WRECK OF THE LOCH SLOY
British Ship Went on Rocks of Kangaroo
Island.
Twenty-Six Out of the Thirty Per
sons on Board Lost Their
Lives.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 15.-Mail ad-
vices from Australia give details OF the
loss of the British ship Loeb Sloy and
twenty-six lives on kangaroo Island
news of which was briefly covered by ca
ble from Adelaide, South Australia May ..
The vessel was driven in the dark on the
scrubby and almost uninhabited shore
which blocks the entrance into st. Vincent
gulf. Only one passenger and three sailors
out of the thirty souls succeeded in saving
their lives. The rest were lost in the boil
ing surf The survivors wandered Tor
days seeking vainly for help. They nVed
upon water and provisions cast ashore from
the wrecked ship. When found they were
in a pitiable condition. Their clothing con-
sisted of a few rags and shirt each. The
names of the survivors are:
VIM. Mitchell, able seaman; w m. John
Simpson, apprentice; Duncan McMlllln,
able seamal; David fitzpatrick. passenger.
Mitchell said that the Loeb Sloy drlfted
SO close to the rocks that she could not be
run out again, and struck heavily. An enor-
NOUS sea was running. Mitchell says that
from the time tie ship struck Capt. Peter

to his post. Within fifteen minutes of the
time she struck all hands We're washed

Leichter and Mrs. Cartridge, a widow,
climbed the masts and showed no fear.
The masts were washed down in few
minutes. Fitzpatrick and Simpson were I'M

All four survivors were thrown on the

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
No Official Confirmation of Certain
Reports From London.

No official confirmation of the reaching of
an arrangement providing for the tenn
porary delimitation of the Alaskan bound
airy, as reported yesterday in the London
cables, has been received at the State De-
partment. 1t is gathered that a responsive
answer has not yet been received from
Canada by the British government TO the
American definite proposition. At any
rate, the British government has not made
a conclusive answer on its part.
Lest a misleading impression be carried
by the statement from London to the effect
that the arrangement said to have bccn
reached would carry the boundary issue
over until the high commission meets in
August, it may be stated that any arrange
ment ratified by this government is rot
likely to be limited in such fashion. More
over. as the record published of the last
proceedings of the high commission shows
that the Canadian side refused to discuss
any other questions until the boundary
issue was adjusted, it is to be presumed
that they will adhere to that decision, and
that the boundary question must he repIov-
ed from the field of discussion by Ilodus
vivendi as a condition for the meeting of
the commission.

CLOUD BURST IN TEXAS
Immense Volume of Water Pours Down
From Mountains.
Southern Pacific Tracks Near Spof.
FORD junction Completely Inundat-
ed-Cattle Washed Away.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 15.-A special to the
Republic from San Antonio, Tex, says: A
cloud burst occurred in the mountains north
of Spofford Junction Tuesday night, about
midnight. The immense volume of water
rushed down the mountain side sweeping
everything before it and converting dry
arroyos and small creeks and rivers into
raging torrents and completely flooding the
valley and level country below.
At the sheep ranch of NJ. l.. Butler every
living thing was swept away, and the en-
tire Butler family, consisting of father,
mother and two children. are reported to
have perished. Henry Carver, on the cattle
ranch lower down, was drowned
The Southern Pacific track was washed
away in half dozen places, and two large
bridges were completely destroyed. At 1
o'clock Wednesday morning the bridge over
the Pinto river was swept away The water
Is flowing four feet deep over the track in
many places. The Southern Pacific west
bound Mexico and California trains were
turned back at Cline. The trainmen report
that the wires are.down and that the water
is still pouring over the track with tremend-
Gus force. The distance between the main
waShoutS is about twenty miles, and it is
impossible to gain any idea of the extent Of
the damage between these two points. There
are many rumors of loss of life, but it is
impossible to get particulars until the Wa

there has been great damage 10 cattle and

WORK ON PIER NO. 4.
Contract Awarded for the Repairs to
the Aqueduct Bridge.

Arrangements have been made for the i'm
mediate resumption of work on the defect
i've pier No. 4, of the Aqueduct bridge.
Colonel Allen, who has charge of the i'm
provementS of the Potomac river, has en-
tered into a contract with the Central Con-
tracing Company of New York for the re-
construction of the damaged pier for the
sum of $37,147. The contract calls for the
completion of the work by November 30
next Operations for the repair of pier No.
We're begun by the Houston Construction
Company of Philadelphia, May 80, 1887, un-
der contract calling for the completion of
the work by November l, 1897 Subse-
quently, however the date for the compile
ton of the work was extended to June,
1898. In April last, however, a controversy
arose between Colonel Allen and the con-
tractors, with the result that the contract
was annulled, and work on the pier has
been practically suspended ever since. The
controversy arose over the desire of Colonel
Allen to temporarily suspend the work of
tearing down the pier until conference
could be had With the contractors. The war
with Spain was then in progress, and it
was Colonel Aliens desire to suspend the
work on the bridge in order to prepare for
the heavy and increasing traffic to which
the bridge would naturally be subject in
consequence OF the establishment of large
military camp at Dunn Loring, Va. The
contractors did not seem willing to make
any satisfactory arrangements for the pro-
posed suspension of the work, and the con-
sequence was that their contract was an
nulled In May last. 1t is expected that the
work Will be prosecuted vigorously under
,ne new contract and completed if possi-
pie durihg the present calendar year.

