LONGSTREET NOT WELL
FAMOUS coNFEDERArE TAKEN
 TO HOSPITAL.
Under the Care of Skilled Physicians and Nurses He Has Greatly
 Improved-Now in His
 NN 84th Year.

Washington. May 14-(speciai. )--The friends of General James Longstreet have been uneasy the past few days over the condition of the venerable veteran soldier.
 One day last week while getting of a street car, he wrenched his right leg so that 8 swelling about the knee resulted. Home treatment not being favorable, his piysicisn. Dr James Dudley Morgan, ad- vised and had him conveyed to Garfield Hospital, which is In surbarb of thig city When taken to the sanitariuIn the leg was slightly swoakHl shr.t the knee with fevsr and some symptoms of erysipelas. The leg was bandaged and absolute rest precribed. Dr. Morgan re- ports his patient this evening as greatly improved and the fever entirely subsided.
 The affected leg was badly wounded dur ing the Mexican War at the storming of Chapultepec and nearly ever since that time has occasionally given the General trouble in the form of rheumatism and even annoyed him whom he was wi1n.ng fame as Lees old war horse"
 The young wife of the famous general was in tears when she was told he would have to be taken to the hospital. but
 
 himself is quite cheerful and more than usually ta1kative.
 He had been regarded by his friends during the past winter as rather under the weather" and had submitted to no treatment but now that he has skilled and careful treatment and nursing he has made substantial advancement which his physician says is notable in a man of his age, he being in his s4th year.
 There are several Southern young wo- men. who are nurses at the hospital and their attention and devotion to the old Confederate here Is as tender and unre- mitting As possible.
 The General while attending to the duties of his office of Commissioner of Railroads. has lived at the Barton. a comfortable, small hotel in this city. He wanted to go back to his home in Georgia when his affliction began last week. but his condition would not have permitted the tourney

SAY WAR IS NOT OVER
COLUMBUS, O., MEN MALIGN
 THE SOUTH.
Refuse to Participate in Annual Ser vices Over Remains of the Confederate Dead at
 Camp Chase.

Columbus. O., May 14.--The Hill Tops Improvement Association, an organixa- tion of citizens of the vicinity of the Con- federate Cemetery at Camp Chase. after a stormy session, refused to participate in the annual services which were to be he'd next month at the cemetery in mem ory of the Confederate dead.
 President W. B. Potts had planned for the association to take part in the cer- emonies, but when the matter was brought before the association. 1t met with stormy opposition. A resolution was at once presented declaring the refusal of the association to participate in the exercises.
 Dr. Warner, member of the associa- tion, declared the war was not over He said 1t would never be until the Confed- crates recognized the fourteenth and df- teenth amendments to the National Con- stitution.
 President Potts tried to prevent the adoption of this resolution. He said the Confederate graveyard at Camp Chase was the largest of its kind in the North. and annually in June the eyes of a united country were on Columbus snd this city had gained the thanks of sII the people of the Southern States by its care of the graves of the dead Confed- crates. He said he was one of those who thought the war of the rebelnon was over. He had been laboring under the impression that the sons of ex-Confedsr- ate and sons of ex-Union soldiers fought side by side in the Spanish-American war and for the protection of the Christians fin China.
 The resolution was adopted by a na- Jority vote.

 Dr. E. H. Bradford of Boston was ex- pected to oner resolutions thanking Dr.. Lorenx for visiting the United States and demonstrating his methods. But such resolutions, it was thought, might induce criticism from members of the Association who do not approve wholly of the Lorenz system.

TAKEN FROM WRECK
CREW OF BRIGANTINE BERTHA
 CRAY SAVED.
Men of Saint Oswald Show Great Bravery in Going to the Succor of the Distressed
 Mariners.

Norfolk, Va. May 14-The British steamship St. Oswald from. Mobile. for Norfolk arrived here today with the crew of the shipwrscked British brigantine Bertha Cry from Jacksonville to St. Kitts, Island of Martinique.
 For nearly week Captain Richards and the men aboard the English sailing craft were tossed about at the mercy of wind and waves. The vessels rigging was gone and the hull waterlogged Salt water pouring in between the decks quickly spoiled their food and rendered their supply of fresh water useless.
 The Nova Scotian mariners had about abandoned all hope of safety when the Saint Oswald hove in sight and responded to their signals of distress. The brigan- tine was abandoned off the Florida coast.
 The rescue of the shipwrecked sailors was thrilling one and was attended by great risks on the part of the crew of the Saint Oswald.
 The waves were running high and the wind still blowing a gale when Hfeboat was lowered from the Saint Oswald s davits. The boat made two trips from the wreck to the steamer. Three men were taken off first and four on the second trip. They were found clinging to the rigging.
 The crew of the Bertha Gray are; Cap tain Richards, Mate Baalch, Steward Porter, J. Mallett, H. Rice, J. Cat:oll and B. Rasmussen, all of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the home port of the ill-fated brigantine. British Vice-Consul Meyers has taken charge of the men and will care for them until they can be transported to Canada.
 The Bertha Gray was a vessel of 162 tons register and was built about twenty years ago at Yarmouth, her home port She was valued at $S5.OOO an had on boar $4O0O worth of lumber. Captain Richards was mart owner of the vessel

THE SEARCH IN VAIN.
New York Detectives Discover Little
 in Chicago.


 Chicago. May 14-Working on what they believe to be positive information that the internal machine found on pier of ocean liner Umbria was made on the West Side in Chicago, police officials are hopeful that they will be able to find the man Russell or Rosseau who made the device.
 Today George w. McClusky, chief of detectives of New York, and Detective Sergeants Funston and Cary of the same city reached Chicago in an endeavor to surprise the maker of the machine before 1t became known here that there was clue leading to this city. In this they were disappointed.
 Chief BIcClusky communicated with Lieutenant Rohan and then made an in- vestigation personally. He is confident that the internal machine was made or at least completed in the rooming house at 2s7 Washington Boulevard kept by MT. and Mrs. Harry Ehlen, though he Is doubtful if the plot was thought out in Chicago.
 After making a hurried investigation here Chief McCluskey left for New York Detectives Funston and Carey had hong conference with Lieutenant Rohen whom they informed that in their opinion Rus sell and Rosseau were the same man. They believe that after the completion of the machine Russell went to New York and may still be in that city.
 They have information that he received mail here and they are endeavoring to learn how long he was in Chicago prior to taking a room at Mrs Ehlen. The detectives though so complicated a piece of mechanism as the internal machine was shown to be could no. have been completed in seven days and that its be- ginning was at some place other than at the Washington Boulevard boarding house.
 A Mrs. Perkins who three years ago occupied the premises at 295 Washington Boulevard, which Is a portion of the building in which Russell is supposed to nave constructed the machine, said today that three years ago a man who answered the description now given of Russell rented a room from her and after three days disappeared in a mysterious man. ner After he had gone she found three sticks of dynamite in the room. She called the police and they took the ex- plosive away.
