WRECK OF THE COLIMA.
Disaster Arc Giyen-M Many Arc Killed
ky Floating Timber.

San Francisco, June 2.-Captain II.
l.. Reed, the well-known marine sur
veyor Of this city, in despatch from
Mazatlan gives some additional par
ticulars Of the Colima wreck obtained
from third officer Hanson, who escaped
on the deck house, and A. j. Suther-
land, who clung to the seats of an over
turned life boat.
The heaviest squall of all those eX-
perienced came after the steamer had
foundered and while passengers and
crew were struggling in the water.
The force of the gale at this time was
dreadful. Many were washed from the
wreckage to which they clung. Some
were killed or rendered unconscious by
being struck by timbers, which were
dashed about with resistless fury.
Rats and boats were overturned. Had
1t not been for this squall many more
undoubtedly would have been saved.
The gale drove RATS and wreckage
before it with great rapidity. Mr. Han
son saw raft pass at $50 p. m. on
the day of the disaster. on 1t were
three men. They driitcd very fast and
were soon lost from view. He also saw
a raft on which We're Mr.. Chilbcry and
six others. These men had two oars
and seemed to be making for shore.
Mr.. Hanson also saw a boat in which
was First Officer Griffiths and four or
five men. When last seen this boat
was trying to pick up the purser, but
it was not seen again, and 1t is sup
uosed to have been swamped in the
heavy sea.
Every one of the survivors, except
Sutherland, is badly bruised by being
struck by the wreckage. He says he
saw two ladies alive and then saw
them drown without being able to rem
der them any aid.
Captain Washed Into tho Sea.
1t Is reported that just as the steamer
went down Captain Taylor was washed
from the bridge into the sea and that
there he was struck by a piece of
wreckage and killed, or so stunned that
he was unable to make further effort to
save himself. He had attempted to
heave-to under the slow bell. but could
not get the vessels head up the sea.
Then he tried going ahead at full speed
two or three times, but the wind threw
her off and she fell into the trough of
the sea. Some of the survivors say the
engines could not drive the steamer in
the teeth of the gale or else they were
disabled. Sutherland and Hanson both
tell narrowing stories of the misery
they witnessed while keeping them
selves ailoat Many of the bodies which

Apparently the children were all
drowned in the cabins. The Colima had
on board 100000 of treasure.

tion of Senator Cameron at tho
Next National Convention.

Washington, June 2.-Senator Tom
Carter, chairman of the National Re-
publican executive committee, who ar
rived in Washington yesterday, Is more
willing to talk about presidential posi-
bilities than he was while in New York.
He expressed his opinions freely in an
Interview as follows:
1.-The Rocky Mountain and Pacific
coast country, in my Judgment, will
work industriously to secure the noml-
nation of Senator Cameron for the
presidency. He Is a sound protectionist
ana fearless advocate OF the cause of
true bimetalllsm, which consists I'm the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at a fixed ratio; and a ratio
OF l6 to Is the most liberal adopted by
any nation in the past. The national
committee, as an organization, will not
take any position for or against silver.
1t Is no part OF the business of the
committee to undertake to declare
party position on current questions.
That task Is left to the party when as
sembled in national convention. Indi-
vidually the members of the committee
generally reflect the sentiment of the
states from which they come on the
money question. 1t is needless to in
quire whether the Republican party is
going to take notice of the silver uues-
tion. That question is becoming as
wide as commerce and absolutely ire
pressible. The party seeking to ignore
1t convicts itself of objectionable stu
pidity. No individual can predict what
communities may do in such contin-
gencies as may arise in the future, but
1t is safe to say that a majority of the
states west of the Mississippi river can
not be held in line with any party which
exhibits hostility or manifests indiffer-
ence on the subject of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver"

1t was Mr.. Greshams intention to

Southampton, June 1.-The American
warships lying in southampton water
preparatory to sailing for Kiel, where
they will take part in the opening Of
the North Sea Baltic canal, have add
ed much to the gaiety of this town.
The harbor today was alive with boats
and launches from the American ves-

the boats arrived and departed was
lined with people watching the move

officers. Since the arrival of the war;

windows contain American devices.

and Americans. Italians and English
mix with the bonhommie characteristic
of their class. The American flagship
has many visitors all of whom are
shown every courtesy by the officers.
Yesterday the mayor of Southampton,
attired in his official robes and chains
of office, returned the visit of Rear
Admiral Kirkland. When the San
Francisco arrived she fired a salute
which the town was not able to return,
having no guns.
The United States steamship Alliance
steamed slowly last night outside, and
then shaped her course westward. She
is bound for Newport but will prob
ably call at Madeira. Her decks were
crowded with officers and men. AS
she passed the flagship she fired a
salute. The squadron will probably
sail for Kiel on June H.

ZERBY'S BRUTAL ACT.
VIII Probably Provoke Mob Violence on
Part of Ncighhors

La Porte, Ind, June 1.-The details of
the fiendish crime of man named
Zerby, living near Bristol. Elkhart
county, has just come to light. A =
year-old girl, the orphan daughter of
Ierby's sister, came to live with Zerby
and his wife. One night recently the
child was assaulted by Zerby, and after
being beaten into insensibility was car
ried mile and thrown into deep
ditch. During the night the child re-
covered consciousness and crawled to
the home of farmer named Wheat.
Medical assistance was summoned
and an examination disclosed the fact
that the girls body had been frightfully
bruised and cut. There is little hope
of the childs recovery. The feeling in
the community is very bitter, and mob
violence is feared.
