Circulation Statement.
WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 20.

Among other things developed in the
Senate debate yesterday, it appears that
the reason assigned by the President and
Secretary OF State for the suppression of
the consular reports was that it was feared
that if they became public our consuls
would he mobbed and murdered. Of
course, the presence of a few warships in
Cuban waters would have rendered such
q thing impossible, because the Spanish
residents Of the island, like Weyler and
the rest of them, are a lot of arrant COW
ards, who only need a show of force to
drive them TO their holes in terrier. But
then warships would look ''unfriendiy, -
and are not to be thought of; andthe same
is true Of the facts from Cuba, which must
be suppressed wherever possible

STORY OF A LOST SHIP.
Its Fate Told by a Bottle Found
After Many Years.


BAYFIELD,, Wis, May 20.-Fourteen years
ago the steamer Manistee left Bayfield,
for Chicago, III. There were forty people
on board, including the crew. That night
a savage storm came up She was seen to
clear the group of islands at the north OF
the bay known as the Apostles. When the
storm cleared the Manistee was not to he
round-only some wreckage. Yesterday
James Taggart discovered half imbeddcfl in
the beach five miles south a glass bottle,
in which was this message:
November. 1SS3-Left Bayfield, at 1:1O
a. IN. Just in sight Of Michigan Light
house We may not survive the storm.
Heavily laden and hard to turnin the storm
CAPTAIN MCKAY,
Steamer Manistee."
The writing had faded with the lapse
OF years, and the glass OF the bottle was
worn thin withits constant heating against
the sandy shore OF ChequamagOn Bay.
There is no doubt as to it's authenticity.
A belief has been general that the m A.
chinery of the steamer gave out that night
in the gale, and the spray had frozen over
the falls of the lifeboats, SO that 1t was
impossible to lower them to save the
crew This is further strengthened by the
fact that the City of Duluth, her sister
ship, wrlt through the gale all right.
she was owned by the Lake Michigan and
Lake Superior Line.

1t was on the morning OF October 13
that Bennett went TO the room in the
building, IA McAllister street, occupied
by his divorced wife, and. after getting
her into the corridor, he threw her down

DOPE" FIBuDS
DIE IN JAIL
Great Fatality Because of
No Place for Victims
of Morphine.
Half the Prisoners at the Branch
Jail Use the EnerVating
Drug.
San Francisco Has More of Such
Human Wrecks Thai Any City
in the World.

DR.. J. r. McMurdo, one of the city
physicians complains that there are no
adequate accommodations at the Branch
County Jail for the large and unfortunate
class of prisoners addicted to the use of
morphine, cocaine and like drugs. This
city's record beats that of any place in the
world for such cases.
The doctor makes the startling an
nouncement that fully half of the prison
ers confined in the auxiliary prison are
addicted to the use of morphine. The
death rate among them is very great from
the fact that there are no hospital accom-
modations. There is not anywhere fit
place for the confinement of men addicted
TO the use of the drug" said the doctor
yesterday, lowing to the fact that there IS
no appropriation for the care Of such pris-
onerS. They cannot be sent 10 the City
and County Hospital because they are
prisoners, and as such would need to be
carefully guarded, but there IS no appro-
pr!atlOn with which TO pay for such
guards. Many of them are arrested for
vagrancy when they need hospital treat
ment."
An examination of the records at the
MOrgue and Health Office shows that the
''reat death rate at the Branch County
Jail is due very largely to the number of
victims OF morphine. Many of the pa
tients arrive in a pitiable condition, being
emaciated when they arrive. Physicians
say such persons should be put under
thorough medical care if the object is 10
save them. There is nc warm room at
the Branch County Jail where such per-
sons can be treated. As a result many die
at once.
They are treated with strong bromides
when they are suffering from lack of NOR
phine, but the accom- modations are so
poor that it is not possible to give them
he attention required by sick men. Dr.
McMurdo and others of the medical staff
say that there is no way TO overcome the
difficulty unless iail hospital is built.

