Tell the Story.
A special to The Boston Herald from
North Truro says the steamer Port
land, of the Boeton and Portland Rail
road company, plying, between Boston
and Portland, w«; totally wreoked at
10 o’clock Sunday morning off High
land light, and the entire crew and
passengers perished within a short
distance of land.
A large quantity of wreokngn, in
cluding trunks and other meterial,
were washed ashore, and at dark Mon
day night thirty-fonr bodies bad been
recovered from the surf by the life
saving orew at' High Head station.
One body was that of a woman.
The news of the disaster was ob
tained through tile agency of a special
train, as communication to Boston by
wire from paints on Cape Cod was im
possible on account of the havoc
wrought by the storm.
The officers and crew of the Port
land consisted of forty-eight persons.
The passenger list, no for as can he
ascertained, contained the names of
fifty-one men, women and children.
Ninety-nine persons were lost in the
disaster. The passengers were mostly
residents of the states of Maine and
Massachusetts, and many of them
lived in Boston and Portland. .
The Portland was built in Bath in
1880, and was n sidewheel stenmer of
1,317 tons net burden. Her length is
230 feet; bonm 42 feet and depth 15.
She was valued at 5250,000 and is fully
insured.
Writfikiigi* HlrowB CohiI.
From reports, independent of the
Portland, that have been received by
wire, mail and tnessongor to the Asso
ciated Press from New England points
up to 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, it
was difficult to estimate the fetal loss
of' life and damage to shipping along
the coast as the result of the recent
storm.
The list of disasters seems to grow
every hour and from dispatches thus
far received it opposes that at least 30
schooners have i eon wrecked at dif
ferent points from East Port, Mass.,
to New Haven, Conn.; 86 schooners
have been driven ashore, and 14
lmrges loaded or empty, are aground.
This list does not include ihe 30 ves
sels either wholly or partially wrecked
in'BoRton harbor, nor half a dozen or
more craft which are reported missing,
including the Boston, nor the big
Wilson line freighter Ohio, which is
ashore on Spectacle Island in Boston
harbor; the Btoamer John J. Hill,
which is ashore at Atlantic; the Mer
chants' nnd Miners' Transportation
steamer Fairfax, ashore on Sow nnd
Pigs’ ledge, off Cuttyhunk; the small
steamer George A. Chaffee, foundered
at Bockport, Mass. Whon these ves
sels are added the aggregate list ex
ceeds one hundred and seventy ves
sels.
The loss of life is hard to determine.
It is known that about 40 persons per
ished in and about Boston harbor
alone.
Beports from other places, in some
caHes, state that the crew of this or
that vessel esenped, many, however,
state that the fate of the crew is un
known. Borne survivors have turned
up, and life-saving stations and inoom-
ing'vessels have brought a few sailors
from wrecks. Perhaps a score would
cover those of whom nothing is known,
not including the 99 who were on the
steamer Portland.
CERVERA WAS WISE.
Admiral Itaprecnteil War Owing to tha
Htrengtlt of Our Navy.
The navy department Monday pub
lished through the office of naval in
telligence the “views” of Admiral
Cervera regarding the Spanish navy
in the late war, and is a reprint of a
number of letters published it) Ea
Epoca, of Madrid, on the 5th of No
vember.
The letters are dated from before the
war up to May 5th, and were written
by Cervera in protest ngainst Spain
rushing into war on the face of certaid
defeat, dne to the naval strength of
the United States and the unprepared-
ness of the Spanish navy.
islands, a naval station for the United
States in the same group,oable lauding
righta at other points within Spain’s
jurisdiction, the release of the ineur-
rcotloniet prisoners and the revival ot
the treaties broken by the war.
Thne the commeroisl and general
treaty of 1795 will be revised to be re
cast later; the treaty of 1834, for the
settlement of certains claims, will be
revived; the treaty of 1877, providing
tor extradition, will be revived;
the trademerk of treaty ot 1882
will be revived and sumrle-
mental extradition treaty of 1881
will be revived, in addition to several
modus vivendi agreements. It is
thought the secretaries Will submit tho
treaty articles at the next joint ses
sion, when qll the other points for
negotiation will be discussed. Thus
the commissions will have before them
the treaty for amendment, approval or
rejeotion.
On all of the points outside of the
protoool there will be friendly negotia
tions only, Spain haying the right to
name the prices ehe wants for her ter
ritory and to rejeot or accept tho
Americans’ offer. The Spaniards, no
less than the Americans, now are anx
ious to conclude the butiuess which
brought them to Paris.
There will he little daisy mu these
articles. Mr. Moore will also, submit
to the United Slates commissioners
the subjects to be presented to the
Spaniards for negotiations. These,
for convenience and great dispatch,
are beiug drafted in|o the form of
articles. . ,
The release of the iusmgaut prison
ers held by Spain wilt go into the
protocol agreements, it having been
already agroed that Spain is to rolense
them upon the United States under
taking to secure tlio release of Spanish
prisoners in the hands of Aguiualdo.
This question, is so intimately related
to tho peaoo treaty that it lias boon
removed from the subjects that are
matters of negotiation, a;id has been
embodied in the articles containing
the protoool article's.

