Recently, however, there has ap-

leading to brutal and violent con-

of sustainers of law and order.

The Marshal means we'll but he is
a young man without practical ex-
perience in matters of this world
and to some extent yet suffering
from the infantile disease known as
"swellsd head" He is a moral and
virtuous young man who presuma-
bly, has always followed the narrow
path of rectitude instead OF travel
ling with the "boys" on the main
road of sin and unlawfulness. 1t is
naturally difficult for him to believe
that any of his employees during
the hours Of duty, paid for by the
Marshal's humble servants, the tax
payers, would enter public drink
ing hall, partake of the stuff which
cheers-when the other fellow pays
for it-go through the pockets Of
any drunken man in sight and then
on the witness stand tell "story."

the following curious little arrow
into the annexatonists' raw hide
armor:
The effect OF excluding from citi-
zeuship in the United States the
Asiatic population is considered the
most serious feature of the proposed
annexation. If adhered to, in the
opinion OF many public men here, it
would lead to straniug OF diplo-
matte relations with China and

WRECKED
IN A STORM.
OverIaden Steamer Triton Sank
Near Cuba.
PROBABLYI5O PEOPLE PERISH
By the Disaster -Forty-two People
Rescued After Severely Suffering
From Exposure.

HAVANA, Oct 1S. = The coasting
steamer Triton, from Havana to Bahia
Honda, province of Pinar del Rio, has
been wrecked between Dominica and
Mariel. ON the north coast of the prov
ince. The steamer went ashore Satur.
day morning during heavy weather
grounding about eight miles from the
coast. The purser and one of the pas
sengers arrived at Mariel late Saturday
evening. They said that the Triton
had ON board over 200 passengers, SOL
diers and civilians, and were probably
all lost.
The Spanish gunboat, Maria Christina,
and the tug Susie, left this port at once
for the scene Of the wreck, and have
Just returned, the gunboat having on
board 10 and the tugboat % of the
members of the lost ships, of whom ID
are civilians and soldiers The where
abouts Of the others of the company are
unknown.
The Triton, which was overloaded,
struck the rock during heavy rain
storm. Her cargo shifted, and 10 min
utes later she sank in 100 fathoms of
water.
A scene of terrible confusion and
panic ensued as soon as the passengers
realized the meaning of the crash. In
a wild struggle they rushed for the
boats. The first boat that was lowered
capsized Immediately and all of the oc-
cupants were drowned in the whirling
waters. The next was struck by an
enormous wave and turned over,
drowning 20, but the frail craft righted
again, and eight, who had been thrown
out, regained.
Some were good swimmers and kept
themselves afoat for hours, others
foated about for "a hours on planks.
-Four soldiers on planks, whom the
strong currents carried east of Havana,
opposite Moro castle, were saved yes
terday morning by pilot boat going
toward Cardenas. They declare that
Saturday evening there were many
others near them on planks, when
morning came all these had disappear
ed. Some OF them probably had be-
came food for sharks.
Those who were rescued tell heart
rending stories of scenes during the
terrible quarter of an hour before the
Triton sank. An army captain, his
wife and daughter, went down togeth-
er, locked in last embrace. A mother
with twins % months old drifted help
lessly away on the crest of great
wave. All the other ladies and children
were drowned. Just as the Triton was
sinking Captain Ricardo, her command
er, committed suicide by shooting him
self with his revolver.
1t is impossible to give the exact
number of those who were lost, but it
is estimated there were no fewer than
$50. No passenger list has been found.
The consignee says that the vessel.
which carried general cargo, was not
insured.
The AZ rescued persons suffered Sc
verely from the exposure. All of them
were more or less bruised and many Of
them badly wounded
On board the Triton was $31, $3.50 in
silver to be used for the payment of the
Spanish military and naval forces.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.--Charles A.

at his home in Glencove, l.. l., at 30
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Dana's
death had been expected for several
hours, and his family and physicians.
were at his bedside when the end came.
His condition had been such for several
months that the members of his family
had kept themselves in constant readi-
ness to go to his bedside at any moment,
On Saturday morning he had q relapse.
and it was apparent that recovery was
impossible. Several times, however, he
rallied, but toward night he began TO
sink. During tho night there were
feeble rallies, but they did not last long.
Sunday morning it was seen that the
end was but few honrs off, and his
attendants remained almost constantly
at his bedside. The end came quietly.

The cause Of Mr.. Dana's death was
cirrhosis of the liver. On June he
was at his Office apparently strong and
healthy. The next day he was taken
vi and he never afterward visited New
York

Friday had much to do with Fastening
his death. On Friday Mr.. Dana showed
signs of distress and everything possible
was done to relieve him. He had been
weakened by his long illness, and dur.
ing the summer was several times
