Mrs. James Davies and her three
children, of 81 Snyder avenue. are
awaiting the coming of husband and
father who has either deserted them
or has met with foul play. Today, Mrs

MAY SAVE CERVERA's SHIP.
The Cristobal Colon Also Likely to
Be Added to Our Navy.

Off Santiago, July Il, via Guantana-
mo.-Captain Cook of the Brooklyn is
authority for the statement that the
former Spanish flagship, the Infanta
Maria Teresa. had foated off the reef
on which she stranded and that her
heavy armament is practically unin-
jured. The captain says also that the
cruiser is likely to be saved and form
an addition to the United States navy,
a trophy of the glorious July 3, 1885,
The Cristobal Colon may also be
saved, though much depends on the
weather, which is very uncertain at
this time of the year A heavy storm
might drive the vessel so high on the
coral reef that it would be impossible
to float her.
Many naval men are outspoken in
their criticism of the treatment of the
Colon Immediately after her surrender.
They believe the ship could have been
saved when she slipped back from the
reef into deep water had divers, car
penters and maChinsts with a COM
petent prize crew been sent on board
OF her.
The crew of the Brooklyn regarded
the Vizcaya as their particular enemy,
since the time when they were both
present at queen victoria JuDllee,
when there was much comment abroad
on what good fight might be expected
between the two ships if they ever met.
OF the four big shrs which were in
Admiral Cervera's fleet only two are
doomed to destruction. They are the
Vizcaya and the Almirante Oquendo.
and those, as coincidence, were the
two cruisers which went into Havana

cruisers of Spain would do with the

They Are Brothers-in-Law and

Because the Latter Was Abusing
His Family-Funeral of Mrs. Mar

on Pittston Avenue-Adam Legh's
Birthday Celebrated.

Reese Powell and James Collins, of
stone avenue, are brothers-in-law who
90 not entertain the very b5s, opinion
OF one another. as was evidenced in
Alderman Lentes' court last night.
Powell was arraigned on the charge
of assault and battery prefer, d by
collins. AT the hearing witnesses were
heard who stated that Collins was
the aggressor. Powell was discha. ID
and he Immediately gave informa on
Tor Collins arrest, charging him with
assault and battery. A hearing was
asked and the testimony given by
Powell, corroborated by his wife,
mother and a sister, places Collins in
a most unenviable light.
Powell stated that his sister is mar
ried to Collins, and last Thursday a
BABY boy was born to them. The
rather got intoxicated and returning
home that night broke furniture and
dishes, throwing the broken pieces at
his wife and new babe. He further al
leges that the pitiful pleadings of the
unfortunate wife and her mother were
of no avail. The police were sent for
but Collins evaded arrest
Powell heard of the affair and post
haste he went to the Collins home. He
met his brother-in-law and remon-
straed with him for his brutal con-
duct. Angry words ensued, and Col
Inns hit him and he defended himself.
Collins asked that before the matter
was finished in the alderman's office
the testimony of his wife be taken. He
was held in $500 bail for a further
hearing Saturday night.

department were busy studying the
map of Porto Rico with view among
other things of determining the most

army and the supplies. They would
! not say, however, which one had been
| selected. 1t was suggested in some
| quarters that the army might land on
| the southern coast near the city of
| Ponce, to the southwest of San Juan.

residence of the military commander of

however, a main road. irregular and
circuitous, connecting Ponce and San
Juan. The northern coast Of the ISL
and extends in an almost straight line
from east to west and is high and
rugged. The only harbors it has are
the following:
san Juan surrounded by mangrove
swamps and protected by the Cabras
and the Cabritas islands and some
very DANGEROUS banks. the anchOring
ground of Arecibo somewhat unpro-
tected and which has been mentioned
as a possible landing place; and the
coves of Cangrejos and Condado. Dur
ing the present season the ports of this
coast are safe and commodious un-
less visited by hurricanes.

has been given that the work be COM
pleted this week, or else that the coll
liers go without the batteries. The
same view is taken as to the condition
of the ships. officers would like to
have the ships bottoms scraped and
considerable overtauling done. But
that means delay and the disposition
here is to have the cleaning and re-
pairing done as well as possible by the
men on the ships so that everything
is to be in readiness by the end of the
week
Evidences of preparation for the
Porto Rico expedition are apparent
everywhere in the war department. In
order that there may be no delay in
supplying subsistence store Commissary
General Egan is having prepared ad-
vertisements inviting proposals from
the large beef-dessing concerns for
supplying quantities of that article of
diet at a certain place In the island,
subject to the order of the general
commanding. The contract is to be
a big one, as it is the policy of the
department to keep the army as well
supplied as practicable.
