Captain Rood of tlio Oakes, when interviewed nt Quarantine on his arrival, told a story of suffering and privation that was horrible. The Oakes left May 17 last, and aftor completing lior cargo at Hongkong sailed from that port July 4. The crew were apparently in the best of health, with tho exception of Captnin Hoed, who hod been nilinc fur sonir little but who, under the careful of his devoted wife, thought himself on the high road to recovery.

Tho vessel was obliged to run before tho pain, which had no sooner blown itself out than It was followed by a second typhoon, which blew with great fury for 24 days. Tho vessel had then got well out in tho North Pacific and sofaroiT her course that Captain Kccii decided to shape his course via Cope Horn rather than by tho Cape of Good Hope, hoping thereby to make better time The weather remained fact, nothing hut light, bit filing airs and calms were experienced until Capo Horn was rounded, 107 days out.

The latter died Feb. 4 and was quickly followed by George King, an old man. who died on the Sitli. On the Judge succumbed, waking in all five deaths. Ono by ono the other sailors were obliged to quit work, until on March 1 nobody was left except tlw second and third mates, the captain und his wife.

Wife at tlio Helm. All were well nigh exhausted when a strong northerly gale sprung up on that day, and the lirave woman was obliged to take tlie wheel, and for hours, with- uut relief and without a- mm li as a drinl. cf-i water, she kept the ship on her course. The provisions were running short, although a supply had obtained "ti 13 from the Anwi -Lip Cuvi-'inr V.obtp, New York for Mi-lboiirne, oil the island of Trinidad, and the crew wore left without other than tho necessities. A sharp lookout was for passing lira-IB, but nothing was seen until the Kasbok hove in plant.

The only vessel previously sighted during the entire voyage, with' tho of the ship Governor Koliie, was a north bound Lamport Holt steamer, which passed tho Oakes o4 I'ernambuco, but was too far off to dis tiilguish signals. For tho past SIS days Che Onkes encountered a succession of north and northwest, gales, which were aecom- jiatiiofl with Ifurh arrival at ijuaranlir.p the vessel was visited by the health olliccr and placed in ft -id quarantine. The survivors appeared to'bo improving, but are still unable to leave their bunks. It is probable the ship will bo released after a thorough dWnfec ti in, which was decided upon by tile health ollicor, owing to tho faet that Hongkong wns an infected port.

The "Handy" engine was returned to the furnace today. the Lawmakers at Wastilncton Likely to Do Thin Week, AVAFniXGTox, March sonata will devote the major portion of the week to the consideration of the Anglo-American arbitration treaty. If the appropriation bills which have passed the house as they wore agreed upon in the last session should he reported to the senate, they probably will receive prompt attention.

Thore is a possibility that these bills may not lie taken up immediately in committee ow-ing to tho absence of some committee members. It is also possible that when reported they may ho somewhat changed, or if not changed in -committee that they will bo in the senate. Many senators have propositions which they are nnxious to FCC enacted into law. acd they are not disposed to forego this chance of getting them through. The Democratic leaders may consider it wise party policy 1.1 I-'iM the appropriation bills up until the i j'lil'Iicaii policy in tho senate with reference to the tariff is developed.

Senator Allison, chairman of tho appropriations committee, will exert himself to secure speedy consideration of the bills. There is litMe prospect of committee work until the committee vacancies are filled. Tho two sides of tho chamber are holding out against each other, each contending for concessions which the other refuses to make. The Democrats insist on being allowed to fill all the places vacated by the retirement of Democratic senators, while the Republicans contend that the Silver Republicans anil the 1'opulistft should bo charged to the Democrats. Upon tho adjustment of this difference the whole matter depends.

Some way out of tho dilliculty ultimately will be found, but tho opening has not yet presented itself. The programme of tile tariff debate in the house is simple but arduous. The house will sit from 10 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night, with a recess from a until each day for dinner. The general debate will close Thursday night. IJegiliiiing Friday, tho bill will bo read for amendment under the five minute rule until 3 o'clock on the following Wednes day, March 31, when the bill and pending amendments will bo voted upon.

Tho committee on ways and means, bj tho terms of the special order under which the house will operate, will have tho right of way in tho matter of amendments, and such amendments can at any time supersede ponding amendments of individual members, a provision made to givo the committee the fullest power to perfect their bill. The debate will bo opened by Mr. Ding- loy, the chairman of the ways and means committee, for the majci: 5 Either Mr. of Texas, the selected leader of the minority, or Mr. McMillin of Tennessee will reply.

