drives through the capital city, beau
tiful flowers sent daily, an evening
spent together at the army and navy
ball, held at the White House, togeth-

FLANDERS HOUSE
TORN FROM HULL

According to information from an
authoritative source last night, the
house and upper works of the steam
er VIM. Flanders have broken from
the hull, and the upper works, which
also carried the smokestack, were To-
Gated in shallow water on the east
ern shore. The hull, according to
the same source Of information, has
not yet been located.
1t was reported a few days since
that the steamer, which went down
a week ago, in the hurricane had been
located, from the fact that the smoke
stack and part of the house was above
water. This appears to have been
detached from the hull, and up to last
evening there had been no definite
location of hull
Efforts will be made as quickly as
possible to locate the steamer, fol
it is believed that just as soon as the
water is pumped out, the hull viii

done with comparatively little effort
