cries for help that came to my ears during
the first moments of the four hours that
I was in the river wero heartrending and
awful. I was utterly helpless to aid. I
am positive at least five persons wero
drowned nt that place. I got In a sailboat
nt Gardner's yard at u o'clock. Thero were
fifteen persons nbonrd, two negroes among
tho number. When wo got Into tho boat
every avenue of escape was cut off. Wo
got a line to the steamer Edith, which
pulled up nt tho dock. A moment later
tho line pnrted. Two bateaux were drifting
alongside and eight persons tried to get
Into them. In the panic both boats cap
sized. "I saw several go down and drown. Sev
eral of those who got out of the sailboat
were swept under the wharf at tho foot
of Market street and I think all must have
perished. 1 got to the wharf and for four
hours held to the piling, when I discovered
I was badly burned ahout tho head. I felt
n body float against my legs and tried to
lift It to tho surface, but failed.. Un
doubtedly there were many lives lost nt
the foot of Market ntreot."
Arthur Cummer of the Cummer Lumber
company told the following: "We heard
shrieks and calls for help as we steamed
from tho wharf at the lost minute. Wo
heard u number of persons were In peril
on tho wharf nnd made for tho pier again.
A sailboat was In the dock. Young
Cocksetter of St. Augustine swam to the
steamer Edith and we gave him a line.
The lino either parted or was burned, in
the samo Instant both steamer nnd boat
wcre enveloped In denso smoke. Wo got
a glimpse of tho sailboat drifting Inshore,
and then it disappeared In tho flumes. As
tho Edith Btenmed toward mid-channel to
escape we heard ngonlzed cries for help.
There Is no doubt hut that those In the
boat suffered a frightful fate. Tho crew
of the Edith reports that. It saved sixty
personswho had Jumped into tho river to

