The Drumelzier Sails.

Sunday morning the steamship Drumel
zier, 1888 tons, H. Nicholson, master.
hoisted anchor and steamed out Of Sabine
Pass harbor for Liverpool, with one of the
largest cargoes of general merchandise ever
shipped from a Texas port, and though
loaded to its full capacity the big steamer
passed over the one time bar at the har-
Dor entrance as easily as If an impediment
to navigation had never existed at that
point.
Sailing Of the Drumelzier is of more than
ordinary Importance to the port of Sabine
Pass. 1t not only demonstrates to the
world that the water entrance to that
port is of sufficient depth to float the big
ocean freight carriers. but it marks
new era in the history Of the pass in that
1t is now established as one of the leading
If not the best port on the Mexican Gulf
coast.
The cargo for the Drumelzier was fur
nished exclusively by the Kansas City.
Pittsburg & Gulf railroad. and the vessel
was loaded by lighters plying between what
is known as the railroad company's export
pier two miles below Port Arthur and the
foot of Broadway street. Sabine Pass. the
DrumelZier being berthed at the latter
place. In detail the cargo. together with

Sabine people a desire to clear the pub

Port Arthur is not port, and that the

of all vessels from Port Arthur is false.
The Sabine Pass people want it distinctly

SHE SELECTS
WAR NURSES
.--~e -e-- '-'-
DIR. MCGEE the Dorothea Dix
of Our War.
Nurses Must Be Between Thirty and
Fifty Years Odd and Have One
Years Experience.

Some weeks ago Surg. Gems. Van
Reypen, of the Navy. and Sternberg. of
the Army. intrusted the selection of
nurses to a volunteer committee of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
consisting of Dr. Anita Newcomb Nc
Gee. Miss Mary Desha, a clerk in the
Pension Office. and Mrs. Nash. the wife
ington. These ladies have since been
sitting as a board of examiners and
have investigated the physical and pro-
fessional qualifications of about 1.500
women from all parts of the country
who have rendered their services. The
rules are very strict. They require that
nurses must be between thirty and fifty
years of age. in perfect physical con-
dition, without family ties. and an ex-
perience Of not less than one year in
some hospital or as an attendant to
some regular practitioner of medicine.
Those who have diplomas from medical
institutions or schools for the training
of nurses stand the best chance of ap-
pointment. Up to this time only about
fifty have been selected, and 1t Is not
believed that any more will be neces-
sary at present They have been sent
to the naval hospital at Key West and
the Army headquarters at Tampa.
During the war of the rebellion Dor
othea Dix was the generalissimo of the
nurses at the headquarters of the
Army, and DR.. MCGEE has been study
ing her experience with great interest.
Only one of the rules which Miss Dix
strictly enforced has been rejected by
DR.. MCGEE, and that will no doubt be
a qualification to many sick soldiers.
men from the hospitals. An ugly face
to her was a strong recommendation.
Mrs. MCGEE, being an uncommonly
pretty women herself, indignantly re-
pudiates the idea that pretty faces are
out of the place amid scenes of suffer-
ing. Moreover, she takes the ground that
women who have been mothers and
raised boys are more likely to be useful
than old maids. Miss Dix thought DIFF
ferently She had a different point of
view. She was never married. while
DR.. MCGEE was a wife at eighteen and
q mother at nineteen years of age. She
is the daughter of Prof Simon New
comb. the famous astronomer. and the
wife Of Prof. w McGee, who is
equally famous as an ethnolOgist She
is q graduate of a medical college and

