In the earlier part of the day the

Watcher on Deck of Wrecked
Steamer Prina Joaclilm See Com'
petition Strangvly Settled.
CLEVELAND. Nov. I. Six Florida
wreckers were hlown up today while
attempting to secure a floating box of
explosive, part of the cargo of the
steamer Prlns Joachim, which went
ashore November 2J op the rocks off
Atwood Key. -
Thls Information, sent from the Prlna
Joachim, was picked up by one of the
wireless stations here tonight.
While the cargo of the Prlna Joa
chim was being Jettisoned, a swarm of
wreckers lay about, watching for an
opportunity to salvage any part of the
cargo. A chance came when three
Hta ilmnst simultaneously spied a
floating box. They m.-ule for It with
all haste.
When the three boats, each contain
ing two men. reached the box there
was a sharp struggle to see which
should get It aboard. Watchers aboard
the Prlns Joachim then saw the water
thrown high In the air by an explo
sion. Thereafter nothing of the boats
save splintered wreckage was to be
seen, nor was there any trace of the
men.
For a time other wreckers and those
aboard the steamer did not guess what
had happened. Their surmise was that
a revenue, cutter had thrown a shell
at the wreckers.

"Oom Panl" Kmeger Called Narrow
and Reform Movement Result
of His Oppressions.
BOSTON. Nov. tS. Released by time
from an oath not to talk on South
African affairs nor reveal any of the
"inside" aa to tho events leading up to
the Boer War, for a period of years,
John Hays Hammond, who was con
spicuous in that war, broke his silence
for the first time last night at a din
ner of the Clover Club.
Mr. Hammond said the Jameson raid
waa 'the result of the activities of a
reform association formed at Johannes
burg, consisting largely of Americans.
"I want especially," said Mr. Ham
mond, "to correct a misunderstanding,
"ilt Is said we were acting under the
British flag. It Is false.
"Much sympathy has been wasted on
'Oom Paul' Kruger. He was opposed
to progress, believing that the world
was flat. His Impositions were such as
no man of the Anglo-Saxon race would
have tolerated.
"The reform movement against Kru
ger was not an English movement.
Jameson came Into the fight against
our wishes and against the wishes of
the British high commissioner. Kru
ger In aconference demanded that no
contract should be accepted with a
Catholic or a Jew. This we flatly re
fused. "Kruger broke all his promises and
after he had secured the arms In Jo
hannesburg he arrested the reform
committee. He gave the men to under
stand that If they pleaded guilty they
would be let off with a line. Instead,
they were sentenced to be hanged with
in 21 hours.
"An emphatic dispatch from Secre
tary Olney caused President Kruger
and the Boer council to commute the
sentence to life imprisonment."

opium, other smuggled, unstamped
opium, a quantity of stamped opium,
135 ounces of morphine, four ounces
of cocaine and an opium layout were

Important capture effected In many
years. In the general Chinatown raid

COUPLE WELL KNOWN HERE
Man Was Brother, of Alf Rlngllng's
Wife, and Detectives in Portland
Sought Him for Passing
Alleged Bad Checks.
KANSAS CITT, Mo., Nov. 26. (Spei
cial.) The bodies or Claire G. Andrews,
a former circus performer, wanted in
Portland for passing: allegred bad
checks, and his wife, Mayme, wera
found at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
in a lonely,, densely wooded part of
Swope Park by a company of boy
scout. The couple were last seen allva
Saturday morning:, September 2.
In a nook enclosed by great rocks
Andrews and his wife had Iain down
together. Their arms were about each
other. Near the bodies wera tw
glasses arid a two-ounce bottle.
Dr. Harry C. Searlinsky, Coroner
judged that the bottle had contained
morphine and that each had swallowed
a glass of the poison and died in the
other's embrace. In Andrews' trousers
pocket was a purse, empty, and a pad
of paper on which was written on one
page:
"Mrs. Alf T. Rlngllng. Oak street.
Baraboo, Wis. Sly dear, dear sister, we

There the writing ended as if he had
begun to write a note to her and had
then changed his mind.
Both Bora Kear Sawdust Ring.
On another sheet was the same ad
dress. Andrews wae 38 years old. Ha
waa a brother of Mrs. Delia M. Ring .
ling, wife of Alf T. Rlngllng, of thf
Rlngling Bros.' circuses, and the son
of Mrs. R. O. Andrews. His wife was
82 years old.- They were born in Bara
boo, Wis., the Winter headquarters of
the circuses.
Accompanied by his wife, Claire
Andrews came to Kansas City from St,
Louis August 22. A few days later,
Andrews obtained a position as gen
eral agent of the United States Si
Mexican Trust Company of Kansas
City. He was to take -charge of its
branch, office at Fort Worth, Tex.
Previous to that, two months in fact,
the Kansas City branch of a detective
agency, through its Chicago office, had
been instructed to keep watch for
Andrews, as his mother, Mrs. R. G.'
Andrews, and Mrs. Delia M. Rlngllng
were searching for him. C. W. Tobie,
the detective agency manager, re-t
ceived a leter declaring that she be-
lieved him dead from Mrs. Delia Rlng4
ling.
Lawyer Telle of Death Pact.
Henry F. Joslln, an attorney o
Portland. Or., to whom Andrews had ini
structed the handling of his affairs,
wrote Mrs. Ringling August 24 that
Andrews had written him a lettefl
which told of his suicidal Intentions.
Andrews, he said, spoke therein A
the death pact with his wife, saying)
that perhaps by the time the letten
reached Joslin, both would be dead. In(
Andrews" letter to his mother he asked
her not to separate him from his wifaj
in death, saying that "they had always
been everything to each other." j
ANDREWS' RECORD ASSAILEDf
Portland Lawyer Saya Circus Manl
Got Away With $10,000 Here. '
Andrews was well-known in Port-
land, having left the city May 27 him
der a cloud. It was charged that ha
had fleeced individuals and firms for
something more than $10,000. Two
suits are now pending In the Portland
courts against Andrews, for whom a
detective agency has been eeeking ever
since he left here.
Andrews and his wife lived at the
Ramapo Hotel for the year and a half
that he "worked" in this city, having
come here from Baraboo, Wis., the An
drews' home town. Andrews was a
brother of Mrs. Alf T. Rlngllng, wife
of one of the Ringling Brothers of cir
cus fame. Andrews operates a broker
age business from his rooms in the
hotel, and is alleged to have derrauaea
several patrons of tho Ramapo.
That Andrews planned to kill himself
was learned last night through a let
ter he is said to have written to his
mother early in September from Kansas
City. This information was conveyed
to Henry T. Jostin, formerly a Portland
attorney, now of San Diego, who act--ed
as Andrews' attorney here several
times.
: It was about three months ago, aa
near as can bo recalled, that Mrs. Rlng
llng wrote to Michael K. Foley, pro
prietor of the Ramapo. saying that she
had heard that Andrews was dead, and
asked him if he could give her any par
ticulars. Foley was unable to do so,
as Andrews told him, when he took;
"French leave," that he was going to
Vancouver. B. C. This he did, says Fo
