In Spanish Flagship Sunk in Battle Of
Manila.
Manila, April 15.-The warship
Reina Christina, flagship of Admiral
Montejo, which was sunk by Admiral
Dewey, was foated and beached yes
terday. The skeletons of about eigh-
ty of her crew were found in the
hulk.
One skeleton was evidently that of
an officer, for it had a sword by its
side. There are fifteen shell holes in
the hull of the Reina Christina, one
made by an eight-inch and the others
small. The main injection valve is
missing, showing the ship was scut
tied when abandoned. The hull is in
fair condition.
Capt. Albert R. Couden, command

THE TROUBLE EXTENDS WIDELY

Washington, April 15.-Quick action
and common sense treatment of a crit
ical situation by an American naval
officer in China recently saved the
foreign residents in the province of
Kwon Tung, along the east bank of
the Canton river. from falling victims
to a plot which, while directed pri-
marily against the Manchurian dy-
nasty, inevitably would have cum-
mated in an attack on the foreign
populatiOn While this attack was
averted by the precautionary meas
ures taken by Commander F. J. Drake,
commanding the United States steam
ship Monterey, with the assistance
of the English gunboats Sandpiper
and Britomart, the French gunboat
Avalanche and the German tug Sha-
meen. The coalition known to have
fomented the trouble extends to sew
eraI provinces, and official advices re
ceived, both at the state and navy de-
partments, show that reactionary
measures on scale larger than
is admitted either by foreign repre-
sentatives or the Chinese government
hav been planned by the rebels
Hearing that a force of rebels With
Hung Chun Fuk, native of Wal Chow,
had planned an attack on the vice
roy and Chinese officials of Canton
during the celebrations of the Chinese
new year, during the night of January
1929, Commander Drake prepared to
defend the foreign residents. An
armed force of 5000 men had entered
before he learned that news, and
We're hiding with sympathizers. AS
most of the foreigners and official rep
resentatives of the various nations re
sided in Shameen, Commander Drake
first completed his plan of defense for
this section, and then to allay the eX

informed the consulates and Chinese

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

ID. J. Mahaney is in New Haven to-day on a business trip.
 The Misses Mamie, Annie and Kit tie Cunningham of Torrington have returned home after a pleasant visit with Mrs John Doyle of Bank street. The semi-annual meeting of Che St Thomas Cadets A. A. was held hsst night and was largely attended. The following officers were elected: Pres ident, Thomas J. Courtney; vice pres ident, John Mitchell; recording secre- tary, Matthew Shannahan; financial secretary, Christopher Reilly; treasur- CT, Michael Mahon; board of directors, Michael Mahon, John Cunningham, Patrick Kelly, John Mitchell. Michael Cowley, Edward Madden, Timothy J. Foley, Edward Dunphy, Philip J. Ri- ley, Patrick J. Reilly. The dance committee, which consists of Thomas J. Courtney, Edward Madden, P !.

 ASSA hau1h aIsCuSSIODa It was decided to hold the concert and prom. enade in the City hall on "Wednesday evening, January 21. The report of Manager Henry Eaters of the foot oall team was read and accepted. It showed that the receipts for the four games played amounted to $50, while the expenses were about $27O. leaving n balance in the treasury of $250.
 Residents of South Wilson street have grievance which they think should receive the attention of the de- tective bureau connected with the po- lice department. They claim that chickens are stolen there nt night time and sometimes in broad daylight, dogs poisoned at their masters doors and other kinds of deviltry practlced which render 1t quite impossible for people to keep anything that can be carried away. The thieves watch the women folks and as soon as they get their backs turned they make off with what ever they can lay their hands upon. The air guns are used with telling ef- feet upon the dogs and what worries parents most of all is the fear of hav- ing their children maimed for life by contact with the missiles from these weapons. The sufferers claim that they have no redress except to take the law in their own hapls and they fear 1t will come to this < the authorities neglect to take steps to osavetheirprop erty from those who consider that they have a right to take possession of ev- erything they can find on their neigh
 borS' premises. With high rate of taxation, no public improvements to speak of and no police protection, some of the South Wilson Street folks think that their case is close onto the limit and wonder when things will come their way.

FATHER TRRANoR's REPORT.
His Church Receipts for the Year 1902
 Were $24,4S0.13.

The Rev Hugh Treanor's old friends in Waterbury will read with interest his annual report made to his parish toners in Norwich last Sunday. Father Treanor was an indefatigable worker while in Waterbury, and the condition of his parish in Norwich shows that he is continuing the good work. The Norwich Bulletin says: "The parish toners of St Patrick's church were agreeably surprised on Sunday, when the Rev Hugh Treanor read his annu- |al report, to learn that $10,0O0 had been paid on the funded debt during the past year. leaving the parish debt |$15,0 GOO. This is a fine showing, es- pecially since the Norwich Town sec-
 ton has been cut off from the regular parish, depriving the main church of a large revenue.
 'The total receipts were S24,4SO.13, the principal items being from seatA pew rents, door receipts, $S,142.48J from weekly ten-cent offering, $6,266; annual collection, $1,7SS; net receipts from fair, $4,30706.
 "A balance remained from laN year |of SLIGO. There was $475 due on tl j organ repairs and $250 on the steam heating, and both sums have been |paid. The statement of receipts does not include diocesan and other special collections, amounting to $975.1S. ''The disbursements included, salar- ies of priests and sisters in the paroch-
 ial school, $5,623.50: fuel, $1,021.21; interest, $1,O00; repairs, $1,O14.41; or
 phans and poor, $662.29. Total ex- penses, SPA, ,4SS33, leaving the small deficit of $S20.
 ''In the matter of fuel, always a large item of expense, this is one of the churches well provided, due to the foresight of Father Treanor."

BODY NOW AT SISTERS HOME
Therrault's Companion, Peter Grenier,
 Had Narrow Escape.


 The body of Joseph Therrault, the 14 years old boy who was drowned yester- day, as reported in the Democrat, was found about o'clock. Young Therrault and a companion named Peter Grenier were striking at a tin can with hockey sticks when the ice gave way and both went into the water, and then commenced a struggle for life. The boys grasped each other and sue .ceeded in keeping themselves from drowning until long plank was pushed towards them which Grenier clung to until George Ward reached him, but by this time Therraults strength had been exhausted and with a shriell of despair he went down, while the crowd of onlookers almost went wild at the sad sight. The body was brought to the surface by Charles Dains. Medical Examiner Munger of Watertown viewed the remains and gave permission for their removal to the residence of his sister on the Mid dlebury road. The boys father, Jos eph Therrault, is seriously i'll with pneumonia and on this account 1t was thought best not to take the body to the family residence. This is another of the lessons people hear of from time to time that show what risky places ice ponds are and the care that should be exercised by those who venture upon them. There Is probably no more sad death than that of drowning, and peo- pie should resort even to harsh meas ures to keep children off ponds where there is nothing but thin coating of ice between them and an untime1y death.

 in Court To-day.
 Friends of James c. Denny were so good to him yesterday that they got him into the city court this morning, charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. When he came down town yesterday morning he ran up against invitations to drink at almost every step. He found 1t impossible to refuse and consequently got drunk. Then his friends seemed to have melt ed into thin air or something>iHvisible, and he, full of mixed ale generosity, stopped every man, woman and child he met and insisted upon their drink ing with him. One man got angry with him and handed him over to Off cer Cassin, with the result that he was fined $5 and costs this morning by Judge Burpee. He would have been fined more but the man responsible for his arrest was not in court to press the charge.
