Washington. Nov. 10.-Ihe Navy De
partment late to-day received the fol-
lowing:
Nassau, y. p, November II.
Secretary of the Navy, Washington:
ARRIVED here on Potomac. Vulcan mt
scene of wreck. On arrival too charge of
Teresa, hoisted flag. After examination
of stranded ship and situation and care
full consideration of instructions from
the Department, approaching great in
terest taken by Nation and Government
in fate of Teresa, regret exceedingly
to express the opinion that it is hopeless
to expect to rescue the ship. Craven,
Blow, Hobsone Crittenden confirm my
opinion. Wreck is stranded in from IS
to II feet, with head. to northward.
With exception of few feet astern and
forward, where cutaway, ship rests on
rocky reef, covered with coral sand, in
terspersed with boulders, half mile South
of Bird Point Line of reef extends out
side of wreck, both to northwest and
southwark, ship having been driven into
slight indentation IN reef. Surf from
astern and outside of ship continues be-
tween ship and shore, then runs out
slightly to a point forward of and out
side ship again to northward. Small
passage thus left for small boats to pass
under stern to lee side. In fairly good
weather it would be possible, | think,
for small tug drawing 10 feet, in hands
of very skillful seamcn to pass close to
stern of Teresa, in smooth sea, to make
fast to lee side, for purpose of supplying
power for wrecking pumps. If, however,
such vessel were caught inside Teresa
by storm, the probabilities are that she
would be swamped by seas or thrown
on the reef.

THE TERESA TELEsCOPED.

Can best describe condition of the ship
generally by stating that she is already
telescoped and my views by expressing
conviction that as the rivets are sheared
by the constant working of the ship, the
telescope process must continue. In CON
sidering practcability of rescuing the Te-
resa, the fact must be considered that the
lies upon coral reef, with but this layer
of sand, on windward side of an island
constantly exposed to seas due to trade
winds and to influence of many storms
developing to eastward or southwark
Character of the bottom makes anchor
age off eastern coast of island danger
Gus. Geographical position permits force
of more or less magnitude to be con-
stantly disintegrating ship. During
gales or with very heavy seas wreck
would not be tenable for working parties,
which would be obliged to leave the ship
before communication should be cut off,
with the ship anchored or with the shore
inside. Board of officers also examined
and reported yesterday upon question of
rescuing Teresa. This board confirms
my report Should Department deter
mine to attempt to float stranded ship,
would recommend that the expedition be
based on Cat Island, not from ships out
side reef, and should be very pleased to
command any organization prepared to
work on wreck. In addition to turret
guns there are four siX-inch guns on
Teresa, taken from one Of the wrecked
ships and remounted in Guantanamo.
Awaiting Departments further orders.

Seattle is giving proof OF the impetus OF
the tremendous wave OF travel which has
passed through 1t to the Klondike region
since the first gold find was noised abroad.
It has been pointed out that vigorous
young men with aspirations would do we'll
20 settle in Seattle instead OF continuing
the journey to the Northwest. AT Seattle
Is left the money spent by Eastern gold
hunters in provisioning and preparing
themselves for the journey into Alaska.
Returning to civilization, the lucky ones
there begin to demonstrate that men who
do not deserve wealth cannot long re-
tain II.
Figures are at hand now indicating the
results Of this steady influx OF money.
Bank clearings in Seattle last week
showed an increase of oS6.5 per cent. over
the corresponding week last year. These
figures. wonderful as they are. probably
do not give one an adequate conception Of
the leaps and bounds made in business and
trade circles. Evidently Seattle is in the
midst Of wave of very pronounced pros
perity, to which the rest OF the nation and
even the uttermost corners OF the earth
are contributing.
We can see nowhere on the globe a re-
gion affording young men greater oppor-
tunities than this favored section Of the
Northwest. Go West. young man. and
settle down. Then send delegations to
congress and secure for the Pacific coast
the legislation which II needs to make II
tho richest strip of land on the globe.

Dickens picture OF Col. Diver. OF the New
York Daily stabber. its sarcasm was not
so severe a reflection on American jour
naiistic morals as the real character OF
Col. Divers greatest living prototype. Col.
Bladder. OF the Slime.
Dickens. 1t will be remembered. said OF
Col. Diver that the captain OF a New York
packet ship was entertaining him. well
knowing that II he failed to conciliato the
editor. that potentate would denounce him
and his ship IN LARGE CAPITALS before
he was a day older. and would probably
assault the memory OF his mother also,
who had not been dead more than twenty
years.
When Dickens thus stigmatized Ameri-
can Journalism Just half . century ago.
he could not have had Col. Bladder Of
the Slime in mind. though the colonel is.
perhaps. old enough to have sat for the
English novelist's portrait.

form OF his attack IS demand that con-
scripts shall ba taken from among quiet
citizens. that they shall go about armed

caught shalt be hanged to the nearest
telephone pole.
The only sensible feature OF this sug-
gestlon Is in the choice OF scaffold-the
