raised a few feet from the bottom she
will be towed farther in shore, so that
after several easy stages she will be
high enough out Of the water to make
all the necessary repairs. 1t Is thought
her hull is not In leaky condition, but
that it was the opening CT the sea
valves by the sspaniards which sank
the sth.ip after they saw that it was i'm
possible to get away. If that is found
to be the case, the Colon may be
quickly towed to a dry dock In this
country for permanent overhauling.
II think it will be fully two weeks
before the work OF raising the Colon
can begin. AS to when 1t can be fln-
ished will depend largely on the
smoothness of the water. Fortunately
for us the weather has been propitious
thus far, and it is our hope that 1t will
continue until the Colon Is high and

have been an excellent landing place,
position and transportation facilities
alone being considered, Is shown by a
description contained in publication
issued by the war department, as fol-
lows:
Fajardo-A town of 1876 inhabitants,
of whom 1,776 are white and 1900 col
ored. 1t is the chief town of juris-
diction of S,779 inhabitants, of whom
the majority are white 1t is situated
fifteen and one-half miles from HUI
macao, on the east coast Of the island.
The port is handsome, with a third
class lighthouse at the entrance, at the
point called Cabezas de San Juan, and
customs house open to universal COM
merce. The town is about one and one
quarter miles from the bay.
The only important industry of the
district is the manufacture of Musco-
vado sugar, to which most Of the
planters devote themselves. Shocks,
hickory hoops, pine boards and pro-
visions come from the United States in
considerable quantities. Sugar and
molasses are exported, and occasion
ally tortoise SHE'LL The climate is
healthy and temperate. 1t has post
office and telegraph station. 1t dates
from 1774 It's church is of masonry,
having a steeple with clock and bell,
and was built in 1895, at the same time
as the town hall. Two confiagrations,
in April, of 1882 and 1888, respectively,
destroyed a large part Of the town,
which, however, is today visibly prog
ressing just as the others Of the island.
This town was besieged Nov. IA, 1924,
by Commodore Porter but the inhab-
itants showed such disposition to re-
sist that he put to sea again.
The information was probably OBJ
tanned from Spanish sources, as shown
by the last paragraph, which falsifles
history, and which might have been
omitted had the navy department been
consulted. AS matter of fact, Com
modore David Porter, father of the fa-
nous admiral, in 1923, took command
Of an expedition fitted out against pi-
rates in the West Indies. In October,
1924, he secured evidence that a guam
tity of valuable goods had been car
ried by pirates to Fajardo, and the
Beagle, one Of the schooners of his
squadron, was sent there. On landing
her officers were thrown into prison,
but Immediately after their release,

Porter sailed for Fajardo, landed a

and reported having been fired upon
three times off San Juan, Porto Rico.

in an interview today as saying that
the first solid shot fell within twenty
yards of the ship. The steamer was
Immediately stopped, but, her captain
adds, two more shots were fired over
the Crotia's bows from close range.
Later an officer from the New Orleans
boarded the Crotia and asked if the
ship was injured. Capt Iotze was
highly indignant at being fired upon.
as he considered his ship was outside
the blockading zone. He says he saw
nothing of the invading fleet

DYNAMITE ABOARD.
Attempt to Blow Up the Supply
Ship Port Victor.

NEW YORK, July 25.-In a letter
written by a prominent official here
and received by Capt. William C.
Brackley, of the refrigerator and sup
ply ship Port Victor, says an attempt
was made to blow up the ship when
she was three days out. He said that
a box containing thirty pounds of dy-
Mantle and gun cotton was found,
without any address, ON the main deck
of the steamer. A clocklike mechan-
ism had been arranged by which the
explosives were to be set off. The box
and explosives were thrown into the
sea. The Port Victor left New York
July IA.
The box was made Of two and one
half-inch lumber, and was jointed and
grooved. 1t was eighteen inches high,
twenty inches wide, nine feet long.
When the box was opened another
box made of the same kind of lumber
and nearly as large was found inside.
This was opened and inside were found
the dynamite and gun cotton. The up
per part of the inside of the box was
twined with numerous wires attached
to a mechanism as described by the
captains letter, though the letter did
not state at what time the mechanism
had been set to be exploded. Capt.
Brickley wrote that he and the steward
threw the box overheard. They did

NO OFFICIAL NEWS.

Washington Has Not Yet Heard Di-
rectIy From Gen. Miles.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-(Special.)-
Washington Is entirely without official
news as to the landing Of troops on
Porto Rican soil, but the report from
st. Thomas saying the Stars and
Stripes had been hoisted at Ponce, on
the south coast, is fully credited.
Little attention Is paid the story from
Madrid saying that a landing was
attempted at Bahia Honda and the
Americans were repulsed. 1t is believ-
ed the Madrid government has news
that Miles has landed, and, following
its usual custom, has hastened to claim
a victory, intending to let the public
know the truth gradually.
If the report Of a landing near Bahia
Honda, however, had come from any
other source, it would have been cred
tied, as the unofficial experts had made
up their minds tha. Gen. Miles would
probably attempt landing near there.
The exact point which 1t was supposed
Gen. Miles would select was given as
Fajardo, on the east coast Of the ISL
and, not far from Humacao. Ponce is
on the south coast of the island, and, !,
as the crow flies, about seventy-f1ve
miles from San Juan. FaJardo is much
nearer the capital and that it would

