DROWNING OF A SAILOR.
He Falls Overheard From the san
Francisco's WhaIeboat

Provincetown, Mass, June Ga sea-
man was lost overheard from the cruiser
San Francisco. Saturday night. The ship
had been coaling all day and was at an
chor. The night was dark and stormy
and high sea running.
= The crew OF the whaleboat had been or
dered ashore to get mail Five men were
in the boat about to be lowered. when
suddenly it fell. bow first into the sea
Some one had probably touched the de-
taching apparatus in the darkness.
There was a cry of imam oyerboard,''
and a general rush to the starboard side
of the ship. Men could be heard calling
for help in the surging waters but MOTH
ing could be seen In the darkness. Orders
were rapidly given. boat was lowered at
once, and searchlights began 10 play upon
the water. They revealed a man clinging
TO the boat stopper or rope which hangs
from the davit head. and to him three men
were cl!nging desperately. while the
waves frequently dashed over them and
hid them from sight
A sailor with a rope about him jumped
to their assistance Three of the men
were hauled over the ships side. but one
had been so injured that he was almost
senseless. and was held up by the res
cuing sailor until he was pulled aboard

this leg one of his comrades had been
clinging.
One man was still missing. and in
search Of him and the whaleboat boat
shot out. Anxious eyes peered out from
the ship in trail of the searchlights until
far away the boat seemed like mere
spect dancing upon the waters, now lost
in the darkness, now in, the path of the
searchlight again.
The boat was REINFORCED by the steam
launch, and, in the hope that the whale
boat with the missing man in it had drift
ed ashore, the beach was patrolled by
men of the life-saving stations.
After working many hours one of the
San Francisco boats grappled the sunken
whaleboat near the ship this afternoon,
and soon afterward the body of the
seaman was recovered. He will be buried
in Provincetown tomorrow.
The lost man was Klaas Vessels. who
was born in Mausglat. but was a natur-
allied American citizen. He was thirty
years old. and had enlisted in the Navy
in August. 1896. having served on the
Wabash and Cincinnati previous to go
ing on the San Francisco. He was cox
swain of the whaleboat.

The Rising Tide of ror,ism.

Ever since the day upon which Mr..
Mckinley stiffened his backbone and
declared that if Congress did not pass
the Hawaiian annexation resolution he
would hoist the Stars and Stripes over
the islands as a military necessity.
there has been a gradual working up
of the newspapers sacred to the inter-
ests Of the Spanish bondholders and
the Sugar Trust to the point of oppos-
ing our occupation of the Philippines.
They have not Yet dared to come out
openly, but anyone who will scan their
Washington correspondence and edi-
torial columns will see without difficult
ty that they are trying to educate pub
lie sentiment in the direction Of a sur
render of the archipelago to Spain.
There are several obvious reasons for
this Tory policy. If We did not intend
to keep the Philippines. then the neces-
sity for our possession of Hawaii would
be minimlzed to the extent that their
acquisition would be no longer vital to
the protection of our Far Oriental col
ony; and all the old arguments of the
sugar attorneys and other subsidized
persons could be revived. The Philip
pines are sugar-producing territory.
and. under the impetus OF American
capital and enterprise, would become
more so. This offers another reason
why their annexation might be incon-
venient to the Havemeyers and Spreck-

Does 1t Nenn Action.

Does it mean action-stern, military
action-or only more delay and dis
appointment? The port of Santiago is
stopped up with sunken steamship
Five thousand troops are reported to
have landed near by. More are on the
way. A siege train is being moved to
the heights overlooking the harbor in
with his squadron. All the indications
point to battle within the week I'm
der such circumstances the country
ought to be feeling confident that a
decisive blow is about to be struck,
but it is not. 1t can only judge the
present by the past, and fear that our
tactics at Santiago will be pacific or de-
fensive.
Perhaps it is not SO. but, what be-
tween departmental politics and pare
sis, there is no great public eXpecta ton
that anything effective will be done
Even in the case of Hobson's grand ad-
venture, it appears that Sampson vacil-
lated, recalling the hero once when he
: was at the mouth of the harbor with
the Merrimac, and only finally allowing
the foriorn hope to proceed when its
gallant young leader sharply protested
against further interference Left to
himself, the captain and acting rear
admiral, who appears to be given COM
mand of his superior officers to pre-
vent them from accomplishing any
thing, would be doddering yet.
Hobson has redeemed the credit of
the Navy in western, as Dewey has
immortalized its fame in eastern, wat
ers. That being the fact, as long as
subalterns are to be put over the
heads of generals, why would 1t not be
a good idea to adopt the precedent
found in the opera of .'Pinafore" and
order Sampson and Hobson to change
places: the acting admiral to become
assistant naval constructor and the
constructor admiral? The Army has
yet to flesh its maiden sword If not
fnterfered with by desk and teapot or
ders from Washington, the veteran
Shafter can be trusted to give a good
account of himself and of his troops.
An accident to his line of communica-
ton with this capital would help him
out. and we hope that his luck may be
as good as his deserts in that respect.
Do not let this week go by, Mr.. Pres
ident, without turning things loose.
We earnestly wish to see you succeed
in bringing this war to a happy ter
mination through series of achieve
ments honorable to American arms. and
which ought to reflect credit upon YOU.
Congress and the people are beginning
to talk of incompetency, favoritism and
disregard for the conventions of Off
cial intercourse in certain connections.
which, perhaps. you are too busy to no.
tice. But there is a rod in pickle up on
the hill, and it liable to come out
uncomfortably before long. The best
way to remove irritation and disarm
criticism, is to do something, and that
quickly!