DEL 1110. Tex., May 4. The president
aud his party spent the foreuoon viewing
the sights of the quaint old city of San
Antonio, with Its historic Spanish mis-
Ions and Its thrilling memories of the war
for Texas Independence, and then started
on tho long stretch across tho Texas desert
for El I'aso, on the Mexican border. Nothing
could have been more Interesting nnd strik
ing than the contrast between tho old por
tion of San Antonio, its strungo Spanish
architecture, ancient streets filled with tho
shifting multitude, Mexicans in high-
peaked huts, their women In bright-hued
garments and cowled priests und sweet
faced nuns In sombre blnck, nnd tho mod
ern city of stately business houses and
residences, asphalted Btrcets nnd even,
swift-rolling automobiles.
The Mexican flag was prominent In the
profusion of bunting nnd banners with
which the people hail decorated their city.
Governor Saycrs, who hnd met the party
at Houston, accompanied them ncross the
state thus far to speed the president on
his Journey. At the station General Mc
Klbbcn, who Is In command of the De
partment of Texas, together with his staff,
all In full uniform, and several troops of
cavalry from Fort Sam Houston, untied
with the citizens In receiving the party.
There was not tlmo to visit the Spanish
mlslons, owing to the shortness of the
stny. but a drive took the party through
the old adobe Mexlrnn quarter, past San
Fernnndlno cathedral, built early In the
last century, where Santa Ana raised the
red flag of defiance against tho defenders
of the Alamo, then to Fort Sam Houston,
where a battery fired a salute In the presi
dent's honor. A beautiful spectacle was
In Travis square, where 14,000 school chil
dren, dressed ln white, strewed flowers
under tho wheels of the carriage occupied
by tho president nnd Mrs, McKlnley nnd
sang the national hymn.
Speak Who re lli'roei Fell.
In the main street, opposite the Alamo,
where Colonels Travis, Crockett nnd Uowle
and tho 188 heroes died to the Inst man
rather than surrender, n platform had been
erected, and here, before nn Immense as
semblage, which Included the veteran or
ganizations of the blue and the gray, tho
speaking took place. The president was
introduced by tho mayor of the city nnd
spoke as follows:
"Mr. Mayor, Governor Sayers and My Fel
low Citizens: I wish I had the voicu and
tho speech to rerpond in fitting words to the
gracious welcome given mo by your hon
ored mayor, speaking for you and In your
behalf. I am glad to be In this historic
city, on this historic spot, and receive from
you all the greeting and the goodwill which
you feel toward this great republic and
toward thn office which for a little while
by your suffrages I am permitted to fill.
(Applause.)
"Here are centuries of heroic memories.
Tho Texas people have a history of which
they can well be proud, but In the glory
of which all Americans and all lovers of lib
erty the world over want to share. (Ap
plause.) Your ancestors achieved your in
dependence by tho sword and ns I stand
hero near the Alamo, this sacred nnd his
toric place, 1 cnntiot fall to recall the names
of Crockett, Travis and Uowlo and their
heroic associates who went down after
eleven days' siege, sacrificing their lives for
liberty and Independence. (Applause.)
"These arc sacrificial glunts that cleaved
tho darknCss asunder and beckoned us
where wo nre. WhcVo they fell, devoted, but
dying, tho meanest rill, the mightiest river
rolls mingling with their fame forever.
(Applause.) I was glad to receive the wcl
como of tho Grand Army of the Republic
nnd tbo confederato veterans (great ap
plause) once more reunited and forever
(applause), each having respect for tho
courage of the other and all of us sharing
the valor nnd the heroism on both sides of
tho lino. (Great applause.) We know
what stuff each other Is mado of (applause);
the men of the south and tho men of tho
north, but wo have but one side. (Applnure.)
Wo nre solid only for the union and tho flag.
(Applause.)
Nona Slioulilcr lo Shoulder.
"Tho sons of the boys in blue and the
sons of tho hoys In gray fought side by
sldo In Cuba, I'orto Hlco and In the Philip
pines, nnd aro today shoulder to shoulder,
carrying the flag we love, spotless In its
mission of liberty nnd emancipation. (Great
applause.)
"It was a great pleasure to mo to bo re
ceived by tho nchool children of this his
toric city. As I marched through the lino
of more than fi.OOO and beard them sing
'My Country, 'TIs of Thee, Sweet Land of
Liberty,' I knew tho future of tho republic
wns sato forever. (Enthusiastic applause.)
"I want to return my thanks In the
moment I shall occupy to the peoplo of tliU
great Empire state, not alono for their
wolcomo to mo, but for their contributions
which thoy aro making for thu advanco
ment and prosperity of the republic. (Ap
plause.) No stato was over more blessed by
a kind Providence than this. You have
everything, strong men, fair women and
your fields arc full of tho products and
wealth nwnltlng tho uses nnd tho cultiva
tion of men. I congratulato you upon this
splendid hcrltago and Join with your
honored mayor In saying that we stand
today one In hopo and In faith, ono In
destiny, the freest republic beneath tho sun,
a republic which the living and thoso who
aro to come after us will pass along the
ages aud to civilization." (Enthusiastic ap
plause.)
Hcoelvea 1'nlntliiK of the Alnmo,
At the conclusion of tho president's re
marks Governor Snycrs, on behalf of the
peoplo of San Antonio, presented tho presi
dent with an oil painting of the Alamo. Mr,
McKlnley gracefully acknowledged the gift
by saying that thero was nothing he would
prize more highly.
Tbo train left at noon for El Paso, G24
mlloi nway, the longest distance to be
traveled during the entire trip without a
scheduled stop. During the afternoon the
young ladles of tho party enjoyed a novel
experience. For about twenty-five miles
they rode In the cab of nn engine. Late in
tho afternoon the route dipped southward
and for a time ran along tho picturesque
cliffs of tho Hlo Grande.
At Del Kin Just before dark the train
stopped to change engines and the president
shook nanus wun quite n (umber of people,
some of thorn Mexicans from acrois tho
border, and In response to the calls made a
brief speech, as follows;
"My Fellow Cltl.ens: I dcslro to express
the very great pleasure It has glvon me to
meet my follow citizens of your great state
as 1 have Journeyed through It In the last
two days. I have 'been very glad to note
your prosperity, the choerfulness of the
peoplo, tholr happiness and contentment
and to know that they nro all devoted to
one flag the stars and stripes. I am also
glad to perceive that the people In this sec
tlon of tho country are Interested In wool.
Some gentlemen say that the only difficulty
la that the price Is uot qulto as high as
they would llko to havo it. I wish It were
In my power to make It higher for tbo
owner of the sheep and lower for the con
sumers who havo to use the wool. If I
could accommodate ou both It would give
me great satisfaction. 1 am very glad lo
meet you nnd greet you all."

