obe OLD and The New.

Turn from the Herald, the Sun, the
Tribune or the Times of today and
glance over an issue of the same jour
nails during the month Of September,
1851. 1t is the paucity Of personal
news in the old newspaper, the over
flowing abundance of it today, that
arrest the attention and denote the
contrast; the great space now given
to reports of minor events, petty
things, of which no one may have in
terest for many persons, but which in
the aggregate make the modern news
paper indispensable to legions of read
ers, while the best and greatest of the
newspapers of fifty years ago were
easily dispensed with by the larger
part Of the community.-New York

EARTHQUAKE FLOODS
COAST OF NICARAGUA

New York, Oct. 0.-Dispatches were
received in this city yesterday from
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, which
tell of n series Of earthquakes and a
tidal wave which did serious damage
to the town. Shocks were felt several
times in succession from 10 o'clock
Monday night. There followed a tidal
wave five feet in height which swept
through the town and flooded houses.
1t did not recede until 2 o'clock this
morning. 1t Is believed that the earth
quake was most severe at sea, as
shown by the tidal wave.
AdVices, received by the Central and
South American Telegraph Company
state that the station of that company,
nearly a mile from the main part Of
the town, was flooded.
San Juan del Sur is in Nicaragua,
t%wenty-fOur miles southwest of the
city of Rivas. 1t is fifteen miles south
of BritO, the western terminus of the
proposed Nicaragua canal. The town
Is headquarters for the shipping inter-
ests of the southwestern part Of Mic
aragua and has long been a port of call
for the Pacific mail steamers.
Few details OF the earthquake are
now obtainable. Nothing has yet been
received concerning loss of life. 1t is
believed that the damage to the town
by water has been extensive.
San Juan del Sur is practically on
the beach. The bay at the end Of
which It is built Is about one mile in
width at its mouth. 1t is thought that
the force OF the tidal wave may have
been partly broken by its striking a
point of land to the north. A wave
five feet higher than high tide would
necessarily sweep the town.
ManGgua, Nicaragua, Oct. 9.-Severe

Recent reports from the various
yearly meetings or conventions Of
Friends indicate that this organiza-
ton is in danger of disappearing.
Thirteen yearly meetings report 924
deaths and 772 births, a net loss of
152. This loss occurs in all the meet
ings but three-in Ohio, where the
births exceed the deaths by one; in
Kansas, where the births are one-half
more numerous that the deaths, and in
Oregon, where they are twice as nu-
merous, though the meeting itself is
small. In ten eastern meetings the ex-
cess of deaths was 232. This falling
off is ascribed in part to the fact that
the younger members of the society
are leaving 1t and entering other COM
munlons. This dark outlook for the
society is affected only in degree by a
slight increase in it's membership in
England to a total of 1886. The
gr7at bulk of the denomination is in
this country, the number in 1891 being
sNe $1,000. There were in Ireland at

NEWHOUSE LAY BUILD
A SHELTER IN DENVER

Denver, Oct, 0.-The Republican
says: Samuel Newhouse is in Denver
looking over the ground with Il view
to the establishment here of a new Gus
tom smelter. independent of the Amer
can Smelling and refining Company.
Mr.. Newhouse is at the Brown Palace
hotel and expects to remain in Colo
RADIO and the West for several weeks.
Il shall certainly build an i%ndepend-
ent smelter in Utah." Mr.. NewhOuse
said last night. This will be to
handle the product of my mines and
those OF some others who are asso-
ciated with me; 9nd | am considering
the erection Of a plant here in Denver.
This smelter will not be run in con-
nection with my mining operations in
this territory, but will be a custom
smelter- The thing Is not decided up
on positively and the plans are too in
definite now to be discussed
1t is reported that Mr.. Newhouse
has already secured options on the
land for his plant and holds patent on
valuable reduction processes. The
building of a smelter in Denver to
handle the immense bodies of low
grade ore in Clear Creek canon. IL is
known, has long been a favorite plan
with Mr.. Newhouse, and II Is be-
lieyed that his present campaign may
include the extension of the Denver,
Lakewood & Golden railway to the
Clear Greek camps and provide ready
and cheap transportation.

trying. A friend recommended st.

