AMMON BOX IS FOUND Bayonets Reduced to Rust as Result of Galvanic Action Between Steel and Brass Cases. Havana.—As the remains of the battleship Maine gradually rise above the slowly lowering level of the water within the cofferdam, the first dis coveries are most interesting. A curious relic of the great disas ter has been found. The explorers recovered plates and other china ware in the afficers' quarters. Some pieces were identified later as parts of the dinner service of the captain and wardroom mess. All were in a good state of preservation and were found piled up as they had been left by the stewards after the last dinner. In the afternoon the searchers found on the spar deck, adjacent to j the port turret, a small ammunition ’ box. such as is customarily distribut ed about the decks. This contained a mass of six millimetre cartridge clips for the naval service rifle and a number of short knife bayonets in metallic leather covered scabbards. The clips of cartridges were well pre served, but the steel bayonets were i reduced to almost unidentifiable mass ; es of rust around which were cling i ing shreds of leather sackings. The disintegration of the bayonets ; is believed to have been the result | of galvanic action between the steel and the brass cartridge eases in the medium of sea water. This gives rise to speculation regarding the ef fect of galvanic action on portions of the hull still under water, on which depends greatly the possibility that t the hull may not retain sufficient j strength to warrant the expectation of floating out any portion. Pathetically interesting was the dis covery of an offieer's dress sword j found behind the forward port side 1 door leading from the officers' quar ! ters to the spar deck. This door was found closed, but on being forced open the sword was seen upright in the cor ner. The inference is thaj some offi cer hastening to the deck on the first alarm, and buckling on his sword as he ran, was compelled to abandon it and escape in the rush of water over the spar deck. The bronze sword hilt was well preserved, but only attached by shreds of the sword knot to the blade, which was merely a ribbon of rust enclosed in a black leather scab bard. The only possibility of identi fying the sword is the chance that some officer may recollect having abandoned the weapon. A curious indication of the slight force of the explosion felt in the af ter part of the ship was an electric bulb hanging intact from the roof of the superstructure. Exploration of the interior eontin ues to be interrupted by masses ot mud and rubbish. Only the clearing of portions of the roof of the after superstructure has been completed, showing the effects of the fire on the charred oak planks. Other indications of fire are observed abound the comb ing of the spar deck, supposed to be adjacent to the gallery on the port side, in which cooking utensils are visible. AVIATORS MEET DEATH. Two Dead and One Seriously Injured Soon After Start. Paris.—Fifty aviators took wing early Sunday from the aviation field at Vincennes on the first stage of the European circuit race, which calls for a flight to London and return with stops at various places going and re turning. Two of the aviators almost immediately after the start met with tragic deaths and at least one was seriously hurt. The dead are: Captain Princetau, whose motor ex ploded in midair, flooding him with gasoline and burning him to death. M. Le Martin, who dashed against a tree, the motor of his aeroplane crush ing his head. M. Gaubert, a former lieutenant in the army, who wa3 entered in the civilian race under the name “Dal ger.” He was found lying senseless near his machine in a wheat field four miles from Villars-Coterets. His injuries are serious. Battle With Miami Indians. Wabash, Ind.—The famous battle of 1812 between the United States troops and Miami Indians will be reproduced here next year. The bat tle was the last engagement with the redskins in Indiana. Five hundred men and women, including 100 Mi ami Indians, still living here, will participate. Railways Are Overpaid. Washington.—“Many of the rail roads of the country are being over paid for transporting the mails. I be lieve that a saving of approximately $9,000,000 a year to the government can be made without injustice to the carriers by readjusting the pay on a basis of a 6 per cent profit to all rail ways carrying the mails.” Postmaster General Hitchcock thus summarized briefly the results of his investigation into the cost of railway mail transport tation under an old law that Is still in operation. AVIATOR IS ATTACKED BY A FURIOUS EAGLE M. GILBERT SHOOTS BIRD THAT REPEATEDLY SWOOPS DOWN ON THROBBING MACHINE. Alsasqua. Spain.