MOHEGAN'S CREW UNDER MANNED CRAFT. flora Itoam for tba ruitnin Mad by the BrltUh Sailor Tha Ut oC Vf lteehea 10 The Wreck' Cant I till Myitery. London, Oct. 18. The distressing scenes at the offices hero of the Allan tlo Transport company, when the news of tho wreck of tho steamer Mohcgan off the Ll'wird first became known to thoBe who had friends' or relatives on board, wcro renewed this morning, rhcre were many weeping women present, several with infants in their arms. The women appealed for news at the missing. Most of them were wives of the members of the crew. Somo of them left, still hoping that their hutbands had been rescued; tho majority gave way to despair. According to the latest reports 10S persons perished In tho wreck. This statement was Issued by the company last night: "Of tho fifty-four passengers, eleven bavo been saved, ten bodies have been recovered, and thlrty-nlno are missing. "Of tho crew and cattlemen, thirty nine have been saved, fourteen bodies havo been recovered and fifty-one are missing.1' Since this statement was issued, nine other bodies have hi n picked up, in cluding two that have beon identified as thoso of passengers. ; Tho reports of tho varlons corre spondents differ widely as to the res cues, recoveries and losses, though none has been ablo to obtain tho exact number of those saved, or o no bodies recovered. 1 Tho c&uso of the disaster remains the profoundest mystery. Nobody at tempts to explain how tho Mohegan Rot so far north of her true course from six to seven miles. Thero was no fog nt tho time; whllo the wind on her port quarter was not sufficient to pre vent her answering tho helm. It has been suggested that her compass was faulty, but daylight lasted lonsr after Eddystono light was passed. Tho sailors say tho fact that the Lizard light was not vlsiblo should bavo scrvec to give the alarm. Tho masts of the Mohegan, which aro abovo water, show that her stern ,is landward, causing a theory that the navigating officer, on discovering that he was in tho bay, suddenly turned seaward. Two engineers who were saved declare, however, that thoy never slackened speed. Remarkable stories of rescue con tinue. Robert Barrow, a seaman, performed the feat of swimming unaided through tho roughest water to Covo Rock point, a distance of two and one-half miles. He climbed up tho rugged cliff, where a scorching party found him early tho next morning, completely exhausted. A. G. L. Smith of Oregon, a passenger, surrendered to a woman wreckage that was supporting him, and swam ashore unaided. Tho woman was saved. Her namo is reported as Webb, but no such namo appears in the company's list. Messrs. Smith and W. J. Blooming dale say thero was the greatest diffi culty in launching tho boats. The ropes were new and stiff and the blocks would not work. Four or five times as many sailors as should havo been necessary Btrugglod to lower each boat The lockers were hard to open. . The crew, in a chivalrous effort to savo the women and children, made tho mlstaUo of undermannlng tho boats. There were only four sailors in ono boat, which capsized as soon as It was launched. Messrs. Smith and Blooraingdale say that Captain Grlf filts had appeared ill all day. Mr. Williams, the company's man ager, says the disaster was utterly in explicable The vessel was new and, Ise asserts, well found, while the cap tain and crew were most reliable. Ho aaya the crows o! the company's ves sels have constant, boat practice, and bo Is indignant at the insinuations re garding the condition of Captain Qrlf slth. Up to midnight fifty-one bodies had been recovered. Some were found miles away in coves, and It is expected (hat morp will bo washed ashore. Many persons undoubtedly were killed by bolng dashed on tho rough rocks who would havo escaped if cast ashore, on an ordinary coast. Gome of thobodiot aro horribly mangled. A great deal of Jewelry and money has been found. As all the navigating officers were lost, it is doubtful whother light will ever bo thrown on the cause of the dis aster. Pittsburg, Pa Bishop Joseph C. Hortzell, of tho Methodist Episcopal church, whoso bishopric is Africa and who is attending the meeting in this city of the Phi Gamma Delta frater nity, has been commissioned by the negro republic of Liberia, to go to Washington and ask that the republic be taken under the sheltering wing ol tho United .States. Threatened in roads upon its territory by the Ger mans, French and English Jiav prompted the government to seek thi shadow of the stars and stripos. , Manila. The Insurgents at Lagaspl have prevented the American steamer Hermanos from loadlpg or unloading, on the ground that there are Spaniards on Hoard.

