Survivors Need Help.
The condition of the survivors is
most deplorable. They have lost every
thing and are without money. food or
clothing. The maritime authorities Of
Cartngena have dispatched tug to
the scene carrying relief supplies. The
buildings of q circus and poorhouse
are being used as temporary quarters
for tho survivors.
The latest reports from the cape say
that three boats have Just brought in
a number of rescued
An additional sadness is added to the
catastrophe owing TO the fact that II
number OF fishermen who were conduct
ing rescuing operations were drowned
In consequence of the ovorturnlng of
boat. The captain of the Sirio, lust
before he committed suicide, attributed
the wreck to his own imprudencc.
The Sirio left Genoa August ..
Hard to Get Details.
All the ships books were lost, 1t
IS impossible at present to ascertain
the full extent of the disaster Nine
tenths of the passengers were Italians
and the remainder Spaniards. All the
survivors have been landed at Cape
Palos. The inhabitants provided them
with clothing and nourishment. Thirty
were landed Mt Hornigas island, about
three miles from the tragedy. Fisher
men brought in the first news of the
foundering Of the Sirio, and it created
CONSERVATION here Boatloads Of the
shipwrecked passengers and crew be-
gan to reach shore shortly after tho
news became known.
Passengers confirm the fearful ma
ture of the calamity.
From the broken narratives of the
terror or-s5ricken survivors it would APP
pear that il was the intention Of the
captain of the Sirio, after leaving Bar

ceeding to Brazil.
Captain Took Risk.
The captain, in order TO shorten the
route and gain time, proposed to pass
as close as possible to the dangerous
rocky lodges surrounding the Hornigas
islands. Without any warning, and
while running at full speed, the Sirio
crashed upon the rocks with terrific
force. A few minutes after the vessel
sank beneath the waves. The passcn.
gers were in a state of horror and
panic, Crowds rushed forward. push
ing each other and fighting for places
in the bow of the boat. Many fell and
were trampled TO death Dozens OF
men and women threw themselves into
the sea- A young mother who was
carrying a baby was advised TO aban-
don the child and try to save herself
alone. This she refused to do. declar
ing that she preferred that they die
together. Both eventually were picked
up alive from the water.
In the midst OF this panic the cap
tain and officers Of the Sirio ondeav-
ored in vain to restrain the people, re-
store a scmblance of order and organ
ize a system Of life saving, This was
not accomplished, for the vessel sud
denly either broke in half or glided of
the rocks and foundcred in deep water
The captain purposely sank with his
ship.

Although rigid silence is preserved at the various departments here in re- gard to the probable outcome of the present insurrection in Cuba. there is strong undercurrent of feeling that the result will be annexation in the very near future, says Washington writer. To possess Cuba has been the dream of Americans for more than a century. Thomas Jefferson. when he was president. several times announced that the United States ought to possess the island. and he reiterated his belief on several occa- sions after he retired to private fife The dream lived and grew in the breast of the south in the palms days of slavery: it was part of the scheme of Aaron Burr. and at one time there was a very strong feeling in the south to withdraw from the north. seize on Cuba. unite with Mexi- co. and build up a great slave empire. IL was this dream that gave birth to the order of The Knights of Ameri- can Liberty. afterward known in the north. during the war between the states, as the Knights of the Golden Circle. Jefferson advocated the pos session of the island because it com manded the gulf: in slavery days its annexation was advocated because it would extend the area of American slavery. During the administration Of Franklin Pierce our ministers to St James. France. Holland and Spain. met at Ostend. and issued fhc ence famous Ostend manifesto. in which inc f0reible seizure of Cuba. if Spain should refuse to sell was advocated. Ii caused a world sensation" at the time. and came near involving Us in a war with Spain. It has always been said that when Buchanan was presi- dent he made a tentative offer of s.sasOsD to Spain for Cuba. How ever that may be. Americans have never lost the dream of some time possessing the queen of the An tiles and that time may now be ap- proachinr- The hope that it is. is very strong here.

The Italian Charge d'Affaires has notified the secretary of state that an International congress on aid to the Insane will be held at Milan Septem- Der 26 to 30, and that the committee desires the official participation of as many states as possible so that the recommendations of the congress may more readily reach those who have power to carry them out. The Italian government is very desirous that the United States. through delegates, shall participate in congress. Hospi- tals, medical societies, and other or ganized bodies interested in the treat ment of insane persons may submit recommendations to the department of state of persons desired as dele gates to the congress. Designations by the department of state will not carry any allowances whatever for compensation or travel.

 General Harrison cultivated the friendliest spirit with all of his frontier soldiers, wore buckskin jacket, was the keenest of woodsmen and in moments of leisure made real companions of his men. He could swing an axe, hunt the deer or coon, and he shot with the best. His home ly, hardy ways won their love as his daring stimulated their courage. For half century he was the archetype of pioneers, as Lincoln came to be to the generation that came after. Even yet the magic word of "Tippecanoe" will stir the "reminiscences of many octogenarians in the middle vest Lynn Tew Sprague in Outing.
 One doesn't have to go outside the city limits to notice that great quantity of wild carrots are allowed to grow by property owners and there has been enough raised by the growth this year to SOW over many acres. Wild carrots may look rather pretty when they are in blossom if one is far enough away. but they are a nuisance and if they once get a foot hold on mans land they are liable to drive everything else out. The fact that they are nuisance is recog- nized by the state of Connecticut which has by statute provided for their suppression. It may be news to some of those who let the weeds go to seed that there is a state law deal ing with the matter. but such is the case.-New London Telegraph.
