Cubans Claim to Have Destroyed the
Cruiser Barcnsteguf.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 23-An en-
triely different explanation of the sinking
of the Spanish cruiser Barcastegui and the
loss Of forty-six lives in the harbor of
Havana on last Wednesday night is made
in letters received in this city to-day by
distinguished member of the Cuban revolu-
ton party According TO the news tele-
graphed from Havana the day after, the
catastrophe was due to collision between
the cruiser and the merchant steamer Nor
terra. 1t is now stated as an absolute fact
that the Barcastegui was sunk by float
ing torpedo launched by an adventurous
party of Cubans The Cuban leader who
received the letter said: The Spanish gov
ernment officials know full well what sunk
their best cruiser in Cuban waters and sent
to their deaths Admiral Parejo, in COM
mand of the Spanish navy in Cuban waters,
seven officers and thirty-four men. We
know here that before the dispatch relating
to the accident was sent it was carefully
edited by the press censor The advices
which 1 have received say that on Monday
night party of ten Cubans under the COM
mand of Captain Carlos Enrique left Guam
tanamo in a steam launch, with a tor
pedo, which was the recent invention of an
American. 1t was an ingenious device, SO
constructed that it could be launched some
distance away from the object aimed 10 be
destroyed, and then, by a piece of clock
work, explode in about fifteen minutes after
1t was sent out. The little party on the
steam launch had received these torpedoes
only week before. Captain Enrique Sc
lected point about 200 yards from where
the war vessel was from which to launch
the torpedo. 1t was slipped out and as
soon as 1t was gone, Captain Enrique gave
orders TO steam away as rapidly possi-
bic. The work of the torpedo was even
more speedy than anticipated. Not five min
utes elapsed before il exploded with a loud
report that was heard several miles away.
From what those on the boat
say it must have gone off
about fifty feet away from the
cruiser and struck her in the starboard
side. 1t Is true that the merchant steamer
Mortera was near the war vessel at the
but IL was not serious by any means, and
IL the men on board of her had kept their
heads they might have saved come of the
lives of those onsboard the Spanish cruiser"
A dispatch fromm Havana says: AS the
cruiser Barcastegui, which was sunk by
the merchantmen Mortera Wednesday
night, constitutes danger to vessels leav-
Ing or entering the port of Havana, 1t has
been decided to break up the hull of the
vessel with dynamite. The divers have re-
fused to work upon the wreck on account of
the danger from sharks and because of
the insufficiency of their outfits Two

TRAGEDY ON THE STREET.
Mack Sinapkins Cuts Mrs. Dudley's
Throat and His Own.

STAMFORD. Conn.,, Sept 2S.-:AIrs. Henry
l. Dudley, young mulatto woman, was
murdered late this afternoon by Mack
Simpkins, colored plumber, who after
wards ended his own life by cutting
his throat with a razor. Simpkins,
widower with three children, had
been very attentive to Mrs. Dud-
ley. Her husband, who is a truck
man. the city dog catcher and a prosperous
citizen, resented Simpkins's attentions to
his wife and for time the latter refrained
from seeing the woman. This morning he
got drunk and told several of his friends
that he intended to commit suicide This
afternoon he met Mrs. Dudley on one of the
principal thoroughfares of the city. He ac-
costed her, and after speaking few words,
suddenly drew a razor from his pocket and
drew IL across her throat, making a cash
several inches deep and extending from ear
to ear. Dr. Francis j. Rogers who wit
messed the murder, attempted TO capture
Simpkins, who fled, still holding the bloody
razor in his hand. When the murderer had
gone but a short distance down a side
street he stopped, and with the razor cut
his own throat, dying almost instantly.
Mrs. Dudley, having been taken home ex-
pired half an hour later.

are looking forward with interest 10 the
speed trial Of the ram Katahdin. which
is TO take place on Oct. B. The Dolphin
has gone north to be present at the trial
and the result will be awaited with gem

experts about the department who appear
TO think that IL will prove deficient In
some important respects and especially m
that OF speed. The contract under which
the boat was built calls for seventeen
knots an hour. At the private trial which
has already been had this speed was not
attained. but some improvements have since
been made and the builders are hopeful
that the contract requirements will be met
