MET DEATH ON BOARD A TORPEDO-BOAT The Fiye Men Who Were " RepiM In jured Yesterday Have Since Died From Effect of Their Bnrns. SUFFERED FRIGHT FUL AGONIES Fuller Details of the Frightful Disaster Cause of the Accident Cannot Be Ascertained Until After a Careful Inspectipn of the Boilers Has Been Made. Portland, Friday Oct. 21. The acci dent to the torpedo-boat D avis on her official trial trip down the Columbia river yesterday proved even more dis astrous and appalling in its results than the first brief dispatches received yes terday afternoon intimated. The "seven reported yesterday has given way to the more grewsonie record, "seven dead.'" Following are the names of those who lost their lives in the explosion, death in each instance being due to the ter rible scalds which no medical skill could heal : Charles Maneely, fireman, un married; Harry Wood, married; Paul Laithle, fireman, unmarried; James Ryan, married; Axel Johnson, married; Albert Buehl, unmarried. The accident which sent these eeven men into eternity occured about 11 :40 a. m , as the boat was off Tenas IUitiee, near Cathlamet, on her way to Astoria. The explosion was due to the bursting of one of the steam tubes in the forward boiler. The seven men were penned up in the small fireroom, and there was no chance for them to escape. The explo sion came without warning, and in an instant the men were blown down by a blast of steam, smoke and fire. Willing bands were soon to the rescue, and Dr. E. H. Thornton, the company's physician, who was on board, did every thing in his power to alleviate the suf fering of the hapless victims. The boat was put at anchor immediate ly after the accident occured. Messen gers were sent out for . relief, but owing to the distance to the nearest telegraph station and the time required for assist ance to arrive from Astoria, twenty miles away, it' was a long and tedious wait not only for the suffering victims, but also for the doctor and the willing though helpless sympathizers on board the boat. The first man to see the distress of the ill-fated torpedo-boat was A. K. John son, a fisherman, who upon pulling up alongside the Dayis took J. E. Wolff on board and rowed him to Brookfield, the nearest telegraph station, with an ap peal to Astoria for a tug boat and medi cal assistance. Help finally came in the arrival of the ship Lydgate in tow of the Harvest Queen, and a gasoline launch be longing to one of the canneries. Captain Bailey, of the Queen, and Pilot Pope left their ponderous charge at anchor, hooked onto the disabled torpedo-boat and started with all possible haste for Astoria. Off Pillar Rock the tug Relief, with Drs. A. L. Fulton and Jay Tuttle, of Astoria, on board met the' Queen, having come in response to the telegram sent by Mr. Wolff. The Astoria doctors boarded the Davis, and were a very wel come relief to Dr. Thornton, Wjo was nearly exhausted from his labors. Medical skill, however, was without avail. Maneely gave up the-struggle soon after the Queen started with her disabled tow for Astoria. Lultbie lived about an hour longer, and Harry Wood breathed his last just as the boat reached Astoria. Upon the arrival of the boats at As toria the injured were removed to St. Mary's hospital, while the dead were taken to the morgue, where Coroner Pobl began an inquest in the evening. William Wood, Ryan, Buehl and John son died within twenty minutes of each other later in the evening. The Davis left Rainier yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock, and was making about knots an hour when the awful tragedy occured. It was her official trial trip and just how or why the accident occurred will not be known until an of ficial investigation is made.

END OF THE WAR SPOILED IT Peace Protocol Signed Just as Decisive Blow Was About to Be Struck- Plans Had Assumed a Definite Shape and Efforts Had Been Made to Secure the Co-Operation of the Other-Spanish American Republics Ohicago, Oct. 21. A special dispatch from Washington to the Tribune says a (Story of a sensational natnre comes from apparently good eources concerning a plot formed in Havana among leading Spaniards, including Generals Blanco and Pando, to proclaim an independent Spanish-American government in Cuba which would eventually revert to Spain, thus securing and retaining the sover eignty ot that country. The scheme was cleverly laid, and all the preliminary steps were taken toward hurrying it into execution. Only the destruction of Cervera's fleet, followed shortly after by the surrender of Gen. Toral at Santiago, and the peace Jproto- col, prevented more decisive action be ing taken. The plan was that Blanco was to pro claim a reyolution in Havana against the sovereignty of Spain, and declare a Spanish-American republic, with him self at the head of the government, and all the various leaders of the civil gov ernment, the commanders of the volun teers and the Spanish army were to con cur in the movement and ostensibly sever their connection with Spain and turn it over bodily to the hands of Blan co under his new government. The movement was to be entirely free and independent of the insurgents, who were not to be recognized In the affair to any extent, but only the strictly Spanish element was to be regarded. With the major portion of the Spanish in and about Havana all supporting the new revolutionary government under Blanco, it would be seen that Spain was in a hopeless condition and would be forced to surrender its sovereignty and recognize the independence of the new Spanish-American Republic. But the plotters went further than this. Envoys were sent to all the Span ish-American governments to secure their aid. This would secure the gov ernment belligerent rights and a means by which supplies could be secured to carrv out the movement. It's Human. Nature. This readiness to accept the wonderful and miraculous in preference to com monplace truth. A plausible and ghb tongued doctor can go from town to town curing, or trying to cure, people, and have a great influx of shekels, while every community in which the so-called doctor goes is supplied with quiet, learned practitionore, who have forgotten more than the fakir ever learned, and they can give you the best treatment within the reach of human knowledge. While your home doctors carry you from year to year, get up at all times of- the night and are your servants during the dpy, and you pay them when you are well or able, the fakir gets the cash, and is gone forever.

From Benjamin Franklin. "When you are sick, what von like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i. e.. Theory) says is best is to ba chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con sultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken." When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli nation would recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because t is prepared on scientific principles. and acts on nature's plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.
