THE WRECK OF rnE srErrNr.

Struck y Rock sni SANK Immediately
IT'S Lives Lost.
LONDON. Nov. 13-AdditIonal details in
regard % the loss Of the British torpedo
cruiser serpent have been received here
from Corunna. The disaster occurred at
O'Clock Monday. A heavy storm was pre-
vaiIing and the night was densely black
ened. When the vessel struck the keel
was torn of and great hole stove in the
bottom. She slipped of the rocks into
deep water and Immediately foundered,
tons Of water rushing through the hole in
the hull The majority OF the officers anu
crew were below when the vessel struck.
She sank SO quickly afterward that none of
them had time TO reach the ieck. The
disaster was so sudden that IL was impos-
stble for those on deck % get boat into
the water, the time between striking and
sinking being so short that nearly all on
board went down without making q sign.
The admiralty will investigate. II is
stated that the Serpent became apparently
disabled IN the hurricane. and that II was
necessary for her to repair before proceed
ing on the voyase Her commander, there
fore. eci.ied TO put into Corunna or vigp.
and *nie attempting TO make port the ves-
sci as lost. An official statement shows
tina, the loss OF lie IS l7s A reward has
been offered by The Spanish government for
the recovery of the bodies
LcSpoS. Nov. ls.--lSpeciaI. 1--strange
stories are aflsat in regard 10 the ill-fated
cruiser Serpent. Its alleged that she was
bungled in building and tnat her tests were
farce. These allegations are now said to
have been matters OF common gossip
among sailors ever since the vessel was
launched, but If so, they never reac ned the
general pubic in print. 1t is known that
the men complained OF the brutality of the
captain, who threatened to punish them
by severe chasiisene st. There were sew
eral desertiois from the vessel during her
las, voyage. The admiralty are suppress
ing ali details OF this kind so far as pos
sihle, and the complete story will probably
not be m ,de pubic until the report of the
board of inquiry into the disaster is made,
and perhaps not then.

II they were his clothes, and he evaded the
question and did not reply. He was also
asked what he did with the clothing
he had on while 1T Ivett's, and
could not tell. Sheriff Warfield publicly
announced TODAY that he would
give reward of $500 and Mrs. Ivett would
give 5000 for the arrest and convict on OF
the murderer, ard . reward Of 500 has
been offered for the return OF the hammer
and pinchers that Olsen claims to have lost
Friday night.
Another clue was discovered today. The
detectives discovered the tracks Of . mule
and horse near the Ivett ranch and fol-
lowed the track about ten miles to . large
reservoir near La Grange, where they lost
the trail. It is now thought
the murderer had an accom-
piice, and that they deposited
the bloody weapon in the reservoir. The
reservoir will be drained as soon a. possi-
bic. The lake near Ivett's residence viii
also be drained. as the weapon might be
there. This morning Olsen sent to
