British Bark Sinks at a Wharf
at Tacoma.
NOT ONE MAN ESCAPED
A Gale of Seventy-five Miles An
HOur-The Andelana. Capt.
Staeiing-In Deep Water.

Just prior to the departure OF the r.
NJ. S. Warrimoo from Victoria, B. c.,
news was received Of the following ex-
traordinary disaster at Tacoma, Wash,
January IA:
Last night terrific gale ragged on
the bay, the wind blowing at something
like IS miles an hour, during which the
British bark Andelana, 1895 tons, Capt
G.. w. Sailing, sank in % fathoms of
water in front of st. Paul mill wharf.
The vessel arrived a few days ago
from Shanghai, via Port Angeles, but
had discharged her ballast and was
lying at anchor waiting to be towed to
her loading berth.
Two great booms of logs were placed
by the Andelana, one on each side
During the gale, between 2 and a.
M, one of the ballast logs went adrift
causing the ship to careen and capsiZe
with very little warning.
The crew on board at the time con-
sisted of the captain, the mate and six
teen sailors, and all are believed TO be
drowned. They We're caught like rats
and had no chance to escape. The yes
sci was entirely without ballast and
her matches were open. On this ac-
count it is supposed that when she
careened after the log got away she
commenced to fill with water immed-
lately, and was probably bottom side
up in about twenty minutes She sim
| ply went out of sight and but for the
wreckage of the life boat and one of
the ballast logs discovered in the
neighborhood later in the day, it would
not have been known but that she had
been in the harbOr.
Two theories regarding the accident
are advanced. The first is that during
the terrific sQuall last night the Andel-
ana was given such a careen as to lift
her starboard ballast log clear out of
the waiter, the strain on the chain was
too great, defective link parted, and
swept over by the gale, the ship went
on her beam ends, quickly turning fur
Their until she filled and sank. The
other theory is that the ship took a
sheer, and leading ahead struck on the
anchor chain and was dragged under.
List of the missing men:
Capt G. w. Sailing, Nova Scotia.
First Mate E. II. Grove. Novia
Scotia.
Second Mate E. G. Doe, Blackpool,
Eng.
Boatswain Chas. Smith.

ALBANY, June 3O.-Governor Roose.

Gates the denomination OF President

In an interview at the station he said:

CHICAGO, June 30.-At the close Of
the evidence in the case Of Elizabeth
Ann Ingersoll and John G. Collins,
charged with kidnapping Gerald Lapiner
there occurred pathetic scene.
Mrs NJ J. Burchard of Amboy, Ills,
sister of Mrs. Ingersoll. had taken the
stnnd III her sisters defense 10 show
that she was not morally or legally re-
sponsible for her deed. After court had
adjourned and the room was well
cleared of spectators, Mrs. Burchard
forced her way to Mr.. Laipiner.
"Have pity on my sister, Mr.. La
piner. she cried, bowling down before
him in slpplication. Don't send her
TO states prison: no don't. She is old
and poor. Have pity, as you hope for
mercy yourself y
Mr. Lapiner brushed past her and
with his wife and child, left the room,
while look of despair settled on the
aged face Of the supplicant.
John Collins, co-defendant with Mrs.
Ingersoll, was on the stand during the
day He said he knew nothing of the
stealing of the child. Mrs. Ingersoll
told him she had found the boy, and,
after vainly looking for his parents, had
brought him with her. That was all he
knew Of the-case.
The defense introduced testimony to
show Mrs. Ingerson insane and not re-
sponsible for what she did when she
kidnapped Gerald Lapiner.
The state offered witnesses in rebut-
tai, all of whom declared the defend
ant sane. 1t Is probable that the case
will go to the jury tonight.

NINE KNOWN TO HAVE PERIsHED.
One Man Rescued Floating In Wreckage
In the CIeveland-Toledo Course-An-
other Too Weak to Use the Line and
Drowned-Three Others Saved.

TOLEDO, June 30.-Nine lives were
lost by the laundering of the steam
barge Margaret Olwill off Lorain. The
following are those who went down:
John Braun, captain.
Mrs. Braun. wife of Cap tain Braun.
Blanchard Braun. son of Captain
Braun
Mrs. Cora A. Hitchcock, a passenger.
w. Doyle, fireman.
George Heffron, wheelman.
Frank Hipp, watchman.
Two seamen, names and residence
unknown.
Ali were residents of Cleveland
The rescued were:
John Smith. first mate. of Cleveland.
Alex McRea, chief engineer, of Cleve-
land.
Luke Schinsid. second engineer, of
Cleveland.
Duncan Coyle, seaman, of Cleveland
Smith. McRea and Schinski were res
cued ly members of the crew of the
steamer Sacramento and taken into
Lorain by the tug Cascade. Coyle was
picked up by the passenger steamer
State of Ohio and landed at Toledo.
The barge left Kelly's island about 6
o'clock lit night, bound for Cleveland,
with Il cargo of stone. There was little
or no wind blowing, and everything
was favorable for pleasant run. About
s O'Clock the wind began to blow from
the northwest and the little boat with
1000 tons capacity began to go at a
lively clip. About 10 o'clock the gale
commenced and the wind blew at the
rate of 80 miles an hour. Suddenly the
gale turned TO the northeast. Captain
Braun found that the boat was making
little headway and concluded the only
thing to do was turn back and go with
the storm. According to the story of
Coyle it was about 2 o'clock when the
captain gave the order to turn about.
The vessel had turned half way round
when the ru;lder chain parted and in an
instant the boat was at the mercy of the
storm. She was caught between two
waves and as she was borne along the
top OF one of them she rolled over on
the side. The cabins were torn loose
and f1oated on the water, while the rest
of the ship went to the bottom.
Whether any OF the occupants were
able to take advantage of this was not
known, but Coyle said he saw Schinski,
the second engineer, and Heffron, the
wheelnun, after the boat went down,
but that was all. Coyle caught hold of
part of the after cabin and climbed up
on it. Hetfron was clinging to a part of |
the same cabin
Captain Wilioughby OF the steamer
State of Ohio sighted the wreckage |
about 5:l5 i'll the morning, directly III
the course from Cleveland to Toledo. |
The big steamer Immediately put into
service ner lifesaving crew and, after
sailing around the wreck for an hour
and a half, Coyle was rescued Heffron
WAS thrown line, but he was too weak
to take hold of it and went down in the
presence of a large crowd on board the
steamer.

