Wreck of the Atalanta Due to the
Captain's Carelessness ,
GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS FOLLY ,
Was Rncliiff With Another Vowel and
Kept Too Clcnc In Shnro In Making n
Short Cut to Head the Other Vessel Off
Snapped the Vomel In Two.
Ore. , Nov. 21. One of
the survivors of the Atalanta , wrecked
off the Oregon coast Thursday , claims
that the wreck was due to the care
lessness of the captain who paid for
his folly with his life. The Atalanta
was racing- with another- vessel
and was keeping closer in shore
in order to get the advantage
of the wind in tacking and
to make a short cut to head the other
vessels off. It was closa in shore and
not seeing the light at Cape Foul
Weather , steered ahead until it struck
the reef about four miles below Alsea
bay and about one mile and a half
from shore with such terrifie force as
to snap the masts off like tooth-picks ,
carrying- the risrgiug and everything
with it.
Two of the survivors after reaching
land made their way to a cabin and
awakening t'j3 occupants started them
in all directions for help. The farmers
were very slow in notifying the life
saving station at South Ueach , twenty
miles away , and the life savers did not
reach the wreck for ten hours after it
occurred.
Captain Clark and his life crew en
deavored to reach the wreck , but hav
ing no horses it was difficult to get
the surf boat wagon and the cannon
down the beach toward the wreck ,
twenty miles away , and tha men
were compelled to drag the wagon and
cannon. They arrived at Alsea early
in the morning , and hurrying1 to the
wreck they found they were unable to
do anything , as the ship was beyond
the reach of their lines and their can
non was useless. The ship had broken
in two , and the waves were dashing
over her.
FOR SUNDAY CONCERTS ,
Pnritaaloal Action of London J > vrnmkerjj
Opposed by Queen VlclorlH.
LONDON" , Nov. 21. Intense interest
has been aroused by the puritanical
decision of the licensing committee of
the London county council to refuse
licenses to halls where Sunday con
certs are given for profit. This will
practically mean the abolition of the
concerts which have brightened the
London Sunday for the last few years ,
which even their opponents admit
always consist of the highest class of
music. The newspapers are unani
mous in denouncing the decision and
demand that the London county coun
cil refuse to ratify it.
The queen gives a snub to the oppo
nents of Sunday musie by having the
guards band play on the terrace at
Windsor castle every Sunday afternoon
while she resides there. Tbe public is
then admitted to the castle grounds ,
and last Sunday , for instants , a large
concourse of people listeuod to I be
music.

MANY LIVES ENDANGERED ,
Dewey Informs Xnvy Department of : >
Korlou * Aff.tlr.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 21. News of a
mixed character came to the navy de-
department from Admiral Dcwey ,
touching the situation in the Philip
pines.
, The admiral sent two of his war
ships , the Charleston and the Concord ,
some time ago to the southward from
Manila to ascertain whether there was
truth in reports that the insurgents
had extended their activities in that
direction. Yesterday he cabled as fol
lows :
"Charleston and Concord arrived
to-day from Iloilo. Glass reports that
the entire island of Panay is in pos
session of the insurgents , except Iloilo ,
which is defended by aOO Spanish
troops. All foreign citizens there beg
for American protection. The island
of Negros has declared independence
and desires American protectorate. "
Glass is the commander of the
Charleston. So far nothing has been
done bjf the administration toward
curbing the insurgents in their opera
tions , save verbal representations from
the American commanders to Aguin-
alclo , in which it has been pointed out
to him that it would bo good policy , in
view of tiie probability of the annexa
tion of the islands by the United
States , to pursue a course that would
not be obnoxious to the United States ,
liut the situation is now realised to be
critical. So far as the Spaniards arc
concerned , perhaps they can be left to
take care of themselves , but the for
eign residents at Hello are differently
rpgardcd.
The difficulty in the situation is that
with the best intentions to intervene
to protect the Europeans and other
foreigners and to save the city of Iloilo ,
the second of importance iu the Phil
ippine group , from looting the United
States forces appear to be stopped
under the rules of war from moving
from their positions. Such is the con
struction placed upon the clause in the
protocol relating to a suspension of
hostilities.

John \V. Koelny of "Motor" Fame IlcIn
rhlJa.lclpliiu.
Pnii.AUKM'iirA , Nov. 21 * John W.
Keeley. the inventor of the Keeley
motor , died yesterday at his home in
this city from pneumonia. He was
taken ill on Saturday last and con
tinued to grow steadily worse until
his death.
Mr. Keeley was ( > 1 years of age and
leaves a widow. He was a native of
this city. education was meagre :
and at an early age he became a car
penter , following that trade until 1S72.
It was in that year that he announced
that bo was the discoverer of a new
force bj' which motive power would be
revolutionised Following this lie
constructed what has become known
as the Keeley motor. On November
10 , 1874 , he gave its first exhibition
before a number of capitalists aud
scientists , who advanced § 100,000 to
enable him to perfect his discovery
and apply the principle. Since then
large .sums of money have been ex
pended without any practical public
results.
Uetwccn 1674 aud 1S91 , Keeley con
structed and discarded IJ-'O tl'urerent
models. In his first model he em
ployed water as a generator , but later
the experjincuts were made with what
he called a "liberator , ' ' a machine
equipped with a large number of tun
ing forks , which , be claimed , disinte
grated the air and released a power/ul
ethcric force.

WASHiXGTOJs , Nov. 21. Admiral
Dewcy has informed the navy depart

Hong- Kong firm of wreckers to raise
three of the Spanish war vessels sunk
in the battle of Manila last May day.
The cost of raising the ships and
putting them in thorough repair will
be § 500,000. The vessels to be raised
are gunboats of large type , and , in the
opinion of Chief Constructor Hich-
born , they will be the very best kind j
of craft for the protection of the
United States' interests among ; the
Philippines and along the Asiatic
coast. They arc the sister ships , Isla
dc Cuba and Isla de Luzon , and the
Don Juan dc Austria.

HAVASA , Nov. 21. Havana is in a
state not of turmoil , but unrest. The
mass of the population is as anxious
as the business men for a quiet trans
ition from Spanish rule to Ainericau
control. Outside the vicious and crim
inal classes , whose nunibcr.s have un
fortunately been increasing , the city
dreads disorder.
That many of the battalions are
ready to mutiny is apparent. These
will ba the fii-st ones placed aboard
the transports and hastened back.
The evacuation will probably ba has
tened by this circumstance. The au
thorities have been slow and have
found pretexts for delay , but when
they themselves are threatened if the
inaction continues they will fiud it
feasible to embark with some rapidity.
Captain General lilaneo is himself
anxious to return , but lie cannot em
bark till the preparations for sending
back the troops in Havana province
have reached a more forward step.

LOXDOX , Nov. 21. The Duke of
Westminster has written a letter in
which he says : "After what has been

leled crimes has placed himself outside

regretted and deplored. ' '
This letter elicited a vehement at
tack on the Duke of Westminster in
William Waldorf A.stor's Pall Mall Ga
zette. It is known that Mr. Astor
and the duke are the reverse of
friends , owing to a squabble over the
possession of tlsc famous visitors' book
