JAP PANESE DROWN
!. in SUBMARINE BOAT
Commander Writes Letter to
Emperor Expressing Sor-
row for Losing Vessel

VICTORIA, B. c., May 7.-While
Commander Sakuma and his IA men
were dying under the sea on the
drowned submarine No. s during the
Japanese naval maneuvers off Kure,
April Is, the commander wrote a let
ter to the emperor, begging forgive
ness for loss of the vessel and COM
mending his officers and men. The
letter was found after the submarine
had been raised
The submarine was of the newest
type and was engaged near Hiro-
shima bay, carrying out its part in the
maneuvers, being submerged 1,S00
yards east of its parent ship. Two
hours passed without notice of the
submarines failure to rise, and the
usual naval signals being unanswered,
a boat was lowered and efforts made
to locate the submarine.
Seven destroyers were ordered to the
scene and search made. The subma-
rine was located April IS, and next day
she was refoated and towed to Kure.
After the craft was docked examina-
tion revealed the bodies of the crew
of 15 and also the record of the com
mander, telling what happened from
the time the vessel sunk.
SORROW OF VICTIMS
Much of the message was not pub
lished but it is stated that Lieutenant
Sakuma expressed sorrow to the en-
peror for loss of his vessel and brother
officers and crew, whom he praised for
their heroiSm and calm wait for death,
and he requested the emperor to sue
cor their families.
The last writing was made an hour
and twenty minutes after the boat was
submerged and conveyed messages of
and friends, stating that breathing had
become so difficult that further writing g
was impossible.
The letter said that one of the crew
had tried to close the valve of the
ventilation pipe. but the chain had
broken. He tried to close the valve
with his hand, but was too late.
WATER PREVENTS ESCAPE
Water began to enter by the rear
part of the boat, which fell % degrees.
The dynamo was submerged and all the
lights went out, bad gas accommodating
almost simultaneously and making
breathing difficult.
The crew drove the current of water
from the main tank and tried to get
rid of it by hand pumps. They were
drenched as they worked, and chilled.
The message ended with statements
that all were ready for death, realizing g
that no more could be done, and they
hoped for forgiveness for the loss of
the vessel. The submarine was being
tested on a gasoline semisubmerged
voyage.

SHOOTS LOVER TO
PROVE AFFECTION
Young Woman Wounds Fiance
Because He Was About to
Enter Army

PARIS, May 7.-Enghein, the pretty
suburban watering place of Paris,
famous for its casino, it's miniature
imitation of Monte Carlo gambling ta-
bles, and it's lake, has been the scene
of a tragic love affair between young
woman and a, still younger man. He,
in fact, is just 20, while she is 80 years
of age. They had fallen in love with
each other, but, of course, the usual
disappoin tment came when the young
man, who had not yet done his military
service. had to leave for the army.
To get through with it quickly, he
applied to be enlisted early, but this,
instead of pleasing his sweetheart
he was only anxious to leave her, and
purchased revolver, as if that We're
going to improve matters.
After a pleasant boating excursion on
the lake she timidly drew out her re-
volver when under the shade of the
dropping willow trees and told him il
was her last hope She would commit
suicide if he left her. He tried to dis
suade her, but she became only more
enthusiastic, and thought that perhaps
it would be we'll if he also committed
suicide.
This idea did not suit the young
man at all, and he snatched the re-
volver from her. Unfortunately, he did
not throw it into the lake, which would
have avoided further difficulties. The
melancholy young woman had, unper-
ceived by him, got hold of the re-
volver again, and this time she made
use of it to fire a shot at him. He
was wounded in the neck, but, gallant
young man that he was, he forgave
her, and went home to bed without say
ing anything. He tried in vain to
sleep, and in the morning a doctor had
to be called, when it was found that
the bullet had remained in his head
and was lodged behind the right eye.
1t was extracted with great difficulty.
About the same time the young
woman drove up to the police station
and accused herself of having mur-
dered her lover. She said that she
had intended to commit suicide imme-
diately afterward, but she had not had
the courage to do so. The police COM
missioner believed that the poor young
woman had lost her reason, but an
inquiry soon showed him that if she
had not killed her lover she had come
very near it, Still, the exemplary fu-
ture soldier has refused to lodge a
complaint against her. The bullet in
his head had proved to him that she
was really fond of him. This, at least,
is his view of the matter

LIBERALS WELL PREPARED
Curiously enough, the liberals from
the financial point of view are in a bet
ter position for an election than the
tories.
AS TO the Irish party. it looks with
comparative equanimity on the election
so far as money is concerned. 1t had
to spend on the last election all the
$4,000 raised by me during my recent
mission. but, on the other hand, the
splendid spirit created by Redmond's
determined policy on the fight against
the lords reused such enthusiasm in
the Irish race both at home and in all
parts OF the world that money is COM
ing in at rate unknown for several
years.
OF course, another attempt may be
made by the tories and the factionists
to deplete the funds of the party by
useless and veXatious contests. Will

HEALY'S SEAT UNSAFE
Healy also is very insecure in Louth,

kept very quiet for eight weeks and
was in the negotiations with O'Brien
about the budget, and altogether played
the part of the good young man who

lin hearty sympathy with Redmond and
the Irish party. But when O'Brien re-
solved to oppose Redmond and the
budget Healy, in fit of temper threw
of the mask and made a bitter and
even brutal attack on Redmond. This,
people believe, has sealed his doom. He
further injured himself by some words
which sounded dangerously like the
abandonment of home rule. / think
Redmond will come back stronger from
another election than he is today.
