STEAMERS COLLIDE.
Northam and Richard Peck Crash
Together In a Dense Fog.

NOrtham and H1charO Peck OFtSn
Together I'm a Dense Fog.
GREEN'S FARM, Conn, June s.-The
steamer Northam, In collision with the
Richard Peck, is lying easy tonight and
no attempt will be made to float her un-
til midnight. 1t is thought, however,
that the attempt will be unsuccessful, as
she is driven SO far on the beach that 1t
will need an exceptionally high tide before
she can be foated.
The Northam was bound from New
York for New Haven, while the Richard
Peck was from New Haven for New
York There was q thick fog at the
time and both steamers were going
steadily and sounding their whistles when
a collision occurred. The atmospheric
condition was such as to mislead the cap
tains of both steamers as to the loca-
ton of the other craft until they were
so close upon each other that it was i'm
possible to avoid q collision. The nose
of the Peck struck with full force and
forced its way into the inner works of
the Northam, which Is the smaller yes
sci, with great violence. The officers
and crews of both steamers were at their
posts instantly and Quieted the passen-
gers. Meanwhile the Peck swung around
and in remarkably short time sue
ceeded in drawing away.
The engines on both boats were stopped
and 1t was found that the Northam was
making water so rapidly that she would
sink soon. The two vessels were made
fast and the transfer of passengers from
the Northam to the Peck began imme-
diately. In less than half an hour 125
passengers of the Northam had found
quarters on the Peck. The Peck was
but slightly damaged. The Northam.
however, was in serious straits and 1t
was decided to beach her.
The Peck, her officers having satisfied
themselves that the Northam would be
able to reach shore, drew away and pro-
ceeded to her trip for New York. The
Northam was making her way slowly up
the harbor with the tide.

SOUTH DAKOTA ROMANCE.
Henry BalIantyne and Former Wife
Remarked.


Remarked.
HIGHMORE, S. D., June S-The return
to this town Of man and woman di-
vorced five years ago. but who are again
husband and wife, adds the last chapter
to romantic story of love and war
Five years ago Henry Ballantyne and
wife, of this place, agreed to separate
They had been married not quite twelve
months. Ballantyne was a prosperous
grain buyer and owned several good
farms near Highmore. These he decided
to his wife. The few hundred dollars he
was able to scrape together in cash he
put in his own pocket and left to begin
life afresh in a new location AS soon as
he had gone his wife sued for a divorce
There was no defense and a decree was
granted. The land given her by her hus-
band she sold to advantage, and by
shrewd reinvestments, accumulated with
in the next few years a comfortable for
tune.
The past winter she spent In Southern
California. On her way home a month
ago she stopped In San Francisco On the
street the one day she met an emaciated
figure in army blue, hobbling about with
the aid of heavy cane in vain search
for employment
1t was Ballantyne, discharged from the
United States volunteer service and in
valided home from the Philippines, after a
fever which left him in such poor health
as to destroy his usefulness as a soldier
Ballantyne was about to pass his former
wife without speaking TO her, but she.
when she saw his wasted form and mis-
cradle condition. felt all her old love for
him revive. She hurried himinto a carriage
and to her hotel, where comfortable quar-
ters good food and the service of CONS
petent physician soon produced a marked
improvement in his health. Last week the
two were remarked and have just re-
turned to Highmore together.

lively. Resolutions were adopted calling
attention to the law recently passed by
the Arkansas legislature, and a similar
one pending in the Texas legislature,
practically compelling the substantial
fire insurance companies to withdraw
from the state" and declaring such a law
dangerous and detrimental to the best
interests of those states, shaking conti-
dence, imperilling property and under
mining credit"
The resolutions call attention to the
danger of extending credit to individuals,
firms and corporations whose RESPONSE
bility for the liability incurred may be
inlrerilled by the lack of fire insurance
1t was resolved to engage counsel to in
quire into the constitutionality of the
law referred to.

