Claim to Have Blown Up the Cruiser
BOrcnsteEui.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 23.-An
entirely different explanation OF the SINKING
of the Spanish cruiser Borcastegui and the
less Of forty-sx lives, in the harbor OF Ha-
vsra, on last Wednesday night, Is made IN
letters received in this city today by a dis
tinguished member Of the Cuban revolu-
tiorary party.
According to the news telegraphed from
Havana the day after, the catastrophe was
due to a collision between the cruiser ana
the merchant steamer Mortera.
1t Is now stated, as an absolute fact, that
the Borcastegui was sunk by a floating tor
redo launched by an adventurous party of
Cubans The Cuban leader who received
the letter said: THE Spanish government
knows full well what sunk their best cruis-
er in the Cuban waters and sent to their
deaths Admiral Delgode Parejo. in COM
mard of the Spanish navy in Cuban wa
ters, seven officers and thirty-four men. We
know here that before the dispatch relating
to the accident was sent 1t was care1uily
EDITED by the press censor.
.The adyices which 1 have received say
that on Monday night party of Cubans
under the command OF Capt. Carlos En-
r.que left GuantaEoma in launch with the
re cent invention of an American. 1t was an
ingenious device, so constructed that it
could be launched some distance away from
the object aimed to be destroyed, and then
by piece of clock work, exploded in about
fifteen minutes after 1t is sent out. The
little party on the steam launch had re-
ceived these torpedo launches only week
before.
Capt. Enrique selected point about 200
yards from the war vessel from which to
launch tine torpedo. 1t was slipped out and
as soon as it was gone Capt Enrique gave
order to steam away as rapidly as possible.
The work of the torpedo was even more
speedy than anticipated. Not five minutes
elapsed before 1t exploded with loud re-
port that was heard several miles away.
From what those on the boat say, it must
Rave gone off about fifty feet away from
the cruiser and struck her in the starboard
side. 1t is true that the merchant steamer
Mcrtera was near the warship at the time
ard that she, too, suffered damage, but 1t
was not serious by any means. and II the
men on board of her had kept their head,
they might have saved some of the lives OF
those on board the Spanish cruiser"

They say that he Is on excellent terms

latter's chances of advancement With spe-
cial regard to his successor, they say that
he has done nothing whatever to influence
the President OR the Secretary of War in
that respect. ard that he has studiously

that it would be in exceedingly bad taste

CAMPBELL,s CHANCES.


Ex-Representntlve Thompson Thinks
He VIII he Beaten by 10000.
Ex-Representative Thompson Of Ohio was
ir Washington today. He says that he
thinks Campbell will be defeated for gov
error by a majority of 10000. IF there
were the usual interest in the election, so
that the republicans would all turn out"
he said. Campbell would be beaten by
75.oOO. There is, however, very little in
terest in the campaign, and therefore the
republican majority is liable to be smaller.
It may be less than 10000 If the fight does
not liven up enough. Over the legislature
will be the most active contest, and there
the democrats will do their best. The re-
publicans. I have no doubt, will hold the
legislature. They may not have a large
majority, but they will control it."