COMMANDER HODGSON TELLS
WHAT SCHLEY REALLY DID

Washington, Oct. o. - Lieutenant
Commander HOdgson was examined
in regard to the part the Brooklyn took
in the battle Of Santiago, continuing
his description Of the naval battle of
July Bird from the point where he had
dropped that description Mt Captain
Lemly's request while he was on the
stand Friday.
In this connection he said: "The
Brooklyn did all she could. She got
into action just as quick as steam
could carry her there. We commenced
firing as soon as the first gun on the
port bow would bear and we kept the
port battery firing until she turned
with port helm through the arc, using
the aft guns until we got all the star
board guns to bear"
The witness gave a detailed account
of the part taken by the Brooklyn in
the engagement. In reply to questions,
he said that at the beginning of the
fight he had given the range at 1,4O0
yards, but that after the loop it was
about 2,400 TO $500 yards.
Mr.. Rayner: What was the bearing
of Commodore Schley during this en-
gagement, or any engagement in
which you saw himY'
His bearing and manner, with re-
spect to an officer of his rank and sta
ton in the naval service, were nat
urally those of a commander-in-chief
of a naval force on that occasion"
The witness said that the commo-
dOre had occupied II place on a plat
form arUund the coming tower during
the engagement. This, he said, was a
position of danger, as the commodore
was there always in full view Of the
@nemy's ships.
1T has been stated here said Mr..
itayner, that the Brooklyn ran 1000
yards away from the enemy's ships in
making her loop
The witness replied: "Any witness
who made that statement, although he
may have stated what he thought had
occurred, was absolutely mistaken"
How far did she go from the enc
my's vesselsT'
"She must have gone about GOO
yards to the southwark, as that is
about the tactical diameter of the
Brooklyn at that speed"
Did this turn interfere with the
B%rooklyn's ability to keep up her
fire?'
1T did not; she continued to fire
from her aft turret."
At this point Mr.. Rayner questioned
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1901-10-31

the witness at length concerning his
reported colloquy with Admiral Schley
during the battle Off Santiago, in
which the commodore was reported TO
have said: damn the Texas"
Witness said that when his converse
ton with Commodore Schley had oc-
Cured on the Brooklyn, the commo-
dore was standing on the platform
around the coming tower and two or
three feet from himself (the witness)
and that Captain Cook, a part of the
time, stood in the door Of the coming
tower, four or five feet distant.
He said Captain Cook had taken
part in the conversation.
Mr.. Rayner then questioned the wit
ness very closely i'm regard to the Ian
guage in which this c|ollOquy was re
ported by the newspapers and the Ian
guage used by Mr.. Hodgson in his cor
re%spondence with Admiral Schley. He
read the newspaper version of Com
mander Hodgson's statement Of the
collOquy as follows:
"Schley: Hard aport.'
"HodgsOn: You mean starboard.'
"Schley: No, l don't. We are near
enough to them (the S%paniards) al
ready
"Hodgson: But we will cut down
the Texas
"Schley: Damn the Texas; let her
look out for herself"
Mr.. Rayner then had the witness
scrutinize the letter which he had
written to Admiral Schley June Sth
and drew from him the statement
that he had not then informed the adj
miral that he had used the expression,
Damn the Texas" When the wit
ness was asked if he thought that
there was any suggestion of such an
expression, he replied: when l sug-
gested to Commodore Schley that
there was danger of cOlliding with the
Texas he said: Damn the Texas He
used the expression as not in any way
condemning the Texas for being there
but as If he were irritated as ont
might be about anything"
Mr.. Rayner asked then about the eX
preston attributed to the witness
'She will cut down the Texas" Com
mander Hodgson replied that there
was no such expression in the letter
and that he never had said that the
Brooklyn would cut down the Texas
There IS n good deal in that reported
collOquy that l did not say" he added
The statement was I've made" hi
went on, "but the commodore did sa!
! Damn the Texas"

HOW OUR WESTERN TOWNS GROW
AS SHOWN BY THE POSTOFFICE

Washington, Oct. S.-The annual re-
port of the auditor of the p~ostoffice de-
partment for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1901, will show n marked increase
in the gross receipts and net earnings
Of the several presidential postotices
in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mex
leo. In a sense, the postal receipts re
fleet the general conditions Of a COM
munity, and a healthy advance in pos
tai showings is an irrefutable evidence
of generally prosperous conditions.
The following table shows the gross
receipts and net revenue Of the offices
named for the year just closed, as
contrasted with the corresponding fig
ures for the year previous:

highest repute, deserves and will re-
ceive the highest consideration, and APP
pears to be based upon the experience
Of naval men in actual engagements,
as well as upon his own judgment. A
number of the heaviest of recent bat
tleships have been fitted with this type
Of t%urret, which has, however, never
been in use in battle, but bids fair, in
Mr.. Cramps estimation, to further
complicate the handling of the guns in
the t%urrets, already difficult by reason
of the meager view of the target af-
forded by the peep-holes. Indeed, Mr..
Cramp advocates turrets entirely open
at the top, holding that the chances of
displacement from a shot falling in
the turret are so meager as to make
the room worthless, while it prevents
ventilation and otherwise embarrasses
the gun crew.

subscribe to his tenets are in no diff

other unrefecting persons to whom no
occasion is grave enough to overcome
