Collier Merrimac is Being Blown, Out
of the Way.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 9.-Fif
teen hundred pounds of dynamite were
used yesterday afternoon in blowing
up the forward superstructure of the
sunken United States collier Merri
mac, which has long impeded the en-
trance to the harbor. The explosion
was heard plainly in the city, five
miles away. Divers Immediately de-
scended and found 40 feet of clear
water over the forward portion of the
wreck. Port Captain Irving will be-
gin tomorrow to place mines aft, which
he expects to explode in week, thus
completely clearing the harbor en-.
trance.
Yesterdays incident was highly
spectacular. Residents on Smith Key,
adjacent to the wreck, left the island,
fearing that their houses would be
demolished. The overlooking hills
were lined with people, and large
numbers of pleasure seekers encircled
the wreck at safe distance. When
the electric button was touchd a pyr.
amid of water arose 40 feet, and the
surface was Immediately covered with
wreckage and tons of dead fish. The
launches and yachts returned to the
city laden with souvenirs of the
wreck.

Regulations Concerning the rrans-
portation Of Supplies.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The war
department has received a copy of a
regulation to carry into effect an act
of the Philippine commission amend
ing a section of the provisional Gus
toms regulations, which is of interest,
in view of the recently reported
frauds in the commissary department
in the islands. It shows the precau-
tions ordered to be taken to guard
against any misappropriation of gov
ernment supplies. These regulations
provide briefly that where supplies
for the army or navy in the Philip
pines come on other than government
vessels they shall be accompanied by
a certificate from the chief of depart
ment charged with their custody GER
tifying that the goods are exclusively
for the army or the navy or the in
sular government, and that no other
disposition of them will be permitted.
The regulations also set forth that
prompt notice must be given the col
lector of customs for the islands in
case of the nonacceptance of any con-
signment of goods or cancellation of
sale. Goods purchased in the Philip
pines after importation must be ac-
companied by an affidavit of the seller
affirming that an absolute sale has
been made by him and that "he re-
tains no interest of any kind or char
acter in such goods"

Makes Good Speed in Two Trials on
Puget Sound.

SEATTLE, April 1O.-The torpedo
boat destroyer Goldsborough, built by
Wolff & Zwicker, of Portland, was
given two of the first of her official
trial runs in Puget Sound, off Alki
Point Saturday; one in the morning
and the other in the afternoon. The
ohc1al trial board, comprised of Lieu
tenant Commanders G. H. Peters and
Bulmer, L1eutenants A. B. Wilson and
Z. Offer; Assistant Naval Constructor
Adams, all of the battleship Iowa:
Frederick Ballin, representing the
building firm, and several invited
guests of the builders, and the cor
respondent of the Telegram, were
aboard during the trial trips.
1t was 9 o'clock in the morning
when the order was given to cast
away the shore line, and soon the lit
tie steel flyer swung from her moor
lngs and headed down the harbor for
Alk1 Point. She made the trip over
at comparatively slow speed. Thou
sands OF spectators lined the wharyes
the entire distance of the long water
front, and watched the pretty maneu-
Vers of the destroyer, and they wit
messed fine sight, seldom seen in
these waters.
Arrived at Alki Point, orders were
given to let her go full speed ahead.
The smoke poured from her two
large stacks in dense columns. as she
fairly flew through the blue waters
OF the Sound, squirting the spray high
into the air from her bow. Over to
Magnolia bluff she sped, like a race.
morse, eager to win the highest tro.
phles; c1rcling around, she crossed
back on the course just traversed.
Ih1s was repeated four complete
trips. Arriving back at Alki Point,
where Puget Sound steamers make
their runs to the city from Tacoma,
she paused, as if to- catch her breath.
when the Flyer, the fastest steamer
on the Sound, appeared. Still the
Goldsborough waited. The Flyer came
alongside, then passed on. The full
speed ahead signal was given. and
then a race such as was never before
witnessed on Puget Sound, began. the
distance to the city being three miles.
Faster and faster through the waters
sped the little steel destroyer, and it
seemed that the Flyer had suddenly
stopped, so slow was her speed com
pared to that of the Goldsboroueh.
The latter was at her dock and tied
up before the Flyer had blown her
city whistle. Probably never again
will so grand and majestic a sight
be seen as that race, and the immense
crowds on the docks seemed to ap-
preciate it, for as the Goldsborough
drew near to her wharf, she was greet
ed with tremendous shouts from a
thousand and more throats. At noon
the party went to the Butler cafe,
where they were given a banquet by
Mr.. Ballin.

ATE THEIR FELLOWS,
Shlpwrecked Men on Raft Forty DAYS
Two Out of Twelve Survive,

LONDON, April 9.-The Singapore
correspondent of the Daily Express
wires a story of cannibalism at sea
brought to Singapore by two survivors
OF the Novo Scotian bark Angola,
which was wrecked six days after
sailing from Manila, October % last.
The correspondent says:
The survivors-Johnson, a Swede.
and Marticornu, Spaniard-assert
that the Angola struck a reef. Two
RATS were built. The smaller, bear
ing five men, disappeared. The other,
with IL men, drifted for AZ days. The
sailors ate barnacles, seaweed, and
finally their boots, and on the 25th
day two became insane and killed
themselves. On the 26th Frenchman
killed the mate with an ak, drank his
blood and tried to eat his brains, but
was prevented by the others. Next
day the Frenchman was killed while
attempting to murder the captain. The
survivors, all of whom were now in
sane, ate the Frenchman's body. Can
nibalism continued until only Johnson
and Marticornu remained. On the 42d
day the raft stranded on Subj, or Flat
island, in the Natuna group, north
west of Borneo. Johnson and Mar
ticornu were awfully emaciated.
Friendly Malays sent them by junk to
Singapore"

AGREED TO BY CANADA,
Will Examine all Cattle Destined for
United States.


