SPIRITUALISTS SEARCH
FOR SHIPWRECKED
Claim to Have Received Communication
That the Spanish Steamer Val
banera Was Still Afoat.

Havana, Sunday, Sept % Chartered
by members Of the Dr. Antonio Yaletti
society, an organization of Spiritualists,
a tugboat is expected to leave this port
shortly in search of the long overdue
Spanish steamship Valbanera, which Of
fetal reports declare sank recently near
Key West, with the probable loss Of all
on board.
The Spiritualists claim to have re-
ceived communication at a recent Sc
ance from the spirit of DR.. Valetti that
the Valbanera still was afoat near Cape
Sal. They declare it their belief that
the steamship still is helplessly drifting
at sea and that while many of those on
board have perished, 30 survivors have
been picked up by small schooner
which is proceeding to some distant port
The members of the society say they
intend to carry out their plan for
search unless the spirit Of DR. Valetti in
tervenes and counsels abandonment of
fhe voyage. Carrier pigeons are to be
taken along as means of communica
tion with the shore, the tug having no
wireless equipment.

only undesirable but Impractical" the
committee recommends that the large
steel vessels be sold only as the develop

sale OF such ships confined to American
firms and made at current world market
prices. Immediate disposal Of the small
