The marvel is that she was not de- | stroyed by the rain of shells. “In the meantime the Vizcaya was | slowly drawing abeam of the Iowa and | for the space of fifteen minutes it #ive and take between the two ship: The Vizcaya fired rapidly, but wildly, | not one shot taking effect on the Iowa, | > the shells from the Iowa were | g great rents in the sides of the aya. As the latter passed ahead of the Jowa she came under the mur- derous fire of the Oregon. “At this time the InZanta Maria Te- resa and the Almirante Oquendo, lead- enemy’s .olumn, were seen to ing for the beach and in flames. The Texas, Oregon and Iowa pounded them unmercifully. They ceased to re- ply to the fire and in a few moments the Spanish cruisers were mass of flames and on the rocks with their col- ors down, the Teresa flying a white flag. “The enemy’s crews stripped them-| selves and hegan jumping overboard, | and one of the smaller magazines be- £an to explode. “Meantime the Brooklyn and Cristo- bal Colon were exchanging compli- ments in lively fashion at apparently Jong range, and the Oregon, with her locomotive speed, was hanging well on to the Colon, also paying attentioh to the Vizcaya. The Teresa and the Oquendo were In flames on the beach furiously fore and aft. When I was in as far as the depth of water would ad- mit I lowered all my boats and sent them at once to the assistance of the men who were being drowned by doz- ens or roasted on the decks.

My boats’ crews worked manfully and succeeded in saving many of the wounded from the burning | ship. One man who will be recommend- ed for promotion clambered up the side of the Vizcaya and saved three men | from burning to death. “The smaller magazines of the Viz- caya were exploding with magnificent cloud effects. The boats were coming ;nlnngsidc in a steady string, and will- ing hands were helping the lacerated Spanish officers and sailors on the Towa's quarterdeck. 11 the Spaniards were absolutely without clothe: Some had their legs torn off by fragments of shells. Others were mutilated in every conceivable way. “The bottoms of the boats held two or | Naval Constructor Hobson Inspecting | three inches of blood. In many cases dead men were lying in the blood. Five | poor chaps died on the way to the ship. They were afterward buried with mili- tary honors from the Iowa. Some ex- amples of heroism, or more properly, devotion to discipline and duty, could never be surpassed. One man on the lost Vizcaya had his left arm almost shot off just below the shoulders. “The fragments were hanging by a small plece of skin. But he climbed un- assisted over the side and saluted as if on a visit of ceremony. Immediately after him came a strong-hearted sailor, whose left leg had been shot off above the knee. He was hoisted on board the Towa with a tackle, but never a whim- per came from”him. “Gradually the mangled bodies and naked well men accumulated until it would have been almost difficult to rec- ognize the Towa as a United States bat- tle-ship. Blood was all over her usu- ally white quarterdeck, and 272 naked men were being supplied with water and food. Finally came the boats with Captain Eulate, commander of the Viz- “The captain’s guard of marines were drawn up on the quarterdeck to salute | him, and I stood waiting to \\'elcome‘ | him. As the chair was placed on the deck, the marines presented arms. Cap- tain Eulate slowly raised himself from the chair, saluted me with grave dig- nity, unbuckled his sword belt and holding the hilt of the sword before him, kissed it reverently with tears | in his eyes and then surrendered it to me. “Of course, 1 declined to receive his sword; and, as the crew of the Iowa | saw this they cheered like wild men. “As I knew the crews of the first two | ships wrecked had not been visited by any of our vessels I ran down to them. I found the Gloucester with Admiral Cervera and a nu- °r o his officers aboard and also a large number of | wounded, some in a frightfully mangled | condition. Many prisoners had been kilied on shore by the fire of the Cu- bans. “The Harvard came off and I re- quested Captain Cotton to go in and take off the crews of the Infanta Maria | Almirante Oquend Teresa and the and by midnight the Harvard had 974 prisoners aboard, a great number of them wounded. “For courage and dash there is no paraliel in history to this action of the Spanish admiral. He came, as he knew, to absolate destruction. There was one single hope—that was that the Cristobal Colon would steam faster than the Brooklyn. The g ctacle of two torpedo-boat destroyers—paper shells at best—steaming out in broad daylight in the face of the fire of a battleship can be described in one way: It was Spanish and it was ordered by Blanco. The same must be said of the entire movement. “I took Admiral Cervera aboard from the Glouccster, which had rescued him from the dead, and received him with a full admiral's guard. The crew of the Towa crowded close to the turrets, half naked and black with powder, as Cervera stepped over the side, bare- headed.

Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, July 8—The Plant line steamer Halifax has arrived here, hav- ing on board 162 survivors of the | French line steamer La Bourgogne, | which was sunk in a collision with the | ship Cromartyshire, off Sable Island, last Monday. On the passage from | Halifax La Bourgogne's passenger list was carefully revised and it was shown that there were 714 persons on board, of whom 550 were lost and 164 saved. Of the saved 12 were second class pas- sengers, 47 steerage and the remaining 105 were members of the crew. ,On arriving here the shipwrecked | men were given every necessary atten- | tion. Each was provided with a ticket | for New York. | Among the remarkable escapes were those of three stokers of La Bourgogne | —Louis le Julien, Jean Alvany and Francoise Mello. They were in the | stokehole when the accident occurred. | Their story in substance is as follows: “The engines were stopped after the | coilision and subsequently we started them again in the hope of beaching the steamer on Sable Island. About five minutes after the crash the water be- gan to come into the boiler Toom, and | soon it rushed in in great volume. The pumps were tried, but to no avail. The | water put the fires out and the engines stopred. The chief engineer gave or- ders to close the water-tight doors, but even after they were closed the water came in almost as fast as before. Then all hope was abandoned, and the engi- | neer blew twice on the whistle, the sig- nal for all to escape who could do so. There was a rush, but about fifteen men were drowned in the stokeholes and the engine room.” The three men who succeeded in get- ting out found that all the boats had left and they plunged into the sea. They were picked up later and taken on board the Cromartyshire. From the testimony of three persons —Otto Zeiser of New York, William Achard of Baltimore and Charles Lie- bra, chief cock of the Stafford Hotel, Philadelphia—it appears that the fourth engineer of La Bourgogne, who was saved, acted in the most brutal man- ner toward the passengers. The three men agree in the statement that after the collision, when everybody was sur- rounding the boats, the engineer said: “Damn the passengers. Let them save themselves; we save ourselves first.” He said that if he had a revolver he would shoot the passengers. Mr. Zeiser spcke in great praise of the captain. 3 On the voyage Liebra became ac- quainted with Yousouf, the wrestler, who was a passenger. After the col- lision, Liebra says, he saw Yousouf struggling in a crowd of drowning pas- sengers, beating them off with a sti- | letto and shoving them aside and try- He failed, how- ing to reach a boat. ever, and went down. L. Tarlaud of New York and M. Lu- cas, from Northern France, the latter being a waiter on board La Bourgogne, each tells of his being driven from a anll containing Austrians, armed with nives. ‘While the Halifax was entering Bos- ton harbor this morning eight persons gave their names as witnesses to the fact that the Austrians used knives to keep people cut of their boat. NEW YORK, July 8.—The survivors of the steamship La Bourgogne arrived here to-day from Boston and were taken in charge by the Compagnie Transatlantique officials. The surviv- ors of the crew of La Bourgogne, as they passed the station, were hissed by the crowd. The Times prints the following: “The alleged brutality toward the passengers of La Bourgogne during the | struggle of life following the coliision and sinking of the vessel is the subject of much comment throughout the city. It Is the popular opinion that the stor- ies of the surviving passengers must lead to an investigation of unusual thoroughness and interest.” Assistant District Attorney Unger, in discussing the case, said that in co: mon law any company was respons ble for the acts of its employes. In hi opinion the surviving sailors of La Bourgogne could be indicted for mur- der if the charges could be proved. It was the first duty of the sailors, he said, to save the passengers. Francis Edmond Bruwaert, French Consul General, said that as soon as the survivors of the wreck reach this port a consular investiga- tion would be instituted to collect all available evidence concerning the cas- ualty, and this would be forwarded to the French Maritime Court. ‘When asked whether, if there was evidence given by the passengers to show that any parties or members of La Bourgogne's crew killed a passenger from one of the ship’s boats, he would be arrested here, the Consul said that he had not had ! time to look up the law on the subject. | “I am inclined to think, however,” he | said, “that I would simply forward the | evidence to the home authorities, and if it were decided that crime had been committed I would be instructed to cause the arrest of the guilty partles if they were still here, or they would be arrested in France. where they will all be sent.” CATS IN THE FORUM. The Ferum of Augustus is the cats’ home of Rome. There the superfluous felines are dropped over the wall to join their numerous fellows in the Forum below. Every day charitable people throw scraps of fcod into this open prison, and, as seen from above, its inhabitants seem to be plump and happy—so happy, indeed, that they make no gttempt to escape. A few years ago the Forum of Trajan was also used as a depositing place for cats that were not wanted, but as it does not present the same facilities of re- treat and hiding as the Forum of Au- gustus street boys and others took every opportunity of stoning the unfor- tunate animals. Finally the authori- ties, after many complaints, refused to allow any more cats to be thrown there, and, in order to get rid of those al- ready living in the Forum, presented one to each sentry-box on the walls of the city. They all, however, speedily disappeared from their new homes, some returning to the foot of Trajan's Column, where they were either killed by the street boys or transferred to the Forum of Augustus.—Scientific Amer- ican. —_———— Alice Rix Writes in Next Sunday’s Call How Millions Crushed a Man.

Hemp is of antique origin, for it was used by the Scythians at least 500 years before the Christian era. It grows wild in India and many parts of ou land and it was known to the Chinese thousands of years ago. The Romans were familiar with the use of hemp for sails and cordage. India and Persia is the native home of hemp, and it is cul- tivated in the United States in Ken- tucky, Illinois, Nebraska and Missouri. Recently California has become inter- ested in its growth, and in this State it often reaches a height of fifteen or twenty feet. Raw hemp, produced in Japan, is sold in ribbons thin as paper and glossy as satin, the frayed ends showing fibers of exceeding thinness. We import $500,000 worth of hemp yearly from Italy and Russia. A grower in California says it costs $20 an acre to produce hemp, 2000 pounds to the acre, and he clears $60 an acre. Our best hemp comes from Italy, and we pay 8 cents a pound for it. The Ital- ians take great pains, plowing twice at intervals of fifteen day After cutting, the stalks are removed to a shady place | and the tops inclined over a trestle to dry. In favorable soils from 1700 to 2000 pounds an acre are produced. —_——— HE NEEDED PUNISHMENT. It was evident when the man rapped at the door of the backwoods cabin that he felt that he had a grievance. “Somethin’ wrong, stranger?”’ inquir- ed the man who came in answer to his knock, noticing his excited condition. “Wrong!” exclaimed the stranger. “Wrong! Well, I should think there was. I met a boy about half a mile u the road that I think belongs to you “Long, gawky boy with a coonskin cap?” asked the man in the cabin. “That's the one,” returned stranger. “He had a gun and was evidently out after squirrels.” “Big, old-fashioned, muzzle-loading gun?”’ suggested the native. the “Yes; a big gun about half a foot | than he is,” answered the stranger. “I didn’t stop to see whether it was a muzzle-loader or not, but I guess it was.
