! NEW York, Nov. 3-A dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago de Cuba,
says: 1t is rumored that the transport
Panama went down in a gale in the
Windward passage last night. The
rumor is based on the report of fish
ing schooner from Cape Maysi. 1t is
not known whether apy passengers and
crew reached the shore in safety.
wRECKAGE AFLoAT.
Some foundation for the reported loss
of the transport is found in the fact
that large amount of wreckage, sup
posed to belong to the Panama, has
been picked up. Eight articles marked
Panama were found in the water but
no trace of the vessel has been seen SO
far as known here. The Panama was
taken from the Spaniards as prize
aud was in bad condition when she
sailed from Santiago on Monday. Her
engines were out of order and the hull
damaged. Postmaster Hugo Hydeman
declined to place tho mails aboard.
Many seamen here say the vessel has
been unseaworthy for long time.
800 ON BOARD.
The Panama had 300 persons on board
including officers, passengers and crew.
Among the passengers were Represen-
tative John Dalzell and a former con-
gresham at large, Huff, of Pennsyl-
yania.
There were also several officers of the
regiment now stationed at Santiago on
their way home on account OF illness.
Most of the passengers, however, were
from Puerto Rico. There is no tele-
graphic communication between here
and Cape Maysi. General Wood has
ordered all vessels bound eastward to
be on the look out for any traces Of the
Panama passengers and crew.
THE AMERICAN PARTY.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 3.-The mem
bers of the West Indian party from
Pittsburg and this neigborhood believed
to have been on the Panama were Con-
gresham John Dalzsll, ex-Congress-
man George #. Huff, Judge Jacob f.
Slagle, DR.. G. Bingeman, j. G. Treacher,
editor of the Jeannettes Dispatch and a
friend of Huff.
When the party left Pittsburg about
two weeks ago it was reported that
Dalzsll and Huff were going as agents
of the Pennsylvania railroad but this
has been denied. Huff's object was no
doubt to look after coal lands in Cuba
and Puerto Rico. Dalzen went to in
vestigate the political conditions. The
other members of the party were in
vited guests.
NO OFFICIAL NEWS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-7The war de-
partment has received no official infor-
nation from any Official source OF the
rumored wreck of the transport Pa
mama. The officials are confident that
if General Wood at Santiago, where the
rumor originated, attached any credence
to it he would have notified the depart
ment.
LATER-ALL SAFE.
HAVANA, Nov. 3. = The transport
Panama from Santiago arrived here
this morning and landed seven Ameri-
can passengers, including some military
officers. She left Havana at 10 a. d, |,
her destination apparently being New
York. III
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. al. Duff,

LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

The weather this week has been a disappointment to everyone, but the great number of excursionists who have been waiting and watching for the clouds to roll by so they could make their excursion to Lighthouse Point or Mansfield's Grove have been the most disappointed of all, but clear skies and a bright sun are again seen to-day, and all these excursionists will smile again.
 The popularity of the Lighthouse is growing all the time, and it is not to be wondered at when we stop to think of all that has been done this season for the comfort and amusement of visi- tors. The grove, with all it's forest of trees, is in the height of it's beauty, and it's capacity is such that it can never be crowded. The open air theater has also been a great drawing card for the reason that although everything is free and entertainments given every after noon and evening it has been kept up to a high standard and nothing but first class acts are allowed oh the stage. Go down to-day and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

her natural vocal attributes may be, to the development of low-spealsing voice. Few, if any direct the atten- ton to the raising of the pitch, except where the voice Is intended to be the medium for song, Nevertheless, such treatment is now and then necessary, and grave injury is often done by urg- ing a constant use of the lowest tones of which the voice is capable.
 A voice is said to have it's pitch from that point in it whence the higher tones ascend and the lower ones begin their descent. This central plain, or resting place, will commonly be found to cor respond with the middle c on the piano although it sometimes rises to G natur- al in the higher voices. In seeking the pitch, therefore, which will present to the nearer the best and most potent portion of the voice, the experimentist, having fully satisfied herself as to which are truly the most natural and easy sounds at her command, should practice daily reading, it may be - some blank verse selection (since this can be musically divided without slip ping into the less conversational and rhyme). Before beginning the eXperi- ment the reader should conscientiously take the dorsal exercises, and hips wit body to correct action and position with every vocal.- Ada Sterling, ir Harper's Bazar.

 Her part of the day showed marked
 falling off in the animation of the mar ket and the conspicuous movement in prices confined almost entirely to the industrial specialties, It became evil dent at the opening that there were
 supporting orders in leading stocks which offered a barrier to further de- cline in them. There was in addition a continuance of the outside demand for stocks through commission houses Some of the industrials showed buoy ant tone and served to sustain prices. Although there was some realizing dur ing the first hour it was so well ab- sorbed that the bears became discour- aged and desisted from their efforts to break the market. When it was an- I nounced that the stock exchange would be closed from to-day until Monday it became evident that the shorts were the ones who felt timid about leaving commitments outstanding.

 the bull movement in full force.