Starving Cubans In Cienfuegos to
Admiral Sampson,

Copyrighted by the Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY, July 25.ZThe fol-
lowing pitiful appeal has been addressed
by the starving people of Cienfuegos to Rear
Admiral Sampson:
Honorable Sir: The Cubans, old men
women and children, resident in the town Of
Cienfuegos and this neghborhood, are all
dying of hunger. Young men are all In the
field with the Cuban troops and have no
shoes nor food. All the provisions in this
town are in the hands Of Spaniards. Cubans
cannot obtain a piece Of bread. as 1t is neces-
sary to send everything to the field. The
Weyler system is in the way. The situation
is terrible.
II you, honorable sir, do not come quick
with your squadron In our help and take
possession of this town, we shall be lost. We
peg you to precipitate your operat on. About
o,Coe old men, women and children shall die
OF hunger in this town. Some of these old
men have four or five sons fighting for free
dom. This Is our horrible situation If the
great people of the United States do not
come quickly in our help we are lost. For
Gods sake come quickly.

MRS. PORTER's LETTERS
Confirms Reports of Spanish Bar

WASHINGTON, July 25.-From San
tiago, under date Of July 8, Mrs. John
Addison Porter. wife of the secretary
to the president. and now with Miss
Clara Barton in Cuban relief work,
has written a personal letter describ-
Ing conditions there. 1t was written
a week after the battle Of Ell Caney
and San Juan. The Red Cross was
then aiding in the care of the wounded
and feeding the thousands of fugitives
from Santiago. The Spanish wounded
captives expressed much gratitude that
trey were given the same attention
that the Americans received. One sur
geon, who dressed the wounds of 200
American and Spanish soldiers told
Mrs. Porter that nearly all the Span
lards We're hit two and three times,
While, as a rule, the Americans were
hit but once or received single wound,

COLON CAN BE SAVED.
That Is the Opinion of Expert Naval
Constructor HObson.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Lieut. Hob
son announced today that the Merritt
and Chapman Wrecking and Derrick
company had consented to undertake
the recovery Of the Cristobal Colon, and
was making every effort to begin the
work as soon as possible
The difficulty of saving the Colon
said he, lies in the complete sub
mergence, upon her beam end, of a.
steamer of 1000 tons. Only a short
portion of her stem is clear of water
which fills her whole interior. Her sea
valves are open, and her sides and in
few places perforated by shells. The
beach upon which she lies is exceed
ingly shelving, forming a part, In fact,
OF the mountain which there rises out
Of the sea. In short, all the condi-
tons are present which render the
righting and raising of the ship an en-
gineering feat of large proportions. At
the same time, 1t is simple and quite
feasible. No new appliances are need
ed; nothing has to be invented; it is
simply a question of getting to the
spot in time with the accepted means
and methods of a sufficient scale"
AS to the plan for raising the Colon,
Lieut.. Hobson said: I'VE will run the
pontoons alongside of the Colon, sub
merge them, and after chains under
the bottom of the ship have been fas-
tened to the pontoons and lightened.
the pontoons will be pumped out. AT
the same time we will use air pumps
in trying to force the water out Of her
air chambers and water tight compart-
ments. If many of these compart-
ments are found to be in good condi-
tion, this combined force from the out
side and the inside will be sufficient to
raise the Colon several feet. If they
are not sufficient, then air bags will be
put in her hold and inflated by COM

huVefas says 1t is Made Up OF PeO-
pie Unknown at Home.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Gen. An
tonic Matoi Lluveras, the representa-
tive in Washington of the Porto Ricar
annexation party, said today in an in
terview that the Porto Rican Junta in
New York, which had taken upon it
self to elect Republican governor for
the island, was made up of people not
known in Porto Rico.
Their IDEAS" he said, "are contrary
to the sentiment of the people of the
island, who want annexation. realizing
that the island Is too small to exist as
an independent republic. 1 see in to-
days papers that DR.. Henna declares
that he has always been personally in
favor of annexation, and, despite the
fact that he is president of the Revolu-
tionary Junta, he would be glad to see
the island annexed to the United States.
Such. however, has not been his atti-
tude heretofore"
Gen. Lluveras showed some docu-
ments and letters relative to a meeting
of the New York junta, held on July
IL. presided over by DIR. Henna, when
that gentleman announced the refusal
of Gen. Miles to allow him to equip an
expedition. The truth is, Gen. L,uveras
said, that DR.. Henna telesraphed some
time ago to Gen. Miles, offering the
services of a well-equipped Porto Rican
expedition to accompany the American
army. His offer was promptly accept
ed. Then he ssnt another telegram an
nouncing that the formation of the ex.
pedition was conditional upon his re-
ceiving civil commission to go with
the army. This Gen. Miles promptly
declined to permit, ar d he told DIR. Hen
ma that he need not equip the expedi-
ton. AT that meeting of the junta DR..
Henna explained that he had been
working to bring about the indepen-
dence of the island, and by a majority
of the votes of those present, about
thirty, he was ordered to ces sse his work
In that direction. After the meeting.
