ONLY TWO DEAD
And One Missing as the Result of the
RoWena Lee Wreck Struck an
Obstruction.

Memphis, Tenn, March 30.-Definite
information was received at the gem
eral offices of the Lee line to-day re-
garding the disaster to the steamer
Rowena Lee at Tyler, Mo-, yesterday
afternoon. Two lives are known to
have been lost and one man is missing.
The dead are Mrs. Chambers, OF
Charlottesville, Mo, and an unknown
negro woman. The missing person is
George C. Keuchler, mail clerk.
General Manager Robert E. Lee, of
the Lee line, received the story of the
wreck by telephone from his travelling
freight agent, Fl. c. Lewis. Mr.. Lewis
was on the Lee when she went down.
He telephoned that the boat left Tyler
at O'Clock and in backing out from
the landing to reach the middle of the
channel, struck some hidden obstruc-
ton, the nature of which was not
known. She began to sink immediate
ly. The pilot changed the course Of
the boat and started back to the land
ing, but before it was reached the Lee
had settled down in 35 feet of water.
All the passengers and crew were saw
ed except those whose names have been
given.
The Rowena Lee is total loss. She
cost $40, 600 in 1893 and was insured for
SIS 900 with the Louisville Underwrit-
ers
The passengers and crew were picked
I'D by the steamer Ora Lee, which was
turned back with all speed from Tip
tonyille.

CRUISE OF THE RALEIGH.
One of Admiral Dewy's Vessels on Her
Way Home Interesting Attentions

shown.
Copyright, Associated Press)
Fayal, Azores, March 30.-The United
States cruiser Raleigh, Captain Jo-
seph B. Coghlan, from Manila on De-
cember Is, is coaling here, will coal at
Bermuda on April s. and expects to
reach New York on April Is.
The Raleigh has been having stormy
weather on the Atlantic, but has been
behaving splendidly and proves to be
a good sea boat. All are well on
board.
This is the first of Admiral Dewey's
squadron OF warships to be bound Tor
home. She has on board number OF
men who belonged TO the crew OF the
flagship Olympia.
Many changes in the personnel OF the
Raleigh have been necessitated since
the battle of Manila. She participated
in all the movements about the Phil
ippine islands in the battle OF Manila
bay, the capture OF the Corregidor
forts, the capture of the gunDoat Cal
lao, the bombardment ana capture OF
Subig and the bombardment OF Malate
fort. forcing the surrender of Manila.
After leaving Manila on December 10,
the Raleigh stopped at Singapore, Co
lombo, Bombay, Alden, Port said, Alex
andria, Malta, Algie<& and Gibraltar.
In all the British colonies the officials
Of the British army and navy and the
civilian population gave the American
warship. an enthusiastic welcome,
showing her officers and crew every
form of courtesy. Dinners with Amer
lean decorations and American ma
tional music were given to Captain
Coghlan and his officers everywhere,
in marked difference TO the reception
of the Raleigh on heS>outward passage
two years ago. Governors, generals
and admirals and other high officials
all wished to visit and inspect the
ship.
The Raleigh still has her war paint
on.
At Singapore she met a Spanish
transport having on board troops and
sailors from Manila. Although flying
a warship pennant, the Spanish ship
lowered her colors and permission was
granted to the Spaniards to visit the
Raleigh, where they fraternized with
the American sailors, who gave them
much needed food and clothing. Many
OF the Spaniards showed the Americans
wounds inflicted upon them by the
shells of the American fleet.
At Gibraltar, the crew of the Raj
eigh saw the Spanish fleet commanded
by Admiral Camara. 1t consisted of
six ships and was anchored across Al
geciras bay. The Spanish feet and the
Raleigh sailed at the same hour and
passed close to each other. The Raj
eigh hoisted the Spanish flag and
saluted it. The salute was promptly
returned by the Spanish admiral from
his flagship, the Emperador Carlos V.
The Raleigh in two years has cruised
sc, 000 knots.

FIRES OUT.
Window Glass Factories Closed Down
for the Remainder of This Fire by
a Strike.

Pittsburg. Pa, March 30.-As an
nounced in these dispatches, all of the
glass factories on the South Side be-
longing to the American Glass Com
pany were to-day shut down for the
balance of the present fire. This sus-
pension was caused by the strike of the
comparatively few lehr tenders and
shove boys, who demanded an advance
of 10 per cent in their wages. The sew
eral firms notified their employees that
if all were not at work at o'clock this
morning the plants would be closed
down. The strikers and other en-
ployes paid no attention to this notf-
fication, and this evening fires are be-
ing drawn and glass ladled out, thus
shutting down the factories until next
fire.
