COLOMBIAN WAR VESSEL
MANNED BY AMERI CANS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-The Colom-
bian gunboat Bogota Is now on its way
to Panama to encounter the insurgents
war vessel. the Padilla. The Bogota made
flying start about 2 o'clock. came to
grief fifteen minutes later when two gas
kets blew out, stopped the machinery
and left the vessel helpless on the tide
The damage done was not serious, but 1t
effectively crippled the Bogota for the
time being and the gunboat was towed to
an average for repairs. She went to sea
at night.
She has an all-American crew and both
officers and men have ''pasts'' in which
fighting has been the dominating charac-
teristics Her officers have been trained
in the science of modern warfare and her
sailors nearly all hold discharges from the
United States navy. Those that lack
discharges are without them because their
method OF leaving the service was not in
accordance with regulations.
CAPTAIN H. II. Marmaduke, the COM
manding officer. was captain in the Con-
federate navy.
Lieutenant Arthur H. Dutton is a grad
uate of Annapolis and served with the
rank of ensign on the converted yacht
Gloucester during the Spanish-American
war He is the ships executive officer.
Lieutenants Hitchell and Mantgis are
Graham went through the Cuban, Phil
ippine and Chinese campaigns.
Colonel James II. Gregory, of the Colon
bian army, who is going to Panama on the
Bogota, is a distinguished military officer.
The Bogota crew is about forty strong.
Twelve of her sailors were with Dewey
at Manila and several of them should now
be serving Uncle Sam on the battleship
Oregon.
In the Bogota's crew are three gradu-
ates of the United States school of gun
merry.
B. c. Clark, who is acting as the ships
writer, was on the torpedo boat Winslow
during that memorable night in Cardenas
bay.
The Bogota before sailing mounted a
fourteen FOUNDER in her bows. She has
four rapid fire six Founders on her quar-
ter deck, two Maxim Nordenfelts amid
ship and three field guns mounted on
her superstructure.

Upton CHALLENGE is
SIGNED FOR CUP RACE

LONDON, Oct. S.-Sir Thomas Lipton's
third challenge for the Americas cup was
yesterday afternoon signed at Belfast,
ireland, by the officials of the Royal Ul-
ster Yacht Club. The challenge has been
posted and will leave today for New York.
The terms of the challenge are practically
the same as in 1900.
Hon. Charles Russell represented Sir
Thomas Upton. The race will take place
some time in August 81.
Sir Thomas said that he did not care to
discuss the challenge until its terms had
been made known and passed upon by the
New York Yacht Club. He said that the
arrangements had formerly been so salts
factory that he could hardly suggest any
changes.
Sir Thomas thinks that Shamrock III
will be an Improvement on his last chal-
lenger, and that unless the American boat
is a better one than can be built in the
United Kingdom he will win. Shamrock
II will be left in America for trial pur-
poses, while Shamrock l will be used for
the same purpose on this side Of the
waters.

COAL FAMINE
STRANGLES
NEW YORK
BROOKLYN WATERW0RKS AND
CHURCHES MAY BE CLOSED
BECAUSE THERE is NO COAL
TO FEED THE FIRES.

NEW YORK, Oct.7.-It is stated that less
than four days supply of coal remains
for the running of the pumping stations
Of the Brooklyn waterworks and unless
more coal comes before Thursday or Fri
day, the pumping station may have to
close. The gas companies in Brooklyn
are all short Of coal. Many Brooklyn
churches probably win close If the coal
famine continues.
A gang of coal pirates is at work in
the harbor. and in future many captains
of tugs and barges will go armed to
fight the robbers. One barge captain re-
ports that he was robbed of ten tons of
soft coal while on the way from South
Amboy, N. j. The captain says he was
awakened by men who boarded the barge.
They were armed with pistols and he was
powerless. They loaded four skiffs and
disappeared with their precious cargo.
soft coal famine, on the heels of
the present anthracite coal famine ac-
cording to the coal dealers, is now i'm
pending, and is likely to strike this city in
a few days. While the sidings along the
railroads are choked up with thousands
of cars loaded with soft coal, very little
Of it is reaching the city and the price Of
soft coal is increasing day by day The
soft coal operators have appealed to Pres
ident Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, to try to bring the coal to this
city.
Scarcity of motive power is given as
the cause of the delay in shipment.
Prospects are that. in case the
coal strike continues until winter sets in,
the gas companies will have great diff
Guilty in turning out the normal supply.

INSECTS
VETERINARY MEN IN SESSION AT
CAPITOL YEsTERDAY-MEET-
ING SAID TO BE ONE OF
MUCH IMPORTANCE.

A meeting of the veterinary surgeons
of the southern states was held at the cap
itol yesterday forl the purpose of discuss
ing the best method Of annihilating the
COW tick.
c. A Carey, of Auburn, Ala, is presi-

South Carolina. and r. f. Wright, of
Georgia.
The various and sundry methods of
catching ticks and killing them was dis
cussed by the members. r. p. Steddom.
who is a government expert on the tick
question, gave a history of the methods
which have been and are now employed
by the government in destroying the cat
tie tick.
he meeting grew out Of the meeting of
the commissioners of agriculture which
was held at Nashville recently. In the
opinion of Assistant Commissioner of Ag-
riculture r. F. Wright, of Georgia, the
meeting is one of the most important ever
held in the south.
The meeting will probably recommend
a uniform system of caIue laws, and will
probably issue a bulletin on the best meth
Oh of hanUling the ticks in the south.

dent Roosevelt yesterday to ascertain his
attitude toward the movement among
certain Republicans of the south to ex-

prepared in case Of an unfavorable reply
to issue an advisory statement to the coll
ored people of the country In favor OF
political retaliation upon the congress

night by the trustees of the Industrial Art
League, Archbishop Ireland, who was the
guest Of honor, paid a glowing tribute to art.
The prelate declared he loved the beautiful
because IT am a priest"
Continuing he said: "It Is the province OF
q priest to spread among the people this love
for the beautiful. Such a sentiment sweet
ems life. In the homes of the poorest should
be developed this appreciation for the good the
true and the noble Religion, / think cannot
do everything to bring about the uplifting OF
the poorer people from sordid planes. Religion
requires a fertile, prepared soil.
Love for the beautiful is part OF virtue.
In the name of religion should wish TO see
the sense OF the beautiful pervading among the
people. Let 1t be brought into homes into the
furniture, into the textiles. into dress and
into the atmosphere. Thus would we be doing
religious work"