WASHINGTON, May 4. Tho answer of
the British government to the Inquiry of
the State department respecting the sclr.vre
at Union bay of tho wrecking vessel AJax,
which was engaged In salving the Amer
ican steamer Willamette, has been re
ceived and, as wns expected, It takes the
ground that the Willamette was not
wrecked In waters contiguous to th
United States boundary line, or In a con
dition which tho treaty ninki: oocesia.'y
to wrecking operation. tike this.
It nppears that Union bay, the scene of
the wreck, Is moro than 100 miles distant
from the boundary line, nnd In tho light of
the treaty and of subsequent decisions of
the authorities it could not he regarded ns
forming part of the contiguous waters, so
that too seizure was Justified and cannot
be made the subject of official rcmonstrauce.

WASHINGTON, May 4. Surgeon Gcnoral
Sternberg Is very much gratified at the
showing made In the recent report from
Manila of a less percentago of sick than
at any time since the American troops were
sent to the Philippines. He attributes tho
better condition to several causes, hut
notably to the fnct that officers and men
understand the Importance of taking good
care of themselves. The soldiers In the
Philippines are to all Intents nnd purposes
regulars and officered by regular olllcers or
volunteer officers of experience, and the
men nre compelled to conform closely to
tha restrictions aB to diet nnd caro of
themselves. General Sternberg says the
training nnd education of the surgeons nn
tho Philippines has had good results, These
officers have learned how to treat tropical
diseases and complaints Indigenous to the
land moro successfully than formerly.

THINK SO?
The Minister's Wife Wns ItlRht.
When n baby's life can be saved by food
It Is worth while knowing something of
that food,
A minister's wife, nnmo given below,
writes: "I do not exaggerate In tho least
when I say that I havo novcr yet seen a
picture of the starving; babies of India
that looked an bad ns our baby did. The
skin wns drawn as tightly ns possible ovor
her llttlo frame, and was almost black.
Her little form was so shrunken that it
wns pltinblo to look at. Hor bright eyes
only showed that she was nllve.
She was starving to death, for every
thing she ate was immediately thrown ofr
from the stomach, Wo tried every kind
of food we could think of, nnd only kept
her alive by rubblmr olive nnd cod liver
oil Into tha pores of tho skin.
The doctor woh doing nil ho could, but
finally wo sent for nn uncle, and old phys
ician, to come and see her. The doctors
agreed perfectly, but uncle advised us to
vise Qrape-Nuts Food.
Wo Immediately got some and placed n
spoonful In som boiling water. This was
allowed to simmer until tho food became
perfectly soft A llttlo rich milk was added,
und Just enough sugar to sweeten. It made
a delicious food, and It was astonishing
how perfectly It agreed with our baby una
how she did lick it down.
Sho would not drink milk unless It had
Grape-Nuts food in It thereafter.
After a few days sho began to show
marks of Improvement, then she Improved
very rapidly, When we began feeding her
Grape-Nuts shti weighed about 10 pounds,
now sho weighs over 30, and Is almost as
broad ns she Is long.
Our friends all think It a miracle that
she recovered. While 1 am writing this
letter, one of my older girls has Just come
up, begging for somo Grape-Nuts nnd
cream.
, Wo naturally believe In Grape-Nuts for It
has saved the life of our baby," Mrs, S.

