THE DEATH LIST GROWS
Mgre‘Than 200 Lives Lost on the
- New England Coast. '
FIFTY-SIX TOTAL WRECIIS
The Victims of the Wreck of the Steamer
Portland )Iore Than 150. The Great
Number of )Iinor \Vrcck’s. Many Places
Yet to Hear From.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.—The news of
the loss of the Boston and Portland
Steam Packet Company’s steamer
l-‘ortlund off Cape Cod, and the death
of more than one hundred and fifty
persons, who, according to the latest
reports, comprised the passengers and
crew of the steamer, and news from
other ports on Cape Cod, showing that
at least thirty-five vessels were wreck-
ed along that shore, with the loss of a
dozen lives, have greatly increased the
total of lives lost during, Saturday eve-
ning ’5 storm.
There are still other places to be
heard from on both sides of the cape,
which have not been reached by train
on account of snow blockades, and are
cut off from other means of communi-
cation by broken wires, blockaded
highways and broken bridges.
Yesterday morning, ,while the total
loss of life cannot be estimated with
any degree of accuracy, it is known
that more than two hundred persons,
perished.
This estimate is made on the basis
of only one from each crew reported to
be missing, and each of which would
include at least three, while the large
schooners would have seven or eight
men on board.
Attempts to estimate the property
lisses sustained by shipping interests
are equally difficult from the facts in
and, but it appears that the bulk of
fhe damage Vvas done between Cape
{Ann where a score or more of vessels
ere lost, and Cuttyhunk, where the
geamer “’arwick is on the rocks.
From present reports it is known
.hat fifty- six vessels have been totally
Wrecked, while forty- -nine are ashore
filth hardly a chance of being sav-
136.
Of the fifty-six total wrecks, barges
not included, forty—three craft aggre-
gate 12 gloss tonnage. Of those in
perilous2 0positions tw-enty -eight aggre—
gate 7,159 tons.
The stranding of the large W’ilson
line steamer Ohio and the ocean tu1:
Tamaqua is not included in the esti-
mate given, nor many of the big coal
barges ashore in Boston harbor.
The position of the latter craft is now
dangerous.
The number of schooners which have
been driven ashore in fairly safe berths
damaged by collision or dismasted, can
be reckoned by the score, and many
of them are likely to be included in the
list of total wrecks before the day
ends.
Ireland for the Philippines:
Rome, Dec. 1.—-It is stated here that
the pope intends to establish a papal
nuncio in the Philippines and has sum-
moned Archbishop Ireland to Rome to
offer him the office.
St. Paul, Minn, Dec. 1.—A1'chbish0p
Ireland was seen at his residence yes-
terday afternoon and questioned rc-
specting the report from Rome that
he was to receive the offer of the post
of papal nuncio in the Philippines. He
said:
"I know absolutely nothing about 1t.
I have received no such message or
call.”
“Do you think such a thing is in
contemplation?” was asked by his in~
terviewer.
“I think I have answered the ques-
tion just as fully as it is possible to
answer it,” was the archbishop’s re—
ply.
Hoar Against the Treaty.
Worcester, Mass. Dec. 1,—Senator
Hoar has announced himself as posi—
tively opposed to the treaty uhich
would acquire the Philippines. He
said: i
“We have not, so far anv news
which is absolutely trustworthy of
what they are doing in Paris. But if
the report is true that it is proposed
to buy of Spain the “sovereignty of
the Philippine islands,’ and to pay
twenty million dollars for it, I do not
believe that such a treaty will be
agreed to, and I do not believe it ought
to be agreed to.”
BIitchcll After Shnrkcy.
London, Dec. 1.—Pony Moore, father—
in-law of Charles Mitchell, the pugilist,

Sharkey for five hundred or one thou-
sand pounds a side, and the best purse
offered for the contest by any club 111
England or the United States.
It is. announced by Moore that the
match can be ratified immediately by
Sharkey covering the two hundred
pounds and forwarding articles for
Mitchell’s signature.

BOSTON PHYSICIANS TESTIFY.
War Irma-stigators Taking Testimony
About the Porto Rican Campaign.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.—The war in-
vestigating commission began” its ses-
sion at 9.30 o’clock yesterday morning
and after a brief executive session Dr.
