Maria Teresa
w as Seen
OFF CAT ISLAND.
Department VIII Make a
Search for the Derelict.

Washington, Nov. "a message re-
ceiyed at the navy department today,
from Capt Crowninshield, chief Of the
navigation bureau, who is in New
York, called attention to the report that
the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa had
been seen off Cat Island.
The captain expressed his belief in
the accuracy of the report, and sug-
gested to the department that the re-
pair ship Vulcan, now at Norfolk, be
sent at once to make search for the
derelict.
The department acted at once upon
the suggestion. A telegram was sent
to the commandant of the Norfolk
navy yard, directing him to place the
vulcan in command of Capt. McCalla
the captain of the yard, and send her
with all dispatch to look for the Tere-
sa. A similar order was oabled to Capt.
Converse at Guantanamo bay, direct
ing him to send the big wrecking tug
Potomac from that place northward on
the same quest She goes in command
of Capt. J. f. Craven, and the depart
nent believes she will be in the vici-
nifty of Cat Island within Sc hours. The
Vulcan was one of the vessels which
was towing the Teresa when she was
Supposed to have foundered
The department believes she will
reach the scene of the wreck within
4S hours after the leaving of Nor
folk
Cat Island lies about 30 miles west of
the spot where the Teresa was last
seen, and it is said at the department
if the vessel did not founder outright
within very few hours after having
been cut adrift, she was almost GER
tain have fetched up on the shoal
beach off Cat Island, for the wind and
tide set directly on that beach. If so,
the location is much more favorable
for saving the ship than the position
occupied by her off Santiago, where the
bottom was covered with rocks and the
wreckers worked at a great disad-
vantage.
Capt. McCalla was selected for the
ability for this class of work. and the
officers believe if any man can bring
the Teresa into port, he can. 1t is the
belief of naval constructors that the
Teresa took water aboard almost to-
gether through the decks, and not
through the hull, as would appear from
the first account of the loss of the ship.
These decks were only temporary
constructions and We're unsuitable for
rough weather. The fact that the re-
ports indicate that the ship settled by
the head and that water ran into the
coal bunkers and thence into the fire
rooms, comes to bear out the con-
structors' theory.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Waterman at Greene oyster Beds At
tackled by Two Thieves.

Providence, Nov. SIT is alleged that
an attempt was made to murder Walter
Munroe, a Waterman at the Greene
oyster beds near Warren, early this
morning. Munroe discovered two oyster
thieves at work and rowed out to drive
them away. One of the men jumped into
Munroe's boat and in the struggle that
followed both were precipitated into the
water. The man who remained in the
boat, it is alleged, struck Munroe with
an oar While the other tried to drown
him by holding his head under water
This failing, the man in the boat
pulled his PAL from the water and
both rowed away, leaving Manroe in
the water. The latter was able to swim
to the shore a quarter of mile dis
tant, however, and soon aroused far
mers living In the vicinity, who made
q search for the men but they could not
be found

Bismarck. N. D.-The annual meet
ng of the State Wool Growers associa-
ton was held in the city. President
Campbell presided and many members
were present The wool industry has
assumed a more impartant aspect in
the development and prosperity of the
state in the past year, and there is con-
sequently more interest in the pro-
ceedings of the state association. The
increase in the value of wool the past
season has had a great effect in the
promotion of the industry, and the
coming year will probably see Il large
increase in the number of sheep in the
state. All members of the association
in the city report an excellent winter
so far for sheep. The amount Of feed
that has had to be used is small COM
pared With last winter, and sheep are
thriving. The winter so far has been
exceptionally mild, and there has been
Il small amount of snow, so that the
ranges have been clear and sheep have
been able to secure food.
