THE CAPAC MEETS ONE ON WHICH THE
CREW is STARVING AND ANOTHER ON
WHICH THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC.

Meeting two vessels in dire distress on one voy-
age does not often happen to a sea captain, yet
that was the experience OF Captain Sproul Of the
British steamer Capac. which reached this port
terday from South America. He relates that on
March o. in latitude 1647 south and longi-

small boat and said that Captain Baker. the COM
mander of the Troop, dying, and that the rest
Of the crew were nearly starved 10 death. The YES
sci was seventy days out from Buenos Ayres. The
Capac sent provisions aboard the unlucky ship
1t is rather a remarkable coincidence that on De-
cember last a cable dispatch from Buenos Ayres
published in this city which said:

GENERAL PLAN OF THE MEMORIAL DESIGNED
BY STANFORD WHITE AND FREDERICK

PARK.


The Committee OF the Prison Ship Martyrs AS

done by Frederick Macmonnies. The design was
submitted at the annual meeting OF the associa-
ton, held on March q last at the home Of General
Horatio G. King in Brooklyn.
The design for the monument was explained In
a letter sent to the meeting by Mr.. White, who

The memorial IL in the form OF a massive Greek
or Roman column, surmounted by an incnerating
bronze tripod. The column Is Of heroic size. and
will depend on its proportions for its effect. Mr..
White stated I'm his letter that "the scheme con-
templates a great granite sign around a column
and a platform. either paved with granite or COW
cred with sods
THE essence OF the design will be n memorial
chapel in the crypt. with great embossed RELIEF
by Macmonnies at the end. and the coat-of-arms
OF the different States surrounding the chapel"
1t is estimated that the column will be more
than one hundred feet in height and will be plainly
visible from large part OF Brooklyn and Manhat-
tan when erected on the summit Of the hill at
Fort Greene. The highest estimate for the com

cost would be much less, and I'm Branford granite
even less still. There would he some incidental ex-
penses required remodel the flight or stone steps

President Elijah r. Kennedy OF the association
visited Mr. Macmonnics in Paris and conferred
with him as TO suitable designs for the work. The
sculptor drew rough sketch OF the memorial az
