PANTHER RETURNS TO NEW YORK.
Hrings Some of the Mines from the
guantanamo inrhor.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The Panther,
Commander George c.. Reiter. arrived from
Guantanamo bay, Cuba, today, to be sup
piled with a battery. The Panther left New
York on April %, with the First marine bat
south for the war. The marines were
landed at Camp McCalla on June l0.-1he
fighting at Camp McCalla began on the
afternoon of the 18th. The Panther's two
3-inch rifle field guns did excellent service
in securing the woods with shrapnel.
The death of Sergeant Major Goode was
the most affecting one. He was shot through
the body just above the hip and was at
the time in an exposed place, where he
should not have been, but in his ardor had
been wholly forgetful of danger. Just after
the shot passed through him he turned tc
the men and said: Let me get to ms
post and fell over dead.
The Panther brought with it seven Span,
ish marine mines taken from the bay o
Guantanamo. Three are bell shape, abou'
four feet long, and three feet in diametel
at the widest part. They are intended t.
be discharged by contact, and arms extend
ing from the sides cover a plunger, which
when driven e~Xplodes the guncotton. Bar
when the Marblehead had caught one on it
propeller the plunger was prevented from
moving by becoming jammed by the barna
cles. Otherwise the mine would have eX
ploded, as the gunCotton vas in perfec
condition. 1t was the baTnacles also tina
saved the Texas.

GENERAL MERRITT MtSQUOTED
Corrects the Statement that He Out
lined the Foreign Policy of
he administration

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-Mayor Phclan
has written a letter in which he says that
Major General Merritt did not speak the
words attributed to him in responding to a
toast at a private dinner given in his honor
by Mr.. Phelan.
General Merritt is reported to have said
at this dinner: 81 believe in the new ma
tional policy of the United States, which
looks to the acquisition of additional terri
tory, representing the outlying islands that
are requisite for the development of national
strength and growth"
Mayor Phelan says that neither these
sentiments nor words were uttered by Gen
eral Merritt. The dinner was a private one
at which there were no reporters. and Gen.
eral Merritt was misquoted in announcing
the new national policy, upon which, as I
matter of fact, he did not dwell at all.
