Washington, May 81 Coincident
with the news that a big presidential
boom is being engineered for James r.
Mann, of Chicago, minority leader OF
the House, the Saloon League of
America has declared war on Mann's
candidacy.
General Superintendent Baker, of the
Anti-Saloon league, has issued a state
ment declaring that the united temper
ance forces Will oppose Mann because
he led the fight against the Hobson
prohibition amendment. MIR. Baker
charges the Mann candidacy has its
birth with the liquor interests and that
if the republican party wants to in
sure its defeat in advance the way to
do it is to nominate Mann"
Mann's supporters are giving wide
circulation to a petition requesting him
to become a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for president. The
plan is to have a special train meet him
at Denver when he returns from Hon
olulu, to have his candidacy then an
nounced and active work then under
taken for him.
The James r. Nam for president
committee" engineered by Illinois pol

ITALIAN TORPEDO
BOAT DESTROYED
Rome Admits Loss of Craft In
Battle Which Resulted In
Driving Off Austrian
Raiders.

Rome, via paris). May 3l.-A com
m~unication issued today by the italian
ministry of marine gives the following
details of naval losses by Austria and
Italy up to the present:
"On May "A the Austrian torpedo
boat, $50, having approached the
canal at Porto Corsini, was so severely
damaged by the fire from our masked
batteries that she was forced to be
conveyed to Pola. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer Scharfschia2c. which was OPP
Grating with $50, also was damaged,
suffering the loss of many of her crew.
She called the scout ship ova to
her assistance, which was struck sew
eral times and also had several of her
crew killed. including an officer. The
destroyer OZepel also suffered severe
losses, due to the arrival of our squad
ron during the action.
After the preceding brilliant action
we regret exceedingly to announce the
loss of our destroyer called Turbine.
She was built in 1901 n was of APP
proximately $50 tons. During the morn
ing of May "a on a tour Of re%connais-
sance, she sighted an enemy destroyer
| and gave chase. The chase lasted half
an hour. when four other eilemy war
vessels appeared, including the cruiser
Helgoland. The Turbine Immediately
| turned about to run for her naval base,
| but was STRUCK twice in her boilers,
thus reducing her speed,
She continued the battle for about
| half an hour although fire had broken
out aboard and there was q lack OF
munitions. Then the commander or
dered the water intake valves opened in
order to avoid capture. The Turbine
| commenced to sink with all her men
gathered at tie stern. the enemy keep
ing up their fire all the while.
THE commander who had been
wounded at the beginning of the battle
ordered his men to jump ovcrboard. AS
soon as the Austrians saw the maneuv
or, they launched small boats. in order
to save as many of the men as possible
Meanwhile the squadron to which the
Turbine belonged was seen approach
ing and the enemy left the small boats
in the water and departed.
"Our squadron fired several times al
the ~retreating enemy vessels and an
enemy ship of the same type of the
Tatra and also the cruiser, Helgoland
J appeared to have been struck.
mine men Of the Turbine were saved
By our fleet. From Austrian ccmmu-
nications we earn that 80 more We're
picked UP by the Austrians, including

The delay in answering the note, the

the Nebraskan was torpedoed, the adj
