Ono of the survivors of the Atalantn, wrecked off tho Oregon coast Thursday, claims that tho wreck wns duo lo tho care lessness of the captain who paid for hid folly with his life. Tho Atnlanta was racing with another vessel and was hooping closor In shore in order to get tho advantage of tho wind In tacking and to mako a short cut to head tho other vessels off. It was closo In shoro and not seeing tho light at Capo Foul Weather, stoorcd ahead until it struck tho reef alout four tulles below Alsoa bay and about ono mile and a half from shoro with such terrific force as to snap tho masts ofT llko tooth-picks, carrying tho rigging and everything with It. Two of tho survivors after rcaohlng land made their way to a cabin and awakening tho occupants started them In all directions for help. Tho farmors wero vory slow In notlfylug tho ltfo saving station at South Reach, twenty tnllcs away, and tho llfo savors did not roach tho wreck for ten hours aftor it occurred, Captain Clark and his llfo crow en deavored to reach tho wreck, but hav ing no horse It was dlfllcult to got tho surf boat wagon and tho cannon down tho beach toward tho wreck, twenty miles away, and tho mon woro compelled to drag tho wagon and cannon. They arrlvod nt Alsca early In tho morning, and hurrying to tho wreck thoy found they woro unablo to do anything, as tho ship was boyond the reach of tholr Hues and their can non was usolcss.

Keoloy, tho Inventor of tho Ketley motor, died yosterday at his home in this city from pneumonia. Ho was taken 111 on Saturday last and con tinued to grow steadily worso until his death. Mr. Keeley was 61 years of ago and leaves a widow. Ho was a native of this city. Ills education was meagre, nnd at nn early ago ho became a car penter, following that tVado until 1872. It was in that yoar that ho announced that ho was tho discoverer of a now force by which motlvo power would be revolutionized. Following thin ho constructed what has become known as tho Keoloy motor. On November 10, 1871, ho gavo its first exhibition beforo a number of capitalists and scientists, who advanced (100,000 to enable him to perfect his discovery nnd apply tho principle. Since then large sums of money h&vo been ex pended without any practical public results. Between 1474 and 1891, Keoloy con structed and discarded 120 different models. In his first model ho em ployed water as a goncrator, but later tho experiments wero mado with what ho called a "liberator," a machine equipped with a largo number of tun lug forks, which, he claimed, disinte grated tho air and released a powerfu) otherio force MANY LIVES ENDANGERED, of NEARLY AMERICA'S MONOPOLY, Dewey Informs Nary Deportment Hertout AtT.ilr.

Tho admiral sent two of his war ships, tho Charleston and tho Concord, somo timo ago to tho southward from Manila to ascertain whether there was truth in reports that tlie lnsurgenlri had extended their activities in that direction. Yesterday ho cabled as fol lows: "Charleston and Concord arrived to-day from Hollo.

Tho Island of Negros has declared Independence and desires American protectorate." Glass is tho commander of tho Charleston. So far nothing has been dono by tho administration toward curbing the insurgents in tholr opera tions, sure verbal representations from the Amorlcan commanders to Aguln aldo, in which It has bcon pointed out to him that It would bo good policy, In view of tho probability of tho annexa tion of tho islands by tho United States, to pursue a courso that would not bo obnoxious to tho United States. But tho situation is now roalirod to bo critical. So far as tho Spaniards aro concerned, perhaps thoy can bo left to take euro of themselves, but the for eign residents at Hollo aro differently regarded. The difficulty in tho situation is that with tho best Intentions to intervene to protect tho Europeans and oilier foreigners and to save the olty of Hollo, tho second of importance In the Phil ippluo croup, from looting tho United States forces appear to bo stopped under tho rules of war from moving from tholr positions. Such Is tho con struction placed upon tho ctauso la tho protocol relating to a suspension of hostilities. DOUBLE WRECK IN IOWA, la tha Hawaiian Trade the United States lite Utile Opposition. Washwotok, Nor. 21. Tho stoto de partment has published a report of tho llrltish foreign offlco on tho com ruorco of Hawaii in 1607. Of tho total Imports of tho Islands tho United States contributed 70,04 per cent; Grout Britain, Canada and tho colonies together 11185 por cent, tho balanco bolng distributed equally botweon Germany, China, Japan and other countries. Of tho exports, 00.03 por cent went to the United States, sugar representing 90-per cent of tho total. The report assigns as tho reason why tho Unltod States has such a largo proportion of tho trade tho adapta bility of Amorlcan gcods for tho Ha waiian market, tho roducod rates of transportation, and consequently, cheaper prices, tho excellent packing of cotton, eta In cotton goods the United States already has a large pro portion of tho trade, and a monopoly of boots and shoes, felt hats and thV batter class of straw list.

