Days and Nights Without Food or Sleep—Risks Life With Sharks and Is Finally Rescued by Guerrillas. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—The Herald’s Washington correspondent sends the following: Ljeutenant K. C. Colwell, naval attache of the United States in London, has forwarded to the Navy Department a story of the escape of an officer and several members of the crew of the Almirante Oquendo after her destruction on July 3. The story is taken from the Heraldo of Madrid, to whom it was furnished by Midship- man Navia, the officer in question, who returned to Spain on the Alicante, and has just been released from quaran- tine at Corunna. This is Midshipman Navla's story: “The flagship opened fire while we, being last, were still some way from the harbor mouth; yet before we clear- ed the entrance we were struck by a few shells. When Captain Lazana heard that the forward magazines were ablaze, he followed the lead of the Te- resa, heading for land and running the vessel ashore. I jumped overboard and swam ashore. When I landed 1 was in my shirt and under garments. Twenty sailors gathered around me and we went inland along a narrow path that led toward a hill. Observing a tree on which fruit had been recently bitten, I concluded it was by Mambizes (Spanish name for the natives) and suggested that we should alter our route. “Some, through not hearing me, went on, and I soon saw the first man squat down, crying to those behind: ‘Look out; I am covered by a gun and we are told to halt.’ The man who held the gun ordered us to stop until he had warned his party, and soon re- appeared with a couple of negroes arm- ed with Mausers. We were then or- dered to go forward one by one. While the advance party did so, we behind sidled off into the jungle, fleeing from the insurgents. Those who went for- ward were brained by Insurgents, a great number of whom were ciose at hand. “At midday I found myself accom- panied only by an engineer and a ma- rine of the Oquendo. We were now overcome by thirst and sought a riv- ulet, where we might slake it. tunately we found one, and while drinking were joined by a stoker from the Vizcaya. We followed the stream seaward and came on mango fruit, of which we ate, though it was still un- Ti; 5 ight fell and we lay down to try to sleep. The cold was terrible and the noise of the bush, with the attacks of mesquitoes and land crabs combined to drive away slumber. Next day, the sun giving us our direction, we con- tinued our painful journey, not-hav- ing anything to eat or drink all morn- ing. Climbing a tree to find out where we were, we saw an arm of the sea ahead, which we took to be Cabanas Bay, and we made for it with the in- tention of crossing at its narrowest part. As we neared it we could occa- sionally see a shark rise to the surface. This made my companions hesitate | about entering, but at last I persuaded them, two of us assisting one of the marines who could not swim. When we were half way across a big fish rose behind us and gave us a great fright, | but we were all so desperate that we scarcely cared whether we lived or died. Thanks to God, we got safely to the opposite shore, though how we es- caped I know not, for I was afterward assured that the bay swarmed with sharks and caymans. “A sailor now guided us, but when night fell we were again lost in the bush. We lay down and slept in our wet clothes, but were awakened by the firing of heavy guns. This gave us our diregtion, for we took them to be the | gun8 of Socapa. After a sleep we re- sumed our journey in the direction whence we had heard firing during the night, and were again all morning without solid food, though we did get some water. “A_sailor climbed a tree and made out Fort Morro distinctly. This news sustained our courage and we pushed on. We came to a small beach, but there our strength failed and we sank exhaust®d to the ground. Yet, just when we had finally given ourselves up help came in the shape of some Spanish guerrillas, who discovered us and re- lleved our wants, afterward taking us off in a boat to Mexico, where ended a Jjourney I shall never forget.” Suicide of a Veteran. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—Chris Lang- bein, a Grand Army veteran, aged 53 years, shot himself in the temple at the entrance to Elysian Park this morning, dving aimost instantly. He had been in ill health. He leaves a widow and six children, who live in East Los Angeles and are in poor circumstances. ST o Camp Taylor To-Morrow. Go via 8 a. m. or 10 a. m. Sausalito ferry.

