time +. l.. Voorhees, announced the
first number ON the program, II cornet
solo, 10y Irwin Lewis, who rendered the
"Balladore Girl in good style and IL
was well received. Following was Il
recitation by Lilah Abbay. The little

in her rendition OF ''The Lost Child" a
vocal solo. On the whole, the program
was well gotten up and the audience
was more than satisfied with the way in
which the numbers were rendered.
After the program was through with,
delicious ice cream and cake was served
in any part of the lawn for the small
sum of ten cen q dish. Cigars were
passed around and those who cared to

party next month.

TWO VESSELS GO DOWN.
BOTH DUE TO COLLISIONS.
All on Board the Steamer Saved, but 35
Souls Go Down with the War Vessel.

The Spanish warship Sanchcs Bnrcaizete-
gul, with Admiral de Gado Pareio on bonrd.
was struck by rhe incoming coasting steamer
Mortera, in front Of Moro castle, Wednesday
midnight. and sank almost instantly.
Admiral Parejo and "a OF the crew OF the
warship, including Oapt. Ybanez mud three
other officers. were drowned The remainder
OF the crew. 1l6 In number were saved. The
bodies OF Admiral Parejo and Capt. Ybanez
were recovered.
The Sanchez Barcaizetcgui was an iron.

and 100 nominal horsepower. She was
built at Laseyne, in 1876. She was 2O3 feet
long, 30 feet wide. and had draught Of ~
feet. She carried seven guns.
The warship was leaving port when the
disaster occurred The usual signals were
exchanged between the war ship and the
steamer, but at that moment the cruisers
electric lights were extinguished, when the
collision took place. The cruisers bowsprlt
struck the steamer on the stafboard bow,
making a large hole above the water line
The sound of an explosion which was prob
ably the result OF the conclusion, was heard
and the cruiser was found to be gradually
sinking. Boats from both vessels were low
cred. Admiral Pnreio and the other officers
and the greater number OF the crew embark
edin the boats, but the immersion of the wnr-
ship was so sudden that the boats alongside
were engulfed 10y the suction. When the dis
aster happened there was no panic on either
side.
The latest report shows that the missing

and third engineers, ~ marines, fireman
and 10 sailors.
The Mortern was badly damaged, but she

ture took of all the crew and passengers Of
the Edam in safety. They were landed in
Plymouth. The passengers were all in the
steerage. There was no panic. The Edam
was valued at S250 900, and her cargo ut

AN EXPENSIVE SYSTEM.

Controller Eckels Exp aims How the Gold
Shipments G ONE About.
The Hon. James II. Eckles, com ptroller OF
the United states treasury, made the follow
ing statement on the request OF u represent
alive Of the Associated Press In London
"Beiug thus far away from New York, and
not knowing the exact local conditions pre-
ment Of gold abroad, feel that l can say
nothing upon that subject, which will be OF
special benefit to the public. Generally
speaking, these gold shipments come about
from the fact that the American people are
buying u great deal abroad, and not selling
sufficient OF their own products to equalize
things, thus necessitating n settlement Of the
balance due In gold. We maintain financial
system which makes the United States treas
ury n general market OF supply for all re-
quiring gold. Consequently, more or less
embarrassment comes to the administration
OF the treasury department when these
balances require to be settled. However, the
treasury has always managed to maintain uD-
questioned the payment In gold OF Its obli-
cations, and always will do so. The system
under which 1t Is forced 10 operate makes 1t
sometimes expensive TO do so, but MS long as

that system, and rs long rs the voters tolerate