J. Booth Clarl son of Boston, who went
to Porto Rico as medical agent for the
Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Associa-
tion, was called as the first of the wit—
nesses. .
He noticed, he said, a shortage of
supplies and of some medicines, but
thought that the reason for this was
that there were not enough transports.
He thought that any neglect on the
part of nurses was due to ignorance
and not to wilfulness.
He recommended a change in rations
for volunteer soldiers who go to the
tropics and that they should not be
calledupon for any unnecessary la~
bor.
Major Charles K. Darling of the
Sixth Massachusetts volunteers testi-
fied that his troops sometimes lacked
food, and said that he believed this
was due to lack of transports and to
bad roads in Porto Rico.
His command was transported from
Charleston to Porto Rico on the Yale,
and the major said he thought that
that vessel was not fit to be used as
a transport.
Lieutenant Jeremiah G. Fennessey,
quartermaster of the Ninth Massachu-
setts volunteers, comprained of a lack
of transport facilities for the troops
and for supplies at Santiago, and said
that on the way home proper food
was not provided for the men who were
sick.
Dr. F. M. Johnson of this city, who
attended Lieutenant William Tiffany
of New York, who died in this city af-
ter his return from Santiago with the
Rough Riders, on the Olivette, told the
story of his patient’s sickness and
death.
He said that death was the result of
protracted fever and starvation, ex-
plaining that by starvation he meant
ln-anition.
The doctor believed that Lieutenant
Tiffany either could not get proper
food 01' else could not assimilate it.
Dr. Henry Lamont, surgeon of the
Rough Riders, testified that Colonel
Wood did not at first allow him enough
nurses. He was also unable to get es-
sential medicines on the start from
Tampa.
He charged that the officers of the
transport Yucatan, especially the cap-
tain. displayed a disposition to do as
they pleased.
It was with great difficulty that he
got his medical supplies on shore and
to the front. because of -a. lack of tran—
sportaticn facilities.
Dr. Lamont said that great inconve
nience was caused at E1 Caney bat-
tlefield by the lack of litters and arm
bulanccs. his application for which
Colonel Wood refused to grant when.
the command ltft.Tampa.
”VVhen I was suffering from a wound
and was a patient in the hospital at
Siboney,” said Dr. Lamont, “I did not
receive proper attention, receiving no
medicine in the six days that I was
there. I came back on the City of
Washington, which was not properly
prepared for carrying sick men. There
was not proper food for sick men and
no medical stores. No medical officer
had charge of the embarkation of the
wounded men.”
Edward Atkinson also testified.
Likely to Become Tery Bright.
New Haven, Conn, Dec. 1.—Compu—
tations made at the Yale observatory
show that the new Chase comet is
about 230,000,000 miles away from the
earth, or about two and one-half times
as far as the sun.
It shows on the photographic plate
some elongation. Its orbit corresponds
with that of no periodic comet known,
but whether 01' not it is itself 21. pe-
riodic comet cannot yet .be determined,
though it has apparently no connection
with [he Lenoid meteors.
The time of its perihelion passage is
Ap1il 22, 1899, and it must constantly
grow brighter until that time, and be
visible 1'01 sev e1 a1 months, possibly to
the naked eye.
The computations at Lick observa-
tory show that it is nearer to the sun
than is shown by the computations at
Yale, and if the Lick computations are
correct the comet will be a very bright
one.
The time of pelihelion passage, as
computed at both places, very nearly
corresponds.
Defeated Candidate \Veds.
New York, Dec. 1.-——The wedding of

course at Deepwater Point, below Wil-
mington, Del., was not a success and
another trial Will be made about De—
cember 10.

Meeting of the— Commissions Held
to Discuss Terms.
PROGRESS OF THE WORK
Adjournment Until To-day After Discus- -
sing the Articles of Cession. Subjects
Requiring chustment. Former Treaties
to be Renewed.
Paris, Dec. 1.—-The United States
peace commissioners had a. session at
ten o’clock yesterday for the purpose
of discussing the draft of the treaty
articles made by Secretaries Moore
and Ojeda.