There la ft rumor on tho streets that is (raining considerable crcdonco among those who know of tho Cross bank's failure that several days beforo he killed him pelf Cross wrote out a full confession of his shortage and left it with a friend to deliver to William Mnrtinrtale, vice prcsldont of tho bank. It ia generally believed that Cross got away with 815,000 of tho bank's money. This money is said to havo been taken in two lumps, ono of 8 1 50,000 nnd ono of 605,000, for which alterations are al legod to havo been mado on tho books of the bank. It Is said that tho letter left by Cross confesses to theso things and exonerates Mr. Martindala and Mr. Davis, respectively vlco prcsldont and cashier of tho bank. The friends of Cross fl&tlv deny that there is any such lotter and say that It is merely an attempt to throw tha blamo of tho falluro of tho bank on a dead roan who Is not hero to speak for himself. Tho Emporia Republican publishes an editorial on this lino headed, "Was Cross Murdered?"

Tho president of tho Spanish peace commission, Senor Montero Hlos, has refused to continue the negotiations. Tho Spanish nnd Amorlcan pcaco commissions mot in joint sossion at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Tho Americans dcclaro tho United States must havo tho entire Phillpplno archipolago. For a treaty qcsslou of tho Islands tho Americans tendered to Spain 820,000, 000. It is further declared that it is tho purpose of the U n't tod States to main tain tho Phillpplno Islands as an "open door" to tho world's oommorco. On tho terms namod the United States proposes a mutual relinquish ment of nil claims for Indemnity, na tional or personal, subsequent to tho outbreak of tho last Cuban insurrec tion. Next Monday is flxod as tho data on which tho United States commission desires a doQnlto response to to-day's propositions and all other subjects in issuo hero. It is also dcclaircd that tho United States desires to treat on tho religious freedom of tho Car oil no islands as agreed upon botweon tho United States and Spain In 1830; also of the Requisition of ono of tho Carollno isl ands for an Amorlcan naval station; of cablo landing rights at other places in Spinish jurisdiction and the revival of certain Spanish-American trcutlos as hcrctoforo In force.

After tho meetings Rlos declared that ho would break off all negotia tions. WAsmwoTOjr, Nov. 22. If President Rlos did express tho determination of tho Spaniards, under their instruc tions tho American commissioners will promptly pack up and icavo Paris for tho United States at onco. This docs not nocessarlly wlpo out what has been accomplished nndcr tho terms of tho protocol. Each orticlo of tho protocol must stand, for It was In no respect dependent on what would follow at Paris, saving tho ono clause touohing thot Philippines. For in stance, Spain ' agreed positively to re linquish her ooverolgnty over Cuba and Porto Rico and evacuate thoso Islands and to cede to us one of tho Ladrone Islands for a naval station. Thcso agreements are beyond recall and all that was left to bo settled at Parle related to tho Philippines. That is tho ultimate position of tho United States government as announced at the state department. As to what shall follow now peace or war tho officials aro not cloar. It ia bolloved that tho Spanish forces in . Cuba will continuo the evacuation of the Island, which is now in progress. will attack tho United States forces, end the latter will not attack so long as tho Spaniards continuo to carry out lite terms of the protocol. J Thero Is no problom connoctod with Porto Rico, which is now completely n our possession. Guam, one of tho Ciadrones, can bo easily garrisoned at my timo, tho Spanish forco there hav ing surrendered. This leaves about tho only questions to be determined thoso conneatod with iho Philippines. It is not bolievod that Upaln will make any effort to recon quer theso Islands.

