TORN BY SPANISH SHELL
SEAMAN ANDERSON KILLED ON THE
CRUISER BROOKLYN.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo Bay,
July 2S, noon.-The body of Karl ]. Ander-
son, seaman, of the United States cruiser
Brooklyn, was buried ashore here this
morning Anderson was killed by the ac-
cidental discharge of Spanish one-pound
shell, struggled from one of the destroyed
Spanish cruisers against the orders of Cap
tain Cook. The shell exploded on Tuesday,
while Anderson was hammering in an effort
to separate the cartridge and shell. Several
of the Brooklyri's men were around at the
time, but all escaped the flying fragments
except Anderson. A number of the pieces
entered his abdomen. Drs. Fitzsimmons,
Gravitt and Spear were devotion itself, and
performed a delicate operation, but Ander-
son succumbed yesterday to his wounds.
The marines paid the last honors. The mis-
fortune had a special accent of pathos be-
cause yesterday, the day of Anderson
death, was his twenty-fourth birthday.

Prairie left Guantanamo bay last night.

BISMARCK ABLE TO JOKE.
Tells Athletes He Has Been Standing
ON His Head for Week.

HAMBURG, July Is. - Prince Bismarck
has somewhat improved since yesterday
evening. His condition might be described
as fairly good. But for violent pains in his
foot and face he would have passed a good
night. AS it was, he slept fairly well. The
Princes diet yesterday included ham,
caviar, eggs, beer and champagne. The
prince smoked his pipe and read the news
papers in bed to-day
The Hamburger Nachrichten says: Prince
Bismarcks condition still gives employ
ment to his physicians, but there is no
ground for anxiety. The pain from which
be has been suffering continues, but the
last two nights have been comparatively
good. His appetite begins to increase and
his spirits are good When told yesterday
that foreign athletes who had taken part
in the funniest had called at the castle to
pay their respects he said: Tell them L
myself have been standing on my head for
a week. !"
The dispatches to the morning papers
agree that Prince Bismarck is steadily i'm
proving. The Lokal Anzeiger says the
swelling in the leg is decreasing. The foot
is still bandaged and Prince Bismarck is not
able to wear boot, but it is hoped he will
soon be able to leave his bed.
LONDON, July 2S-The Berlin corre-

the optimistic reports, it seems that Prince
Bismarck's condition is critical. Baron Won

WASHINGTON, July 28.-The demand of
Italy upon Colombia for the settlement of
the Cerruti claim has not yet been complied
with and, although some progress has been
made towards adjustment, there is still
a possibility that the case may assume a
grave aspect through action by the Italian
fleet sent to demand a settlement. Some
days ago Colombia made an offer to settle
on the Italian fleet leaving Colombian
waters, thus relieving the republic from the
humiliation of acting under pressure. But it
is understood that the Italian government
formed of the proposed arrival of the
squadron at Cartagena, and therefore had
time for the execution of the award and
thus to eliminate every appearance of coer-
cion. 1t appears, however that the instruc-
tons to the Italian admiral gave him dis
erection as to the mode OF proceeding, and
allowed him to give due courtesy to Colom-
bia should time be asked For that reason,
it is understood, the admiral fixed a period
of twenty days within which the claim
should be paid.

that Colonel Culver, of the Fifth Illinois

to keep IL from going to the front 1t is

circumstances over which he had no con-
troll. After the Fifth Illinois had been or
