with It." Another offer was made to Lieuten ant Hobson Saturday at Annapolis oi J200 for a 20-minute talk at Norfolk, which offer he also refused. JUST WHAT WE GOT. The Cessions Under the Peace Trea ty Agreed Upon Yesterday. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. The gov ernment has been officially advised of the successful termination of the peace negotiations with Spain. A cablegram to this effect which had been received from Chairman Day, ,was read at yes terday's cabinet meeting by the Secre tary of State. By the terms of the treaty, which will be signed during the present week. Spain surrenders to the United States her sovereignty in the Philippine archi pelago and Guam island, one of the Ladrone group. In lieu of all claims to indemnity the United States will pay Spain the sum of $20,000,000 in gold or its equivalent. Before returning to the United States our Paris commissioners will secure from the Spanish representatives, if possible, a proposition for the sale to the United States of Strong, island, one of the Caroline group, some distance east and south of Luzon, for a cable station. Should Spain, however, de cline to sell the island for a reasonable sum the matter wi'l be dropped for the present at least. The possible cession of this island is not involved in the pending treaty and no pressure vill be brought to bear to Induce Spain to part with it. THE ORACLE HAS SPOKEN. The Administration's Program is Marked Out. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 29. Senator Hanna was asked last evening: "Do you believe that there will be a special session of Congress after the short term?" "I do not. Further I do not believe that the business men of the country want it." "Will the Nicaraguan canal matter come up for discussion at this term of Congress?" "It certainly will. This is one of the most important measures in the Sen ate at present, and I am sure that it will be taken up early. The establish ment of a government for the Hawa iian islands will be disposed of. The treaty of peace with Spain will also be discussed and disposed of early." "Do you favor increasing the stand ing army?" "I do. I think it should be increased to 100,000. I believe that this matter will be discussed at the short term." LEFT FULL-HANDED, is the Charge Against Cattle This Plunger Gillett. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 30. The liabilities of Grant C. Gillett. the ab sconding Kansas cattle plunger, con tinue to grow and the belief is that he prepared for the crash months ahead. "Gillett must have taken hundreds of thousands with him," said a prominent member of one of the caught commis sion firms. "It was at first supposed that, find ing himself in straits for the first time, Gillett had simply thrown up every thing and left penniless. But we know now that he owed a million and a half dollars and we cannot find where he in vested or spent more than half that sum." There is a scramble at the stock yards for every train load of Gillett cattle shipped in from Woodbine ranch. DON CARLOS BUYS RIFLES. Spain ProtestsTAgainst the Spanish Pretender's Acts. LONDON, Nov. 29. A dispatch from Rome says that the Spanish Ambassa dor has complained to the Italian gov ernment that the residence of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, at Venice. Is the seat of anti Spanish revolutionary machinations. He lamented the sale of 20,000 rifles from the Brescia arsenal to Don Carlos. The latter really purchased the wea pons through a private speculator who has not been paid. British Steamer Damaged. MTJIDEN. Holland, Nov. 30. The British tank steamer Astrakhan, Cap tain Davies, from New York November 10, arrived today, two boats gone and bulwarks damaged by heavy weather encountered In passage. THE PEACE TREATY NOT SIGNED TODAY An Adjournment is Taken Un til Tomorrow. The Work is Progressing Very Satisfactorily. COMPLETE RELATION BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES WILL LIKE LY BE RESUMED. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. Contrary to what seems to be the general expec tation, the peace treaty will not be signed at; Paris today. The commissioners are now proceed' ign with the negotiations with a rapid ity that is eminently satisfactory to all concerned, but it is said to be simply a physical Impossibility for all the sub jects requiring adjustment to be closed up immediately. Respecting the various matters that are to beT covered by the treaties by Spain, which have been unsettled by the denunciation of those treaties at the be. ginning ef the war it is the present purpose to adopt the simple expedient of providing for a renewal of those treaties ih the general articles. Nothing will be said perhaps in the treaty itself as to the institution of ne gotiations to replace these old treaties with more moderate conventions, but it is not doubted that at a convenient time such negotiations will be had, though it is not desired that the con clusion of the peace treaty be retarded by embarking this time upon the dis cussion of these complex and delicate questions. Therefore, if this view is correct, the peace treaty will be of wider scope than was in contemplation a few days ago, for in this single doc ument provision will likely be made for complete resumption of relations, diplomatic and otherwise, between the two countries. PARIS, Nov. 30. The joint peace commission aevotea two nours ana a half today from 2 to 4:30 drafting the three first articles of the peace treaty, dealing with the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, upon which the commissioners agreed in principle. General discussion of the other articles followed, but no decision was reached and the joint commission adjourned until tomorrow. MUNICIPAL LEAGUE. National Body Begins Its Sixth Con ference. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30. The sixth conference of the National Municipal League began this afternoon at the Commercial club. This is the most im port&nt meeting of the league since its organization.

