Boiler of the Torpedo Boat Destroyer
DestructOr Exploded.

LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Globe from Gibraltar says a British steamer
which has just arrived there reports Off
cially that she passed, yesterday evening,
a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer, which
was guarding Algeiras bay and straits.
Shortly after the steamer passed her all the
lights of the destroyer were suddenly ex-
tinguished, terrific explosion followed i'm
mediately and the destroyer disappeared.
The disaster, the dispatch adds, was appar-
emily caused by the explosion of the boilers
of the torpedo boat destroyer. 1t is feared
that all on board of her have persisted. The
Inflated boat is probably the Destructor.
The Destructor is classed as a torpedo
gunboat. She was built of steel at Clyde
bank in 1887 and was 1872 feet inches long
and estimated TO have speed of
about 2212 knots. Her armament consisted
of one S.5-inch gun, four sx-pounder rapid
firers and four Maxim guns. She had three
torpedo tubes and had a crew Of fifty-five
men.

David Hedrfck Found to Have Been
Murdered In Cold Blood.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, May 1.-THE grand
jury was called In special session to-day to
investigate the killing of David Hedrick, for
which Thamer Cory is held here AT the
time of the killing it was given out that
Cory accidentally shot Hedrick, who was
deaf, while they were out hunting, and
Cory was held, charged with careless shoot
ing. Since the facts published in the Jour4
nal this week were read a different light is
thrown on the case and the deaf mute will
probably be avenged. The coroner was no.
tined to exhume the body and at the au-
topsy tonight it was found Hedrick's
throat was not only cut from ear to ear,
but had four deep Stabs or gashes on the
neck. one of which would prove fatal
Corys story is he accidentally shot Hedrick
1t is alleged by neighborS and friends that
Hedrick was murdered in cold blood for the
$l2 and watch he had on his person, and
that Cory after numbering him, started to
bury his victim, when he was discovered.
There is no explanation given for the cor
oner not discovering these facts when his
verdict was rendered Cory who is still in
Jail, claims 1t was an accident In regard
to the partially dug grave which has been
found, he says he knows nothing Of it, and
that it must have been the work of some
one else. He is a young man, and there are
diverse opinions about his reputation. The
case is beginning to attract much attention
since the Journals story was published.

Father Maujay Tells Practitioners to
Fight for America.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND, Ind, May 11.-Regarding the
hbelous reports printed in some of the pa
pers that the Catholics are mpathizing
with Spain, Rev. Father Constantine Maui
jay, of this city, in sermon says I'VE are
all American citizens, and we owe our allie
glance to the United States. This is the
country which gives us protection in every
thing The stars and stripes is the flag I'M
der which we live and prosper as citizens
and Catholics, and every true Catholic will
give the last drop of his life's blood in de-
Tense of this country and its flag. If we are
needed in this war it is the duty of every
Catholic to take up arms and fight for the
country to which we owe so much. What
care we for Spain? Spain is Catholic
country, but the Catholics of this country
owe no allegiance to Spain or the Pope in
this war. America is the land Of the free
in all ways, and America has no more true
or patriotic citizens than the Catholics. We
know neither Catholic nor Protestant when
America is in danger, but we are all fight
ing soldiers to uphold her flag and her
honor"
Father Maujay has been the priest here
for several years, has already celebrated his
twenty-fifth anniversary in the priesthood
and is most highly esteemed.

is very rare. General Gomez himself had
