Halifax, X. S. (Special).?The worst
marine disaster in the long list of
4 steamers wrecked among the rocks
j and shoals at the entrance to the Ray
of Fundy occurred when the steamer
City of Monticello, owned by the Yar[
mouth Steamship Company, whose
I boats ply between Halifax and St.

John, im. n., ana larmouui aim jduoton.
was lost in the breakers anil her
crew of thirty and three passengers
perished. The steamer was overwhelmed
by the mountainous seas
only four miles from her destination.
A heavy pale was ragfhgat the time,
and there was a tremendous sea.
The City of Monticello left St. John
at eleven o'clock a. m. A fierce southeast
gale was blowing, but the steamer
pushed on in its path. Tl^e gale became
a hurricane and a terrible sea
beat upon the rocky Yarmouth coast.
Captain T. M. Harding was in command
of the City of Monticello. Before
he was. aware of it his steamship
was on a reef and the terrible breakers
off Chegoggiu Point were raging
around the craft and sweeping over
her decks.
Two boats were lowered as quickly
as possible. Captain A. Norman
Smith, of the steamer Pharsalia, had
boarded the City of Monticello at St
John. Three ^rromen on board?Elsie
McDonald, colored, of Yarmouth;
Kate Smith, stewardess, and another
?were put in the first boat, .and with
them wei Captain Smith, Second Of- I

The small boat, with Captain. Smith
and six others, was driven by, the
hurricane over the mountainous waves
and dashed upon the beach. Elsie 31cDonald,
one of the other women, and
/ Murphy were seized by the undertow
' and carried back to sea. A returning
wave hurled Murphy against the rocky,
beach with such violence that he was
Instantly killed. Kate Smith, Captain
Smith, Wilson Cook and James Flen^f
ming were saved with trifling injuries.
The other boat that put ofi^ frofti the;
City of Monticello was not seen again I
by any of those saved, and there is'
not the slightest doubt that she was
lost. No one knows who got into her
from the steamer. , > ?
, Among the passengers were Captain
Smith, who was coming to Halifax to
join his ship; A. S. Eldridge, a merchant
of Yarmouth, wife, and two children;
Miss Elsie Macdonald. of'Yarmouth;
J. C. Fripp, of Woodstock, N.
B.; O. W. Coleman, of New Glasgow,
S., and John Richmond, married, of
'f, Sussex, N. B. The three latter were
commercial travellers. Captain Smith.

were saved.
The list of lost includes many wellknown
local navigators. Captain i
{Thomas Harding, the master of the,'
Monticello,' who is among the lost, t
leaves a wife and one daughter, at
present residing in Yarmouth. The
first officer of tlie Monticello, who acted
as pilot, was Captain Harvey Newall,
a native of Newellton, Cape Sable
Island, Shelburne,. He leaves a family.
Second Officer Murphy leaves a
:wife in Yarmouth. Steward Hopkins
belonged in Harrington Passage, and
? is survived by a widow and several
children! ' The purser, B. T. Hilton,
was a native of Yarmouth and unmarried.
Chief Engineer Grelg was a
native of Scotland and resided in Yarmouth.
( Practically all of the deck hands and
ithe remainder of the crew belonged
along the shore, between Yarmouth
and Lockport, and many of them
leave wives and children.
The stealer City of Monticello was
bought by the Yarmouth Steamship
Company a few years ago for $30,000.
for their line on the south shore of
jNova Scotia, and was insured for
$25,000. She was a side-wlieeler, and
before going on her present route was
engaged in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and later in the Bay of Fundy route
between Digby and St. John.

i
Sullivan, Ind. (Special).?An extraordinary
incident has occurred on the
farm of Charles Seliechter, in Gill
Township, three miles south of New
Lebanon. Thomas McPheeters, of

a well a few days ago, and when he
reached a depth of thirty feet the sand
and curbing above caved in suddenly,
covering him above the shoulders, his
head alone remaining! above the sand.
The curbing completely filled the opening,
forming a perfect arch above his
head.
McPheeters, although be was tightly
wedged in by the sand and. entirely
hidden from view, was able to talk to
those who went to'his rescue, and he

