the annual cost to the country for the

$50, O00, 900 at the rate Of $1.669 per

A few months ago Gen. Hamilton 8. Haw-
kins died. He entered the military academy
some time prior to the opening of the Civil
war; but the authorities did not allow him to
graduate. Hawkins was not discouraged by
the failure and as soon as the Civil war broke
out he offered his services to his country and
was given a commission. He staid in the reg
ular army until the time of his death and so
strong was his love of the military academy
that before his death he asked that he might
be buried In the cadet cemetery. It was Haw-
kins' custom each year when he could get
away from his command to visit the school
where he had spent three years of his boy
hood. He had Just as strong a love for the
institution as did any graduate In the army.
Recently there has been disposition on
the part of the graduates of the military acad.

who spent some time at the school, but who

New York, Sept. 3.-Forced from

losing sight for a full day with the
flames, Captain James Pinkham and
eleven of his crew are believed to
have been lost off the grand banks of
Newfoundland. The wireless today

The last seen of the missing men
for whom hope has been abandoned.
when the little craft in which they
put off from the West Point was driv-
en- away from the lifeboat that car
ried the sixteen rescued.
The fire in the West Point was dis
covered off tie banks on Wednesday,
blazing fiercely in the hold. The YES
sci was bound from Glasgow to
Charleston with wool and oil and the

ace.
Again and again the seamen and
officers were overcome by smoke.
They stood to their task till all
hope of saving the ship was gone.
Then Captain Pinkham ordered all
hands to the lifeboats. He was the
last to quit the ship. The vessel went
down soon after the crew abandoned
her.
In heavy sea, under a lowering
sky the men fought cold, hunger and
thirst as well as the elements. Then
shirt flown from an oar attracted
the attention of the Devonian two of
the men in the boat were unconscious
from exposure, and several of the 9th
ers were on the verge of collapse A
heavy fog enveloped the small boat
for hours after the West Point, roll
ing heavily and enveloped in smoke
was abandoned. The mist lifted bare
ly in time to enable the Devonian's Of
ficers to make out the small boat. The
sixteen saved declared that the West
Point went down bow first soon af-
ter the boats left her side.