THE FIRST TENNESSEE.
Ohicers and Men justified the Great
Expectations of Them.

$3.50 NASA u0tlued the Great
Expectations of Them.
Lieut.. Col. Graeey Childers, commanding
the ISL tennessee Volunteers in detailed
report, gives the commanding general in
the Philippines an account of the action
or that regiment in the first fglf5ng about
Manila. The regiment participated In the
pattie which drove the insurgent to from the
pumping station. Fighting wassnot very
serious, and although they ch;,sed insur-
gents for two miles they coule not bring
mem INTO any decisive eneagement. Az
IerWard the tennessee regiment went to
Ilolio' Wnere 1t was the frat to land and
assisted Gen. Miller in the capture of that
place. Col. Childers speaks IL hirf, terms
of the coolness and brayerysof the men.
Maj. B. F. Cheatham WhSs cona1na nded a
battalion of the regiment thatsfwas not
under Col. Childers, and which, took an
active part in the first en,ragenSent with
the insurgents about Marina. Also COM
mends the men under himE I'hsDe troops
were not resisted very much, and they had
no losses In the engagements reported.
Maj. Cheatham says;
comment upon the action oi, the officers
and men under me is not necessary at this
time. except to say that in every particu-
lar they justified my great expectations of
them; what they were told to do they did
well and without a moments hesitation:
not one instance 0f shirling 81 looking for
q sort place came under my notice. The
fire upon us was mostly from cover and
from long range, but in theteases of sew
eral insurgents killed In rfiy sight the
craftsmanship of our men Was excellent" /"

MORE ARTILLERY PRACTICE.
Orders Issued fer the Use of AdGi-
tiOnaI Ammunition.

Orders have been issued from the War
Department for additional artillery pTac-
tice with the great coast guns. Each bat
terry of heavy artillery has been instructed
to begin July l. to fire ten rounds of S-inch
ammunition and five rounds of 10-inch am
munition every year, in addition to It's
present allowance. Under previous orders
the expenditure for ammunition was lin
tied to fifteen rounds for the 3-inch breech-
loading rifle ten rounds for the S-inch muz-
Zle-loading rifle, ten rounds for the 10-inch
smooth bore, eight rounds for the 15-inch
smooth bore and three rounds each for the
s-inch breech-loading rifle, 10-inch breech-
loading rifle and the 12-inch breech-loading

to have good results in improving the
craftsmanship of the artillerymen.

TALK OF THE FLAG.
Gen. Anderson and Col. Turner Adj
dress Chicago Audiences.

CHICAGO, June 1J.-Several hundred wo-
men, members of the Chicago Chapter of
the Daughters of the Revolution and guests,
celebrated Flag day yesterday. The speak
ers of the day were Gen. Thomas M An
derson, commander of the Department Of
the Lakes, and Col. Henry L. Turner of
the 1st Illinois Volunteers.
Gen. Anderson was introduced as the
man who led the first military detachment
TO the Philippines.
He recalled the scene which faded from
view as the vessel bringing him and his
command steamed out through the Golden
Gate from San Francisco, in which the flag
was the most important feature; of seeing
myriads of American flags waving over
Hawaii. which was not then annexed to
the United States, and finally seeing the
stars and stripes floating over Dewey's
ships in Manila. He described some of the
means of torture employed by the Spanish,
and to these he attributed the present trou-
bic in the Philippines. In this regard, ne
said:
No wonder. then that the Filipinos often
rebelled and fought desperately for their
freedom. They had never been told The
truth and had never known justice. When
feat of the Spaniards they were made 10
believe that would treat them just as
the Spaniards had DONE
In his address on Our Flag in Cuba and
Porto Rico Col. Turner discussed four
points: How the flag was planted there,
why it was planted there, its mission there
and its results for humanity and the world.
THE invasion of these islands was
brought about by a spirit of pure benev-
olence," said Col. Turner, "and the mission
of the flag there is to educate and elevate
the people up to the standard of American
civilization. If this is carried out the re-
suit to the people themselves TO ms and to
the world cannot be estimated in making
for civilization and peace"

sOrship Over Correspondents.

sOrship over correspondence
LEXINGTON, Ky, June 15.-Returning
soldiers have disclosed the fact that the
Whites and the Howards exercised a close
censor ship over the news sent out from
Manchester during the stay of the troops.
They told correspondents they would be
killed if they sent out reports that the
Bakers could not get fair trial there.
When Tom Baker was shot the corre-
spondents were on their horses ready to
leave Thinking the Whites would carry
out their threats, they rode to London as
fast as their horses could carry them and
sent a courier back to Col Williams Tor
particulars. Having learned that several
courierS had been searched on the road, the
colonel hid the message in the clothing OF
the man, and when several of Whites fol-
lowing stopped and searched him a few
miles from town they found nothing.
Charles F. Wooten, one of the Howards
victims, and who was badly shot last year,
was confined in Jail, and when Tom Baker
was killed he left his bed and staggered
over to Col. Williams for protection, say
ing the Howards would finish him If he re-
mained. Col. Williams gave him protec-
ton and took him his horse to the
home of friends several miles from town