DID HE Die OF TYPHUS OR NEGLECT
a Grave Question Raised in the
Pulpit Over Hawkins
Death.
ILLNESS FARES WORSE THAN CRIME.
Strong Words Said at the Months
Mind Mass for the Brave
Nurse.
ILLNESS FARES WORSE THAN CRIME.

A solemn requiem mass of month s
mind was celebrated at 81. Peters Church.
Alabama street. between Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-ffth, yesterday morning for
the repose OF the soul of late William
Hawkins, the nurse who died under such
strange and pathetic circumstances at The
City and County Hospital a month ago.
Nurse Haw kins volunteered to attend
the typhus patient Miller, who was sent
to the city's lazaretto, off the San Bruno
road, a few weeks before, well knowing
and approaching that by doing so he was
riskIng his own life. Hawkins felt that
duty called him there; he answered the
call. Day and night he stood by the side
OF the fever-stricken patient, and when
death came 10 the relief OF Miller his
faithful nurse broke down. 1t was a; fir I
supposed that Hawkins was suffering
from a nervous strain consequent upon
over eXertioa, but he soon developed a
high lever. Wh-n he became worse and
the suggestion was made tn II he had con-
traCted the Creaued disease, typhus, he
begged pI'eousIy not 10 be sent to the laZ-
arctic. He had experienced its terrors

through what his patient Miller had SUI
fered. There was no other place Tor him,
and Gs a last resource a tent was pitched
for him in the yard of the County Hos
pital. There he fingered for few days,
receiving all the attention that could be
given HIM under the circumstances. A
lew hours before his death he received
the last rites OF the Catholic Church, and
FaJ her Lyons OF ST. Peter's Church, who
attended him in his dying moments, made
all the arrangements for his funeral.
1t was just month ago yesterday tn at
awElna died and a mOntb'S mind mass
was celebrated tor the repose of his soul.
On Sunday, IN giving notice OF the
services to be held, Father Mcdonald OF
ST. Peters Church spoke in feeling way
of Hawkins death.
Father Mcdonald asked the people-aS
many of them as could conveniently DO
500 be present at the mass yesterday 10
show their appreciation OF the heroic SELF
sacrifice of William Hawkins and to pray
for the eternal reDose of his soul. He
then went on to state the circumstances
OF Hawkins death; his volunteering 70

HIJDDLED I'OCEIHER
IN A DISEASE
BREEDING BARN
Father McDonald's Vigorous Denunciaton of the Po-
litcal Methods Of the City and County
Hospital

the men who are accOunta BILE for
the City and County Hospital can
scarcely be held bIamcleSS of his
death. The City and County Hos
pital is a disgrace TO civilization.
The voice OF every decent man and
woman in the community should
be raised persistently in protest
against it.
1t is the business of the Supervisors to
see that the poor Of the city receive proper
treatment in sickness. This duty they
have ignored and it seems are defer rmine5
to ignore.
"They have been accused right
fully or wrOngfully of stealing
from corporations, and a big fuss
has been made over it-but when
they rob the poor of a few last
gasps, when, instead of helping
them towards recovery, or where
that is impossible, soothing their
last hours in a world which has
given them nothing but hard
knocks, they multiply their suffer-
ings, and no voice is raised in
manly indignation at the disgrace
and the shame of it-which is the
greater crime before God and
man?
IF these poor people over at the
City and County Hospital were
criminals, no matter how de-
praved or red-handed, they would
be we'll and comfortably cared for,
but being only unfortunate and
poor, by the gracious mercy of the
Board Of Supervisors they are
huddled together i'll a disease
breeding barn and left to die Of
politics.
The management of the City and
County Hospital itself the medical atten-
ton both of the resident staff and the
visiting physicians and the nursing-ali
that is OF the very highest order. No
other hospital can excel ii. But science
and conscien tious care can do very little
in place which defes all laws of santa
ton and where natural corruption is
aided and abetted by its twin devil, peli-
les, in the work of destruction.
