feat OF daring at New Suffolk, L. I. 1t
was shortly after he left the Fulton, after
being under water in the submarine
boat all night.
A fierce gale was raging and the tide
was so high that there was three feet of
water in the streets Of New Suffolk.
Three large sloops had been driven
ashore before the gale and crowd Of
spectators on the Holland torpedo boat
company's wharf noticed what appeared
to be large pile driving toward the G.
B. Bransford. Sr., one of the sloops that
was ashore.
The Fulton's crew recognized that the
drifting object was a Whitehead dummy
weighing $40 pounds. They saw it when
lit was less than so feet from the sloop,
which it would have completely wrecked.
! Berg, though hampered by his over
coat and rubber boots, jumped overheard,
fought his way to the torpedo and
reached 1t in time to prevent it from
striking the Bransford.
. He steered it safely ashore, where it
was hauled from the water. 1t had been
1oated from the wharf by the high tide.

To Recapture Colon.

Mr.. Herrara earlier in the day re-
ceived a dispatch from the acting gov
ernor of Panama, stating that the gov
ernor general had started with con-
siderable government force to operate
against Colon and Linea. 1t is the ex-
pectation of the Colombia authorities to
combine this movement with that of the
force on board the gunboat General
Pinzon and thus be able to recapture
the town of Colon. a
! The Colombia authorities here have
not been advised Of the purpose to bonn
bard Colon.
The action taken by the United States
in landing marines and protecting the
line across the isthmus 10 in conformity
with the wishes of the Colombian gov
ernment and follows a specific request
recently made by Mr.. Herrara. The Co.
lombian authorities are fully aware that
If they retake Colon 1t must be through
their own efforts and without the hope
of any assistance from the American
forces on the ground, as this government
is scrupulously holding aloof from the
political contest between the government
and the liberals.
The commOtion in the streets, as this
dispa tch is sent, is ended, and calm now
reigns. The liberal army is reported to
have been defeated at Matachin by Gen.
eral Adams command. The latter Is said
to be pushing toward Colon.

the burning oil over the room.
The flames spread SO quickly that Mr..

(By Associated Press)
London, Nov 25-With regard to the
story that the British placed Boer
women in the front during the fighting at
Graspan June 6, when General Dewet's
convoy was captured, a story which has
been spread broadcast as an example
of British barbarity, the Daily Mail sent
a dispatch Of inquiry to Lord Kitchener,
who replied as follows:
'"rhe statement is absolutely untrue
and devoid of all foundation. One child
was killed and one woman and one child
were wounded by the Boers."
AS the story has been prominent in the
recent anti-Chamberlain campaign in
Germany, the Daily Mail has telegraphed
Lord Kitchener's reply to all the lead
ing German papers.
William T. Stead, lecturing in London
Saturday, said that he thanked God that
Germany and Europe were bold enough
to call baby murder crime.
Compared with England's conduct"
he continued, "Hercd's slaughter Of inno-
cents was saint-like, and Great Britain
ought to be beaten in this unjust war.

skins just as we have loosened Kaff1rs

were beaten"
