German naval officers at Bremen
haven are quoted as saying that the
German cruiser Karlsruhe lies in the
bottom Of the sea In the West Indies
by Jesse Boyd, second officer OF the
American steamship Carib, sunk by a
mine in the North sea. Boyd reached
New York yesterday from Rotterdam
on steamship Rotterdam, and said he
spent five days at Bremerhaven, n
through an old friend, who Is an Of
ficer in the German navy, obtained
positive information that the German
raider is sunk. The Karlsruhe, accord
ing to Boyd's information, struck q
reef in December and unsuccessful
efforts were made to float her. Wnen
it seemed certain she would be found
by the enemies warships 1t was de-
cided to destroy her. The crew was
taken off and placed aboard one OF the
captive ships which the Karlsruhe cor.
voyed. A bomb was placed In q vital
spot Of the cruiser and from a dis
lance the Karlsruhe officers and sail
org watched her sink as the nlp s
band played. At last the flag dipped
beneath the water, German rifles fired
a full salute to the Karlsruhe's hon
or. Some Of the Karlsruhe's crew are
said to be in Germany, while others
are believed to be either with West
Indies or South America
Mrs. Mary Anna Jackson, widow
Of Thomas Jonathan c'Stonewalr)
jackson, the famous Confederate gen.
eral, died at her home in Charlotte,
early last Wednesday morning. She
had been i'll for many months. An at
tack Of pneumonia three days ago, last
Saturday, FASTENED her death. Her
granddaughter, Mrs. Randolph Preston
and other relatives were at Mrs. jack
sons bedside when she died. Public
buildings, schools and business houses
were closed yesterday on account OF
the funeral which took place at Lex
ington Va, the body being laid by the
side Of her husband. Mrs. Jackson was
born near Charlotte, July 81, 1881, the
daughter Of the Rev. Robert a Nor
rison, a Presbyterian minister and
founder of Davidson college. She at
tended Salem (North Carolina) acad-
envy and college, finishing in 1S49. Her
marriage took place in July, 1851.
Jackson was hen a major, serving as
instructor in Virginia Military institute
at Lexington. She became a close
student Of military tactics and always
took extreme interest in the fortunes
Of the Confederate armies. After her
husband died of u in 1858, she
wrote a volume Of memories OF his
career. General and Mrs. Jackson had
two children, both daughters. One
died in infancy and the other married

in 1889, she left a daughter who be-
came the wife Of E. r. Preston, a
Charlotte attorney, and a son, Thomas
Jackson Christian, a lieutenant in the
United States cavalry stationed In
the Philippines. Mrs. Jackson's last
days were spent at the old Jackson
homestead in Charlotte. She had been
i'll for many months and suffered a re-
lapse on Wednesday.
Though the Russian fleet is no
prevented from occasionally appearing
before the B~osphorus, nor the French
and British men-of-war from occa-
sionally taking a pot-shot at some
point along the coast near the Oar
danelles, II is difficult to realize that
Constantinople is the solar pleXus OF
a country at war with three or the
greatest nations Of Europe. There are
those who insist that the population
Of Turkey is apathetic towards the
war. 1t is certain the people of that
city are highly undemonstrative'
Taiaat Bey, minister of the interior,
minister Of finance, minister Of marine,
and up to a few days ago minister OF
war, told the Associated Press CORE
spondent that the Turkish public never
had welcomed any war with as much
enthusiasm as the present one. The
statement seems extraordinary in view
Of observations made In the streets and
other places where the quiet loving
Turks congregate. But there is nc
doubt hat the a even If not ex-
tremely popular, is at least accepted
as a sor of grim necessity. Bread is
% per cent higher than ii used to be
and cheese and olives have doubled in
price. Coal is extremely scarce and
Of poor quality, and petroleum is high
in price and hard to get. Despite all
this the people seem to be cheerful
enough. In and around ~ConStantinople
is quartered a large force of military,
While the attitude Of Bulgaria gives
rise to no apprehension, Greece Is
doubted, To say the least: nor is there
assurance that the forces Of the Triple
Entente will not attempt a landing
near Constantinople. To meet this
contingency is the Quty OF SOME SIN
army corps stationed in and abou,
the capital. Almost daily part Of this
garrison marches through the streets
well uniformed and equipped az 8
rule. Through the city also move
large army supply trains. The wag-
ons are we'll kept in a majority OF
cases and the animals appear too goo6
for the hard work they are called up
on to do. All in all, Constantinople Is
a rather restful place in these times Of
stress, say the oldest European resi-.
dents. Needless to say the many re-
ports of riots and ~bloodShed are pure
inventions. The capital in fact has new
er been quieter thar at present oil
better managed.
