DROWNED OR ADRIFT.
Fate of Three of the Fortnna's Crew
Which Collided With the
Brleryard.
Vineyard Haven Mass. Nov. 3. If
the schooner Fortuna survived a colli-
sion which took place early this morning
twenty miles south of Montauk point
with schooner Edward E. Brieryard
three men of her crew of eight are prob-
ably drifting about the ocean south of
Long Island on their nearly unmanage-
able vessel. Captain Ross of the schoon-
er who brought the news of the collision
thinks that this is the case although
there is a posisbility that the Fortuna
was so severely injured that she sank
in a short time iu which event the three
men went down with her.
The Brieryard was bound to Ports
mouth with a cargo of coal. About 12:45
this morning the Fortuna suddenly
loomed up just ahead and in a moment
the two vessels came together with a ter-
rific crash. The Brieryard lost her en-
ire headgear and the wreckage had to
be cut nwav in order to save the till. As
the two vessels were locked together
Cnntain Chase of the Fortuna. with the
nrst nnd second mates the cook and one
seaman managed to climb on board the
Brieryard without stopping to ascertain
just what damage their boat had sus
tained nnd a heavy sea parteu ine ves-
sels before the three remaining men of
the Fortuna could follow. Another
surge swept the two vessels further
apart and soon after the Fortuna was
lnt nltneether in the darkness.
The Fortuna was bounu lor Boston
and left Newport News only a short time
before the Brieryard. She is of 588 tons
and fifteen feet all over.

killed the eldest dnughter with one

SENOR SALVAXI IS SURPRISED AT
THE EX-MINISTER'S RECENT
ARTICLE ON CUBA.
Taylor In Which the Latter Ei.
pressed Sentiments Greatly Dif-
ferent From Those In the Hc
cent Objectionable Article.
Madrid Nov. 3.-Senor Salvanl has
written a letter to the newspalers here
in reply to the article on the Cuban qucs-
tion published la an American magazine
of which article Hannis Taylor the for-
mer United States minister to Spain is
the author. Senor Snlvanl says:
x urn usiouisiieu at .nr. 1 aylor s arti-
cle in an important review."
Continuing Senor Salvanl then pro-
tueu io ieu me ionowiug story: l
"1 met Mr. Taylor in April. 1890. in
a street ot .Madrid and though out of
prudence I asked him nothing he snid
Spain must not suiniress tho Culmn
insurrection by force of arms alone. She
must carry out reforms.'
tie did not mention a word about au
tonomy but he added: 'Peace will then
follow immediately. Spain has a friend
in the White House whose powers are
on the eve of expiring nnd she ought to
profit by the opportunity to obtain peace
for whoever succeeds him he is certain
to be R'bs favorable to Spam than Frew
dent Cleveland.'
"I recognized the importance of the
foregoing declaration and I hastened to
communicate with my friend Canovas
who warmly thanked ine in a letter
which I have retained.
"Shortly afterward the reforms of Can-
ovas began to be talked about and I was
called on to explain them to Mr. Taylor
and to tell him they would be published
within a fortnight as actually occurred.
Mr. Taylor embraced me saying: 'You
nnd I will bring about peace in Cuba and
thus contribute to the good of humanity
and uphold the great interests of civili
zation by ending the war the prototype
of crime and a return to bnrbansm.
"I hastened to communicate these
words in the proper quarter.
"Just prior to these events Mr. Tay
lor at a luncheon in my house and in
company with Castellanos and others
toasted peace warmly protesting his ad-
miration nnd love for Snain and express
ing the desire to see us succeed in the
work of pacifying Cuba.
"Shortly after the election of President
MnKinlpv. when it was noticed that Mr.
Sherman would be made secretary of
state I asked Mr. Taylor if Spain would
not have reason to tear a man who in
a speech in the senate bad displayed
tred of Snkin.
" Ttnn't unties that: for Sherman as a
responsible minister will change his
opinions. Spain has nothing to fear in
this respect. "
in pnnplnaion. Senor Salvanl said
"These ideas and sentiments differ
tlv from those attributed to him
now."

BLANCO'S TROUITLISS TEGIN.
Meets a Cold Reception His Auton-
omy Plan Likely to Miscarry.
TTnvnnn yin Kl'V M'P'l NOV. 3. Gen
Blanco's recetlon has N-en marked by
coldness on all s-des. I Ins is one to ine
.nut i;mntti;fnion niised by his procla
mations. They have disgusted all par-
ties. A forincr director of the board of
the autonomist rmrty snnl today to tne
correspondent of the Associated Tress:
"We sincerely hoped we would have
autonomy but now we feel that we are
not go'rg to have it. Blanco s policy
of nmiitaimntinff all politicnl rmrtles- will
not work out ns he expects. He is afraid
tn nut nnlv nutononiists In office. W e
refine to side with the consorvntives nnd
the military elements. We will have
on!v a semi-autonomy which will serve to
increase the general dissatisfaction. By
insnlt't g us in his proclamations. Mar-
shal Blanco has plnccd nil talk of sur-
render on our pnrt ont of the question."
'P'ore is no public sentiment in favor
of Blanco's policy. Everybody Is dissat-
isfied nnd annexation seems to be the
only solution of the problem. The ap-
pointment of Gen. Pnndo ns Blnnco's
chief of sta"? has caused general dissat-
isfaction. Pnndo favors nn iron regime
nnd it . is lielieved he will endeavor to
compel Cubans to fight their own brothers
in arms.
The conservatives charge the govern-
ment with placing the rule of the islands
in the hands of the autonomists and ex-
rebels and predict that there will
be a return to Weyler's policy when
the government is convinced that
autonomy is a failure. The reform-
ists are disgnsted at not being rec-
ognized by Blanco in spite of having
supported the .poricy he represents.
Finally all sympathizers with the insur-
gents openly declare that they will re-
fuse any and all overtures from the gov
ernment.
A Cuban who recently returned from
the Chaffanne inlands where he had
been deported for connection with the
Cuban iunta. said today: I
"We might accept autonomy if it was
given us but it is simply ridiculous to
believe we are so foolish and mean as to
accept autonomy given to the autono-
mist nnrty. our enemy. We would rather
side with the conservatives.

Mr. Sherman made known to the

but no negotiations were entered upon.
Since then Sir Julian has visited London
and has had nil opportunity to learn the
views of the foreign office as well as
the state of I!ritinli feeling on the sub-