A large force of meil soon gathered,
and they worked all the afternoon
and until midnight in running a
tunnel. . ,
Their efforts were apparently of no
avail, as the earth caved In as fast as
It could be displaced. Late at night
the would-be rescuers were unable to
determine If McPheeters were still
alive, and at midnight, under the belief
that he had been suffocated, they returned
to their homes.
Early In the morning it was discovered
that McPheeters was still alive,
and after much exertion a two-inch
rubber hose was run down, through
which he received soup and other nourishment.
Forty men were then placed
at work and. a large hole was dug
alongside, after which a tunnel was
run through, all of whibh was curbed
as rapidly as completed. The-work
continued' unremittingly, until 8 o'clock

offense, took an odd- tu'fn Wednesday,;
It was announced,.that 3?teB Loonie; ?
in the County Jafl, had made'another
affidavit. retracting1 the^criaalnal accusations
she had made against Mayor
Flood. This affidavit was given by
the notary who acknowledged It, Her
bert N. Babcook, to Joseph P. Enstace,
attorney for the Mayor.
Miss Loonie, when questioned con- ?
cerning the matter said that Mr. Babcock
came to her with the In-,
formation that the Mayor , jvas
prostrated, and would commit suicide
unless she made the retraction,
and to save his life, so she thought,
she made the retraction. Mr. Babcock
declares that she sent for him
voluntarily and dictated to him the
retraction.
Later in the day Miss Loonie was
visited by- J. John Hpspettr. attorney
for* the prosecution, she having ex
pressed a desire to make an affidavitretracting
her retraction. She said
she had made it because of the representations
about the Mayor's prostrated
condition..
Mr. Hassett says that he does not
need the evidence of Miss Loonife In
the case, as he has an abundance of
other evidence.
Mayor Flood, instead of being in a
state of collapse, hae been about the
streets visiting his patients apparently
as unconcerned as he was before
the arrest was made.

the Self-fflade Copper King Who Win
Only an Irish Immigrant Lad ? HU
Fortune Estimated at 820,000,000.
New York City (Special).?Marcus
Daly, an immigrant boy fifty years
ago, died in tbe Hotel Netherland Va
this city. He left behind him a widow,
a son, three daughters, a host of
friends and a fortune of $20,000,000.
From a lad to whom shoes were a
luxury he had risen in the country of
his adoption to a man of affairs, of
politics, to whom wealth was no
dream and power no stranger.
For more than two weeks Mr. Daly
was on the verge of death, only heroic
treatment by his physicians prolonging
his life. Soon after eight o'clock
Monday morning the end came. There
were present Mrs. Daly and their four
children, Harriet, Mary, Margaret and
Marcus, Jr.; the physicians, Dr, W.
H. Thompson and Dr. Dillon Brown;
a brother, Patrick Daly, and the Rev.
Father LavPlle. Mr. Daly was coh>,
scious, but 170 hours previously, when v
suffering gnatly, eald:
"Jest a little longer; that is all; a
little longer."
The end was so quiet that none but
the physicians and the clergyman whe
knelt at his side knew that it had
come.
He was born in County Cavan, Ireland,
in 18i2. He came to this country
when a boy, and after a precarious
living in the East ha^yvent. West. As
a prospector he' plckecrup a knowledge
of ore. He tramped over the mountains
of TJ6ah-witk hnnger for a companion
and the skies for a cover. From(
laborer he rose at last to mine
and then, in 1880, at last came before
the eyes of men.
Twenty years ago his ability In
handling men took him to Montana to
exploit , the property of George Hearst,
Lloyd Terls and J. B. "Haggin. They
^had mines near Butte which needed
'developing. Daly had a. alight interest
in the property, but lit was sufficient
to bring him the managing ownepship,
fortune and fame.
It was. Daly, \who suggested the purchase
of 'Jhe Anaconda .Mine, near,v
Butte CiV* believing that it promised
well in gold and silver. The mine was
bon irht for 225.00ft: 'Before Ions' ron
per - veins Were stjrnck. To-day the
Anaconda-produces one-quarter of all
the coppet mined In the world. It
employs ,10,0^0 men and reduces 4000
tons of. tee "every day.
Of his ' long pplljtical battle with
Senator William A. Clark,, his onetime
friend, It is not necessary to
speak at length. Daly admitted thajt
he had reasons for personal enmity,
but always contended that he fought
for the good of Montana.

