Detailed Description of the Sham
rock which Will BE Launched
on June RI.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, June 14.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-I am in a po-
sition to state definitely that the Shamrock
will be launched on the Gath instant, when
1t will be found to be in a very advanced
state. One who saw 1t in the building shed
says it is a beautiful boat like no other of
Flies designing. There is lot OF the Ailsa
in it, but the model more resembles the
52-rater Saint with, however, a relatively
greater draught. Peril sas the best way to
describe it is to say it ir a saint model with
all the notifications which the sailing OF the
Ailsa suggested. The metal of which it is
built is an expensive alloy absolutely new In
ship building, 1t combines the extremes of
lightness and strength and has been we'll
tried. The hull is sweetly drawn, perhaps
the prettiest ever produced at Fairrie.
The following are the accurate dimensions:
Length on load water line, SO feet; over
all, 125 feet, so that there is greater over
hang than any other ever heard of. The beam
is 22 feet; draught, 10 feet inches These
are facts over which American yachtsmen
may ponder, for they represent the abso-
lutely new type of the challenger. What the
exact sail spread will be is difficult to say as
yet, but the other figures give a rough idea.
From the deck level to the top masthead the
helght Is l3S teet ana the length from the
bowsprit end to the main boom end is 100
feet. The weight of the keel has already
been correctly stated, but the value of the
metal in the case of the underbody has been
greatly underestimated. 1t is as smooth as
glass and as bright almost as a looking
glass.
Liptons racing flag will be green Sham
rock on a field of gold with a green border.
The dress of the crew Is to be of green and
gold. Everybody connected with the boat is
satisfied it can hardly help winning unless
the Americans have more up their sleeves

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 14.-The In
dependencia is publishing a number of
signed articles from prominent Cubans ad-
vocating annexation to the United States.
In its editorials 1t disclaims any approval
of such a policy. The articles are causing
a vigorous discussion. El Porvenir today
bitterly antagonizes the American occupa-
ton.
Captain Hunter Liggett, with a company
of the Fifth infantry, was assigned to gar
rison duty today at Ell Caney. There have
been no troops there since last August.
Since last Sunday 1900 Cuban soldiers
in this province have signed a request to
be paid S75 each on condition OF the sur
rendering of their arms.

governor OF the province OF Santiago, ac-
companied by his family, left for the United
States this afternoon on board the Boston

which stopped off FL MORO to embark the

STORY OF AWFUL DISASTER
Detailed Description of the Fearful
Storm and the Misery Follow
Ing in Its Wake.

HERMAN, Neb., June 14-(Specal Tele-
granny TIE desc,aton is ndescribably pa
thetfc. Such is the universal verdict of the
thousands of spectators who have visited
the site of the once pretty village of Her
man today.
Yesterday it was peopled by happy,
prosperous half f-thousand citizens as could
be found in Nebraska. Today, with half
dozen exceptions, all are homeless, with
out place to lay their heads or a table
from which to eat. Yesterday they would
have scorned charity. Today the wealthiest
are living on provisions sent by kindly
hearted citizens from neighboring towns.
Days will pass before the debris will have
been cleared away and the scene will have
lost even a portion of the heartrending
features which may be seen on every side.
AS result of the storm, ten persons lie
dead, one family having been almost en-
tirely swept out of existence. Twenty-Five
are injured, some of them fatally.

been futile not only as TO releasing the

for this reason that the Spanish authorities
will be given all necessary facilities for
securing The release Of their prisoners.

From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich,
Mrs. John Tansey, of 100 Baker
Street, Detroit, Michigan, is one OF
women who always know just what
to do in all trouble and sickness.
One that is a mother 10 those in
distress. To reporter she said:
81 am the mother of ten children
and have raised eight of them.
Several years ago we have serious
time with my daughter, which began
when she was about sixteen years
old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed to gradually
waste away. Having never had any
consumption in our family, as we
come of good old Irish and Scotch
stock, we did not think it was that.
Our doctor called the disease by an
odd name which, as 1 afterward
learned, meat lack of blood.
"It is impossible to describe the
feeling John and l had as we noticed
our daughter slowly passing away
from us. We finally found, however,
medicine that seemed to help her,

FUSS AND FEATHERS.

When Marshal Brown went to the
Coast while ago, he gained good
many points essential to the running
OF an up-to-date police department.
He found out that "Black Maria"
up there can be bought for $3.50 and
be landed and put up at Honolulu,
after freight and duties have been
paid at ten dollars less than the
price asked by our local mechanics.
He was informed by the chiefs of
police on the Coast how to find
criminals, and since his return his
"Pinkertons" have arrested the
wrong" men and laid the boss open
to several damage suits.

even be made to appear elegant
through the use of stays are kicking
against this unnecessary display of

A visitor here who has had great
experience in the cultivation of tea
says that this country is eminently
adapted for the tea culture. The
climate and soil are excellent, and
tea can grow in many of the valleys
and on the hills which are not used
by the planters of sugar cane. 1t
takes three years for crop of tea to
mature, but to select the right seed
is tbs main point for starting a tea
plantation. As long as sugar pays
30 percent dividends on invested
capital we don't believe that tea will
have show in Hawaii.