Christian govern ment leagues, good citizenship leagues and the like, all over the country. Charles Richardson, vice-president, is presiding in the absence of President Sarter of New York. THE GATE CITY SAFE. The Savannah Liner Thought to Have Ridden the Storm. BOSTON, Nov. 30. There appears to be little basis for apprehension as to the safety of the steamer Gate City, of the Savannah line, in spite of the re port which reached here last night that a life preserver bearing the name of" the steamer was picked up on Cape Cod.The steamer Chattahoochee, which arrived here last night, reports hav ing passed the Gate City off Montauk Point, L. I., Monday afternoon, and there was nothing amiss with the Sa vannah liner as far as could be ob served. The storm was over at the time the Gate City was seen. H E A LTH OF A R M Y. It Has Greatly Improved During the Past Two Months. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. That a great improvement in the health of the army has taken place in the last two months is shown by the last reports to the surgeon general from the field and general hospitals. The hospitals at Chickamauga Park are emptied and abandoned. This same is true of divis ion field hospitals at Camp Hamilton, Lexington, Ky., and at Jacksonville, Fla. The hospital trains which carried nearly 4000 sick men from various camps to general hospitals are now ly ing idle at Washington. NOTED HORSES SELL CHEAP.

THEY MAY NOT GO TO CUBA REGULAR ARMY MEN MAY TAKE PLACE OF VOLUNTEERS. WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. If Con gress early in the session should make provision for an increase in the regular army it is quite probable that none of the volunteer regiments in the service will be sent to do garrison duty' in Cuba. The troops first to be sent t Cuba will be composed largely of regu lar regiments, so far as available. Plan are maturing for the muster out of as many of the volunteers now in service as possible. ine uemana gi enlisted men to go home arid leave the service is gi owing greater every day. This is true of near ly every garrison, and the arrival of Senators and .Representatives with re quests for the muster out of regiments or men in the regiments has largely in creased during the past three days. It is well known that the volunteers at Manila desire to come home and the War Department is considering the question of sending regular regiments to replace these volunteers as soon as the arrangement can be made. Regu lars who are available for this service comprise those regiments on the west ern coasts which saw service at San tiago and there is a disposition to have them recuperated and recovered of their full strength before sending them to manna. MORE TROUBLE WITH NEGROES A Member of the Third North Caro lina Shot. iAi,un, va., inov. so. Kumor was rife in the city last night that the ne gro soldiers of the Third North Caro lina regiment stationed here intended to break out of camp and destroy the city, and much uneasiness has been felt both by citizens and soldiers.

Kempin is tnought to be faltally wounded. He went to Simmons' bar and called for a drink. On being told that the bar was for white people only he became enraged and finally abused a brother of the proprietor, who struck him with a bottle.

SPAIN'S TROUBLES NOT AT AN END She Turns From Her Colonies to Internal Affairs. The Cariists Are Working Des perately for Power. THE MINISTER OFTHE INTERIOR SAYS THEY HAVE MET WITH NO SUCCESS.! . MADRID, Nov. 30. The cabinet at a meeting today agreed upon instruc tions for Senor Montero Rios, presi dent of the Spanish peace commission, for today's meeting of the commission ers. The ministers also considered the ac tion of the Cariists and further delib erated upon repatriation of Spaniards in the Philippine islands. It. was decid ed that constitutional rights will, for the present, remain suspended. The minister of the interior, Senor Capdepon, in . an interview is quoted as saying that the Cariists have no chance of success. He added: "We are closely watching proceed ings in the Basque provinces and Cat alonia and Aragon, and are ready to repress the first sign of insurrection. Don Carlos' only chance is in the mountains of Catalonia, where the peo pie suffered less during the last Carlist war. The Cariists are working desper ately to win the support of some of our regiments and some of our generals, out these attempts have failed. Not a, single general has listened to their proposals." . The cabinet's instructions to Senor jlonlero liios, which were drawn up last evening, were to request the -immediate release of Spanisn prisoners in the Philippine islands; to negotiate navi gation and tariff advantages in the Philippines in favor of Spain; to ob .ain the ratification of several treaties f commerce with former Spanish pos sessions, and an arrangement of the aebt of . the Philippines, a&d, if possi- jible, of the Cuban debt.