GEN. MACARTrfUR'S VIEWS
Hie Military-Governors Review of
the Affairs in the Philippines.
'he Causes and Method# of the Tnstuf-' 1
rectlon?Success of the BebeI?V..-< '
Oierllla Warfare. .
'.I
Washington, D. C. (Special).?MajorGeneral
Arthur MaeArthur, commanding
the army in the Philippines and
Military-Governor of the Islands
since May.5, 1900, has submitted his
report to the War Department. A
large part of the report relates to
events which took place previous to
the date when he assumed command,
and he publishes some of the correspondence
and proclamations of the
Filipinos obtained before that time.
He refers to the pian of Aguinaldo
in abandoning his army organization
and starting a1guerilla warfare. The
conditions of the country have afforded
advantages for such a policy,
he sayv, as they have enabled the insurgents
to appeal and disappear at
their convenience; '' At one time they
are soldiers and immeuiately after are
within the American lines in the attl
tude of peaceful native'.
A widely scattered formation of Filipino^
quickly followed the guerilla
warfare, which led to a corresponding
dissemination of American troops,
there being fifty-three military stations
in the archipelago on;* November
1, 1899, and 413 stations on September
% 1900. A
This resulted in a large^iumbcr of
minor skirmishes, many of which did
not assume the dignity of a regular
cotoibat, though the casualties between
the dates, mentioned were 2G8 Americans
killed,' 750 wounded and 53 captared^
Jthe. Filipino losses during the
skmel-ftme. being 3227 killed, C94
woun<jiBd,and 286? c$ptyred.
General MacAjrthur days the extensive,
distribution of troops has strained
the soldiers of-the army to the full
limit'of endurance. ; He speaks in the
highest terms of this service rendered
by the troops aiipld all labors and"hardships.
?.'>
"The Filipinos;? says General MacArthur,
"are nor a warlike or ferocious
people. Left to themselves, a lai-ge
number of them would gladly accept
American supremacy, which they are
gradually coming to understand means
individual liberty and'absolute security
in their lives ariu property. As a
substitute for. all'other considerations
the people aeehi to^be actuated by the
Idea that in all doubtful matters of
politics or war men are never nearer
right than when going with their own
kith and kin, regardless of consennannoci
9V /
This condition, he says, has raised
difficulties, and obstruct ions to pacification.
The effort to institute municipal
government under American auspices
carried the idea of exclusive fidelity
tb the United States, but this
met with difficulties where Filipinos
were placed entirely in control, and
secret municipal governments were organized
fn various towns under insurgent
auspices to proceed simultaneously
with tie American government, and
often through the name personnel.
Presidentes and town officials acted
openly In behalf of Americans and secretly
In behalf of the insurgents, and,
paradoxical as 'it may seem, with considerable
apparent solicitude for the
interests' of both.
The report says the success of the
guerilla system depends upon complete
unity of action amoug the native
population. Th^t there is such unity j
is frankly acknowledged, but how it
is brought' about General MaeArthur
says he Is unable to ascertain.
Intimidation accounts for the condition
to some extent, but fear would
not be successful as tbe only motive.
He adds: "It is more probable that tlie
adhesive principle comes from ethnological
homogeneity, which induces
men to respond for n time to the appeals
of consanguineous leadership,
even when such action Is opposed to
their own interests and convictions of
expediency."
He says that this statement applies
to the entire archipelago, excepting
the portion of Mindanao occupied by
Moros and the Jolo group. The Moros
seem entirely satisfied with present
conditions.
General MacArthur quotes captured
correspondence to show the efforts of
the insurgent leaders to intimidate
and control the people. He'declares
that the guerilla bands couM not exist
except for the support they receive
from the towns. He says that
the education of the Filip'nos wjll
tend to secure their submission, but
Indicates that this will take a great
deal of time and patience and an adequate
force.
Accompanying General MacArthur's
report are the reports of the various
staff officers unde;* his command.
