SPECIAL TO TIE NEWS,


NEWPORT, July 26-W. S. Hoyt Of the
Vanderbilt party who were aboard the
Alva, returned to Newport this morning
from New York after having put the wreck
entirely in the hands Of the Merritt
wrecking Co. He said they had alrsady
dispatched their steamer Rescue to where
the Alva lay and that divers would be
sent down to locate her position and make
an immediate report on the possibility OF
raising her.
All the Alva's lifeboats have been
shipped to New York for storage I'LL
wanted.
When the Vanderbilts receives the
wrecking company's report they will then
decide whether to charter another yacht.
There 10 a rumor current that the Mano-
may Point pirates had stripped the Alva.
The captain OF the steamer IL. e.
Dimock, which had sunk the Alvs. had
told Mr.. Vanderbilt that he did not hear
the latter's bell, which was kept ringing
for hours. AS his vessel was at anchor,
Mr.. Vanderbilt said he was not expected
to blow his whistles. 1t was apparen
from Mr.. Vanderbilt's conversation that
others on the steamer heard the bells even
IL the captain didn't.
Boston, July 26-Capt. Coleman of
story of the collision: 1--WE had been run
ming slow and cautiously for some time
before the collision We came to dead
stop at Pollock Rip Lightship about nine
minutes before we ran into the Alva and
then ran at half speed. Suddenly, with
out warning Of any kind, i saw the
shadow of the Alva through the fog aud
at once rang the bell to reverse the engine
and go astern full speed.
This was perhaps two minutes before
the collision. Had the Alva been twenty.
five or thirty feet further off I'VE should
not have struck her at all. As IL was.
the collision did not make shock felt on
board the Dimock. The injury to us was
trifing, only the plate and upper works
being damaged, and so slight that we are
going out on our regular trip as usual
Captain Coleman mnde 1t pretty plain
that he thought that IL he had been In
the position oil the Alva yesterday morn
ing he would not have been run down.
IF they had made the least noise with
their whistle or fog horn" said he,, I'VE
wanted was to know of the presence OF
any craft at anchor. IL they had sounded
their whistle any time when we were
within q mile OF them, turn or on!
helm, either to port or starboard, would
have carried US into perfect safety.
When was lying at anchor In the fog
after the collision / kept my foghorn
going. aud when found that there was
another steamer In the vicinity blew the
whistle i've or six times In succession te
say, we are at anchor here, and you ars
In danger The other steamer, the Essex,
OF the Baltimore line, heard IL, made out
our position, blew two whistles, put her
helm over. came ahead and passed u'
safely"

lAMS' PUNISHMENT.
What Rhode Island Military Men Say
of IL.

A NEWS representative asked some
RHODE ISLAND military men to-day what
they thought of the punishment Of Pri-
vate Iams &C Homestead for hurrahing
for Berkman.
Gen. Dyer said he did not .hink the
published reports Of the punishment were
correct. lie said he did not think such
punishment would be allowed and sug.
gested that such treatment was more
likely to be given In Russia.
Capt. II. s. Tanner Of Company A, +.
L. l., said that IL the newspaper reports
concerning the stringing mp Of Private
lama, by the thumbs were true, then the
whole proceeding was one of barbarous
cruelty, but In mis- opinion, the reports
were exaggerated.
As for the shaving of the mans head
he considered IL az mere action of the
soldiers, and did not think it was author
lied or even known By the colonel coui-
manding. The cutting of Of the stripes
and buttons was perfectly right, under
the circumstances, and was no more than
the man should have received as punish
ment.

fordsville. Ind At large party . new
tangled kissing game was introduced, which
proved very popular. Tho young men on ar
irving drew strings OF variegated colors from a
box and then selected girls whose dresses
matched this string. The young granger then
took one end Of the string In his mouth and
the girl attached her face in a similar way to
the other end. Both then chewed up the
string until they were mouth to mouth, when
several kisses we're exchanged At the party
In question the person coloring the strings had
used dyes which were not fast aud the colors
ran Several were poisoned very seriously and

fatally.