WASHINGTON, April 9.-As a re-
suit of negotiations between Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson and the Cana
dian minister of agriculture, an agree
ment has been reached between the
two administrations by which Canada
is to have a frst-class veterinarian sta
toned in England to test for tuber-
culosis all British cattle shipped to
this country via Canada. The Cana
dian administration wanted cattle to
be admitted from Canada without tests
at the border by American experts
The department at Washington would
not agree to this. Secretary Wilson
said, however, that if Canada would
send to England an agent who should
have sufficient expert knowledge of
the subject, the United States would
admit cattle upon his certificate that
the cattle had been tested and found
free of tuberculosis. This was agreed
to by the Canadian minister. It is
officially explained that about 10 per
cent of the livestock in the United
States and about 40 per cent in Great
Britain have tuberculosis. The cattle
On the continent of Europe are so dis
eased that this government will not
permit the admission of any animals
from there

STORM IN MARYLAND.
Snow in the Mountains May Lead to
Flood,

Flood.
HAGERSTOWN, Md, April S.-This
section of the Cumberland valley is
walled in with snow, which covers
mountain ranges north and south to
depth of from three to five inches as
result of the recent storm. The
rainfall was heavy, causing a sudden
rise in the Potomac river and other
streams. The Potomac is swollen
about six feet, and is still rising,
with every indication of the stream
getting wild and doing damage. The
banks of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal are being watched at points
where the river bounds the towpath.
Other streams are nearly out of their
banks, but no damage is reported.
Reports from the famous South
Mountain peach belt indicate that in
jury has been done to the early fruit
by the freezing weather. The early
buds had been forced almost open by
the recent warm weather, and the
sudden change with the temperature
falling to freezing came at such time
as to do considerable injury. Up to
this time there was every prospect of
large crop of peaches this summer.

WOMEN TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA.
English Girls Apply by Hundreds for
the Opportunity.

NEW YORK, April 10.-A rather I'M
expected result has followed Mr..
Chamberlain's recent speech in sup
port of the scheme for sending women
out to South Africa, at the conclusion
of the war, says the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune. An enor-
nous number of letters has been re-
ceived from women eager to emigrate
and reluctant to wait until hostilities
are ended. One woman who wrote
direct to Lord Salisbury said she was
prepared to go out at once with her
mother and sisters, but she indicates
no particular sphere of usefulness.
Another wrote to the colonial Office
in behalf of herself and a few other
''first-class lady barbers." Naturally,
the colonial Office authorities are do
ing their utmost to discourage appli-
cations from women other than those
who are self-dependent, and girls of
the servant type are urgently advised
not to go at all. 1t is very doubtful
whether there will be any openings
for them, and the public funds cannot
be used for the purpose of granting
free passages to the Cape.

INTERVIEW WITH KRUGER.
Opinion of TransvaaI ex-President or
the Situation,

the Situation.
NEW YORK, April 8.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Paris says:
An interview with Mr.. Kruger ap-
pears in the Matin. The ex-president
of the Transvaal was seen in a mod
est little inn at Utrecht, where he is
staying for the moment. His eyes
have been very much improved by
recent operations, and he can now dis
pense with spectacles. Sitting in
front Of table with Bible under
his left hand, Mr.. Kruger delivered
himself of an important statement,
to which further significance was
given by the presence of the Orange
Free State delegate, Herr Fischer.
Mr.. Kruger began by announcing
that Saturday next he proposes retir-
ing into the country for complete
rest. The little village of Hilbersum,
not far from Utrecht, has been Sc
lected for his abode. Nothing has
yet been decided regarding his trip to
America. Mr.. Kruger will undertake
the journey if his strength permits
and if there is any hope of gaining
advantage for the Boer cause.
Pointing to Herr Fischer, the aged
president declared that the two re-
publics are indissolubly united.
Herr Fischer" he said, sis fight
ing for the same cause as my heroic
friend President Steyn. The two
presidents and the two commanding
generals, Botha and Dewet, will share
the same fate"
On being questioned regarding the
reliance he placed on the Boer Of
ficial kilograms and statements in
parliament, Mr.. Kruger, half rising
from his arm chair, declared,
''The British government, British
telegraph and the British press al
ways try to make this much'-and he
measured his little fnger-'look like
this much"-and he extended both
arms.
Il am persuaded everything is 60
ing we'll there precisely because our
enemies continue to dissimulate and
travesty facts. AS regards General
Botha's negotiations, the public knows
from the blue book and by reading
General Botha's last dispatch that it
was the British general who first made
proposals. Never did the Boer gen.
eral refuse to listen. We do not fight,
except for peace. We are not con-
querors, but, although General Botha
listened to the British proposals, he
never uttered a word of equivocation
on the subject of independence. In
dependence is the only treasure we
cherish, even if we have to sacrifice
all others. 1t is for this reason our
citizens forsook their farms and sac
rificed their lives, and our women and
children now suffer temporary servi-
tude in the enemy's camp.
