Capt. Allen Mcintyre.

Capt. Allen Mcintyre of Chicago ar
rived in Palatka on Wednesday and as
has been his custom for many years
will divide his time during the winter
between Palatka and Interlachen.
While in Palatka Capt. Mcintyre
stops at the Kupperbusch Hotel. He
was until the infrmities of age and a
fat pocket book made it no longer ne
cessary, the captain of one of the lar
gest passenger steamers plying on
the great lakes, and his run was
from Chicago to Duluth. Capt. Nc
lntyre is one of the best known among
the old-time great lakes captains, ard
his popularity, gained while in com
mand of great steamboats,, las been
sufficient to keep his personality
green through all the years following
his retirement. Capt. Allen Mcln-
tyre of Chicago whose word of COM
mand in many a storm has reached
out over the ship and spread conf
dence among terrified passengers! He
was great in the days of his prime
and power, and he is great and kind
and manly in these days of feebleness
and the infirmities of age.

St Johns. N. F., Feb. 5.-All the

thrown overheard before she could be
floated from a submerged ledge on
which she had been forced by great
ice foe off the north coast Of New.

SENATE LEADERS
sTAvE OFF VOTE
ADMINISTRATION Is FIGHTING
AGAINST TIME IN EFFORT TO
SAVE SHIP PURCHASE BILL.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.--Demo-
cratic leaders in the senate in a further
effort to save the administration ship
purchase bill are considering new lines
of action. Outnumbered by the OPP
position the majority leaders yester-
day failed to carry out their plan to
recommit the bill with instructions for
amendment.
The new plan is to recommit the
bill without instructions so as to bring
it up again on motion to discharge
the committee If it failed to return
the measure with amendments recon-
mended by the caucus. Some Of the
leaders favor this plan If assured Of
enough votes to carry it.
Meantime, the democratic leaders
are waiting for the return here next
week Of two democratic senators
Newlands and Smith of South Caro-
lima. Then with the vote 4S to 48,
on a motion to recommit the bill with
instructions to amend, they will count
on Vice President Marshall to break
the tie In their favor.

RESCUE PLANS ARE
NOT MADE PUBLIC
U. S. FEARS GERMAN WARSHiPS
WILL LEARN OF PLIGHT OF
JAPANESE CRUISER.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Rescue
measures for the Japanese cruiser
Asama, ashore and breaking up on the
Lower California coast, were cloaked
in secrecy here today to protect the
neutrality of the United States.
On the theory that information of
the disabled Japanese ship might be-
come available to German men-of-war
in the Pacific, the navy department
kept secret its latest dispatches from
Rear Admiral Howard, commander of
the Pacific fleet, sent from his flag
ship, the cruiser San Diego, in the
neighborhood Of Ensenada, and refus-
ed information of the movements OF
the American men-of-war going to the
Asama's aid.
It vas believed here, however, that
first aid would be given by the cruis'
er Raleigh. The San Diego, crippled
BY recent boiler explosion, would be
unable to make fast time to the wreck
near Turtle bay.
Crew Reported Saved.
Toxic, Feb. 5.-An official report re.
ceived in Toxic on the loss of the
Japanese cruiser Asama of the west
ern coast OF lower California, says
that all the officers and members OF
the crew of the warship have been
saved.
The Asama struck an uncharted
rock of the northwestern coast of the
Mexican republic. The extent of the
damage to the steamer is not known,
nor can anything be said as to the
probabilities of saving her. The
absence in Toxic Of direct news from
the Asama suggests that her wireless
has been disabled

Berlin, Feb. 5-The newspapers of
Berlin have begun the publication of a
series of articles on the German navy
and it's activities by Otto Won Gott-
berg, well known German writer. It
evidently Ia his purpose to give eye
witness accounts of engagements at
sea, for in the first of his publications
he makes use of description of the
engagement in the North sea of Jan.
"a, in which the German cruiser
Bluecher went down, as obtained from
the men who took part In this fight.
with the exception of the Bluecher
the cruiser Seydlitz was the only Ger
man vessel to sustain any real injury.
as result of the two hour lombard
ment from the British feet writes
Herr Won Gottberg, "the British were
firing at an extreme range They kept
at this distance in order to be protect
cd from the fire Of our secondary bat
teries. This probably is the reason
that the shell which struck the Sey-
dlitz and the other which struck the
battleship Dernlinger were virtually
without force The blows they gave
were so weak that it has not been
necessary to replace the armor plates.
"The shell which caused the fire on
the Seydlitz pierced the foundations of
turret and detonated some ammuni-
ton on board. This caused fire and
loss of life in the turret Otherwise
the Seydlitz was not damaged and her
fighting ability was restored as soon
as this fire was extinguished. The
German squadron was damaged SO lit
tie that the admiral in command has
not found it necessary to dock a single
ship. The patching of the SeydGtz
took only a few days"
