There were sixteen families in the

how the fire started. Press admitted
that he went to bed leaving the lamp
burning and that he and his boarder,
Koplan, were smoking cigarettes, ami
the firemen believe that the men must

slight.
POSITIONS IN CENSUS BUREAU.
Apportionment Marie to Senators mid
Kt-prent'iitiit 1 v-h NebruskVs Ouot.t,
WASHINGTON. July 12. The cen
sus oillce is preparing its announce
ment of cerical positions to be charged
to each senator and representative in
congress and has llxed Nebraska's
quota as follows: Eight positions to
each senator, four places to each re
publican representative, two places to
each populist member. Letters are
now being sent out to each member
of the Nebraska delegation asking
that the designate the names and post
office addresses of persons not exceed
ing twice the number to which they
are entitled, whom they desire exam
ined for positions allotted. And to re
duce travel expenses of these appli
cants. Director Merriam of the twefth
census announces that an examination
will be h'3 in Omaha some day next
fall when applicants from Nebraska
will be examined.
The salaries of these positions will
range from $G00 to $1,200, the exact
amount to be determined In each at
the time of the appointments. All
persons desiring an examination will
have to file a formal application and
will have to be indorsed by his sena
tor or representative as the case may
be, to even receive attention. Alreadv
there are quite 400 eligible on the list
waiting, like Micawber, "for something
to turn up," and this list will be aug
umented a hundred fold it is expected
by the time the clerical force is need
ed for work upon the twelfth census.
If there are any Indians ?t the
Greater America Exposition the In
dian office would like to know it- "A
bond for 5,000 has been deposited in
an Omaha bank under instructions of
the secretary of the interior," said an
office today, "to guarantee the care
and subsistence of 100 Indians with
the understanding that the commis
sioner of Indian affairs would be in
formed what Indians were desired.
With this information at hand we
would have instructed our agents to
allow the departure of the Indians
from the reservations. But while the
money, $.10 per capita, has been de
posited, we have yet to hear of any
desires of the management as to any
Indian representatives and I have
about come to the conclusion that the
Indian congress of 1S98 at Omaha will
never be repeated."

NEW YORK, July 12. According to
a i orrspondfciit of the World at
Washington President McKlnhy is
working energetically upon a plan to
submit the question of independence
or annexation to the people of Cuba
He believes that they would vole for
annexation. Reports from Governor
Gen'i;ii Brooke indicate a contrary
view, but the president has received
confidential letters from influential
representation of commercial inter
ests and from other sources in and
about Havana which have convinced
him that General Brooke Is mlstuken
and that the people In the western
portion of the island. a well as those
in the eastern portion, would gladly
vote for territorial government under
tho fr-ater republic.
General Wood, It Is learned, made
many suggestions, which will be pub
lished for tiie guidance of the com
ma ndeis of other Cuban provinces.
The president Inquired particularly as
to the extent of the sentiment for ant
against annexation. "1 am firmly
convinced," said General Wood, "that
annexation would be carried by four
to one in Santiago. The people of thai
province and I believe of the majority
of the oilier provinces, do not want in
dependence. They have realized many
bciiefl is from the temporary govei
mont we nave given them an.l ar
anxious to secure these henelits per
manently. "
It is stated upon very high authority
that the president desires Genera
Brooke'; attendance In Washington in
the capacity of confidential adviui
and Is contemplating the substitution
in his place of General Wood as gov
eriioi general of Cuba.

WASHINGTON, July 13. Inquiry
was recently made at the state depart
ment in regard 'be grave of John
l'aul .bines, the great naval hero of
revolution days, who died in Paris July
18, 17X2. He was burled there with
the highest honors by the French gov
eminent, but it appears that the pres
ent location of his grave Is not known
The secretary of state recently ad
dressed a letter to Mr. Henry Vipnaud
of the United States embassy in Paris
asklnK whether thr. grave of John Paul
Jones in Paris is known and marked.
Ho has received a reply from Mr. Vi
naud sayinj? that, although lie has
made earnest and frequent inquiries
of the city authorities In regnrd to the
matter, he has been unable to discover
the whereabouts of the grave. One
thing established by his Inquiries,
however, he says, is that John Paul
Jones was not buried In the cc I "tery
where the remains of L,afayette lie, as
has been supposed by some people. In
another quarter it is intimated that
owing to a custom prevailing in Paris
the remains of John Paul Jones were
deposited in a rented grave for a term
of years and tlmt upon the expiration
of the lease n great many years ago
the bones of this distinguished Ameri
can were thrown into the Potters' field.

HALIFAX. N. S.. July 12. The
steamer Portia, which struck on His
Fish shoal fifteen miles out of Hali
fax last night, filled aild tank during
the night.
Reports received this morning from
Sumbro island, where the passengers
and crew were landed, indicate that
the only victim of the wieek was a
12-year-old Assyrian hid known by the
name of Basha. who was traveling
second-class from New York to St.
John's, N. B.., where his mother lives.
The others on board the st nrner, in
cluding seventy passengers and a crew
of thirty-four officers and nieu, who
were landed safely at .Sambro, were
cared for there during the night and
will be brought here today.
The accident, which happened at
about 7 o'clock p. m., and which is
believed to have been due to a dense
fog which prevailed at the time, prob
ably ends the career of the Portia,
which was an iron vessel of 732 toim,
fifteen years old. The locality in
which it struck is very dangerous and
even before it went down it was ap
parent that it Vas badly damaged. It
is considered probable, however, that
attempts will be. made to reach parts
of the cargo and the baggage of the
passengers.
The accounts of the wreck which
reached here last evening indicated
that the passengers and crew escaped
from the ship with comparative ease,
but latter reports show that the work
was not accomplished without consid
erable difficulty.
The steamer had mounted the rockB
wiin a shock mat was reit in every
part of its hull and all on board knew
instantly what had happened. The
next moment the heavy southwest
swell lifted the steamer and forced it
forward. A hurried inspection
showed Captain Farrell that his ship
had been broken and was filling and
also that it was in dancer of being
forced across the shoal and thrown
into deep water beyond.
He ordored the boats to bo mad
ready at once. This was done and the
passengers, including about thirty wo
men, filled them without contusion.
although the dangerous swell added
peril to the proceeding. As tho pass
engers took their places it was dis
covered that the Assyrian lad was
missing. A hasty search of the vessel
was made, but the boy could not bo
found. When last seen he was sea
sick and it is thought Le had crawled
into some obscure corner to lie down
and thus escaped observation when
the searchers tried to find him.
The shipwrecked men and women
all were landed on Sambro island,
which was hardly two mnes from the
place where the steamer lay. They
were cared for there during the night,
although the accommodations were
meager. The inhabitants of the is
land gave 'up their homes and their
provisions, which were scanty. 1 be
steamers A. C. Whitney and L- F.o.wr
were dispatched from here as somi as
possible after the news of the aci-ident
reached here, bearing food for thos at
Sambro. The arrival of the steamers
early today brought great relief to the
shipwrecked men and women, as well
as to those who live on the island.
At daybreak those who had come
from the Portia were taken on board
the two steamers from Halifax and
they reached here this afternoon.
None of the passengers saved their
baggage and a number reported that
their money and jewels had been lost.
Captain Farrell. who left the Por
tia last night to look after tho s;:ie
landing of his passengers, returned to
the scene a few hours later on a Sam
bro steamer. It was found that the
Portia had been carried entirely over
the shoal and sunk in nine or ten
fathoms of water, a short distance on
the other side, only the topmasU being
visible above the surface.
