'ST.PAul SINKS BRITISH CRUISER
H. N. S. Gladiator, at Anchor OF Isle
Of Wight, Is Cut in Two by
Steamer.

southampton. April 2S.-In one Of
the most amazing nautical accidents
on record and one that seemingly by
a miracle is not chronicled as a catas-
trophe appalling in it's extent. the
British second class cruiser Gladiator,
especially built for ramming. was
rammed and sunk off the Isle of
Wight Saturday afternoon in a dense
snow storm by the American line
steamer st. Paul.
Twenty-eisht Dead and Missing.
The total number of dead and
missing of the Gladiator's crew is
twenty eight. The admiralty late last
night issued a revised list of the
names of the Gladiator victims. which
includes an additional death in the
hospital. bringing the total OF deaths
known to the above. Twenty-three
men are missing, according to the
list. and six are suffering severe inju-
ries.
Divers yesterday searched part of
the sunken cruiser for bodies, but
found none
The st. Paul left Southampton at
1880 o'clock. The weather was COM
paratively clear in Southampton wa
ters, but Immediately the ST. Paul
turned into the Solent she encounter
ed a terrific 10Y blizzard. Capt.
Passow and his chief Officer. with the
American lines regular pilot, were on
the bridge. and a lookout man was
posted in the bows.
Passengers in Terror.
Suddenly a ship appeared immedi-
ately in front of them. 1t was the
Gladiator at anchor. Orders were Civ
en on the instant for full speed astern
in an endeavor to clear the cruiser,
but it was too late.
The ST. Paul's sharp stem rammed
the anchored vessel amidships: she
quivered and reeled as the passengers
rushed on deck in great alarm, the
women in a panic. The officers and
crew acted with the greatest GOODNESS
and allayed the growing terror with a
snow OF ulSClpllQe worthy VI tlIe beSl
trained man-of-war.
Begins to Sink at Once.
Five boats were lowered within a
few minutes to rescue the crew of the
Gladiator, which had sustained a
death blow. The cruiser began to
sink almost at once. Her men gave a
magnificent demonstration of disci-
pine.
The opinion among shipping men
and naval officials appears to be
unanimous that the accident was I'M
avoidable. There will be the usual ma
val court and an inquiry by the board
of trade. All witnesses of the disas-
ter agree practically that both crews
behaved as well as possible.
St. Paul Sadly Damaged.
The st. Paul was more seriously
damaged than at first supposed. She
shipped a great quantity of water
through her broken plates. and from
the moment she backed away from
the wrecked steamer until she reach
ed her wharf all her pumps were kept
going to their full capacity.

TOWN BURIED UNDER MOUNTAIN
Sliding Mountain Destroys Part Of
French Hamlet in Quebec.

French Hamlet in Quebec.
Buckingham. Quebec, April %. -
Half the little French hamlet of Notre
Dame de Salette, is miles from here
on the Lievre river, lies buried under a
sliding mountain and at least thirty of
it's small population are known to
have persisted. The hamlet has no tel
ephone o telegraph. and neither is
it On a railroad. Meager bits of news
of the disaster came in by messen-
ger from the physicians and other res
cuers who were hurried there when
the first calls for aid came at early
morning.
Mountain Slides.
The River Lievre winds at the foot
of the hamlet and a mountain towers
behind it. Spring rains for days past
have been melting TIE snow and ice
on the mountainside and streams
have been coursing down to the river.
At 5 o'clock yesterday morning, just
as the little hamlet began to stir for
early mass, part of the mountain
started to slide toward the river. 1t
left a path Of death and destruction
in its wake, and those who we're not
killed when their homes were engulf-
ed were left buried under the mass of
rock and earth.
Many Were Drowned.
De Salette, like many hamlets of its
kind, rambles into gardens and little
fields on the mountainside, so about
half of it was not in the path of the
avalanche. The sliding mass rushed
with a roar and spread fanlike over
part of the place and dumped itself
in the swollen stream at its foot. and
those who were not killed in the ava
lanche were drowned. Cut off from
the outside world, messengers were
dispatched to Poupere. the nearest
hamlet. Those first on the scene
found de Salette in a panic, with the
uninjured ones packing their belong
ings for flight.

few who may yet be added to the
most seriously injured in hospitals
throughout the states. The remaining
injured, numbering about 900, were
reported on the road to recovery.
Hunger and Shelter.

ton centered in the problems Of the
living, namely hunger and shelter. At
least n stricken tOwn was reported
to have eaten literally its last meal at
noon yesterday and was relying on
charity for its supply. Fortunately
the great territory over which the
stricken districts were scattered left
an opportunity for the unframed
~neighbors, i~nterSpersed everywhere

nish relic more quickly and efferr-
lively than would have been possih,,'
had the force Of the storms been con

O'Brien of Minnesota, one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of Governor
Johnson, but for what purpose the
managers Of the Johnson campaign
have no idea. Mr.. O'Brien will leave
st. Paul for Denver. at once and has
wired the Johnson headquarters in
this city that he has been asked by
Mr.. Bryan to stop off for short time.
1t Is supposed by the Johnson men
that Mr.. Bryan wishes to talk over
the vice presidential situation. That
is, at least, the only ground they can
imagine for the request Of Mr.. Bryan.
They discounted any results from the
conference, provided it should turn
out to be on that subject, by declar-

visit to William J. Bryan at his home

the Democratic ticket, arrived here
and at once placed himself in touch
with the leaders of his party now here
II may say that I am in the race
to stay" said Mr.. Towne, "and I have
every reason to feel that T will be
nominated. I have been assured Of
the support of a large number of the
New York delegation and believe
that at the proper time they all will
be for me. From other parts of the
country also has come information
that my candidacy is acceptable, with
pledges of active support"
Mr.. Towne said that he discussed at
length with Mr.. Bryan the VARIOUS
planks of the platform and particular
ly that bearing on the subject of the
issuance of wr1ts Of injunction by fed
eral Judges in labor cases.
"On that position" said he, "yOu
can emphatically state that there will
be no straddle and no ambiguity. The
anti-injunction plank will be, so framed
as to meet with favor from a large
majority of the workingmen of the
country.
Another plank, which in all proAa-
bility will be incorporated in the plat
form and which was discussed at
length with Mr.. Bryan, will embody
the proposition of an international
naturalization of the Philippine TEL
ands."