The British Ship Mistletoe Stove by
the Ice, Set on Fire and
Abandoned

PHILADELPHIA, March 2-The Brit
ish steamer Kensington, Captain Langwell,
London for Philadelphia, arrived here to-
day with the crew of the British brig Mis-
tletoe on board. The crew consists of the
captain and seven men. Their names are:
Captain r. d. Cave, First Mate George
Caysch, John Cook, Charles Fleming, Jo-
seph Butt, Robert Randall, r. Churchill
and Ernest Cave, son of the captain.
The Mistletoe left st. Johns, N. F., Feb
ruary 14th for Bahia, Brazil, with q cargo
of Goldfish.
When two days out the vessel encoun-
tered a stiff northeast gale and ran into
a large ice foe. She was buffeted about for
five days by the wind and waves, and on
the sixth day the ice stove hole in her
bow. The pumps were brought into use,
but on the ninth day she was making
water at the rate of six inches an hour.
1t was then decided to head her for the
course of the transatlantic steamers in the
hope of being picked up.
Every night rockets were sent up in the
hope of attracting the attention of pass
ing vessel. Finally on the 26th of February
the steamer Kensington was sighted. Sig
nails were displayed and the Kensington
stood by while the crew of the Mistletoe
lowered boat and rowed to the Kensing-
ton.

from the cold, but with medical attention

PROCLAMATION SIGNED
CREATING A NEW CALIFORNIA
RESERVATION
The Pine Mountain and Zaca Lake
Forest Reservation Now Fact
Accomplished
Special to The Herald


WASHINGTON, March 2-President
Mckinley this morning signed procla-
nation creating the Pine mountain and
Zaca lake forest reservation. This work
has been pushed along with gratifying
rapdity by Commissioner Of Public Lands
Hermann, who was fully alive to the ne
cessity of the creation Of the reserve and
sending forth of notice to that effect before
the sheep herds had been moved into the
mountains, which will be in order within
a few weeks now. The principal reason
for closing the vast area around Pine
mountain was the conservation of the
water supply, and this was impossible
while the Portuguese herders continued to
llburn off the underbrush each fall as soon
as they brought out their sheep. The res
ervation touches five counties, while the
principal portions are in Ventura and
Santa Barbara. In the southeast Los An
geles furnishes a small section to the res
ervation, and a section of Kern is in
cluded further north, while San Luis
Obispo contributed a small part in the
northwest. Settlers within the limits OF
this reserve will be allowed to select
lands in lieu of, their present holdings, to
retain their homesteads, and will be fully
protected In their rights.

SHERIFF MARTINS DEFENSE
FOR KILLING THE STRIKERS AT
LATIMER
Witnesses Testify That the Miners
in Line Were Armed With Re-
volvers and Stones

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 2.-When
court opened this morning for the con-
tinuation of the trial Of Sheriff Martin and
his deputies for the shooting of the strik-
ers at Latimer, Sheriff Martins cross
examination was resumed by counsel for
the prosecution. The main point estab-
lished was that the witness denied making
the remark, after the shooting, that he had
merely "taken hand in the matter as
plain James Martin and not as the sheriff
of Luzerne county"
The defense endeavored to have the
sheriff testify that he was unable to sup
press the riot and disorder that existed
In the Hazelton region and that the civil
authorities were unable to cope with it
and had telcaraphed to the governor of
Pennsylvania for aid and that consequent
ly the governor ordered out the state
militia on the night of September 10th.
The commonwealth objected to this line
of testimony and Judge Woodward sus-
tained the objection.
Samuel Price, contractor and commits
sion merchant of Hazelton, testified that
he was Sheriff Martins chief deputy at the
time of the shooting. He told of the sheriff
giving all the deputies explicit orders to
keep cool, protect all property and main
tain the peace. He also told them they
were IOl W SllOOl uHlcSS Luz sell
Witness corroborated Martins testi-
mony from the time the deputies went on
duty until they formed in line at Latimer
and described the shooting in detail. He
said that he discovered by going among
them and feeling about their clothing that
they were armed with stones and revol-
vers He was put through rigid cross
examination but he could not be made to
contradict himself. He did not know who
gave the order to Shoot but did not fire
q shot himself. At the afternoon session
Ario Platt, one of the deputies, gave q
description of the shooting. Witness saw
the sheriff halt the strikers at Latimer
September 10th and advise them to dis
perse but was knocked down.
A. M. Hess, civil engineer of SIazelton
who commanded company A of the depu-
ties, corroborated Platt in his testimony.
He heard one shot first. like pistol shot
then came the volley.
