They could not see the enemy, who showered Mauser bullets upon them. A brass cannon, loaded with scrap iron, was fired upon Captain Me- Grath’s troops at less than 200 yards’ range.

Will Be Able to Send Many More Bulletins and Give a Much Better Report Than the Shore Watchers. P Specal Dispatch to The Call EW YORK, Oct. 9.—Starting anew to-morrow, Marconi will make his headquarte: on the steamship Grand Duchesse, from which all bulletins of the future yacht races will be sent to theHerald and The Call. So great an interest has the public taken in the practical operation of wire- to transmit from the Grand Duchesse. 1n quence thte Ponce will make no more excursion trips, but the larger steamer, the Grand Duchesse, will amply accom- on her. The Grand Duchesse will leave her pier, just above Desbrosses street ferry slip, at 0 o'clock to-morrow morning, and be- ing a remarkably fast traveler will arrive at the starting line thirty minutes before the signal is fired. This will give her passengers a full oppdrtunity to see the most interesting part of the race. Just as soon as it became known that Marconi weuld himself have command of the work on the Grand Duchesse the de- mand for tickets greatly increased. Here- tofore an assistant has been on this steamship, most of the work being done )m the Ponce. To-morrow, however, )m the moment the Grand Duchesse aves her pier until she returns to it at night wireless telegraphy wiil be in con- stant operation on the Grand Duchesse, which means that a new record will be made in the number of words transmitted. During the six hours that will probably elapse after the fi prelilminary move is made before the winning craft reaches the final mark, fully 4000 words will be sent to the eiving stations at Navesink Highlands. Those on the Grand Duchesse wi ve an opportunity of watching the new process, although during the actual race, when the operators will be very busy, the apartment from which bulletins will be sent will be closed except to those actually at work.

However, the Grand Duchesse is large enough and fast ¢nough for an Atlantic liner, and I loo forward to a pleasant day, even though we will have to do much hard work.” With Marconi on the Grand Duch, to-morrow will be the representatives of the signal corps, who are eager to wit- some of the severe tests which have been promised.

All the littJe streams which in the dry season | are mere creeks have become swift, wide ted and treacherous currents and eddies. Ten colored soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry were drowned at the Mariquina River on the 24 of August in an accident exactly duplicating the loss of five soldiers in the Pasig River three months ago. Soldlers are conveyed across the streams on bam- boo rafts whose motive power is a rope stretched between the banks. In both cases the ropes broke, the rafts were over- turned and part of the soldlers weighted down with guns, haversacks and heavy ammunition beits were unable to reach the shore. Private J. E. Poole of the Twenty-fourth lost his life in attempting to rescue his comrades. He swam to the shore and secured a small raft, which he poled into the river, but was himself | pulled into the water and drowned by a bldier he was trying to lift aboard the ft. The last of the bodies of the ten week and all have been buried with mili- tary honors. Four men of the Third Infantry, sta- tioned at Quingua, were drowned in the Bagbag River before daylight on the morning of the 17th, when the regiment was starting against the forces of Pllar which were threatening the railroad near Malolos. Corporal Peter Larson was the hero of this accident. He was drowned in a brave effort to save others, and Lieu- tenant Chauncey B. Humphreys rescued several of his men by great cfforts and was himself nearly drowned during the work. The regiment started from Quin- gua at 3 In the morning and swam the Bagdbag River carrying their guns, 140 rounds of ammunition and haversacks. The river is wide and shallow and most of the distance was fordable, but the cur- rent had become o Swift that many were carried off thelr feet. Seventeen were compelled to drop theif guns to get across, Corporal Larson had reached the farther shore when he heard the cries of the drowning men and plunged back with his gun still strapped to his back. He carried one man of his company to safety and turned back a second time.

That was in 1854 At Sacramento they conducted a laundry business for two years and later settled in San Joaquin County, where the husband and three of the children died. The last twenty years of her life was spent in Marys- ville. She was able to move about the house and take exerclse to within four months of her death. In her time the world of invention noted the advent of the ste: . locomotive, telegraph and telephone.
