NIW YOI { , Sept. S.-The Morning Adver-
tser wi say tomorrow : When the steamer
Santiago arrived at this port about two weeks
age she reported a strange Incident. On the
first day out from Havana , while steaming
along tM Cuban coat , the lookout sighted the
hull oC what seemed to b 1 small pleasure
craft hauled up upon a stretch of sandy
beach. The rigging and spars of the vesel
were gone and a great hole had been knocked
In her port quarter. The hatchway , combings
and cabin lg'ats hall disappeared and the
vessel leaked a total wreck. ] The damage
seemed to have been domie by man , rather
than by the sea.
The wrecked vessel left Plcr No. 10 , North
river , a little over three weeks ago , In charge
of Captain Sam liiiott. She had been char-
'tered by the Cuban revolutionary party In
time United States to convey arms and ammu- ;
nlon to their compatrlotc. In the 'nol of
the vessel were stered 600 Winchester rlfel ,
1,000,000 cartridges , (00 pounds of dynamite
furnished by time American Dynamite com-
patty , and , large Iluantte oC Irovlslons and
medicines for ne d use. The crew was made
UI' oC twenty.ono young Cubans , all sons of
time wealthiest Cuban merchants In thc United
States. ACer an uneventful voyage the Cu-
ban coast was sighted one evening just at
twilight. Simultaneously the smoke of a
steamship was seen upon tie horizon. The
yacht anchored In a sm:1 cove marked upon
the chart a a coast rendezvous of the Insur-
gent army and the cargo quickly taken
ashore
The following morning the yacht slo : out
to sea. A stearer WS sighted. I was evi-

before ar1l It was discovered she was n Span-

works totally destroyed. Then the young
patriots struck for the inland where tley

I.OUSVILI.E , Iy" , Sept. S-Vlsltors poured
Into the f'als City today from the south as
well ns train the north side of the river. Vet-
erans who have attended former national en-
campments or the Grand Army of the Republic -
public say they never saw such a large attendance
temlanco on the first day oC the great re-
11lon weel All railways hall extra trains ,
which were heavily loaded. Many Sons of
Veterans are here enroutc to their national
encampment at lnoxvillo. There arc others
who never attended these encampments be-
fore and who are now enrouto to the reunion
ane
of the Army of time Tennessee at Cincinnati
and to the dedication or the National park on
the btefelo of Chickamauga , the last of
the week. This Is the third national encamp-
mont ever held south or Mason and Dixon's
lIne , and It so hallpens that three other great
events elsewhere next week may bring many
through Louisville now. There Is no doubt
of the fulfillment oC the goral prediction
that there will bo more union veterans together -
gether this week than ever beCore. The loss
by death yearly increases , but the desire to
visit the battleFIelds and confer with conCed-
crate veterans , who are doing everything to
entertain their northern visitors. has attracted -
trctee thousamls who have not heretofore
attended a national encampment.
The conCederato veterans are here In Corcl
The comrades hunt up members of their alI
regiments and brigades and then meet confederates -
federates belonging to regiments and brigades
that opposed them , when they confer about
things which occurred on both sides , and
have snch reunions as have not been seen
since the servlco of over thirty years ago
The decorations may hav been richer In
triumphal arches and other designs at one
or two encampments , but at none was a city
so profusely or generally decorated with
AmerIcan fags as Is Louisville today. Its
business blocks , public and private buildings
and homes are literally covered with festoons
oC rrd , white and blue , with the American
fag as the center piece oC every conceLvable
desIgn. The flag Is displayed and no city
ever hal more bunting out than this city
shows today. The distinctive feature of the
decorations Is the use oC the red , white and
blue to Iho exclusion or every other color ,
even time evergreen arches. The portraits of all
unIon generals are dIsplayed In unlimited
profusion. The confederate veterans participated - :
pated In all this decorating , as well as In I
