CAPTAINS WIFE DROWNED.
Swept Overheard in n Collision Be
tween the BalmOral and GIemrfcht

tween the BalmOral and GIenrfcht
San Francisco Cal, Oct. 2I.-The British
ship BalmOral reached port Tuesday night
from Swansea.
The Balmoral had hardly dropped anchor
when there came the hail. rs Mrs Davis
aboard?" There was a response in the
negative. and Il few minutes later boat
men clambered over her side and handed
Capt. Campbell a letter addressed to Mrs.
Davis. wife of Capt. Davis. master of the
vessel the Balmoral had been in collision
with.
Gable to Davis" replied the captain,
that his wife is not on this ship. and he
will know she has found q grave in the
sea off Cape Horn
The Balmoral and Glenricht clashed to-
gether during a gale before daylight on
August 20, off Cape Horn.
The Glenricht struck the Balmoral on
the starboard bow just forward of her col
lision bulkhead, crushing in nine plates
and tearing apart several deck beams and
stringers and stringer plates.
In the confusion and excitement of the
collision four sailors of the Glenricht
scrambled aboard the Balmoral and one
of the crew OF the BalmOral was seen
going aboard the Glenricht. The vessels
drifted apart and were soon lost to each
other.
The Genricht put into Rio Janeiro for
repairs few weeks later and Capt. Da-
Wis reported the disaster. In his report
he said he believed his wife has scram-
bled on board the Baimorai, believing the
Glenricht was sinking.
One of the four sailors of the Glenricht,
who came into port on the Balmoral. said
Mrs Davis fell overheard when the yes
sells struck each other.
II can understand why he believes she
is aboard the Balmoral,' he told Capt.
Campbell when the vessels struck she
came out of the cabin IN her night
clothes. Just as she came out of the
companionway the vessel gave a lurch
that threw Mrs Davis off her feet, and
she rolled to the rail.
Il went to her assistance. and Capt.
Davis, seeing me dragging her back, ap
parently thought she was all right. and
rushed forward to command his crew in
clearing the vessels.
II had not got Mrs. Davis on her feet
when big wave curled up over the stern
and sent US both rolling. When l got
over the rail, where the wave had thrown
her. l ciutched her clothing. but she
was a heavy woman and l could not hold
her. l called for help, and man came
running to assist men, but before he could
reach me Mrs. Davis slipped from my
grasp and dropped into the sea-"

LOSS TO MERCHANTS.
How the Departure of Spain's Army
From EIaynnn VIII Affect Trude

From Havana VIII Affect Trade.
Havana, Cuba, Wednesday, via Key
West. Fla, Oct. 27.-Merchants in all
parts of the island are beginning to real
ize that the withdrawal of the Spanish
troops means a great loss of trade and
paralysis for many industries For more
than three years Cuba has had within
her borders never less than 10000 SOL
diers, whose food and clothing has been
purchased here. This has meant much
to supply houses in all parts of the Isl
and many of which are already making
arrangements to go out of business.
At first it was supposed that an i'm
mense American army would be intro
duced to take the place of the Spanish
soldiers. When it was learned that the
Americans would come in comparatively
small numbers and would bring all their
supplies with them the seriousness of the
situation was realized for the first time
Advance orders for provisions and sup
plies have fallen off S3O00, eco in the last
month, according to Havana brokers.
On the other hand. all agricultural in
dustries are recovering with unexpected
rapidity. In most of the provinces an al
most average crop of sugar will he
ground next spring. The winter grinding
must necessarily be light on account Of
the lack of machinery, well as the i'm
possibility of getting ground for cultya-
ton.
Since October l orders have gone from
Havana to Boston for 81. 501O O0l worth cf
sugar grinding machinery. Several other
orders now pending.

THE WISCONSIN'S ARMOR
Interesting Tests at the Naval
Proving Station.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Plates Treated by Harvey Process
Inch Gun, But officials Think the
krupp ArmOr Is Superior and Rec
Ommeud It's Use.

The first of an important series of ar
NOR tests was held at the naval proving
station yesterday when a 15-inch plate
representing a large group of armor for
the battleship Wisconsin, stood success
fully the terrific shock from two projec-
tiles fired from a 1o-inch rifle with high
service velocities. Deliveries of armor
for this ship and her sister vessels-the
Alabama, at Cramps, and the Illinois. at
Newport News-was not required under
the contracts made in the summer until
January l next, and the fact that the
firms are capable of turning out plates
ahead of the required time is most graft
flying to the ordnance bureau.
The plate tested represented over 100
tons of barbette armor aand the showing
made proved that a 10-inch gun cannot
penetrate 10 inches of armor, except when
the highest velocitieS employed are ap-
piled. The plate stood two shots we'll and
at the end of the trial presented but one
crack of a trivial character and by no
means extending through the armor. The
first shot was with velocity of 1 15l3 feet
per second, armor-piercing shell, and the
effect was to break up the head of the
projectile badly and secure a penetra-
ton of but seven inches. No radial
cracking of the plate resulted.
On the second shot the velocity was In
creased to 1903 feet per second, the same
caliber gun used, and the result was TO
break the shell into three pieces. the nose
getting through the armor and into the
stout oaken backing behind. A slight
crack was created. but this was expected,
as the point of impact was but SO inches
from the side of the plate. The results
obtained were entirely satisfactory to the
experts and insures the acceptance of the
entire group. Next week another plate,
representing a second group, will be test
ed.
While the trial yesterday amply demon

strated the resisting qualities of armor
treated with the Harvey process. the
ordnance officials are confident that the
new Krupp treatment is superior, prob
ably 20 per cent better, and that in pro-
viding armor for the new vessels and
monitors under this years program the
krupp process should be used. Capt
O'Neil believes that the krupp armor is
so much better tnan that OF the Harvey
variety that even though it is more ex-
pensive the Government should protect
its new vessels with it.

wEDs A CONVICT.
Ex-D1nker Charles w. spa1ding Mar
ried to His Former Stcnogra-
pher, Miss Louise Erwin.

Miss Louise Erwin, who figured in
events which involved the financial
downfall and imprisonment of Charles
w. Spalding, who was president of the
Globe savings bank, at Chicago, was
married to Spalding the other day by
Justice of the peace in lawyers
Office In the Unity building. Spalding,
who was brought here from Joliet
prison recently TO testify in pending
bank cases, spent the morning in court
and left about noon with his guard
and Jailer Whitman. Miss Ervin's
parents also witnessed the ceremony.
Since Spalding has been at the Jail
again he has had the use of desk in
the cage" and Miss Erwin has been
helping him with his correspondence,
which has been large. While Spalding
was at the Jail before being sent to
Joliet she kept in the background,
though she was evidently the source OF
many attentions and delicacies which
he received.
Miss Erwin was a stenographer for
Spalding ten years ago. He sent her
away for further education, and soon
after she returned she left the bank,
but lived in residence which Spald-
ing gave her; held property which he
transferred to her, and had safety
deposit box to which she went when
she needed funds and which was re-
plenished continually. 1t is supposed
that troubles which resulted in the
first Mrs. Spalding's successful appli-
cation for divorce originated in such
proceedings.
The young woman has remained 10y
al to Spalding in his troubles, and
turned over property in the hope of
keeping him out of prison. When this
proved of no avail, she tried, but in
vain, to get the property back.
In acknowledging his marriage to
Miss Erwin, Spalding said only: "I
trust 1 will be treated fairly, as I
think have acted honorably."