Crops and Roads Annihilated—Great Loss to Shipping—Relief for the Sufferers Is Being Dispatched. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. % KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 16.—The hurricane of Sunday was undoubtedly the worst visitation of the kind experi- enced by the West Indies during the century. The hurricane swept along the island chain from Barbadoes west- ward to St. Vincent, and thence north- ward to St. Kitts, where it was last heard from. Barbadoes suffered mostly from rain, which destroyed the crops and roads as it did at St. Lucia and other islands, while the center of the storm swept over St. Vincent and Guadeloupe. Details received from St. Vincent show that an unparalleled destruction of life and property has taken place there. Out of a population of 41,000, 300 were killed and 2000 were injured and rendered homeless. Besides this, owing to the complete destruction of the pro- visions, they are all starving. The island has been absolutely ravaged by the winds and the floods from the mountains in addition to the waves along the coast. There has been great loss to shipping along the track of the cyclone. Relief funds are being ralsed in re- sponse to an appeal of the Governor of St. Vincent, where all descriptions of food and clothing and other necessaries were lost in the general destruction. The demand for building materials is unlimited. No details of the work of the hurri- cane have been received from Guade- loupe. AT THE BIER OF THE MURDERED EMPRESS Public Admitted to the Hofburg Chapel—Profusion of Floral Offerings. VIENNA, Sept. 16.—The public were permitted to view the casket containing the remains of the late Empress of Aus- tria to-day. It reposed on a catafalque in the chapel of the Hofburg, where masses for the repose of the soul of the deceased were celebrated incessantly at three al- tars until noon. | On the casket were four wreaths sent by the children and grandchildren of the deceased, while many other floral offer- | ings were upon the walls of the chapes. At the head of the casket were the im- perial crown, the coronet of an arch- duchess and the jeweled orders of the late Empress. At the foot of the casker were a black fan and a pair of white gloves. Life Guardsmen were stationed at each corner of the catafalque. There was a steady procession of people until the church was closed at 5 o'clock, among them Prince Albert of Belgium and other personages of high rank. Even after the doors were closed thousands’ remained outside, The Presidents of both houses of the Austrian and_Hungarian Parliaments de- posited wreaths near the casket. After the blessing of the remains, Em- peror Francis Joseph knelt down and re- peatedly kissed the coffin. He asked the maids of honor whether her Majesty su1- fered much. They replied that she did not. Count Nigra, the Italian Ambassador, has again protested against the attacks that are being made upon Italians throughout Austria. Count Goluchowskl, the Austro-Hungarian Forelgn Minister, replied that the Emperor has 51\'91’1 per- sonal directions with a view of prevent- inf a renewal of the attacks. t transpires that a painful scene oc- | curred at the church. 'he Emperor was prostrated with grief. Upon arriving at the Hofburg chapel on Thursday night, | his Majesty became almost unconscious | from the intensity of his emotion.

It appears that he minutely described the circum- stances of the crime and justified it on Saturday last before the details were known to the public. s e gt g s CUNARDER AURANIA REACHES QUEENSTOWN Towed In With a Broken Crank Shaft—All on Board Are Reported Well. QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 16.—The Cunard steamer Aurania, bound from New York for Liverpool, which was reported off the | south coast of Ireland, disabled and in tow, arrived here at 2 o'clock this morn- ing. The captain of the Aurania rcports that the crank shaft broke at 9:30 p. m., September 13. At 5:15 o’clock the follow- ing evening, while the steamer was 110 miles west of Fastnet the British steamer Marine, Captain Webster, bound from Montreal to London, sighted the Aurania and took her in tow. All on board the Aurania are well. The sea was calm during her passage and no unusual incidents, with the exception of the breaking of the shaft, are to be 1e- corded. The Aurania will wait here for the ar. rival of a tug, which will- tow her to Liverpool. All the passengers will be landed at this port. ENDS HIS LIFE WITH CYANIDE OF POTASH in His Room in a Portland Hotel. PORTLAND, Sept. 16.—Willlam MecIn- tosh, one of the best-known ‘furniture salesmen on the Pacific Coast, committed suicide to-day in his room at the Gilman House by taking cyanide of potash. He lost his position with Gadsby & Co. about two weeks ago, and since then he has been on a protracted spree. He has a brother in the First National Bank of San Francisco, and his mother resides in Con- nersville, Ind. —_— Killed by a Blast. BUTTE, Mont., Sept. 16.—John J.