Tho memorandum of tho Amerioan commission embody Ing tho abovo propositions is long' and was not read in full Tho vital portions, howovor, wore communicated verbally to the Spanish commissioners in practically thcso terms: Tho fact was cited that tho proposal presented by the Amorlcan coramts sloncrs In behalf of tho government for tho cossion of tho Philippine Islands to tho United States having been rojeotod by tho Spanish com missioners and tho counter -pro posal of tho latter for tho with drawal of tho Americans from tho islands and tho paymout of an indomnlty by tho Unltod States to Spain having boon rojcctod by the. American commissioners, tho latter deeming It essential that tho prosont negotiations already greatly pro tracted, should bo brought to an early and dcflnlto conclusion, now bogged ta present a now proposition embodying tho cossion which for tho sake of poacs tholr government rould, under the circumstances, bo willing to tender. Tito government of tho United States Is unablo to modify tho proposal here tofore mado for tho cession of tho en tiro arohipolago of tho Phlllpplnes.but tho American commissioners aro au thorized to offer to Spain, in caso tho cession should bo agreed to, tho sum of $20,000,000, to bo paid in aecordanco with tho terms to bo fixed in tho treaty of pcaco. It boiug tho policy of tho United States to maintain In tho Philippines an open door to tho world's commerce, the American commissioners aro pro parod to insert in tho treaty now in contoraplatlon, a stipulation to tho ef fect that, for a term of years, Spanish ships and merchandise shall bo 'ad mitted into Phillpplno ports on tho B.-imo terms as Amorlcan ships and merchandise. Tho Amorlcan commissioners aro al so authorized and aro prepared to in sert in tho treaty in connection with tho cession of territory to Spain by tho United States a provision for tho mutual relinquishment of all claims for indemnity, national and individual, of every kind, of tho United States against Spain and Spain against tho Unltod Statos, that havo arlson slnco tho boglnnlng of the lata Cuban insur rection and prior to tho oonoluslon of tho treaty of pcaco. Next followed tho terms ncorost ap proaching to a formal ultimatum to Spain. Tho United' States commis sioners expressed tho hope that thoy might receive from tho Spanish com missioners, on or before Monday, No vember 28, dcflnlto and final accept anco of tho proposals mado at to tho Philippines in connection nlso with tho demands aa to Cuba, Porto Rico and the other Spanish islands of tho West Indies, and Guam, In tho form in which theso demands have bcon provisionally agreed to. In this cvont it will bo possiblo for tho joint com mission to continuo lU sessions and proceed to tho .consideration and ad justment of other matters, Including those whloh, as subsidiary and inci dental to tho principal provisions, should form part of tho treaty of poaco.

Secretary Gago long ago decided to have bills of tho somo denomination look alike. That Is, ho wantod tho five dollar sil ver certificate, tho five dollar United Statos noto end tho five dollar Sher man treasury noto to bear a closo r semblance to ono another. Tho first of tho designs under the now system is for tho ono dollar silver certificate. Tho notes will soon bo out. Clearness, simplicity and protection against counterfeiting nro resutts chiefly aimed at. Tho new design Is somewhat less artistic than somo of tho present certificates, but probably will bo moro popular among thoso who handle money. Tho central devico on tho iaco of tho noto is an Amorlcan eagle with wings partly spread, clutch ing tho flag, and with tho domo of the capltolln tho background.

Tho object of a largo display of whlto papor on both sides of tho note is to afford a safeguard against coun terfeiting. It has been found by ex perts that it is easier to detect tho uso of paper without tho usual silk threads whore it is not covered with printing. Tho device for tho silver certificates is substantially tho saino as that which will bo used for othei forms of paper money. i The dlfferenco botweon a silver cer tificate, a United States noto and a Sherman treasury noto of any denom ination will bo indicated by tho word ing and by tho color of tho scab The latter distinction will sorvo tho pur poso of bank clerks who havo to separ ate tho notes by classes.
