TRIED TO SINK THE TERESA
STATEMENT OF A MERCHANT
VESSELS OFFICER.
Says the Crew of the Cruiser Appar-
emily Intended to Have Her Sink
Present Position.

New York. Nov. 22-The steamer
Antilla is at present in this port. Her
second officer, Edward Weber, said to-
day that when the steamer was at Cat
island the cruiser Maria Teresa was
lying in about fifteen feet of water and
the surf was breaking over her. She
was lying easy and not on the rocks,
but with her nose in the sand.
Had the surf not been so high, be-
lieve that we could have pulled her
off," said Mr.. Weber. Il questioned
the natives and learned from them that
the Maria Teresa first appeared in the
offing about 8 o'clock on the morning
the Thursday after she was abandoned.
She rode in gracefully, but had she
been brought in under slIilful guidance
she could not have gone ashore at a
better place. She went on the shore at a
II o'clock the same morning in which
she was sighted
TT is my opinion, as we'll as the
opinion of the others on Cat island that
for some reason an attempt was made
by those on the Maria Teresa to have
her sink She had drifted far in the
storm.
..All the square port holes above the
water line were left open, but in spite
of this there was only three feet of
water in her when she came ashore.
1 believe that the crew when they left
her were anxious that it might be the
last of her She is lying at present
with a very slight list to port. As her
stern is pointing to the breakers, the
waves as they break near the stern run
alongside, making little vibration. The
pumps were all right and the working
parts are above water. I believe that
the vessel will not go to pieces, but
will remain where she is for years. Her
military nasts have gone by the board
and are lying on each side of her. -
Norfolk, Va, Nov 22.-The court of
inquiry appointed by the secretary of
the navy to ascertain why the Spanish
cruiser Maria Teresa was abandoned
and to fix the responsibility, began it's
labors today. Several of the crew of
tugs of the Merritt Wrecking company
and the Leonidas were heard, but mem
bers of the court would not give out
anything for publication.

later than Sharkey. There was a wild
cheer as he was seeking his way to the
ring-side. When he reached the steps
leading UP to the ring, Corbett stopped
fer moment to shake hands with
some friends Then he jumped through
the ropes and rested his arms on them
for a few minutes, during Which time

who stood in front OF Sharkey.
Corbett was enveloped .insa dark olive

parted in the middle and carefully
combed and brushed. His seconds were

McVey and John Gonsidine.- John Con-
sidine Of Detroit acted as his time

Both men had their choice of the sets
of gloves. Corbett selected his pair,
which were made for him in California.
They were a pair Of typical fighting
gloves, being. Just shaped to the
clinched fist, whereas Sharkey's We're
the long. tapering gloves usually
donned by boxers. They were nearly
an inch and q half longer than his OPP
ponents' which would give him an OPP
portunity of forcing the hair in the
gloves away. from the knuckles. The
gloves were of the regulation weight
OF i've ounces, as provided by the Hor-

When the. men were introduced,
Sharl1ey's name was mentioned first,
and there were prolonged cheers, to
which Sharkey bowed repeatedly. Cor

ovation, the cheering lasting more than
minute. Corbett wore white trunks
and red, white and green sash, which
his seconds took off as soon as he stood
erect. Sharkey wore green splits, held
by q belted American flag
There was a long confab between the
principals, the seconds and the referee,
after which the men retired to their
corners. After having agreed not to
hit in clinches, or in the breakaways,
and that they would step back when
ordered to break, everything was in
order for the bout to begin.

The moment McNey climbed through
the ropes, Inspector Mclaughlin
grabbed hold of him, while the crowd
frantically yelled Foul, foul" "Cerbett
loses Look at his second in the
ring"
Referee Kelly seemed to pay no at
tention to the matter. but kept looking
at the fighters, who continued their ag-
gressive work. McVey tried to pull
away from the inspector, while the
spectators kept yelling at the referee,
who finally separated the fighters and
ordered them to their corners. Corbett
seemed not to understand why the ref
cree should interfere. and protested,
but Kelly was objurate and stopped it.
Meanwhile the spectators stood Cd
and yelled that bets should be declared
off, as they believed McVey committed
a breach of ring rules premeditatedly.
1t looked for a while as if riot would
ensue. but as soon as the referee de-
clared Sharkey the winner on the tech
nicality, he announced all bets off, as
McVey's action was undoubtedly pre-
arranged. As soon as this announce
ment was made the spectators resumed
their seats and awaited the departure
of the men from the ring.

a thunderbolt from q clear sky, leaving

MONSTER ICE BREAKER.
Russia's Attempt to Keep the Bal
tic Open All Winter.

Washington, Nov. 22.-There has just
been launched in England at the yards
OF Armstrong. Whitworth & Co., what is
without a doubt the largest ice breaking
steamer in the world, for its displacement
is no less than 5000 tons. This was built
for the Russian government, which is
going to make an effort on a large scale
to keep the Baltic open all winter. Be
sides this vast ice crusher, the ice break
ers of the Canadian lakes, which are able
to crush through four feet of ice, are
merely infants The Russian boat is
provided with a forward propeller, which
is calculated to vastly assist in the
crushing process. by disturbing the water
under the ice and deprfving it of support.
The stern of the ice breaker is cut into
a recess. into which the stern of another
vessel can be securely dashed and thus
attain the utmost protection from her
powerful consort. Besides conveying the
merchant ships, the ice breaker is capa-
BILE herself of carrying a heavy cargo.
1t is confidently expected that through
her agency the principal trade which de-
pend on Baltic ports will be kept open in
winter and thus provide continuous en-
ployment to an enormous section of the
community.