that the captain of the Boeton had
tended his marine cnard at Tien-Tiia.
The dispatch was taken immediately
to the white house by Acting Secretary
Allen. Secretary flay was called into
consultation, with the remit of reoe-
surlng the officials and allaying their
first feeling of appreheneion.
It seems thet the merinea were land
ed, not because of eny information of
rioting or etteoke upon American mis
sionaries, hut solely to not as guard*
of the United State* legation at
Peking.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Pie He river several 1
weeks ego at the inetenoe of the
United States miuister to provide
guard for the legation. The minister
represented that nearly ail of the lega
tions of European powers were pro
vided with a marine guard aud he did
not consider we thonld be an excep
tion in this case.
After lying at Tanka for a while, the
Boston worked her way np tha rivsr to
Tien-Tsin, about the heed of naviga
tion for vessels of her alas* and dis
tant about fifty or sixty miles from
Peking. It is believed at the navy de
partment that the marines will be sent
forward from that point in launohes or
small river boats.
Uaptsin Frank' Wildes, the com-'
mandor of the Boston, who reported
the landing to the navy department
by cable, did not state how mauy men
were in the guard, bnt the force is not
believed to exceed two dozen men.
The , presence of these foreign
guards is not welcome to the Chinee*
government. When the landings were
first proposed its representatives
Hough*, to dissuade ihc United Htatos
government fro ii indicting this humil
iation upon it. Tha effect was to
cause a suspension of the order, but
ns has been already stated, moat of
the European logatiohs have provided
theinselren with guards, and the
Chinese having become reconciled to
their proBonce, no longer object in our
case.
Advices that reaoh the steto depart
ment do not indicate an immediate out
break in China. Bnt the reactionary
policy of the empress dowager hah
caused a very uneasy feeling and may
afford one or more of the European
powers who have been active in east-

“This would not include the pay

Senator Jones took the position that
as cotton tickots are mere dlreotions
on the part of purchasers to their
cashier* to pay out their own money,
they were not subject to the require
ments of the stamp tax. He alaohold
them to be exempt beoauso of the

which is exempt as a farm product.
The senator regards the ruling as
of very general importance through

PRESIDENT NOTIFIED
Of th« Succiiiifnl Terttilnutlon of Peace
Negotiations at Paris.
A Washington special says: The
government has been officially advised
of the successful termination of the
peacn negotiations with .Spain. A
cablegram to this effect which had been
received from Chairman Day, was
read at Tuesday’s cabinet meeting by
the secretary 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 tlio Philippine
archipelago and Guam inland, one of
the Tisdrone group.
General Butlor gave to the president
much valuable information as to the
general situation in' Cuba, the ability
of tho Cubans for self-government, the
Hanitary conditions of Havens and
generally the resnlts of hia observa
tion during his stay there.
General Butler gave it as his opin
ion that all the Spanish troops will
have departed ten days before the date
fixnd in the agreement. He said the
Spaniards have met the American
commissioners with reasonable fair
ness and that there bosbeeu little fric
tion. Some of the claims they have
made for compensation for Spanish
property have been ridiculous and
they will, of course, he abandoned in
the end. General Butler denies all
the reports of dissensions amoDg the
