BROADSlDE ON THE BEACH
TRANSPORT MCPHERSON ASHORE ON
THE CUBAN COAST.
Immediate Assistance Will He ReQuir-
ed to Save Her From
Destruction.

Quartermaster General Ludington has re-
ceived telegram from Quartermaster
Baker dated at Havana last night, IL
o'clock, saying that he had received teie-
gram from Captain Hutchins, quartermas-
ter on the transport Mcpherson, saying that
that vessel was lying broadsidet on the
beach, and expressing the opinion that II
the wrecking party ordered We're present II
might be possible to get the vessel or and
float her to Havana.
On the receipt of the first news of the ac-
cident to the Mcpherson the quartermaster
general gave orders for the dispatch of sew
eral tugs to Matanzas with a view of pull
ing her into deep water. When 1t was
learned that the sea was too rough Tor the
tugs to reach the vessel efforts We're made
to induce the Merritt Wrecking Company
to send Wrecking vessel to the scene at
once. That company has vessels at work
on the steamship Vigilancia, which recently
ran ashore at a point about ninety miles
from Havana. Captain Hutchins says 1t
may be possible to save the McPherson II
these wrecking vessels can get there De1ore
she is broken to pieces by the waves.
Ran Out of Course In n Fog.
1t is understood at the War Department
that the Mcpherson ran out of her course
in fog. She was in command of Captain
Heinrichs, former officer of the navy, who
had been previously in command OF the
transport Sedgwick 1t was his first trip
on the Mcpherson. The question as to who
was responsible for the accident will be de-
termincd by an official investigation.
II is said at the quartermaster general 8
office that this is the most serious accident
that has occurred in the transport service
since its establishment at the outbreak of
the Spanish war. The Morgan City, which
was lost in the Philippines, was not a gov
ernment vessel, having simply been char
tered. and the Hooker at the time of its
wreck was in charge of the signal service

Power of Woman for Good or Evil

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In The Worldwide homage paid Queen
Victoria it was not much to Il great SOW
ereign as TO IL noble, pure woman; not be-
cause she was queen, but that she was
clean.
Instead of women wishing they were
men. they should glory in their woman
hood. Let the men have their provinces
and their fields of work unnisturbed. The
women in true WOmanly lines have all
the fields open to them that they can pos
sIbly till.
| But the influence of woman is my chief
| theme. Every good. successful man will
tell you that he owes his success 70 some
good WOman--a wife or ii mother. Almost
| every evil man or evil deed can oe traced
| to the influence of some evil woman. Many
a mother has sought TO train her sons up
| to pure manhood and give them stand
ard for true womanhOod, when the foolish
or wicked female society they had outside
led them often into irreparable errors.
| | have no patience with this ma audlin SEN
| timent which condones improper behavior
| in girls on score of youth, love" etc.
| Real love goes hand in hand with duty,
and never yet led to evil. 1t is mainly the
! fault Of their mothers who do not properly
| train and guard them. Nowadays girls re-
ceive male visitors and remain in the par
! lors alone with young men until late hours.
! They go to and from entertainments un-
| chaEeroned and their mothers, where are
| tHSy 1 ne Sl is are not instructed how TO
! take care Of themselves; and, first of all,
| that 10 impure thought should find place
| in girls mind also that virtue is the only
foundation for happy life.
| Take the Paterson, n. j., case. The girl
! got the wages of her sin; the men got
! what they deserved The world will be bet
| ter when maudIin sentiment no longer
| throws a cloak of respectability over an
| unclean life.
| 1t is the women who make the world,
either for &C od or evil. A MOTHER