Lieut.. Carranza. the spy, denies that his
stolen letter has been correctly translated
in the text published. He says 1t has been
twisted round to suit American purposes.
The truth is that CarranZa should not
have raised that issue for his own sake.
He did make the reflections on Admiral
Cervera which he denies. and. as We in
this country are favorably disposed to-
ward that gallant officer, after his chiv-
alrous conduct in connection with the
Merrimac affair. the insignifcance of the
ex-attache will not prevent the original
letter from reaching the proper authority
in Madrid, after our Government is done
with it, Carranza is no more of a success
as liar than he is as a spy.

REFUSED TO HEAR LOVE.
Convfcts Cry Down a Pro-Spnnish
Preacher

Philadelphia. June 6.-Aifred H. Love,
president of the Universal Peace Union.
whose letter of sympathy to the Spanish
Queen Regent caused such a stir among
patriotic Americans. has been accus-
toned for several years to give religious
talks every Sunday morning to the con-
victs confined in one of the blocks of the
Eastern Penitentiary in this city. He ap-
peared at the penitentiary expecting TO
pursue his usual custom yesterday morn
ing. but the convicts of that particular
block declined to either hear or see him.
and he had to be assigned by the warden
to another block, where his identity was
unknown.
by some means the convicts in the first
section OF the prison learned all about the
famous letter. and Sunday they inter-
rupted its writer with cat calls and de-
risive epithets, supplemented by a racket
made by pounding upon the bars of their
cell doors with tin cups. to such an extent
that Mr.. Love was compelled TO discon-
tinue his talk and leave the prison.

Elective service During the Re-

While naturally greatly relieved by the
arrival of the battleship Oregon at Key
West more than a week ago and the ar
point on Saturday. the anxiety Of the
officials is now centered on the dynamite
cruiser Nictheroy. fAamed the Buffalo.
which was purchaseS from Brazil.
This vessel is duesat Newport News
some day this week, and, while the Ma
Wy Department has absolutely no infor-
nation in regard tto her whereabouts.
they are satisfied she is safe. The Buff
falo was Joined by Ahe Oregon and Mari
eta at Rio de Janeira.. and at Bahia the
battleship dropped the gunboat and her
consort and sped alone on her journey to
Key West. The c8ksietta and Buffalo
separated at Para, Brazil. when the Mari
eta left the latter vessel and followed the
Oregon.
1t is believed. thsp, Buffalo can escape
from any Spanish sdn1bat or torpedo gun
vessel which may now be in the Carib-
bean Sea. What IS SPECIALLY comforting
to the officials Is the fact that Madrid has
not reported the capture of the Buffalo,
and this leads them to believe that she
has so far escaped being sighted by any
Spanish vessel.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
Buffalo at Newport News she will be
docked, her boiler tubes repaired and her
bottom cleaned so as to bring her speed
up to nineteen knots.
She will be placed under the command
of Commander ]. N. Hemphili, assistant
to Capt. A. s. Crowninshield, chief of the
Bureau of Navigation. and will enter COM
mission as soon as practicable. 1t is ex-
pected that she will be assigned to the
North Atlantic squadron. The gunboat
Marietta will also be assigned to the
North Atlantic squadron.
Several vessels will be sent this week
to stations where they will commence ac-
tive war services. The Monterey will
sail probably on Tuesday in tow of the
collier Brutus for Manila and the monitor
Monadnock In tow of the collier Whiting
felt.
On the east coast the cruiser Newark is
receiving her finishing touches at Norfolk
and will sail for Cuban waters within the
next day or so. where she will be made
the flagship of the blockading squadron.
The gunboat Princeton is PRACTICAL y COM
pleted at League Island and will also be
sent South. The only other warship be-
sides the cruiser Buffalo which can be
sent South is the cruiser Chicago. which
will not be ready for service before next
month.

The country will be delighted to learn
that there are plenty of Spanish officers
and men at Fort Mcpherson as prisoners
of war who can be released in exchange
for Lieutenant Hobson and the crew of
the Merrimac. The object is not likely to
be attained for some little time, however,
as both General Blanco and Admiral Ger
vera must be consulted. This will be diff
ficult since communication between the
Spanish military and naval commanders
has been cut off and We can only reach
Sampson by cable to Kingston, Jamaica,
and thence by dispatch boat to Santiago.
Moreover, the matter may be complicated
by a battle within the next few days.

New York. June 6.-The st. Paul is still

and provisions. Her officers say that ev-

they do not expect to leave port before
Wednesday.
Many of the crew today expressed de-
sire to get into action. They are aware
that the St. Paul has no armor, and
would, therefore. be unable to cope with
first-class battleship. but they think
that she could engage some Spanish tor
pedo boats and unprotectec cruisers.
1t was the general impression on board
today that the st. Paul would return to
Cuban waters to act as a dispatch boat,
for which work her speed and size make
her far more serviceable than the Gov

the scout ship will be sent will lSprobably