CANAL BILL WELL BURIED
Day of Enrnctlon for Emperor's Pet

TART FAREWELLS FOR DR. VON MIQUEL
llertln Press I'rntiUlj Kspnues tin
'fruits Hint llnve Outitrluhed
Ills Virtues In the Pnlillc
Mind.
1) EH LIN, May 4 Herr Theodor Moellcr,
who has bcon appointed minister of com
merce In succession to Herr Urefeld, Is a
national liberal of tho right wing nnd a
Wcstphnllan machine manufacturer. When
ever he has come Into contact with the
emperor the latter has expressed a liking
for him. Parliamentary circles believed
that Count von Zeldlttz Trucschlcr, presi
dent of Hesse Nassau, was the personal
choice of Emperor William for the office of
Prussian minister of the Interior to succeed
Daron Ilhclnbabcn, against Count von Hue
low's advice, because his majesty hoped to
effect through Von Zeldlltz changes In the
present school system, rendering It pro
nouncedly Chrlstlnn nnd Inculcating sub
mission to tho temporal and splrltunl au
thorities, especially tho crown. Herr Ure
feld's going was rendered necessary because
his recent uttcrunces showed that though
minister of commerce his sympathies were
elsewhere,
The events of tho last few days have
proved n great sensation, but, upon closer
Inspection, they do not mean a change In
the system. It I. quite certain that neither
Emperor William nor Count von Huelow
h.is tho slightest Intention to try to govern
with tho aid of the liberals or radical left,
nor to dissolve the Diet. Whether tho
canal bill will reappear la uncertain, In
spite of the assurances of n high nlllclat.
In any case tho bill Is burled out of sight
for tho time, thus meeting the wishes of
the conservatives and ngrnrlan centrists,
I'ress Is Kvtremely t'nutlniis.
Tho press comment from both parties Is
extremely cautious, not triumphant. Tho
Germanla promises tho conservatives the
center's aid, as heretofore, since no govern
ment In Prussia Is possible without tho con
servatives. The Deutsche Tagcs Zcltung.
Post und Kreuz Zeltung discreetly praise
the government for avoiding defeat on the
canal bill by closing tho Diet. Tho Taga
blatt regrets tho closure, becauso a num
ber of Important bills arc thus Undisposed
of.
Tho Vorwacrts Ironically congratulates
the younger party and centrists upon the
skill displayed In fighting the canal bill
and forcing Emperor William twice upon
his knees, It contrasts this with tho un
skillful attitude of the liberals nnd radicals
and sarcastically quotes verbatim Emperor
William's pro-canal declaration of August
11, 18!)'J, In Dortmund, which "the support
ers of tho crown and alter havo twice
turned Into a powerless boast."
The Vojslsrho Zcltung believes the new
Prussian cabinet will bo more homogeneous
than hitherto.
The papers all devote farewell articles to
Dr. von Mlquel, uniformly admitting hla
great ability, especially financially and ad
ministratively, but they point out that
everybody had finally lot confidence In him
because of his extreme cunning nnd insin
cerity. Papers of every shade Join In the
chorus,
The project to effect high-speed communi
cation between Ilcrlin and Hamburg Is
steadily progressing. The committee hand
ling the project Is composed of capitalists
nnd technical men. Tho preliminary work
Is nearly finished, assuring electric trains
with a speed of 200 kllotnctors per hour
over novel rails.
A periodical, the Olasers Annnlen, pub
lishes a statement that both state and pri
vate companies are engaged In experiments
to attain tho same velocity on the old
tracks, with steam engines of peculiar con
struction. Emperor William did not like Strauss'
"Cinderella" Thursday night. His maj
esty deemed the music trlto nnd the plot
worse. When ho noticed that the Vlonneue
present had organized a claquo he left un
ceremoniously, nftcr being present half an
hour.

POPE'S ABSOLUTE POWER

LONDON Mny 4, Tho pope, according
to a dispatch to tho Times from Home, Is
understood to iiavo made a will designating
his successor, thus, to quote tho corre
spondent, modifying the habitual modo of
choosing a pope by a conclave, Tho news
of tho pope's will first took shapo In a
diplomatic note from the Bavarian minister
to bis government. Its theory Is simple.
Tho papal power being nbsnlute, Involves
the right of naming a successor.
Dealing with tho rumors of Cardinal
Rompolla's rotlrement from tho office of
secretary of state, tho correspondent says
Hampulln expects to get tho tiara and
that tho strugglo will ba between Hampolla
and Vannutti,
The correspondent adds: The Gottls,
Svampas and Parochls would be here to
watch tho weakness and profit by them.
The correspondent calculates that Cardinal
Rampolla Is sure of thirty-three votes, but
needs thirty-six.
Concluding a two-column dispatch, tho
correspondent says' Thero remains hut ono
obstaclo for Cardinal Hampolla to overcome,
an obstacle that Is an Immenso affair where
traditions are everything. It is contrary
to custom for a secretary of state to suc
ceed his master. This Is why It Is not
Improbable that Cardinal Rampolla will
strive to appear to have been disgraced In
order to preierve responsibility for an
authority In tho throne of death. In quiet
ting the office of secretary of tbo usiocla
tlons bill, he would avoid quarreling with