night that he understood from what the two nurses and the captain of the Red Cross yacht told him that about 200 in all would be sent here He said that arrangements would be made to take care of this number and that to-day tents to accommodate those for whom there was no room in the hospital buildings would be erected to-day on the Davenport avenue side of the hos pital grounds. The Red Cross yacht Admiral sailed from Belle dock for Montauk about F o'clock last night and is expected back with more sick soldiers some time late this afternoon, It takes her about five hours to make the run from Montauk Point to this city.
 As it is probable that the force of nurses now at the hospital will be im- possible to take care of the soldiers now there and those to come it is re- quested that all graduates of the Con- necticut Training School for Nurses who would like to assist in nursing the soldiers will send in their names at once to the superintendent of nurses Miss Henry.
 Late last night it was said at the hospital that all the soldiers were rest ing comfortably and that all seem over joyed to be in a place where they could receive good care.

LACE AND NET GOWNS.

Lace or net gowns are economical investments, for they can do duty for many different occasions with other waists. Of course there is no limit to the amount of money that can be spent on lace, whether it is lace edging or bought in g. piece by the yard. Net is less expensive, and is often quite as effective. A charming gown, and not an expensive one, can be made of the ordinary open-work black net over a taffeta lining; the skirt with a deep flounce, either gathered or pleated, and trimmed with rows of velvet three rows around the flounce itself, and two just where the flounce joins the skirt
 A pretty way to make the waist is to have it over a fitted lining, with the lace itself put on full from around the shoulders, but the fulness drawn down on to the lining. Around the shoulders two rows of velvet ribbon wider than that used on the skirt can be gathered on, and then put down the front again. With this may be worn an unlined yoke and long sleeves of black net, with black velvet high collar or, If desired, a white one; but the last Is hardly to be recommended rashly, as it is not always becoming. If the all black looks too sombre, a bertha of white lace may be added, or g. band of jet passementerie put around the shoulders. Jet lights up an all-black gown amazingly. Such a gown as the one just described is quite smart enough to wear in the evening with a low waist With high waist of black taffeta, or with one of the little black taffeta coats that are fashionable 1 this year, it is smart enough for after and church wear. Another point is i that almost all the nets that are worth | buying wear well, and when they do | look tumbled, after time, can be l freeshened and pressed so that they look almost like new. A beautiful woman never looks more distinguished than In an elegant black gown. It is alike becoming, when well. designed
 well made and of good material, to old and young, and has the advantage of
 never seeming too pronounced.

Brocken Scene Tonight and Baby
 Show Next Week.
 The Brocken scene at Savin Rock last night attracted a large crowd and every seat in the grand stand and on the bleachers was taken. Every car on the line was called into service, and left the green every two and one-half minutes, instead of on a five minute schedule, as usual. The Congress ave- nue cars ran way through to the rock. The Brocken scene will be given for the last time tonight.
 A feature of the baby show which will be held at the Rock August 24 will be a baby parade. Special prizes will be given for the best decorated car- riages For the most elaborately deco rated one a S10U ladies bicycle will be given; to the best patriotic decoration of a carriage a $50 loving cup will be given; for the prettiest baby under two years of age a Go Cart will be given; for the prettiest baby over two years of age and under three Singer sewing machine will be given. Prizes not yet decided upon will also be given for the prettiest, the latest and the youngest baby.

THE PLATFORM VOICE

On the platform the accustomed speaker finds herself, not infrequently, suffering from sudden constraint, and her vocal organs limiting their action in consequence to very few tones. generally the middle ones, but often to the high, strained ones or the extreme low voice, according to the degree of oppression under which she is moment arily laboring. To avoid mourning such temporary indisposition, many. notably the clergy, adopt chantlike form of speech almost monotone. in order to relieve the supposed strain on the vocal chords. This is an extreme ly dangerous experiment, however, not only offending the aural sensibilities of all listeners, and inducing somno- lence against which even the elouuence of Demosthenes would prove unavail- ing, but it reacts upon the speaker, strengthening the particular part of the voice organs brought thus into con- stant use, but eventually hardening it beyound the possibility of cure.
 The pitch so produced is not natures s handiwork but the result of bad vocal habit. Persons who are obliged to constantly talk above other sounds, such as the rumbling of street-cars or the roar of exchanges, frequently speak in high, strained manner, which is widely removed from the pitch they should properly employ although the habit of strained spech is so usual with them as to seem almost natural. It should be ascertained and remembered thereafter, that that which is habitual, especially in vocalism. is not perforce, to be laid at natures door. The Iarg- CT number of thin, high, harsh, or not ably disagreeable voices one hears, are directly attributable to early neglect indifference some nervous conscious ness, or other bad habit, each telling its own story to the ear of the close stu dent.
 Only an occasional voice is heard to speak naturally upon extreme tones high or low. Low tones almost invar- iably possess rotundity and carryine power, with a capacity for sympathy, which is seldom present in the very high voice; and the universal recogni- ton of this fact leads many superficial instructors to indiscriminately direct the attention of the student, whatever

 Of these men some are very sick, and those most critically ill are Agnew, Hill, McGure and Paris. It is still too early for the hospital physicians to form much of an opinion as to how they are, as no histories of their cases were sent with them.
