erly, r. l.. Oct. 5, Tuesday. at z. NJ
She was two miles off st. John, the
last of a large fleet which has entered
before a fair wind. This wind veered
to the north and the Rowena spent
three hours trying to beat her way in.
She had all sail set at midnight. when
a squall struck her and turned her
over. Stafford says he felt her going
and jumped into the forerigging and
as she rolled over climbed on the bot
tom and got astride the keel without
getting wet. The captain and mate

was tending the fore sheet We're caught

he never saw them again

was very high and it was bitterly cold.
A numer Of schooners passed him, but
he was unable to attract their atten-

ing from the land. He was trying to
attract the attention Of fleet OF
schooners near shore when he was seen
from the City of Monticello. A boat
was lowered and had almost reached
the wreck before Stafford knew help
was coming. lie was taken off with
little trouble.
Stafford is but "a years OF age and
very strong and we'll nourished. He
stod his rough experience well. He is

NOT KNOWN III GARDINER.
Bailey, the Murdered Mar. Not Remembered
by Gardiner People.

Gardiner, Me, Oct. 1S.-(SpeciaD.-
More than an ordinary amount of in
terest has centered in the North Sau-
gus. Mass. murder case. today, from
the fact that the dispatch in the Bos-
ton Herald. stated that Geo. Z. Bailey.
the murdered man. had at one time
kept a hotel in this city.
A telegram was received from
Boston, this morning, requesting
information regarding the deceas-
ed, and stating that he left
Gardiner two years ago. The matter
was at once taken in hand and though
several hours We're spent in searching
for evidence to show that Bailey had
been a resident of Gardiner, nothing to
that effect could be discovered. nor
could anyone be found who had known
the man.
1t is regarded as certain that he new

ton in Gardiner South Gardiner. Ran

Of the large number Of coast defence
stations and the troops operating in

Philippines. The contract surgeons
have rendered excellent service, but
the surgeon general thinks the corps
should be increased. Reference is made
to the good work the army nurse corps

clans report relates entirely to the
calendar year 1899 and nothing is Civ
en concerning the statistics of 1900 A
report from the chief surgeon of the
Philippines dated Aug. Is, 1900, is Civ
en-. showing a percentage of S.47 sick
for the command. the total strength of
the army in the Philippines at that
time being 60,554.
The surgeon general has this to say
among the troops:
In the army. regulars and volun-
teers, during the calendar years 1898
and 1899. there We're reported on the
monthly reports Of sick and wounded.

Believes That No General Ever Before
faced Such Difficulties.
Lost Supreme Command Rightly for Failing 10
Relitve ladysmith.

I.ondol. oct. 19-4 A. M-The Piete.-
maritzburg correspondent of the Daily
Mail wires as follows:
In his speech returning thanks for
the sword Of honor, Sir Redvers Butler
made a spirited defence of his strategy.
He said that he did not believe that
any general had ever faced situation
so difficult as that which confronted
him when he disembarked at Cape
Town without an army, and with no
hope of one for another seven weeks
or longer.
Il found Mafeking and Kimberley
bpleagured." continued he, "and the
two main avenues across the Free
state. Bethulie bridge and Norvars
mont. in the hands of the enemy. with
Iadysmi h rearly surrounded. If had
waited for the army and then ad-
vanced on Bloemfontein. it would have
been at least u weeks before I could
have exerted any influence on the sit
uation.
IN that time the Beers would have
completely Overrun and occupied Ma
tai: and what would have been the eff
feet of that on Europe and the British
people,
General Butler then proceeded to
make the interesting announcement that
Sir Evelyn Wood had wired asking to
be allowed TO come out to serve under
him. He said he was never so tempted
in his life to take man at his word
for he had begun to look upon Natal
as a forlorn hope; but it would have
been cowardly to let Sir Evelyn come
to take the risk.
AZ knew that if l failed to relieve
Ladysmith,' he exclaimed, / should
lose the supreme command. l lost it
and rightly. think. But l had taken
on the task and was bound to Sc it
through to a conclusion.
Sir Redvers paid the highest COM
pliments to the loyalty and gallantry
of his troops under the tremendous
strain. strain, he believed. such as no
soldiers in the history Of the world had
