Marla Ieresa. Raised.

WASHINGTON, d. C.. September 2j.-
Acting Secretary Allen has received
cablegram from Capt Goodrich. Of the
Newark. senior officer Of the station at
Guantanamo. confirming the press re
ports Of the raising Of the Spanish flag
ship Maria Teresa last Saturday. The
work Of wrecking this ship was directly
in change of Constructor HUDSON. Now
that the Teresa mas been raised he has
instructed 70 resume work on the Colon
and begin operations toward wrecking
the Mercedes. which lies within the
mouth Of Santiago harbOr, close to the
Merrimac, in smooth water and well
situated for successful wrecking. The
Teresa will be brought north, probably
10 Norfolk as soon as she is in condition
TO undertake the voyage. The wreck
ers, who have so successfully accomp
lished their work. have earned large
sum of money under the salvage laws.
the exact amount of which will pro-
badly be determined by the admiralty
court. 1t is the present purpose Of the
department TO place the Teresa in com
mission as United States naval vessel
and following the English custom her
name will likely remain unchanged TO
carry into the future the glory of the
American victory.

Bayard Dead.

DEDHAM, Mass. Sept. 29.-Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard died at half past
0 clock this afternoon at the home of
his son in law. He has been slowly
dying for the past several weeks. and
though the utmost effort was made to
save his life it was without avail. His
disease was pronounced srterial
sclorotis by the physicians. Consulta-
tionS of the most able physicians have
been held, but in spite of their sttsn-
tions the patient continued to sink
rapidly.
This morning Mr.. Bayard was seized
with choking spells and soon afterward
died. His last days had been ones of
intense suffering, but the careful at
tention of his daughter, at whose
home he was, made his end brighter
than it would otherwise have been.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The president idea of an investiga
ton by commission TO be appointed
by himself may be all right as far as it
goes, but manifestly it does not 60 far
enough. 1t is the evident purpose OF
the chief executive to have the investi
CATION proceed on the idea that all the
fault lies at the doors of the lesser of
fcers Of the army and the under of
ficials of the war department. The
people want an investigation which will
include eyerybody-the executive head
Of the war department, and even the
president himself, if it should be found
that his acts have contributed to the
state Of affairs that has aroused the in
dignation Of the nation.
