Kentucky's Natural Bridge, in

most unique freak of nature
that the state possesses in it's

low, in the middle of which there is
an opening about $50 by so feet in
width. The approach of this opening
on either side is almost impossible.

Many Jumped Overheard.

Capt. Ward directed the passen-
gers and tried to keep them from
panic. He succeeded only partly, as
many of the terrified people rushed
to the ratings and jumped over
board. Some of these were picked
up, others were drowned. The Chi
nese crew, to the number of over a
hundred, were terrorized. Some of
them huddled in little groups, chat
tering in fear. Others crouched close
to the deck, moaning pitifully. Many
Jumped into the sea. Capt. Ward re-
NAMED on deck until the vessel had
settled to such an extent that the
water was engulfng him. Then he
went up on the bridge and from
there continued to issue his direc-
lions.

Of mile south of Fort Point and
about thousand yards off the rocky
shore The smokestack and a por-
ton of the upper works of the i'll

Then there was a wild rush for the

prevailing at the time induced Pilot
Jordan to bring her to anchor until
he could see his way clear through
the gateway. She lay to until about
4:30 o'clock, when the atmosphere
cleared, and she was started under
a slow bell toward Point Bonita. All

SAYS CUBA AND AMERICA BE-
LONG TOGETHER.
only a Question of Time When They
VIII be One-Meanwhile Cubans Like
10 Feel Freedom.

NEW YORK, uly 6.-W Ed Stokes
gave a dinner at %e Union League
club tonight to General Maxine Go
mez and General Estrada Palma. Mr.
Stokes was formerly a member of the
Cuban League of America, and was
closely identified with the work of the
junta, of which General Palma was the
head. The dinner was arranged on the
spur of the moment, General Gomez
intending to return to Cuba today and
decided to remain over until the morn
ing, when he accepted Mr. Stokes in
vitation and the guests were summoned
by telegraph.
The Cuban General was the hero of
the occasion, and was warmly received.
He made a brief speech, which was in
terpreted by General Gonzales. General
Gomez said he was almost touched to
tears by the remarkable reception he
had received i'm the United States. He
knew cuba was indebted to the United
states, but he never knew until he came
here. how deep that debt was-that it
was not merely the obligation of one
country to another, but of brother to
brother. Every Cuban, born and bred,
he said. lived and died with the idea
of cuba libre" before him, with the
hope Of the people being free and re-
lieved Of the yoke of oppression.
cuba and the united states Salu lhe
General, belong together. 1t is only a
question of gravitation when they will
be one. But at present, after the great
struggle in which thousands of lives
were sacrificed and when men returned
to their homes only to find their wives
and children starved to death in the
restricted barriers in which Weyler
held them under his policy of reconcen-
tration, they felt that they must have
Cuba libre. 1t is realized fully, he said,
that Cuba cannot get alone without the
United States. but the Cubans want to
feel freedom

The pioneers of all new countries
since time begun have organized com

suits until such time as courts were
established and officers selected to en-
force its mandates and DEGREES. The ma
tons of the world as to international
law and procedure are in the same
chaotic state that the pioneer peoples
were in the days above referred to, and
the present is a speaking embodiment
of the most gigantic vigilance commit
tee that ever operated for the better
ment of men and punishment of crime
refer to the powers now operating in
the Orient to punish the Boxers.
Would it not be betterment to call
worlds council not. to end as the one
at The Hague. but called for the ex-
pres and specific purpose of formulating
an International code and inaugurating
an international judiciary to promulgate
the rules governing the same, providing
for the judges and their ratio of repre-
sentation in the court and the adoption
of fundamental international co1ifei
law
so, gentlemen OF the law and mem
bers of this bar, when you lift aloft the
banquet cup to drink this toast, let it
be drank in the hope that the Twentieth

bles of nations will be settled by the
forensic ability of lawyers in a court
of international jurisdiction, rather than
at the roar and devastation of the mod