—Aviator Gilbert, after a battle with an eagle at a height of four thousand feet, landed here second in the Paris-Madrid race for $20,000. In his flight over the Cantabrian mountains, while soaring at a lofty height, a monster gray eagle attached Gilbert, swooping down on the aero plane and beating the aviator with beak and taions. Gilbert's aeroplane required all his attention because of treacherous air ' currents over the mountains. The ma- i !! Esgie Attacks Aviator. r I chine was at a height of 4.0C0 teet, j : with the eouiftry lying dim beneath. : The great bird circled round and ' round the aeroplane, evidently think- j ng It a new anfl monster member of ; he bird family. Finally Gilbert man aged to draw his revolver and fired '■ ;wo shots at the eagle, driving It off. When the aviator lauded here he de- ; :lared the aerial battle with the giant 1 uird had given him the most exciting : | moments of his career. At one time the eagle attacked him ' so fiercely, he said, that the aviator bad to take his hands off the levers and momentarily lost control of the machine. It was at this time that the | Intrepid airman drew his revolver. The first shot went wild, but fright ened the bird, and the second struck ' It. Gilbert regained control of his machine just in time to keep it from ! crashing to the ground. NAILS TALKING GIRL TO CHAIR Unusual Kind of Assault and Battery Charged Against New Jersey Man.

NOW ONTHE STAGE FLORA SACKVILLE-WEST BE COMES A DANCER BEFORE LONDON THEATERGOERS. FATHER ONCE IN WASHINGTON Public Appearance of This Daughter of a Former British Ambassador to the United States Revives the Sackville-West Scandal. London.—It is quite a common thing nowadays for titled folks to go on the stage. The latest one to adopt this profession is the Hon. Flora Sackville West, daughter of a former British ambassador at Washington. Lord Sack ville was British minister to the Uni ted States in 18SS. He was recalled by the British government because he advised a naturalized American citizen how he should vote in a presidential election. Miss Sackville-West inher its her talent for dancing from her mother, the beautiful Josefa Duran, a Spanish dancer, around whose shadowy figure the Sackville peerage case raged about two years ago. A few years ago all England was ringing with the scandal of her fath er's life, during a suit instituted by her brother to establish his and his sis ters' legitimacy. The suit failed, the English courts holding that Sackville West had never acknowledged the legitimacy of his union with their mother. Josefa Durand de Ortega, a Spanish dancer and actress, and that the children were not entitled to a share in the estate. The romance of Lord Sackville-West and Josefa Durand de Ortega startled England at the time, and the appear ance of their daughter on the stage is reviving echoes of the old scandal. Sackville-West. in 1864, was secretary of the British legation at Madrid. He was thirty-seven years old; the incom parable Josefa, on whose twinkling toes hung the admiration of the town, was five years younger, in the full. Flora Sackville-West. ripe bloom of her dazzling charms. For a month or so her other adorers gritted the teeth of wrathful envy while she continued to dance and per mitted her English gallant alone to pay her his addresses. Then she dis appeared utterly from the stage. The secretary of the legation began to have disappearances, too. It was an open secret that he passed those inter vals with Josefa In a handsome villa near the Chateau d’Arcachon, on the outskirts of Bordeaux, where his in amorata was domiciled. But, to soci ety and diplomacy, that made not the slightest difference. He was a bache lor; he was immensely wealthy; he entertained lavishly; hadn't half the world just some such delightful secret as he? Lord Lionel's diplomatic career went on with steady advancements, and his relations with Josefa continued. He maintained her in luxury, and pro vided generously for the care and ed ucatlon of their children. But never did he consent to legitimatize them; never did he give to the radiant Josefa the right to be known as Lady Sack ville-West. He died, legally unmarried, and his next of kin, after the brief and scan dalous battle in the English courts over the estate, came Into the posses sion of the fortune and occupied mag niflcent Knole house, which is one of the great mansions of England. So that is why graceful, pretty, poor Flora Sackville-West is dancing like an entrancing hour! of the east on the stage of a London theater. While in Washington Sackville West’s two daughters were with him and he introduced them into society. No one there suspected that there was any question as to their legitimacy,
