An officers dress sword was founu
behind the forward portside door
leading from the officers quarters to
the spar deck The inference is that
some officer Fastening to the deck ana
buckling on his sword as ne ran, was
compelIed to abandon 1t and escape
I'm the rush of water over the spar
deck. A curious indication OF the
slight force of the explosion felt In the
afterpath of the ship, was an electric
light bulb hanging intact from the
roof of the superstructure. EXplora-

terrupted by masses of mud and rup-

Robbers last Saturday broke into
the home of Mrs Morando in the low
er East Side of New York city, tlea
a rope about her neck and murdered
her by lightning the rope with SUCK
after the manner Of the garrote. Then
they lacerated her ears by tearing out
the diamond earrings and TOOK from
her fingers four diamond rings. Mrs;
Morando, who was about 40 years ola
and the wife of a prosperous mer-
chant. had sent her two small child
rem out to play when two men raped
on her door. When she opened the
door they attacked her. Her l4-year
old son, coming back from play an
hour later, found the door locked, ana
entered the apartments through hre
escape. He found his mother deau
and the fiat looted. His cries sum,
moned the neighbors. The rooms hao
been ransacked, and the ponce peiieVe
that the robbers obtained more than
the Jewels taken from Mrs. Morando
body.
THE silver wedding celebration OF
President and Mrs. Taft, the second
that has been held in the White
House. came to an end last night with
the reception on the White House
lawn. Invitations had been sent 10
close to $4,000 persons and 1t was es-
timated that at least 5000 were pres
ent. Never in the history OF the ma
ton probably has such a tunctioh
been held in Washington. The dlplp-
matte corps, the United States su-
preme court, the senate and the
house of representatives, the depart
ments of the government, the men
who are high in political AFFAIRS OF
the country the army, the navy anu
every walk in life almost were rep.
resented. The cool, clear night tnat
made a reception in the open ar pos
sible prevented the crush that tns
White House for days has been :a1raiu
of and maze the
brilliant and unusual but dellgnt1ul III
every respect. The guests would nave
Allied the White House to overnowlns
but the White House grounds are am

THE steamer Ypiranga, with Gen.
porfrio. DiaZ, ex-president or Mexico
aboard. sailed from Santander, SPAN
last SATURDAY. for Plymouth, England
Several tugs fiying the Mexican colors
en6 crowded with cheering people es-
corted the steamer for several miles.
General Diaz said the friendly demon
strations at Spanish ports had coIl-
forted him greatly in his oltter eXLle.

after a few months rest l shall tuin
my steps to the peninsula l speaA
onlv Spanish and am too old TO De-
Gin the study of foreign languages;
Howeyer, nothing has been decided
upon. 1 shall make up my mind IN
Paris, where I go direct from
Hayre." A member Of General DlaZ
suite said the principal reason Tor the
visit to Paris was to consult speclal-
ist with reference to the abcess from
which General Diaz still suners great
ly. II abandoned power, SAID Gen
eral Diaz, when 1 became convinced
that nothing but war lasting at ieaSt
wear would put down the revolution.
I wished to prevent the spilling or the
blood of the children Of my country
in the fratricidal struggle and above
all to avoid the possibility OF an inter-
national conflict, or even representa-,
tions from foreign powers l Wlsneo
TO avoid the weakening OF the natlonal
credit and the dissatisfaction OF 1or-

THE governments new three per
cent $5O,000,000 loan is complete
success. Thousands of bids opened
last Saturday and since show that the
loan was more than three times over
subscribed. Before the opening of the
bids had been in progress half an hour
treasury officials declared that the
loan would be entirely taken by com
paratiVely small investors at price
higher than 1924. The prices for the
new bonds are taken to indicate that
The national credit Of the united
States is the highest in the world
bonds of England, France and Ger,
many are selling at discount ana
MANY financiers believed that the new
Panama loan would bring little above
par. The prices of these new securl-
ties, available for investment only, are
taken to reflect the financial condition
of the nation. The bona tide bldS re-
ceived will total about S17O,OOO,OOO.
or that amount $2,300,0OO was sub
scribed at per cent or more; $S2,-
100000 at over 102.5O; $1,000, OOO at
between 101.50 and 102.5O, and $52,-
600, 900 at 102 and under. The sue
II ND flna a.
they will receive are as follows. Har-
vey Fiske & Sons of New York, $1O,-
600, 900; Hanover National Bank Of
New York, $4,600,000; American Ex-
change National Bank of New York,
$3,10O,00O; William A. Read &. Co.,
of New York, $1,000,000; Seaboard
National Bank of New York, $6OO,OOO;
National Park Bank of New York,

Bank of Chicago, $350,000; Hibernia
Savings and Loan company or san
Francisco, $300,000; Seattle Nation
al Bank, Seattle, Washington 100000.
The majority of what remains avail
able below these sums goes to small
bidders scattered all over the country.
If the prices of the bonds average
lO2.5O, as treasury officials think 1t
WILL they will yield to the investor 2.9O
per cent. The National City Bank of
New OTh WHICH ulu lOI liC "iOiS
issue at prices varying from 100.105 to
1O2.50, will not get any of the new
bonds. Neither will Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., who bid for $l0,000,000.
While it is not likely that there
will be any definite action taken by
congress during the special session in
regard TO the express companies of the
country, ii is certain that at the reg
ular session the matter will be pushed
with vigor, writes the Washington
correspondent of the News and
Courier Many members of congress
hesitate to declare for parcels post
system, but nearly all entertain de-
sire to force the express companies to
lower their rates, to divorce them
from the domination Of the railroads
and to compel them to perform the
services now advocated for the parcels