Phllippl Agonclllo, who arrived in Paris yesterday as the representative of Agulnaldo, tho in surgent leader of tho Philippine Islands, was interviewed to-day. Agoncillo's apartment at the ITotel Continental aro on the same floor as tho rooms occupied by the United States peace commissioners. He Is de sirous of seeing the commissioners and placing Agulnaldo's views of the fu ture of the Philippines before them. "Would tho Filipinos accept annex ation or a protectorate of tho United States?" Agonclllo was asked. "Wo want independence, but tho Filipinos havo a recognized govern ment of which Agulnaldo is president and it will dctermlno our attitude to wards a protectorate or annexation." "Should the United States take all or part of the Phlllpplno islands, would the Filipinos fight the United States as they have fought Spain?" "I cannot answer without possible error; but I think it would bo mont anwlse for tho United States to divide the Phlllpplno Islands. They should Take all or none." "If the United States give up the Phil ippine Islands, will tho Filipinos con tinue to fight tho Spanish?" "I think so.' "Is It true that the Philippines do not object to tho continuance of tho dative priests?" "Yes." "And what of tho orders, religious would tho Philippines accept any peace with tho United States and Spain which did not provide for the ex pulsion of the orders?" "The presence and acts of the orders were tho chief determining causo of tho insurrection. It would be impos sible for the Filipinos to become recon ciled with Spain. Wo have vainly and repeatedly sought tho right of citizen ship, employing all legal means and Imvc risen in insurrection twelve times in a century to socure them, and wo arc now enjoying thom. Tho peace is only posslblo under any government oy tho abolishment of tho orders which, as I havo said, wcro tho chief determining causes of tho abuses nnd oppressions, and henco, tho rebel lions." Agonclllo says ho has come hero to learn tho determination of the visitors concerning the Philippines and to com municate it to Agulnaldo. Agonclllo, thus far, has not communicated with our commission. Tho Spanish com mission whllo unwilling, naturally, to summon Agonclllo, is oxeccdingly anx ious to know what representations, if any, he will make to the Americans. Tho American commission s held their usual morning session to-iuy and entered upon the sixth joint session at 8 o'clock this afternoon. HOW HAVANA WAS DEFENDED. rorty-Tfcree Modern Ga.ni Were Mout4 IUiiii of Rifle. Washington, Oct. 18. The war de partment, has received a detailed de scription of the fortifications of Ha vana. Beside old guns, there aro forty-three new guns. These guns aro principally of tho Hontorla and Ord annex patterns, but there are a few Erupps among them. The strength of the Spanish garri son in Havana is estimated at 100,000, about evenly divided between volun teers and regulars. This strength could have been Increased at any time by calling provincial troops to Havana. Theexaot number of arms in Ha vana is not known, bnt the crmament on hand in depots, artillery parks and stores of all divisions of tho army of the island of Cuba is: Mauser rifles and carbines, 181,013; Remington rifles, 137,07; arms of private guer rillas, 14,000; total 262,089. Out of this number, only 30,000 aro believed to bo new. Of cartridge there are 9,000,000. Great ingeaulty was displayed in the construction of sunken masked bat teries. Closely underlying much of the soil in 'tho 'vicinity of Havana is coral rock, easily excavated. Trenches are cut into it, and from short dis tances nothing Is seen to indicate the existence or extent of defensive works. GOOD FOR THE SHIP BUILDERS Seventeen. Large Yaisela nought by the Navy Mail 11a Replaced. Washington, Oct. 18. It Is expected that the decision of the secretary of the navy to retain all the vessels pur chased during the war will havo tho effect of causing a boom in American shipbuilding. I comes just at a time whon there is an unusual demand for ships flying tho American flag on ac- count of tba expanding commerce of the United States in general and par ticularly on account of the decision of the administration to confine trado be tween American ports and Porto Rico to American vessels. Tho navy, In preparing for war, drew very largely upon the tonnage of tho coast-wiso and foreign lines sail ing under the American flag and tho business of these llntJr cannot be re stored to its" former proportions until vessels havo bean built ,to supply the places 'of i taose'' taken by the govern ment. This will require the construc tion of seventeen vessels.
