Washington.-The navy department
has just received a dispatch from San
tiagO, Cuba, that Ensign Alfred r,
Brisbin, who was in difficulty with
the police of Santiago about a fort
night ago in company with sailors
from the Tacoma, at which time Hen.
ry Leo Lee OF Boston was wounded,
had shot himself through the lungs
and was in a serious condition.
The official investigation of the
trouble with the Santiago police ap-
pears to have developed that Brlsbin
was drinking with the sailors, which
would doubtless have resulted in his
having been court.martialed.
Brisbin entered the Annapolis nav.
al academy from Pennsylvania in 1899
and graduated in 1903. He was born
in Idaho.

AUTO TAKES DIVE.
PIunges over a High Embankment
Severely lnjuring Four Occupants.

Boston, -Four residents of Winches.
ter, two men and two women were
injured In an automobile accident ON
Commonwealth avenue, Brighton,
Wednesday afternoon, and as q re-
suit three of them are now at the
City hospital, two of them being on
the dangerous list.
Crashing through a board fence,
the auto plunged down an embank-
ment of 80 feet, turning several som
ersaults in its descent and throwing
its occupants to the ground. That
all of the passengers We're not killed
outright is considered remarkable by
the witnesses of the accident.
The names of the injured persons,
all Of whom live on Mt. Pleasant
street, Winchester, are: Mrs. Annie
l.. Ray, Ga years spine fractured and
internal injuries; Franklin A. Ray, SO,
FIVE ribs fractured, one of which
pierced the body, and other internal
injuries; Harry G. Ray, 30, both bones
OF right leg fractured; Mrs. Franklin
A. Ray, slightly injured.
The party, with Harry Ray acting
as chauffeur, were riding along Com
monwealth avenue en- route to Wor-
cester. After passing Cummings street
the car was turned into a small road
way which connects the two parts of
Commonwealth. CTenue. k.a Auburn
dale car, inbound was approaching
rapidly, while coming in the opposite
direction was a watering cart.
To turn in either direction meant
a collision with one of the two, so
the car was driven straight ahead.
1t is believed that control of the
car was lost. Straight ahead it
plunged at a high rate of speed,
crashing through q three-board fence
four feet high and shooting down the
steep embankment to the bottom.
The auto was overturned and the oc-
cupants were hurled out, striking on
the rocky surface of the incline. The
car finally landed bottom side up in
pool of water, badly wrecked, with
three of its wheels smashed.
The Mortified spectators rushed to
the scene of the accident and did all
they could to aid the injured people.
DR.. Hastings of Brookline, whose
office is near, hurried to the scene,
but glance told him that the quick.
er the quartet was removed to the
hospital the better 1t would be-
Two ambulances arrived at the
scene in short order and the stricken
four were taken to the City hospital.
At last reports Mrs. Annie Ray and
Franklin A. Ray were pronounced to
be in a very serious condition. Both
their names were on the dangerous
list.
Mrs. Franklin Ray was fortunate
enough to escape with a few slight
bruises and did not require medical
attention at the hospital.
