SAN DOMINGO DEMONSTRATION
AIMED AT BLACK REPUBLIC.
Naval Department Heads Declare Next
Congress Must Increase Marine
Corps 5000 Men. r

Washington, D. C.-Haiti, the
BLACK republic" is the real target Of
the armed demonstration by American
marines in Santo Domingo ordered by
the president, officials here admitted.
Action in Haiti similar to that taken
in Nicaragua is deemed almost GER
tain. Within three weeks the marines
will be on Haitian soil, ostensibly to
protect Dominican custom houses.
Navy department heads declared
that congress must increase the
marine corps next winter, possibly
5000 e The Nicaraguan expedi-
ton required about 1000 men. There
now are about $500 privates in the
marine corps, a large proportion of
whom are stationed on the Pacific
coast. With the opening of the Pan.
anna canal and increased disturbances
in Latin-America, they say 5000 more
marines are deemed necessary.

VESSEL Sinks; Il ESCAPE
ORE STEAMER GOES DOWN IN
LAKE SUPERIOR.
Crew Works for Hours to Keep Craft
Aioat-Fishlng Boat Picks Up
Shipwrecked Sailors.

Marquette, Mich.-Captain Henry
Richardson and his crew of six.
teen narrowly escaped death when the
steamer Culligan sank in Lake Su.
perior twenty miles west of Grand Isl.
and.
The sailors were tossed about for
several hours in small boats until res
cued by the fishing tug Columbia.
The Culligan, laden with ore, was
thirty miles from shore when it
sprang a leak and began to go down
by the head. For several hours the
crew worked desperately at the
pumps. but the rough sea and the
cargo were too much to be overcome.
All those aboard took two small
boats and got away from the sinking
vessel.
The waves ran so high that the
sailors had difficulty in keeping
afloat. wind drove the water
ever the sL4Twrecked men almost cor
stantly. An attempt was made to
row towards Grand Island, but no
Roadway could be made.
After the men had become exhaust
ed the fishing tug Columbia came up
and took all aboard. The Columbia
stood by until the ore ship sank. The
last dive of the freighter was spec
tacular. Rearing her stern, gradually
at first and then rapidly, the Culligan
plunged downward.