Commissioner Worcester's answer fol.
lows:
MANILA, June 80.
Editor The Times-Herald, Chicago:
The original statement of Brenner is
untrue.
Brenner's charge was promptly in
vestigated by the military authorities
here.
No facts were ascertained to support
the charge at the time of first inquiry,
but the investigation has been renewed
and is being prosecuted vigorously and
extensively. This investigation has not
yet been completed.
Brenner's charge has some semblance
of truth, for the reason that it is now
believed that two prisoners were shot
in the heat of battle for refusing to pass
to the rear when ordered to do so.
This matter is being probed TO the
bottom. 1t ii an isolated case.
The inhabitants of the towns recently
captured had been maltreated, robbed
and left destitute by the insurgents.
The natives rejoice at the arrival of
the American troops, who neither burn
their homes nor loot their property, and
who feed the hungry.
The INHABITANTS are resuming their
ordinary occupations and are ready to
cooperate with us.
The wounded insurgents are brought
to Manila. where they receive the same
care and attention as our own wounded

BRAVE YOUNG SOLDIER.
the Tenth-Dubbed the Drum
mer Boy OF Manila.

PITIsBURG, June 80. - The Tenth
regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, has,
as far as known, the youngest soldier
that has fought in the war between
Spain and the United States and in the
Philippine rebellion. He is Charles De-
laney, the l4-year-oid son of Captain
}. 9. Delaney, formerly state librarian
and superintendent of buildings and
grounds at Harrisburg. He-is now on
his way back from the Philippines. un-
injured aud in the best of health.
Charlie Delaney was under Ia years
when the war between Spain and the
United States broke. out and when
President Mckinley called for volun-
t,ers lie begged hard TO be allowed TO
enlist. AT first his father thought it
hut Il boyish whim and refused permis-
sion, because he was so young. But he
persisted and his father finally said that
If he could get Lieutenant Barnett to
take him along ne could have his per-
mission. This was at Mt. Gretna.
Tne boy went TO Washington, Pa,
begged Barnett TO take himtiand offered
10 so as a drummer boy, as ne was too
young and too frail TO carry gun.
Burnett was finally induced to accept
him, and he has been with the Tenth
ever since.
When the regiment was ordered to
Manila he was in the throng and through
its hard campaign in the tropics young
Delaney was often at the front. The
boys made him the pet-of the regiment
and by rising vote dubbed him the
Drummer Boy of Manila.

were talking about Penelope that after
noon.

piled.

I'd just as lief ask her right out"
''Oh, don't believe you'd want to!'
Eyes, would. She and ] used to be
good friends, and it's so many years since
I've seen her that she'll be feeling like
| telling me things that she wouldn't tell
the rest of you that have lived right
| along with her, as you might say. Yes.
| I'd as lief ask her as not"
| But now as she looked at Penelope she
hesitated. She decided not to ask her
| right out, but to lead up to the question
cautiously.
'You do seem to be real comfortably
situated" she said at last, "and you
amt grown old, like me. Your house is
just as pretty as can be, and-well, |
guess you've done better than some that's
married" She laughed little nervous
ly. 1t wasn't as easy as she expected
She wondered if that was too abrupt a
beginning.
Penelope smiled placidly. Pm greatly

reason for complaint with my lot"
Mrs. Skinner went on with more con
'tdence, Il guess you didn't make any
mistake that time you gave Job Liscomb

picry. and now he's had to go and break
his leg, and-well, they seem to be in
peck of trouble all the time"
Mrs. Skinner waited moment. but
there was silence
no" she went on hastily, fearing that
Penelope would change the subject, mo;
| guess you knew what you were about"
She waited till the pause was just the
right length for the effect she wished to
produce, then said, But I've always
wondered how you happened not to have
him."
Il suppose there's u good many would
like to know that" said Penelope calmly.
Mrs. Skinner had held her breath and
looked at her friend with bright, piercing
eyes. but at this answer Il disappointed
expression came over her face. "Well,
you can't deny twas curious" she said,
with the slightest trace of irritation in
her voice. "'rhere he'd been going with

A tinge of color famed up in Mrs.

pointing. She controlled her voice with
an effort and went on patiently; "It was
awful strange. My! can remember just
how you looked that spring. You had
lavender delaine, and it was terrible be-
coming. and everybody said that you and
Job were the best looking couple in town.
That hit me, for that was the year Amos
