HIS FIMfl .EPORT.
Japanese Officer Keeps Record Of His
Death

Japanese Officer Keeps Record Of His
Death.
Death news from the bottom of the
standardization seldom encountered
even in naval circles, is recounted in
sea, showing a degree of heroism and
transmission published in the London
Times of a message written by Lieut..
Tsutoma Sakuma, who was in COM
mand Of the Japanese submarine No. 6,
when it foundered last week while ma
neuvering in Hiroshima bay, all on
board being lost.
In the message, which was found N
the coming tower Of the submarine
when it had been brought to the sur
face, Lieut.. Sakuma explained that he
alone was to blame for the disaster to
the craft and the death of fellow Off
GERS and men. He describes in detail
the heroic and almost superhuman eff
forts that he and the doomed men with
him made to save the submarine and
their own lives. The message was as
follows:
1T Is with the deepest regret that
T write this message to describe the
loss of this boat, with my fellow Officers
and men, due to my own fault. | would
here specially mention that all steps
have been taken to raise her, my COM
rades and men working earnestly and
calmly till the end. I ordered the ship
to dive with the engine running, but.
as I found she went down too far
tried to shut the valves which admit
the sea water to the ballast tank, but
UNEXPECTEDLY the chain working these
valves broke, and l was left helpless,
unable to control the boat.
Meanwhile the tanks were FILLED
with water, and the boat went down at
an incline of about twenty-five de-
grees. After striking the bottom the
water began rushing in, the switch
board was immersed in water, all elec-
trio lights went out, the fuses buried
away and the boat was filled with pol
sonous gases, so that we experienced
the greatest difficulty in breathing.
Under these conditions we worked our
very utmost with the hand pumps to
empty the main ballast tank, which,
I believe, we succeeded in doing, al
though we could not read the gauges
owing to darkness. No electric current
was available, as l mentioned before
and our last hope of rising to the sur
face lay in working the hand pumps
only.
Il write this in the dim light coming
from tine coming tower-ll.45 a. m.
81 earnestly beseech his majesty TO
grant me forgiveness and to succor
the families of my comrades and men
who have lost their lives in this per-
ishing boat. This is my only wish

I can breathe, though / am sure we

crepe is derived. This rubber is pale
yellow in color, and when held up to the
light is quite transparent, which proves
it's purity and accounts for the very
high price obtained therefor. The so
called sheet rubber Is similar to crepe,
but slightly thicker and not so trans
parent. 1t is prepared in a different
manner, and unlike crepe, must be put
through the washing mills before it
can be used.
Hard, fine Para Is prepared by ma
tive labor of the Amazon By dipping a
so-called paddle in the rubber and
then holding 1t in the smoke Of fire,
which hardens the coating of milk. The
paddle is then dipped again for a sec
ond coating and again smoked, and so
on until quite a large biscuit, generally
weighing about sixty pounds, has been
built up. The operator with a knife
then slits the biscuit down one side
in order to remove 1t from the paddle.
Rubber so prepared contains a large
proportion of moisture, but is stronger
than any Of the plantation rubbers.
From the Congo come large supplies
of clean, black rubber, coagulated ORR
ginally in large blocks and then cut
up into small cubes to permit 1t to
dry and ripen. The Congo also ships
rubber in reddish sausages collected
directly from the tree, the reddish ap-
pearance being caused by small pOr-
tions of the bark adhering.
The Gold Coast ships rubber prepar-
ed by the natives digging trough in
the earth and running the latex into
1t. In time the mass in the trough
coagulates from the outside, forms a
hard skin, and finally becomes hard
throughout. But this kind Of rubber
holds the moisture which was original
ly in the latex and therefore such
Jumps often contain so per cent of wa
ter. On the ivory coast, the French
Sudan, and in the Sierra Leone neigh
borhood the natives collected rubber
from the same trees, but give a great
deal more pains to the preparation.
The resulting product is known as
Sierra Leone niggers." or "konakry."
This rubber is in large balls, consist
ing of strips carefully wound together,
varying in size from that of an orange
to that of a mans head. The rolling
process Is done while the strips are
fresh, and they become one compact
ball. Rubber treated thus is Of red
dish color, for which reason the balls
are known as red nigSers. s."-Harpers

Unseemly Haste.-Walter ]. knight,
who has a fund of good darky stories,
surrendered this one yesterday:
Jason, black as the ace of spades,
was tried for murder in Mississippi,
and found guilty. He was led before
the judge on a sultry day late in July
for sentence.
JASON said the court, you have
been found guilty of murder by jury
of your peers Have you anything to
say before sentence is imposed upon
you?"
Jason had nothing to say. There
was a pause, and the judge proceeded.
1T therefore becomes my painful
duty to sentence you to be hanged by
the neck until you are dead on the 18th
day of August"
There was another pause, and ia
son, shifting from one foot to the 9TH

THIEVES WHO HIDE THEIR LOOT
Recovered Later, and the Ex-CrimInaI
Lives In Wealth..

II is well known to the police that
there are a number of eX-convicts
who are literally rolling in riches and
driving about London and the prov
inces today in their own motor cars
and carriages, said a detective to the
writer the other day. The majority
of these men are old embeZZlers and
there seems to be little doubt that
they are able to live we'll and keep
going lavishly furnished residences
because the money they stole was
hidden by them before being arrest
ed and sent to prison.
1t may surprise you to know that
thousands of pounds worth of va'ua-
BILE property looted by thieves from
various sources lies buried in odd
corners of Britain and will probably
only be recovered by the men them
selves on their release. Cases are
constantly occurring where an en-
bezzler after running off with large
sum in gold refuses to divulge the
hiding place or MS Ill gotten gains
He is sent to prison and the loot re-
mains uncovered. In nine cases out
of ten the embeZZler finding arrest
imminent buries his stolen property
and digs it up again when he comes
out of prison.
A man who was for many years an
of of -
living in affluence i'm a town up north.
He was imprisoned for embezzling
10000 from his employer and he de-
clared at the trial that he had spent
every penny of it. For some time
after his release from Jail he lived in
cheap lodging house at HoXton and
then one day he declared that he had

An American court of inquiry which
conducted its deliberations aboard the
lighthouse tender, Cangrove, while the
little cruiser Montgomery took the
Names place as guardship found that
the ship was destroyed by an explosion
outside her hull. A Spanish court
found that the explosion came from in
side. 1t opined that her forward
magazine had blown up and that the
second explosion was the waist mag
aZine. In the state of public mind no.
body in America believed the Spanish
report. There was a cry for war and
war came. Roosevelt's Rough Riders
went up Kettle Hill with the cry, Re
member the Maine" So the Texans
at the Brazos, Remember the Alamo"
Why the Delay.
The Maine sank in six fathoms of
water. For twelve years she has been
settling in the mud. At any time it
would have been a comparatively easy
job to raise her, but for some reason
the United States government would
never do this-not even to give decent
sepulcher to the bodies inside. Once,
in 1904, the Cuban government began
her removal because she was a men
ace to navigation, but here our navy
department stepped in with the an
nouncement that the wreck was United
States property, which could not be
abandoned without act of congress.
For twelve years congress declined to
pass the act Now the wreck is to be
removed. Why the long delay?
In Cuba there are people who be-
lieve that when the rusted plates are
lifted they will be found bent from the
inside out. thus tending to show that
the explosion did not come from mine
or a bomb, but from something in the
ships interior. But as the man on
the Malecon says, "Quien sabe?"
