RO0sHvELT's rOReTHOU0HT.
Demanded That Ammunition Be Sent
to Dewey Before the Wnr.

Washington July 11.--Theodore
Roosevelt's foresight and determination
have helped this war wonderfully.
When Dewey was almost out of am
munition and 1t was not expected by
anybody at the navy department that
the Asiatic squadron would need any.
Roosevelt insisted that a large supply
should be sent out to Dewey. To get
rid Of him and accept the safe proposi-
tion. a supply Of ammunition was for
warded long before war was declared.
When the Assistant Secretary went
to Fort Monroe to see the fleet there in
duge in practice he asked for sham
battle. Ammunition ran short, and
Admiral Sicard informed the assistant
secretary that the allowance for target
practice had been about used. Mr.
Roosevelt at once sat down and ad-
dressed a letter to Admiral Sicard, di-
recting him To use ammunition with
out restriction. The naval affairs COM
mttee and the appropriations commit
tee later on asked where all the am
munition provided had gone. Fired 1t
away" was The answer.

ONLY ONE SHIP
CAN BE SAVED
board OF Survey Considers the Colon,
Viscaya and Oqnendo Hopeless
Wrecks..Whst STUDY OF the Ruins

Copyright, 1895, by the Associated Press)
OF Santiago dc Cuba, July 10. via
Kingston. Jamaica, July 11.-G1.30 a.
m )--The board of survey appointed to
examine the wrecks of the Spanish
ships and to inquire into the nature of
their injuries, reports that only one
ship can possibly be saved. She is the
Infanta Maria Teresa. the former flag
shin of Admiral Cervera.
The hull of the Cristobal Colon shows
she was only hit six times and then
only by shells of S-tnch. 5-inch and 6
FOUNDER calibre. This verifes the story
that the commander of the Cristobal
Colon surrendered because he saw he
could not get away from the Brooklyn
and Oregon and to continue the bat
tie meant a sacrifice of life. 1t was
found that the brass plugs of the large
guns and the bolts and locks of the
small arms had been thrown overheard.
vIZCAYA RIDDLED.
| The Vizcaya showed she had been
/ ridded by the Brooklyn and Oregon.
/ She had not been struck by projectles
! larger than eight inches. There was
no sign of her having been struck by
! shell of twelve or thirteen inches.
/ Her upper works were ridded by one
and six FOUNDER shells. Nearly all of
these shells exploded inside the super
| structures and must have driven the
men from the guns. This confirms the
story of Captain Eulate that the Brook
| lyn's secondary battery fire was so ter
rihlc that the men deserted their guns.
A singular fact noted on the four
ships is that all the guns were trained
forward and the story that they were
all directed ;c fire on the Brooklyn is
therefore shown to be true.
The magazines of all the ships ex-
ploded and the effect was to blow up
the decks ani not completely pulverize
the hull or turn the keel up as was true
in the case of the battleship Maine.
This is looked upon as being import

A SERIES OF CONDOLENCES.
The Most Striking Disclosed by Late
 Republican Story.

The Republican has always felt a
 justifiable pride in its descriptions of events. It aims to make it's stories sufficiently comprehensive to be clear ly understood and so that whoever reads them can think of nothing more he would like to know. VaguenesS is always avoided and a name of a any way essential. But The Repub- lican contained an article the other day concerning which there has been Some emisapprehension growing out of a curious circumstance which could not be foreseen. A name was omitted and in consequence two officials were greatly annoyed yesterday. The story was of a woman who is being supported by the county, trying to get a divorce in order that she may marry young man with whom she is in love. It was said that the wo- man was cross-eyed, but no other de scription of her was given. The ar ticle also contained statements by Edwin s. Gill, district clerk, and Lee n visors. Yesterday morning a cross eyed woman called on both gentlemen to know if she was the heroine of that story. She was followed later in the day by a procession of cross-eyed wo- men imagining that they had been un- Justly assaulted. They did not say so, but it is inferred that all these women were in love as well as cross-eyed; that they were all married and were contemplating divorce proceedings that they might try it again. Other wise they would not have suspected themselves to be the subjects of the narrative. The woman who was ac- tually meant, and who is not really cross-eyed, called and exhibited re- ceipt from her attorney for S5, for which he had represented to her that he could put her on the matrimonial market again. If she had ever been divorced before she would have known better. The throwing of that brick the other day and the consequent stir ring up of all these victims of stra- bismuS and love shows what strange COincidenceS may occur in this world.
 Speaking of coincidences, it was only a few days ago that The Republican printed a story of three local runa- ways in one day the cause in every case being a broken bridle bit. One day last week there came to the office of a surgeon in this city three persons, all suffering from the same unusual injury, a broken collar bone. Justice Johnstone has observed for years that whenever he holds an inquest, it is quickly followed by another tragedy, another inquest for instance, or maybe a wedding
