tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring q bun.

are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient Of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount OF their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at

treats the postmen best receives the

 Several hours later the Potomac picked up the bodies of Midshipmen Stevenson and Field. These did not seem to be bruised, but the hands and faces were considerably dishgured
 The bodies of four of the eleven men drowned in the Minnesotas launch have not been found.
 The one discovered in the launch was that of fireman G. w. n estfall. The bodies of three midshipmen and four seamen are still missing and launches and tugs are still searching the lower bay and roads for them.
 That the bodies found today had drfted ten or twelve miles from the scene of the tragedy gives rise to the fear that all of them will never be found.