The final preparation of those arti—
cles was concluded at 1.30 p. m., and
the revised draft was rthen turned over
to the typewriters, while the commis-
sioners hastily took luncheon during
the half hour intervening between the
beginning of the typewriters’ work and
the hour fixed for the joint session.
The typewriting, however, was not
finished at two o’clock.‘
The Spaniards arrived first at the
conference chamber.
They were quickly followed by the
American commissiiners, with the ex-
ception if Judgei Day and Secretary
Moore, who waited for the prepared
copy of the articles, and who arrived:
1111111111111:—
at thenconference half an hour later.
The two commissions then began the
discussion of 'th'e'formulated protocol
agreements and the subjects for nego-
tiation, all of which were presented to
the joint commission in a. form ac-
ceptable to the Americans._
The commissioners at the joint ses-
sion devoted two hours and a half to
the drafting of the three first articles
of the treaty, dealing with the cession
'of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip-
pines, upon which the commissioners
agrecd in principle.
A general discussion on the other ar-
ticles followed, but no decision was
reached, and at 4.30 p. m.- rthe session
was adjourned until to-day.
\Vashington, D. 0., Dec. 1,—Contrary
to the expectation of many persons, a
163.09 treaty was signed in Paris yes—
teiday.
The commissioners are now proceed-
ing with negotiations with a rapidity
that is satisfactory to all concerned,
but it is a physical impossibility for all
of the subjects requiring adjustment
to be closed up immediately.
Respecting the various matters that
were covered by treaties by Spain
which have been unsettled by the de-
nunciation of those treaties at the be—
ginning of the war, it is the present
purpose to adopt the simple expedient
of providing for the renewal of those
treaties in general articles.
Nothing will be said, perhaps, in
the treaty itself as to the institution
of negotiations for new conventions,
but at .1. convenient time such nego-
tiations will be bad, though it is not
desired that the conclusion of the
peace treaty be retarded by embarking
at this time upon discussion of these
complex and delicate questions.
Sampson Scores Shaftel.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 1.——Secreta1_'y
Long yesterday made public a. report
from Admiral Sampson, in which the
contentions between the admiral and
General Shafter at Santiago are more -
fully set forth {than they have pre-
viously been.
The admiral begins by attacking that
part of Shafter’s report in which he
said that General Duffield, at the Agu—
adores rifle pits, was only able to hold
his own against the Spaniards.
The admiral contends that there were
only a handful of Spanish soldiers there
and that his ships shelled the rifle pits
several hours, driving the soldiers
away.
This fact, he says, was signalled to
General Duffield, who, in spite of it, re-
plied that strong Spanish reinforce—
ments had arrived.
The admiral declares that the bom—
bardment of Santiago on July 2 served
no particular end, because Shafter’s'
attack had been postponed.
The admiral denounces as false the
suggestion that the navy was unwil-
ling to co—operate in forcing an en:-
rance to Santiago. He says:
“I have been surprised to see pub-
lished in the papers any statement of
refusal on my part to endeavor to force
my way into the harbor, and I cannot
'understand——in case the newspaper re—
port be a truthful statement of what
was sent by him—General Shafter’s
sending any report of this kind.
Continuing, the admiral said the
navy “had been placed in such an in-
vidious and false position before the
country through the very unwise pub—
lication of General Shafter’s tele-
grams” that he thought the matter
should in
the public.
Car-lists Very Active.
Madrid, Dec. 1..——The cabinet has con-
sidered the attitude of the Carlists, the
repatriation of the Spaniards in the-
Philippines, and decided to continue the'
suspension of constitutional rights.
The minister of the interior,
Capdepon, in an interview, is quoted
as saying that the Carlists have no
chance of success. He adds:
“We are closely watching their pro-
‘Ceedings in the Basque provinces, and
in Catalonia and Aragon, and we are
ready to repress the first sign of insur—
rection.
“Don Carlos only has a chance in the
mountains of Catalonia, where the
people suffered less during the last
Carlist war. The Carlists are working
desperately to win the support of some
of our generals, but these attempts
have failed. Not a single general has
.‘Iistened to their proposals.”