SUICIDE OF A LONDON MAN MINERS DRAFT A LETTER TO SIR WILFRED LAURIER. Salvation Army Completes a Large * Barracks and Begins the Noble Work of Relieving Distress. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 16.—The steamer City of Seattle arrived to-day from Skaguay with 150 Klondikers who left Dawson on September 2. The amount of dust brought out is variously esti- mated at between $150,000 and $200,000. Leonard Winbolt, purser of the river steamer Linda, committed suicide by takimg morphine while the steamer was on its way down the river. He was a native of London, England, aged 25. The following deaths occurred at St. Mary’s Hospital, Dawson: A. Buten, Canada; Thomas Tennet, London, Eng- land; James Sheehy, Virginia City, Nev.; James Keyes, San Jose, Cal. The recently organized Miners’ Asso- ciation held its first meeting on August 29 and drafted a letter to Sir Wilfred Laurier, appealing to him for the ap- pointment of a commission to inquire into the manner in which Gold Com- missioner Fawcett has conducted his office, and also making specific charges against him and other officials. Captain Worth of the river steamer May West, while on his way to Daw- son, was arrested on a charge of em- bezzlement and refusing to turn over the vessel's books to the owners. When the May West arrived at Circle City William E. Williams, armed with a power of attorney, made the demand on Captain Worth to turn the boat and books over to him. Worth refused. While Willlams was seeking a deputy United States Marshal the May West let go her lines and started for Daw- son. Willlams and a United States Marshal boarded the steamer Gustin, | and after a spirited race overhauled the May West. Worth was taken back to Circle City, where he will have a hear- ing before the United States Commis- sioner. The steamer F. K. Gustin, the first of the celebrated Moran fleet to arrive at Dawson, reached that place on August 30. She reports that eight others of the same fleet are on their way up the river and will arrive during the week. The Salvation Army has just com- pleted a large barracks at Dawson and has already commenced the work of taking care of the sick, helping the | needy and relieving distress. —_— |CARRIES A CHUNK OF ORE INTO JUNEAU ploration Company Finds Cop- per in Alaska. » BY HAL HOFFMAN. Special Correspondence of The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 6.—Henry Bratnober, understood to be one of the principal agents of the Great London Exploration Company, which is buying in gold and other valuable properties and operating them in nearly every sec- tion of mother earth where gold has been found in paying quantities, ar- rived in Juneau some days ago and has been stopping at the Treadwell gold mine on Douglas Island, across from Juneau, another gold mining property of the London Exploration Company. He is the guest of Superintendent Duncan. Mr. Bratnober seldom allows himself to be interviewed for publication by newspapers in general, and daily news- papers in particular. Last winter, how- ever, there was an article authorized by him in a San Francisco mining pub- lication in which he then took rather a conservative view of the Klondike and its output of nuggets. Mr. Bratnobar has been spending much of the summer ton trail comes down to tidewater, and it 1s reported that he made a trip in as far as Dawson. Anyhow. up in that section of Alaska, which has been little explored, he has been hibernating on the trail, in camp, in the hills and dales and astride one of the steeds whose im- portant mission has been to pack grub in and gold out from Five Finger Rap- ids or Fort Selkirk. Now he comes out A Cheerful Woman. From the Democrat, Brazil, Ind. Every woman cannot be beautiful, but a cheerful face oiten supplies the defi- ciency. But no one can be cheerful and bring joy to others unless they have per- fect health. Fortunately, science has placed this priceless boon within the reach of every woman, as the following incident proves: Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of William Robinson, farmer and stockman, near Howesville, Clay County, Ind., is thirty- two years old and had for several years been in decllnlng health and despondent. For three months she was not only un- ‘able to attend to her domestic dutles but too feeble to be up and about. To-day she is in good health and able to attend to her household affairs. She relates her ex- perience as follows: “I whs afflicted with female troubles and was in a delicate state of health. I lost my appetite, grew thin and was greatly depressed. After taking various remedies without being benefited I was induced by a friend to try Dr. Willlams’ Pink Pills. “Barly the summer of 1897 I pro- cured boxes them and be- fore flnlshmg the _ second / ltmx I began o improve.gy and by the time I had in exl\]l‘(ilngs '°’€‘;f‘§ A Priceless.

She took two boxes of the pills and they restored her appetite, aided digestion’ and brought color to her cheeks. She is now in the best of health. I think Dr. Williams® Pink Pills for Pale People the best medi- cine we ever had in our family and ree- ommend them to all needing a remedy for toning up and rebuilding a shattered system.” No discovery of modern times has roved such a blessing to women as Dr. fllams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They restore strength and health to ex- hausted women when every effort of the hysician proves unavailing. These vege- eagle pllls are everywhere recognized as nerves.

Mr. Bratnober can’t help losing the tan, but he is holding fast to the rock. ‘With a brevity hardly exceeded by the late General Grant he has simply said: “I have a piece of copper ore, but I did not say where it came from.” The ore is high ball stuff. -It is hardly to be supposed that Mr. Bratnober would pack out with him a heavy load of rock and a tan complexion if the rock were merely a piece of float. Asa matter of fact it is understood here by a very few that he knows where the specimen came from and that there is a large body of it. If, in the future, this should turn out to be no joke, it has precedents in the history of the com- pany, which has built railroads to get at ore with the same disregard for ex- pense that a man has when he asks for cracked ice in his claret on a hot aay. If the London Exploration Company takes hold of a ledge of conper ore it means much for Alaska, much more money for the gold barons in Alaska, much credit for Mr. Bratnober, and much in other ways for the Gogebic people up in Michigan’s northern penin- sula. FAURE ENTHUSES THE FRENCH SOLDIERY Praises Its Tactical Knowledge and Devotion at a Review and Is ‘Wildly Cheered. PARIS, Sept. 16.—President Faure, at the conclusion of the army maneuvers to-day, says a dispatch from Gonnetines, had luncheon with the officers and made a speech, in which, after praising the tactical knowledge and devotion of the officers and the discipiine and drill of the soldiers, he said: “In the name of the country I thank the generals, officers and soldiers wholeft their homes to serve with their whole strength for the nobiest conceivable ideal. The trials through which we have passed have always drawn closer the unfon of the fatherland and the army. I see these children of the French family filled with the same enthusiasm, spirit and faith gather around our flag in order to defend the common patrimony of hon- or. In this union, under the aegis of re- publican institutions, lies our strength. Thanks to it France has overcome the terrible event whose recollection will never be effaced from our memory. It is by this union that France has taken her place in the world. “I drink to the honor of the army.” President Faure conferred the cross of the Legion of Honor upon General Alfred E. Bates, the military attache of the United -States embassy in Lon- don, who has followed the maneuvers. There was great cheering for the army and for France as the President was leaving _the review ground. Socialist Deputy M. Breton refused to uncover as M. Faure passed and was threatened by the crow Amid shouts of “Down with traitors,” ‘“Down with Dreyfus,” M. Bre- ton had to make a speedy retreat. SO Pacific Coast Pensions.
