Most of the Vessels Can Be Raised
But the Government Must Take
Some Chances

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Naval Construc
tor Uobson arrived in this city today from
Philadelphia, where he took part in this
peace jubilee. This afternoon he appeared
before the Board of Naval Bureau Chief.
for the purpose OF explaining the condition
of the Spanish ships wrecked off the coast
of Santiago, and the progress and prospect
OF the efforts which are being made foi
their recovery. 1t is said that over mil
hon dollars will be required to continue the
operations and the Secretary OF the Navy
desires to know what chance there is o.
success before making the expenditure of SC
large sum. The action of the department
will be based upon the report of the Boar'

Naval Constructor itobson.
Constructor Hobson was with the board
all the afternoon and gave great deal OF
detailed information as to the condition OF
the wrecks. He was of the opinion that il
was useless to continue the wrecking com
pany any longer and that results did not
warrant the $500 per day it is receiving.
Constructor Hobson said that in his opin
ion the Colon and Nizcaya could be raised
and brought to drydocks at New York OF
Norfolk at a cost of 5000 for one and
800, 600 for the other, and possibly botl
sould be brought for 100000 each The
government would of course take the risl
of eXpending 100000 on each Of the vessels
and in the end might lind it was impossible
to raise them.
Mr.. Hobson wanted to be placed at the
head Of a wrecking company, which he
should organize, and be authorized to ex
pend from $4,000 to 5000, 900 on the two
vessels. He said the hull of the Nizcay;
was intact, and proposed to build Golfer
dam around her and bring her to the surface
after making repairs necessary to float her

THE BOTKIN CASE
The Accused Indicted-The Delaware
Authorities Take Action

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 29.-Mrs. Cor
della Botkin was formally arraigned before
Judge Carroll Cook today upon the indct-
ment filed by the grand jury last evening,
charging her with the murder of Mrs John
p. Dunning, and her sister, Mrs. Deane, of
Delaware.
The attorney general of Delaware has in
structed Detective McNey to employ an at
torney at law to get the Botkin case into
the United States supreme court. A writ
of habeas corpus viii he ;s2lied for by Me
Vey in the district or circuit court. Should
the application be denied an appeal will be
taken to the United States supreme court.
There is only one possible obstacle obsta-
Gle to such a course. The district or cir
cult court which denies the application
may also refuse to allow an appeal. Such
refusal is very rare. and was held by Judge
Sawyer to be beyond the power of the lower
court in. habeas corpus cases, but both the
district and circuit courts lately refused to
permit Durrant to appeal. They took the
ground that the request for leave to appeal
was frivolous and made with intent to him
der and delay the course of justice.

COUNTING The DEATHS
OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS IN
THE WAR WITH SPAIN
Of the Three Thousand Dead Men Only
One in Ten Was Slain in
Battle

CHICAGO. Oct. 29.--Commissioner OF
Pensions II. Clay Evans, who is in this city
stopping at the Great Northern Hotel,
states that up to September 80 the war with
Spain had caused the loss of the lives OF
2006 American soldiers and sailors. ne
further declares that the statistics OF his
office show that the percentage OF deaths
in camps from disease during last summer
was much less than during the clyil war
Commissioner Evans being asked Tor FUR
ther particulars spoke as follows
During the rebellion 10000 men were
killed in battle and 100000 persisted in
camps and prisons. From official figures
which l have recently completed, covering
8 period from May l to September 30, ]
result of the war with Spain was 2906. Ot
this number l07 were officers. At Santiago
the loss of life was % officers and DO men.
This is an average of one officer tor every
ten men. At Cardcnas one officer was
killed. Since the battles on Cuban soil 6l
men have died of wounds received i'll SER
vice.
"The total number of American soldiers
that have died in camps from disease are 50
officers and 1920 prvates, or an aggregate
of 26O0. This is remarkable in view OF
the terrible climatic disadvantages, and it
fully verities the soldiers adage that dispase
kills more men than bullets. There have
been COO claims for pensions filed to date as
a result of the war.
''ln the Cuban campaign the loss of so
many officers is accounted for by the fact
that the Spanish sharpshooters hid in the
trees and dense foliage. used smokeless pow
der and picked of the officers with ease.
Some of the wounds received by officers
were remarkable. l recall one case in par
ticular-that Of Captain Knox of the First
Cavalry. The captain was shot in the

and lung and broke two of his ribs. He is
alive today and the President has promoted