threatened Rupture Between Mic
aragua and Costa Rica OF.
WASHINGTON, June S-Minister Cal
Vo, OF Costa Rica, has been advised by his
government that the two companies of
troops sent short time ago to Port
Limon. near the Nicaraguan boarder be-
cause of the assemblage there of a large
body of Nicaragua troops on the border,
had been with drawn. The minister ac-
cepts this as showing that there is no
further likelihood Of a clash between the
Nicaraguan and the Costa Rican troops
on the border.
The press reports that trouble had been
caused by the action of the Costa Ricans
in refusing to alliw Nicaraguan troops
to cross Costa Rican territory or to move
along the San Juan river, is attributed
to Mr.. Calvo to the simple fact that Gen.
Torres, the Nicaraguan commander prob
ably was without the usual government
permit required when an outside military
force enters the territory of a foreign
government. The minister feels satisfied
that the small border disturbances have
not affected the two governments so as
to cause a rupture between them

MANIFESTO FELL FLAT,

Cubans Take Little In rest In Fare
well of Gen. Gomez.
HAVANA, June S.-The farewell mani
festo of Gen. Gomez has fallen entirely
fiat. The local papers have given it very
little attention In the way of comment
and the local feeling is Indifferent The
prevalent criticism has been that the
manifesto is not a genuine farewell
The lynching of Jose lie Bregat, the
former Spanish officer, at San Antonio de
los Banos, has taken all the available
space in the local papers Most of the
papers regret the occurrence, but are
inclined to offer excuses for the Cubans
involved. The Spaniards insist that the
military authorities should take steps to
punish severely the perpetrators of the
outrage, in order to avoid its repetition
They also contend that such occurrences
constitute the real reason why SO much
capital is locked up in the banks of the
island. They say the Spaniards, uncer-
tain as to the future, will naturally re-
fuse to invest, for If the Americans with
draw, they claim that the life of Span
lard in Cuba VIII not be secure. AS an
Illustration of their argument they cite
the numerous strikes in progress Scarce
ly was the dock strike finished before the
cab strike began, and in the opinion of
the Spaniards such incidents merely re-
Hect conditions that would be greatly
aggravated but for the presence of the
American authorities.
All opposition on the part Of the insur-
gents to receiving the gratuity from the
United States ended today. Lieut. Col
Randall, at Matanzas, Lieut. Col Raffer-
ty, at Sagua la Grande, and Lieut. Col
Bisbee, at Paso Real, had large crowds
waiting for payment and discharge.
Alonzo Lopez provoked heated news
paper controversy by attacking Chief of
Police Menocal, who recently removed
him from the detective bureau. 1t is,
however, notorious that gambling exists
everywhere in Havana, and that the
small establishments are raided while the
clubs go unmolested. Some of the papers
alleged that the detectives are in the pay
OF the club proprietors and will only ar

AUSTIN, Tex, June S.-The cloudburst
of yesterday, which swelled the rivers
of this portion of the state out of their
banks and caused q great loss of prop
erty, are much worse than reported last
night. Many people are known to have
perished, meager reports tonight placing
the number at twenty-five.
Today reports came from San Saba and
Manardville, small towns ninety miles
north of here, in the mountains, saying
that both towns had been swept by the
raging floods and were badly devastated.
In San Saba eight persons were drowned
and the entire town is reported. under

is one mile wide and running like a mill

At Manardville thirteen houses were

more gave in to the swirling torrent and
started on their voyage down the stream.
The river is reported as rising at both
places and grave fears are entertained
that the entire country in that neighbor-
hood Will be laid to waste.
San Saba is located in a valley and
vast tracts of wheat fields are under
water. These crops will prove a total
loss. Many persons, according to re-
ports received here today, had difficulty
in getting to high land before the rise
came
The situation at Manardville, located to
the right, and in the bend of the river
in the valley, 1t proved an easy prey to
the raging torrents. Seventeen persons

This additional flood has not yet
