IT is now said that while the executions were going on
the ministers if in shame and disgust over their con

Among these the United States special commissioner was
conspicuous HIS plea for enency was seconded by the
British japanese Spanish and Russian ministers but

that men should be executed in every town. city and vii

DAMAGED A TRANSPORT.
Alleged Work Of Boer sympathlzer

Alleged Work Of a Boer sympathIzer
~ at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Aug. 11.-What is re-
garded as an attempt Of Boer sym
pathizer to blow up British trans
port occurred shortly after midnight
when terrific explosion occurred at
the stock landing, where the Harrison
steamer Mechanician is moored. The
Mechanician is to carry mules to
South Africa. The explosion shook
houses, ratified dishes and awakened
people for some distance around.
Most of the crew Of the ship were
asleep, but the explosion brought
them quickly from their berths to the
deck. An examination showed large
dent on the starboard side Of the ship.
Three plates at the waters edge had
been sprung and considerable water
was let into the ship.
Pumps were Immediately put to
work and when daylight came it was
found that the vessel was in no danger
Of sinking, and that the damage done
was not serious. The crew of the ves-
sci denied that there were any explo-
sives on board, and there seems little
doubt, according to the statements Of
those who examined the ship, that the
explosion was from the outside, and
that some sort of bomb or torpedo had
been used.
A British oficer who was on the
ship said that the explosion was ter
rife, and that column Of water went
high In the air and fell on deck.

Fort Worth, Tex. Aug. 1.-THE
southbound Missouri, Kansas and
Texas train No. 8, due here at $50
a. m., was robbed at Caney Switch, at
1:05 a. M, by masked men. The ex-
press car was blown open, the safe

oil the mail considered valuable taken.
All the passengers were robbed of
their money. The robbers secured but
little in the express car but got about
$400 from the passengers. After hold
ing the train two hours the robbers
left, going east into the dense bottom
timber.
The trainmen cut out the wrecked
express car and ran down to Caney
Station and advised officers up and
down the road. Within two hours
posses of United States marshals, with
bloodhounds, were on the trail. The
bloodhounds trailed the robbers to
their homes. Their names are e. c.

Washington, Aug. The navy de.
rartment has acted upon the com.
plant made by the Hon. William E.
y Chandler against Rear Admiral Rob-
ley d. Evans. It has reprimanded the
admiral and the following letter has
been addressed to him:
Navy Department, Washington,
Aug. 8, 1901.-Sir: The Hon. William
e. Chandler, president of the Spanish
treaty claims committee, lately sen.
ator Of the United States and formerly
secretary of the navy, has complained
to the department, as you are aware.
Of certain structures upon himself in
your book entitled "a Sailors Log"
The structures in question are In the
nature of aspersions upon the Official
conduct Of the then (1SS4) secretary
of the navy. The text of your book it
is not necessary here to recite. Nor
Is it needful to ask of you an explana-
ton why you felt yourself justified In
publishing what you have. It is OBJ
:::ous to any reader that you speak Of
fensively Of Secretary Chandler's ac-
ton; that you impugn his motives,
and otherwise traduce him in respect
to orders given you by the secretary
in the discharge of the duties of his
office.
"You are informed that this deltber-
ate publication Of yours has Justly in
CURED the displeasure of the depart
ment. For an officer thus to attack a
former head of the navy department
because of order given to him by that
official Is to abandon the courtesy that
should always characterize an officer
Of the navy. If tolerated it would un-
questionably prove subsersive of dis
cipline. It would tend to bring the Of
fee itself into disrepute.. The act is
the more reprehensible, in this In
stance, because of your long expe-
rience in the service.
ut has become my duty, therefore,
to censure you for this breach of the
obligation imposed upon you as a
commissioned officer Of the navy of
the United States; which I according
1y do. s#.

Ter. Very respectfully,

LEGATION WITHDRAWN.
Begins to Look Like War Between
Venezuela and Colombia.
Willemstad, Curacao, Aug. 13.-The
Colombian legation left Caracas dur.
ing the day.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Mr. Heran,
the Colombian charge d'affaires at
Washington, is still In official ignor-
ance of the momentous events which,
according to the press reports, are
transpiring on the Isthmus Of Pana-
ma and along the. Venezuelan border.
He attributes his lack Of information
to q break in cable communication
with his country, the line from Buena
Ventura north having been reported
to be in very bad working order.
The state department has author
lied the American charge d'affaires at
Caracas, Venezuela, to use his good
offices for Colombia in case the Co.
lombian minister at the Venezuelan
capital leaves that country. The state
department has no information as to
whether the Colombian minister has
Withdrawn from Venezuela, or
whether Mr.. Russell is fulfilling this
temporary duty.
The navy department has now def
nitely determined to make use Of the
battleship Iowa, instead Of the Wis
consin, fur use on. the Pacific side of
the isthmus in case affairs become
serious there.

ENGLAND's FIRST SHIP.
Great Harry Was the country's Pre-
mier Fighting Machine.

Great Harry Was the Country's Pre-
mier Fighting Machine.
OF the first ship, properly speaking,
OF the British navy, known rs the
Great Harry, the following partic,,-
lars are given in an old number Of the
Mechanics Magazine, dated Oct. 25,
1928:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at cost of f14,OOO, and
was burned at Woolwich, through acci-
dent, in 1858.
Though King Henry, us well as
other princes, hired many ships, ex-
elusive Of those which the different
seaports were obliged to furnish, he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought Of avoiding this incon-
venience by raising such force as
might be at all times sufficient for the
service of the state. Historians tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
to be put in condition to protect the
British coasts against all foreign inva-
sions, and that in the midst of pro-
found peace he always kept up a feet
ready to act.
In August, 1912, the Regent, a ship
Of 1000 tons, which was at that time
the largest vessel in the British navy,
was burned, and to replace it the
Great Harry, or, as it was also known,
the Henry Grace de Dieu, was built in
1916.
The vessel, Of about 1000 tons bur-
den, was manned by $40 soldiers, 3O1
marines and so gunners. She had four
masts and portfolios on both decks and
in other parts.
Before the time Of her construction
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the PROV and poop. One De-
charges, French builder ut Brest, is
said to have invented portfolios.
In a list Of the British navy, as It
stood on Jan. 5, 1548, the Great Harry
is said to have carried 10 brass and 103
iron pieces Of ordnance.
The name Of the ship is supposed to
have been changed in the reign of Ed
ward vi to Edward, which, on Aug.
20, 1852, was reported to be still ''in
good case to serve" and was ordered
ito be grounded and calked once q
year to keep it tight. Cassier's Maya.
