The State Board of Health concluded it's
annual session yesterday afternoon. The
most important discussion was that over
Southern cattle which are shipped to VIII
Wilmington Some of these cattle are af-
fected by Texas fever, which Is contagious.
and 1t was the general opinion that the
cattle should be inspected before they are
allowed to come into Delaware. A latter
from the Inspector at Baltimore was read
which stated that on Saturday several
carloads of the cattle were received here.
The butchers names to whom they were
consigned were given. The law of this
State gives the acting governor the power
to stop any such train at any time and
place and gives him the power to call on
the sheriffs of the various counties to en-.
force tho law.
Dr.. L. W. Cooper was reelected presi-
dent and l.. u. Frazer secretary OF the
board.

sion OF the house was the consideration of

A HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Wreck Of the French Passenger
Steamer Dom Pedro.
ONLY THIRTY-EIGHT WERE SAVED

OF a Hundred aud Forty-one Souls
Board-Tho Vessel Struck on u Rock on
Cape Corrubedo and Then Her Boiler
Exploded.
CApIz. May 29.-The French steamer
Dom Pedro, bound for Carril, Spain, has
been wrecked OF Cape CortGbcdo. The
number who perishod in the disaster is
now ascertnined to be 1903, and only thirty
eight were saved. The survivors have
taken refuge in the little town of Villa
garcia, in the province of Pontevedra,
twenty miles north Of ths town of Vigo.
The little town is located on the southern
shore of the Bay of Arosa and has n small
harbor for fishing vessels, the population
numbering less than ., 900 souls
The Dam Pedro was 0, 600 ton steamer,
and was engaged in running regularly
between Havre and the Argentine Repub-
lie, calling at Bordeaux, France, for pas
sengers, and Carril, Spain, for freight and
passengers. The latter were mostly emf
grants bound for the Argentine Republic
or other parts of South America.
On her return trips the Dom Pedro was
generally loaded with frozen meat. She
left Havre on May 20 last with crew Of
forty .nino, all told, and with eighty pas
benpefS on DOaru.
At Carrl the steamer was to have en-
barked 200 additional passengers. But on
her way to that port she ran on rock off
Cape Corrubedo, on the west coast Of Gal
icia, her boiler exploded and the vessel
foundered almost Immediately afterwards.
The Dom Pedro had valuable cargo
and many Spanish emigrants on board.
All the officers except the captain were
lost, Thirty eight passengers and sailors
were saved, chiefly by people along the
coast, who went out in their small boats
and rescued the survivors with much diff
fculty. Twentyfour OF these have arrived
at Carrit and the remainder are at Villa
garcia They say the scono was horrible
In the extreme.
tCape Corrubedo, where the vessel was
wrecked, Is on the western coast OF Galicia,
near the entrance TO the Bay OF Vigo.
This coast from Cape Flnisterre to the
Bay Of Vigo Is very dangerous in rough
weather. The coast line is broken by
many tiords, which are full of submerged
reef and narrow channels. This coastline
presents the most southerly prolongation
of the ford or firth system of Norway,
western Scotland and Ireland forming as
usual, 6ne harbors; but, as intimated
above, ones very difficult of access
