in a brief telegram through the United
States minister to Peru. He omitted
such essential details as the name of
the place and the name of the wounded
officer, or they were dropped from his
dispatch in telegraphic transmission.
The telegram is as follows:
Lima, April 5.-To Gresham, Wash

while the mob performed the work
without interference. Mail brings par
ticulars. (Signed) Hicks"

noon and sent the following telegram
to Minister. Hicks, Lima:

One effect OF the absence OF the
White Star Liner Naronic has been to
turn attention to the many ships that
have gone a-missing in the past. sta
tistics show that while. in spite of all
modern improvements and the many
safeguards that are thrown around
the ocean traveller. vessels continue to
get lost, the average Of marine disas-
ters is not as high as 1t was In days
gone by, nor are wrecks Of today char
acterized by the same appalling loss
OF life which as a rule distinguished
those Of earlier times.
The Naval photographer calculates
that in recent years there has been an
annual total loss Of 2i72 vessels. rep
resenting in value about siO0.O00,0Oo.
The annual loss OF life is placed at
1900.
The loss Of merchant and other ships
from various causes was estimated at
Lloyds in 1900 to be about an average
Of 1856 ships a year. IE 1880 It was
shown that 677 British vessels alone
were wrecked during that year. but
the number OF ships afoat at that per-
iod was insignificant compared with
what II is now.
Subsequent years. particularly that
Of 1859 were very disastrous to shipping.
The year 1852 was more prolific in ma
rine disasters than any which had pre-
ceded it. In the following twenty-five
years It is estimated that at least
10000 wrecks occurred.
The long list OF vessels whose loss at
sea was attended with frightful fatali-
ty is led or with the British cruiser
Mary Rose. sixty guns, which upset In
a squall in the year 1545, drowning all
hands. The next important wrecks
were those Of the Coronation. ninety
guns: the Harwich. seventy guns, and
the Royal Sovereign. Sterling Castle
and Northumberland. The 1Oo-gun bat.
tie ship Victory drowned her crew Of
700 on the lie OF Alderney on October
S. 174l. and during the same year the
Namur. seventy-four guns, foundered
in the East Indies, losing all Of her
crew Of 4s5 men except twenty-six per-
sons Almost at the same time the
slxty-gun ship Pembroke was wrecked
off Porto Novo and 800 OF her crew
perished.
