given, she lay at the bottom of the ocean
with "a of her passengers. The remainder
succeeded in embarking in a launch
and reached this city this afternoon.
The list of the survivors includes G. Wes-
ton. Skowhegan, Me. A. c. Kingsbury,
Boston; J. G. Coutre and G. J. REILLY,

sengers were prospeo0ors with the excep-
ton Of Rev. V. G. Gannbrel missionary
who, with his wife and child. was on his
way to st. Lawrence islands in the Beh-
ring sea. He refused to place his wife

account of the disaster. They were un-
able to account for the vessels SPRING

were warm in their praise of the work
done by Capt. Crockett at the time of the
laundering of the vessel.

LITTLE TOO FRESH
United States Officials at Key West in
Need OF Call Down.


Washington, June 1.-The complaints
made against the United States officers at
Key West of improper treatment of the
captiyes on prizes brought in by Ameri-
can vessels are being daily reinforced and
are creating so much dissatisfaction here
that it would not be surprising if the
prizes hereafter taken by naval vessels
were ordered further north, to Charleston,
for instance, thus depriving the Key
West officials Of the fat fees which they
have been making from this source.
First eame the report from Admiral
Sampson Of Cadet Jones's charges against
the officials which are now to be formally
investigated by a naval court. The latest
case is in connection with the British
ship Restormal. which was captured off
Santiago with load of coal apparently
destined for the Spanish fleet inside.
This vessel was brought into Key West
with o prize crew and although her
British nationality was perfectly evident,
the officials at that port from some unex-
planned reason, positively refused to per-
NIT the captain to communicate with the
British vice consul The British embassy
here, being advised of tine fact, made
prompt representations to the State De-
partment with the result that orders were
forwarded without delay to the district
attorneys office at Key West, to at once
put the captain of the Restormal in COM
nlunioaticn with the vice consul.

CADET JONES' CHARGES.
Dist rfct Attorney Stripping Denies Them
Seriatfm.

Key West, Fla, June Ito n. MIN
the United States circuit court today
Judge Locke ordered the condemnation of
the cargo of O. 400 tons of coal on the
British Restormel captured off Santiago
harbor on May rs, while trying to enter
presumably to deliver coal for the Span
ish feet. The case of the steamer will
come up tomorrow.
Judge Locke also ordered an investi-
cation Of the charges made by Naval
Cadet Needham L. Jones against depu.
ty marshals and prize commissioners of
the prizes and requested Commodore
Remey to appoint naval officer to be
present at the hearing. On April 81,
Cadet Jones who brought In the prize
steamer Catalina, complained to Admi-
raj Sampson that the Cubans and igno-
rant Americans employed by the Marshal
to guard the ship, treated the Spanish
officers and crew with indignity, jeering
at them, making insulting remarks about
Spaniards and using 1agrantly discour-
teous lang uage to the prisoners; also that
the deputies and Cubans who were per-
mitted to come on board plundered the
ship. Similar abuses had been com.
mitted on the Pedro and the Miguel
Jover, Cadet Jones alleged,
Rear Admiral Sampson in transmitting
the letter of Cadet Jones to Secretary
Long said that the offenses alleged were
in violation of law and common decency
and he suggested that owing to the
large Cuban and negro population of
Key West, and the consequent prejudice
against Spain, it might be wise to send
future prizes north, to Savannah or
Port Royal
Secretary Long transmitted the corre.
spondence to Attorney General Griggs,
who sent it to District Attorney Strip

disposing of them seriatipl. Some charges
he declared to be false, according to his

STRIPPING met by quoting the law. The
deputies, he said, were laboring men of
fair intelligence. Mr.. Stripling's letter
dld not mention Rear Admiral Sampson,
who has had no part in the controversy
except to forward the correspondence to
Secretary Long. On receipt of the dis
Sriot attorneys letter General Griggs
handed it to Secretary Long, who made
bitter reply defending Admiral Sampson,

went clear through the building. which
was wrecked.
During the firing the auxiliary gun
boat Leyden came up, and also fired a
couple OF shots. 1t is not known whether
any Spanish were killed. but they
probably fled at the first shot. The block
house made no reply. This action on
the part OF the Uncas and Leyden is in

may come across. The crews enjoy this
target practice very much.

ALL DISABILITIES REMOVED.

A Reunited Country at Last Becomes a
Reality.
Washington, June 1.-Today's session
of the House was given to the consider
alton and passage of bill to. remove
all political disabilities incurred by the
third section of the 18th amendment to
the constitution. The debate gave rise to
notable speeches from Mr.. Grosyenor,
Republican of Ohio, and Mr.. Settle,
Democrat of Kentucky, upon the obliter-
alton of all sectional feeling and the real.
ity at last of reunited country. In
cidental to the debate several members
reviewed the CONCLUSION that member of
Congress could not hold simultaneously
a military and civic office. The debate
was brought on by reference to Gen.
Joe Wheeler, now serving as a major
general, and until recently member of
the House. The statement that some
states We're unable to respond to the de-
mands for volunteers called forth expla-
nations and an alleged interview with
Mr.. Oyerstreet, Republican of Indiana,
upon the subject, rejecting upon the
loyalty of certain states, was condemned
by several members, but the discussion
was declared out of order. 4a
The passage Of the bill considered today
by the House will affect but few parties,
since the general acts passed in President
GRANTS administration and many special
relief bills. have removed all disabilities
with the exception of those in few
hundred cases.
Mr.. Jenkins, Republican of Wisconsin,
secured consideration of the Senate bill
removing all political disabilities incurred
by the third section of the l4th amend
ment to the constitution. The bill pre-
cipitated an unexpected debate which
turned upon the constitutional right of
Gen. Joe Wheeler who, without resigning
from the House, has assumed and now
holds the office of major-general in the
volunteer army.
Mr.. Lacey, Republican of Iowa, advo-
eating the bill mad referred to the present
as an opportune time for passing the
bill and incidentally spoke of Gen. Wheel
or as being absent Oh leave, an ex-Con-
federate Soldier serving in the countrv,s
army. an ante bellum West Pointer. whose
disabilities had been removed by an ACT
several years since.

the floor in opposition to the bin. He
declared with considerable feeling that

office at the same time and he ob1eotefi To