Mr. Bailey has tendered to Mr. McMillin this privilege in deference to his long service on the ways and means committee, but it is not yet decided whether the latter will avail himself of the proffer. Tho night sessions of tho house during the general debate will bo given up almost entirely to sot speeches by new members who dosiro to cet their views in the Congressional Record for the benefit of their constituents. When the Wilson bill was under consideration tho time at the night session was not consumed and there is likely to be a repetition of lack of senators on this occasion, as members under tho order are given leave to print, and many ol them will take advantage of this opportunity without the QUAY FIGHTS A PANTHER.

fess they can see In fact, evidences the end be freed by ripanish residents themselves ore many and strong. The minds predict the end ol Spanish within two years. Some say not say within one year. After much investigation I incline tc the opinion that will retire in lost than two years. Tho Spanish element is condemning with more and more emphasis the fruit less, exhausting policy (if Lieucral Weyler.

They see bis idea ot pacification is depojv ulntion, his plan for peace devastation. Farmers, laborers and all wealth producers in tho country are driven thereby to their graves or to the rebel ranks to destroy what remains. Wealth already produced is given to flames. They see that Weylor is making nc military progress. The Cubans are being left more and more in possession of the country.

They frequently sack small towns close to Havana. They aro in force in cities of tho fourth and third class once oi twice a mouth. Such raids grow more common. Weyler, knowing that with fewer troops he cannot hold tho smaller cities of tho interior, has begun to abandon them. Ht has given notice to the Spanish residents that all property owners must protect themselves.

Tho troops aro needed for tht ports and seaooast cities. Sanctl Splrltiu Abandoned. Sancti Spiritns, a city of 25,000 people, is already abandoned. Tho merchants, money changers, speculators exporters, importers and planters, realizing that Cuba is lost now, want the change to come as quickly as possible. To end tho war, its losses and disturbances, they favor the sale of tho island to the Cu bans on the guarantee of tho United States, expecting that a short lived republic will, through financial entanglement, give way to annexation to tho United States.

Anything save anarchy would be better than tho present situation. Taper money to the extent of flOG lias been issued, based on $0.0011.000 in silver and 5 per cent of tho monthly customs duties (which amount to about $1,000,0110) added to the reserve. Weyler says this paper must pnss current at par on pain of arrest for rebellion and imprisonment for life. Xo one dares quote what it is really worth except bo hind closed doors. There its value is said to be 40 per cent less than gold and 22 per cent less than silver.

Hut this sei-rct quotation fixes its purchasing power, and prices aro put accordingly. Only tho creditor, the poor workingman and tho cabmen are imposed upon. They cannot refuse it. Where a cabman always got a silver pseta C-'O cents) lie now gets four paper Ti i-i-nt picri-s. jiiakus a wry face and pockets them.

His liaker will take the paper, but his loaves an- smaller than the cabman formerly obtained for coin. Reducing the weight of broad is not rebellion. Business is becoming paralyzed. It will soon bo completely so. I am told on excellent authority that tho American Bank Xoto company of New York is printing 310,000,000 more of this silver paper money for Cuba, anil that it will be put in circulation shortly.

It will be found impos glblo to float it except at a great discount. All firms which had large sums in paper have sold it at 35 and 40 per cent discount, preferring to make a known loss now. The business community remembers the last war. Spain then gave out in paper and redeemed it in silver at So cents on the dollar. Sho is harder pressed now.

How I.onB,O»n Spain Stand II? The total revenues of tim island arc about a month. Tlio total i-x- pensa of tho military and civil governments ft nearly a month. These figures are from official sources. How long can Spain stand it? No official or government employee in Cuba has been paid in five months. Spain owes them today $53,000,000.

She must have money if she has to make it This large and sudden issue of papei money Is not to meet a demand for a circulating medium. It is a dishonest, indirect war tax.

The issue of in paper is ordered, Tho Spaniards say they fully expect that afwr tho war the government intends to pay only or oO per cent on the dollar on it's paper. It will call the other 70 or so per cent a war tax. This is an old Spanish trick. To pnt confidence into tho people the Spanish Bank of tho Island of Cuba was recently directed to exchange silver for paper at face value. It was announced that this would be done from 12 to 'J p.

m. daily. Enormous crowds have since blocked the streets. Soldiers, clerks, laborers, all sorts, got in lino at daylight. A regiment of police pull, haul and often bayonet the frantic men trying to get good money for bad.

Tho bank takes its time. That means ad hour for each four a day are accommodated, not more 017- those without only $10 is ex changed for each ono at a The troops are paid in paper. They are beginning to complain. Prices have gone up 35 per cent in silver. It is impossible to got the paper exchanged for silver or gold, hut it is rebellion to refuse to take it.

So debtors can pay with it. Naturally nobody sends to collect bills, and credits aro curtailed. Thus are the forces for freedom from the financial mismanagement of Spain even more powerfully at work in Havana than are tho forces of war for political liberty in the woods. General Woyl 3r has bten very sick. One night recently his condition was so critical three doctors wort called in.
