Wadsworth, when they placed a charge
of powder in the breach before the
burning rags left by the previous
charge had been removed. Just as the
breech-lock was closed the new charge
exploded, throwing the breech-lock
back. This struck Private George
Harvey, of the Ninth. and fractured
his skull. Private Mcdowell, who was
standing back of the big rifle and was
closing the breech-lock, was thrown
back and his right arm torn Off. Fri
vate John Walsh, who was supposed
to swab out the rifle, was near he
muzzle when the premature explosion
occurred, and he was frightfully
burned with powder. He died In the
hospital.
The wounded men were hurried to
the post hospital, where the Kew.
Father Cronin, of st. Mary's Catholic
Church, Clifton, attended them. The
post surgeons said that the three men
would probably die. Privates were
dispatched to the city to inform their
relatives.
After the battle had progressed two
hours. much to the terror of the resi-
dents of-Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton and
Staten Island, the Swiss battleship
squadron was discovered within close
range of the forts and battering away
at them with sufficient skill, so the
umplres believed, to warrant the as
sumption that the forts were DESTROYED
and that the enemy captured the
stronghold, so that today their army
could march on New York city ana
place a military governor in charge OF
the district.
At the same time a battle was raging
between Forts Slocum and Totten, on
Long Island Sound, but there the
enemy was repulsed and put to flight.

SINGERS
PREPARING FOR
100000 FEST
Two-ScOre German Societies In
terested in Big Harmony
Meet in Indiana.

Newark's twoscore of German sing
ing societies are deeply interested in
the big saengerfest now under way in
Indianapolis, although the ~organiza-
lions belong to the Northeastern Saen-
gerbund, while the festival in,the West
ern city Is under the auspices of the
North American Saengerbund. 1t is
for this reason that there is no official
representation in Indianapolis, although
a number of Newarkers are there as
individuals.
1t will not be until next June tina
the Newark German singing societies
will be heard from. They will then
take part in the triennial festival Of
the Northeastern Saengerbund, in New
York city.
Walter Damrosch, whose father, DR..
Leopold Damrosch, did much to elevate
musical taste in this city In it's earlier
days, is at the head of the mighty
choruses and great orchestras in In
dianapolis, while Nine. Schumann-
HeinlS, the world famous contralto,
who lives in this county, is one of the
star vocal attractions. 1t is estimated
that the festival of thtree days means
an expenditure OF 81, 900, 900.

industries of this city. Two large
polo ranches are situated in the SUI

The ponies are trained by cowboys
who are the finest horsemen in the
world and as they play one or two
games of polo every day in the win
ter some of them are wonderfully
expert. The ponies are bred on the.
ranches and are bought from other
ranches. The polo pony is a special
animal generally got by breeding up
the Texas cayuse. This cayuse or
wild horse OF the plains is descended
from the Moorish and Arabian horses
brought over by Cortes. Although

SHAFT UNVEILED TO
BENNINGTO DEAD
THOUSANDS GATHER AT TOP OF
POINT Iona TO PAY AFFEC-
TIONATE TRIBUTE.

SAN DIEGO, January Tn the pres
ficers and sailors of the Pacific squad
ron and citizens of San Diego and of
other Southern California cities, who
had gathered here to witness the cere-
Bennington dead was unvei ed this
afternoon at the national cemetery on
top of Point Iona.
The plain shaft stands within the
plot where are buried the most of
those who lost their lives in the dis
aster that marked the morning hours
of July u. 1905, and is composed of
seventy-four abs of San Diego county
granite roughly dressed and towering
sixty feet above the concrete base,
capped by pyramid of polished
granite
The national cemetery is almost at
the top of the promontory, so that the
monument looks in one direction out
over the Pacific and on the other over
the waters of the bay.
Two batta,ions of sailors and one of
marines had been assigned to join the
local militia, the naval reserve and the
two companies of soldiers at Fort
Rosecrans, to form a military escort
from the fort to the cemetery. Be
sides these there were hundreds of
sailors from the ships who attended
the ceremonies without being assigned
to the escort.
The Rt Rev Joseph II. Johnson,
bishop of the southern diocese of the
Episcopal church in California, invoked
the Divine blessing, and music was
supplied by the choir of St. Paul's
Episcopal Church.
The principal address was made by
Rearf-Admiral Goodrich, commandant
at the Brooklyn navy yaru who was
| the commander of the Pacific squadron
at the time of the accident on the Ben
nington. He reviewed the history of
the monument and what it commemOr-
ates.
When Admiral Goodrich had finished
| the unwilling took pace, consisting Of
/ the dropping of the national ensign
which had been draped over the two
! tablets on the face of the monument.
On one of these was inscribed: ITO
the Bennington dead and on the
other, Erected by the officers and men
of the Pacific squadron, to the memory
/ of those who lost their lives in the
performance of duty"
AS the flags dropped the soldiers pre-
scented arms and three rolls and
flourishes on the drums started the
minute guns on board the Charleston
and Chicago which were fired regularly
through the remainder of the service
The second address was given by
Col. R. " Dodge, president of the
Bennington Memorial Association, and
closing address and benediction by
Bishop Johnson.
The graves were decorated with
wreaths presented by the children of
Point Iona Homestead.
The war vessels will begin scattering
at once. The Nebraska will sail this
afternoon for San Francisco, the
Chicago Thursday morning for Hamp-
ton Roads and the Charleston next
week for Mare Island.
