THE PAUL JONES BLOWN UP.
Remains of the Wrecked Vessel
Found by Fishermen.
NOT ORE ON BOARD SAVED.

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 23.-The govern
ment steamer Pansy touched at Biloxi.
Miss, yesterday afternoon and re-
ported finding on Breton island a part
OF the stern of the naphtha launch
Paul Jones, also yawl boat
with bow smashed and other small ar
ticles from the launch The condition
of the wreckage tends to show that
the naphtha tank blew up and tore
the boat to pieces
The Pansy met the Maud with Jones
and Taggert on board. The latter
visited the wreckage and identified it
as part of the Paul Jones. No bodies
were found.
The Paul Jones had the following
pleasure seekers on board:
Joseph Brinkman, Louisville.
Miss Florence Taggart, daughter of
Mayor Taggart of Indianapolis.
Miss Margerie Woodland, daughter
of George Woodland, vice president of
the Prairie State bank, Chicago.
Colonel Harry c. Yocum, st. Louis.
Miss Florence Yocum, his daughter
The crew consisted of three men,
whose names are unknown. The
launch, which was owned by Law
-eHcS Jones, LOUISVILLE OiSC1Ilor, was
loaned by him to Mr.. Yocum, and left
Louisville December s, for a trip to
Florida. She left New Orleans for
Pensacola, January 3. Since that time
nothing definite had been heard from
her until yesterday, although her loss
had been rumored since last Sunday.
News confirming her loss has been
brought by oyster fishermen, who have
known of it for more than week
The launch exploded, they say, on or
about January 5, near Bird island, and
everything goes to show that all on
board were killed or drowned.
The boat was operated by gasoline
engine, and it is now recalled that she
met with several accidents from fire on
her way down the river. 1t is regard
ed as certain that this engine ex-
ploded, but from what cause will prob
ably never be known. The force was
such that it not only blew off the pilot
house but split the yacht in two.
The keys bear a tag inscribed
FLETCHER Sc Co., Indianapolis. The
clothing taken from the trunk by the
men is that of Miss Taggart.

Will Surely be War.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 5o.--David L. Will
son, who claims to be an agent of the
British government and to have import
ant papers for the home office, has ar
rived here EN- route to London from the
Transvaal Mr.. Wilson says he has no
doubt that there will be a war.
II have been three years in the Trans
vaal and know the leaders of the Boer
government we'll. President Kruger does
not want war. He is row an old and in
firm man. AS such he has not the con-
troll of the cabinet that he had once. The
cabinet is composed of young blood, who
want independence and who, ! am sorry
to say, will never give up until they have
either attained it or been wiped out of
existence by the English forces. This ls
why I say there will be war The story
sent out that General Joubert has found
that the reserve shells in the Pretoria
fort are ineffective are true. There will
be no trouble in replacing the anmuni-
ton. however. General Joubert, ] know
personally is opposed to war. He will
lead the Boer forces when war comes.
He is a fighter, a man of courage, and
will simply be a sacrifice to his ambition.
When the blow is struck it will be fatal
one in the Transvaal The British have
for months been amassing troops and are
practically ready at this time, if neces-
sity demanded immediate action"
Mr.. Wilson takes issue with the sug-
gest'on that Hon. Joseph Chamberlain IS
in any way responsible for the trouble.

Two Negroes Killed.

Chicago Aug. 3o.--A special to the
Record from Rockford, H. says: Two
of the three negroes injured in an alter
cation with white men employed in bal
lasting work along the Illinois Central
tracks near this city are dead. The col
ored people of Rockford held meeting
last night in the African Methodist Epis-
copal church, denouncing the killing of
the two men and calling upon the author
tiles to take prompt and vigorous action.
Committees were appointed to help the
city officials in searching for the guilty
parties. Coroner Marsh impanelled a
jury and began the inquest, but ad-
journed it until Saturday because of
lack of evidence. One of the dead
negroes is Moses Lee. He was picked up
unconscious near the Illinois Centra!
track west of the city last Sunday, was
taken to the city hospital and never re-
gained consciousness. There We're cuts
about his face and also a scalp wound.
The second negro is supposed to be
George Woodward. He died in st. An

cuts, which appear 10 be from blunt IN
strument Near WToodward's body was
found some cheap jewelry, covered with

near where he lay and other evidences
of struggle were apparent. 1t Is sup
posed that he had money with him, but
none was found on his body. At the in
quest W. NJ Fortner and his son. the
contractor for whom the negroes and
whites were working, said that neither of
the dead men had worked for him. The
10 negroes driven from the camp and who
came starving to this city on Monday
