 We had very big funeral service for those who lost their lives All of the sailors attended the services and marched down to the dock with the bodies, the band playing the mourn full funeral dirge. The chaplain read the service. As the bodies were low cred into a waiting barge to be taken to the SOlace, a squad of men fired three shots as a salute and the ships bugler sounded taps
 The Memphis went aground about 100 yards from shore and every swell carried Us in a little and tipped her over a little more. It was not until we had been washed in to about forty yards from shore that the old boat stuck fast, and then it was held there by two big pinnacle rocks, puncturing the bottom and going up through the sides of the vessel. When we finally succeeded in getting a five-inch line ashore everybody gave a big cheer of relief, even the natives. The marines did excellent work for us and the natives did too, getting us hot coffee and whisl1ey and all the cab drivers in the place were on hand to take the SICK or IuJuIeu to IH0 nOSp1Cal ana others to the fort. Here is what the wreck did: Eight killed in the en- gineering force; thirty drowned from the little launch; five washed over- board from the Memphis and drowned and number badly scalded and some may not live.

 The little steamer and kicker that was tied to a boom alongside the Memphis when the storm broke had to put right out to sea with it's full crew, nine men all told. Young liar ris Bryan of New Britain among them. Four of the men saved them selves by swimming ashore. Only the more husky men could do this as is was f1ve-mile swim, Young Bryan was one of this number and he was picked up on the beach some distance up the coast and carried into the fort by friendly native. He was badly battered by the sea and rocks and his head was cut and one arm badly bruised. He has been sent back to the States on the Solace. Becker was saved without a scratch and so was Tom. Our admiral was on shore when the storm broke and, when he saw his ship drifting towards the

rocks he is said to have broke down and cried For Gods sake save the boys-to hell with everything else There were some exciting scenes along the shore and the marines say that the natives, always high strung and nerv- ous, went into mysteries and began to cry and tear their hair when they saw the ship founder.

Albert Wagner Sends Home Re-
 port Of Catastrophe

Police Officer and Mrs. Fred Wagn eg of 21O Glen street have received long letter from their son, Albert, who was a member of the crew of tho U. s. $. Memphis, wrecked at Santo Domingo harbor in which he tells at length of the disaster The local sailor writes in part as follows:
 Small Boat Capsizes.
 we were laying about 750 yards out and we had a liberty party Ga rec reation party) ashore and had just sent a kicker Cor motor sailor) ashore to get the recreation party when sudden tropical storm came up. We took down all awnings and put in the gun shutters. We Were having hard time and big six inch shells that had got loose were rolling around the decks under and over our feet as we worked, when we sighted the kicker coming out of the river with boatload of our shipmates. The little boat rode the first swell all right, but the second comber broke over it and then all we could see was a line
  green water.
 '"The gunboat Castine, which had her propellers going astern at full speed without making any progress turned to full speed ahead when the kicker capsized in a vain attempt to save our mates. She threw all her life buoys over and lost all her lifeboats, but could save no one. Finally her steering gear broke and the boat had to turn to the open sea and be steered by the propellers
 '"To give an idea of the severity of the storm and the size of the waves. Every time the f1remen down in the hold of the Memphis lighted the fires, big waves would roll over the ship, forcing water down the smoke stacks and drowning the fires. The practice had been to keep No. 1 fire going all the time and to light the others only [ for emergency or when we wanted to go. No. boiler was only sufficient to turn the engines over, so it was impossible to get under headway.

AN ENYIOUS NEIGHBOR.

Our esteemed friend Victor Z. Dow
editor of the Greeley Home Press,
seems to have had his sense of mod
esty shocked while attending the Man.
chester Jubilee last week Editor Dow
says that Manchester should be proud
of the free attractions" Brother
Dow also refers to the fact that al
legged dips" were relieving the Wis
itors for what change they might have
after they had patronized the pike .
If so called dips" can operate sue
cessfully in other places what would
hinder them from doing so in a crowd
in Manchester? We are inclined to
think that Brother Dow is just a tri-
fie jealous of the Manchester CONNER
cial club in pulling off one Of the most
successful entertainment features ev-
er undertaken by a similar organiza-
ton in eastern Iowa. The members
Of the Manchester Commercial club
were on the grounds in goodly num-
bers during the three days jubilee,
and spared no efforts in seeing to it
that the effair was conducted in such
q way as becomes business men, and
the complaint of Editor Dow is the
first one to come this way.
