.22 LIVES LOST AT SEA Steamship Cleveland Wrecked in ‘ Barclay . Sound. ONLY SEVEN” WERE SAVED Klondike Miners Had Depended on Receiving the Vessel‘s ’l‘ons oi Supplies—Congress \Vill Delay Giving Relief. Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, Dec. 16. -Thc missing steamship Cleveland, for nh1c 11 tugs have been searching in vain 2111 the past week, it has been learned, was VVxecked in Barclay Sound, twelve stiles Iorth of Cape Beale, in one of. the toriible storms which recently swept the coast. Capt. Hall, the purser, the chief en- gineer, th1ee sailors and one fireman nere saved, but twenty- -two men who 'took to the boats when the steamship was wrecked are believed to be lost There is a bare possibility that they may have landed safely but no one doubts that they would have peiished f1 om cold and hunger before they could ban «3 1eached succor. ’1“ .1e Cleveland was engaged in the ea rying t1ade, and was loaded with per visions intended for the miners in ti -2 Klondike when she started 011 her ir irney northVV ard. The supplies Were destined for Taiya and Skaguay. They were imperatively 3296de to keep alive the army of miners there. The loss means that they will be forced to go to short rations in the Winter. As the "gravest fears of star- vation have been expressed, even counting on the Cleveland’s supplies, it is certain that the suffering will be greatly increased. Skaguay merchants have given up the Cleveland. They have sent urgent messages for another shipload of p110- visions to be rushed through, regard— less of danger or expense, as it means life or death to hundreds. San Francisco, Dec. 16.—Vessels ar- riving here say they had rough expe— riences in the gale off the coast. Sev- eral have come 'in partially dismasted, and. a number of vessels bound here from the north are overdue. Some idea of the force of the gale can be obtained from the fact that at Point Arena quantities of seaweed were blown in- land to a distance of 200 feet and were at one place piled to a height of several feet on the beach. DELAY IN AIDING YUKON HMINERS. Congress Probably \Vill Not Act ’Until After the Holidays. Washington, Dec. 16.—Senator Mc- Bride yesterday called up his resolution in the Senate authorizing the Secretary of War to purchase food and supplies and to transport the same for relief or American miners on the Yukon River in Alaska. and appropriating $250,000 to defray the necessary expenses. An amendment to the resolution providing for the transportation of the supplies by means of reindeer was adopted. Mr. Hawley asked that the ,matter be referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. . Senator McBride will press his reso- lution, but it is now thought, however, that nothing will be done in the mat- ter until after the holiday recess. Sen- ator McBride hopes to get it through without trouble, especially as he has the indorsement of Secretary Alger. The Senator has received a letter from E. P. Ash, who has just arrived at Portland direct from Dawson, which says: “The supply of provisions in Dawson cannot last longer than the middle of March. No supplies can reach the in- terior by ordinary conveyance until next June, and it will require the re- sources of the United States Govern- ment to equip an expedition strong enough to overcomethe obstacles of a midwinter journey. This expedition should be authorized at once.” 7 Secretary Alger’s request that Con—‘ gress, authorize the ~ purchase of 500 reindeer in Lapland \to haul the relief supplies having been met by some doubts as to its feasibility, is explained as purely an emergency scheme to take advantage of the hard-packed snow conditions of February, when traffic by reindeer sledge teams will be easiest and when starvation at Dawson City will be at its worst. Later ample supplies can be sent to the miners by other routes, especially by the Yukon, when the ice breaks up. The 1,200 trained reindeer owned by the United States are now in the ex- treme northwestern part of Alaska, ' ' where they cannot be utilized until April or May, but in the meantime it is proposed to hurry provisions over the southern routes by the Dyea trails, and for this purpose an agent has already been sent to Lapland to gather 500 rein- deer and the necessary drivers. As there are 50,000 such animals in con- stant use in Lapland, no difficulty is apprehended in securing those needed; in fact, 1,000 have already been Offered for delivery during December. Arrangements have been perfected to transport them across thelAtlantic and to Seattle, toarrive at the latter port five weeks after Congress acts. A short time later they would be delivered in Dyea ready for the journey of relief. If Congressional authority is promptly forthcoming, the caravan could star1 over the Alaskan passes in February. and War Department officials » have fullest confidence that Dawson would be relieved before March 1. Wonnen Sail for the Klondike.“ New York, Dec. 16.——Sixty-five VV-u'm- en and 135 men sailed on the CI‘,‘ 01 Columbia yesterday for St. Michael's en route to Dawson City. Mrs. Hannah Gould, of 250 West Twenty-second street, was the guiding spirit of the women’s delegation. She refused to say who the women of the party were, say- ing that they include .a corps of trained hospital nurses and twelve mission- aries. All the women except two, she said, possess independent means, and the two are smart business bodies whc add their brains to‘ the capital of the ship’s company. ~ Buying Reindeer In Norway. waondhjem ' Norway, Dec. 16 —A1 agent of the United States Governmen named Kjeltberg has arrlved here tr. buy reindeer for the Klondike relief ex peditions. 1 101110 1111111 11111111111111 Once the Seal, of the Dlsoaso Is an Absolute Necessity.
