The Mohegan, it is now said has been
an Inflated vessel from the start. 1t is
added that she was only bought by the
Transport Company when their own

bought direct from the Hull Ship Yard.
She never ran for the Furness line. and
only made one voyage out and home.

ESCAPE OF THE PEMBERTONS.
Falmouth, October u. From the
best evidence obtainable at st. Keverine,
it appears that the Mohegan fOundered
five minutes after she struck the rocks.
She was going at full speed, struck twice,
stopped and rapidly settled into the wa

officers of the steamer went down with
her, it has been impossible thus far to
ascertain how she got out of her course,
as Falmouth light and the coast were
visible.

NO TRUTH IN THE REPORT.

said to-day:
There is no truth in the report that
the Mohegan's boilers were defective,
and that her condition was not satisfac-
tory.
THE vessel was in first-class condition.
During her first trip from this side she
took % days, and for that reason it
was reported that she was overdue
This was not SO. The ship was going
only at half speed, and we knew that she
would not arrive on the other side be
fore she did. On her arrival she was
completely overhauled. As it was deem
cd advisable to give her trial before
she sailed again. her date of sailing was
put forward and the Manitou sailed in
her place. October 9th.
After the trial trip we received q
cable from the ships engineer and Off

caused by any defect in her machinery

Colonel Roosevelt. they say, is

HIS majesty the Sultan OF
Turkey needs to be brought
to time, and it might be a good
thing to give some of our
warships a little more exercise
in that direction if the gentle
man continues to refuse the
payment of those American
claims. Turkey has SO long
enjoyed immunity from aggres-
sion or interference on the
part of any European powers
-on account of the jealous
eye each of them keeps upon
all of the others movements
in the region of the Mediter-
ranean-that she imagines no
power will be allowed to use
force towards her. 1t is high
time indeed that this insolent
cruel and treacherous. be
taught to respect the rights of
others. Very probably all that
would be necessary to collect
the American claims would be
the appearance of a couple of
eur warships off the Turkish
coast, as any such evidence of
serious intentions on our part
would doubtless bring to bear
upon the sultan sufficient pres
sure from the European pow
ers to insure speedy payment
of the sum which is justly due.

COURTESIES TO
ROUGH RIDERS

An officer of Colonel Roose-
velt's rough rider invited q
dozen of his genuine cowboys
In the regiment to 60 toa Broad
way lheater with him last
week. None of the soldiers
had any other clothes to wear
for the evening than his soiled
uniform, and it is probable
that few of them had ever been
in a New York theater before.
When the officer appeared at
the box Office and asked for
seats for his men, the ticket
seller caught a sight of the
soiled uniforms and said:
II can't sell you a seat be,
cause the house is full, bat you
are we'll come to take your men
in, and if they can find any
vacant seats let them take
them"
The cavaIrYmen field in and
stood up in the back Of the
.theater for a few minutes.
Then a man who had an or
.chestra chair got up. and, walk
ing back to the soldiers, took
one of them by the arm and
led him to his seat. Other
man in the audience followed
his example, and in a few min
,utes every rough rider was not
only seated, bat engaged in
conversation with the people
around him. Those who had
seats near the soldiers asked
them all sorts of questions.
Down near the front of the
house was a rough rider in his
soiled uniform, seated between
two women who had never seen
him before, but were evidently
delighted at the opportunity of
making bis acquaintance Their
escort had given up his seat
to,the soldier, and they evident
ly felt they were entitled to
talk to- him. It is only fair to
the cowboys to- say that the
novelty of the surroundings
did not appear to embarrass
them in sheIeast and thsirenjoy
ment of the evening was mark
