TOLD BY THE SURVIVORS mil Details of tie Loss ot tie Cruiser "Serpent." THE BOATS WBBE USELESS. Men "Were Washed Oyerboard 6rcttp3 and Dashed to Death Against the Bock3. in Special by The Uxitkd Pniss. Corunka, Spain, Nov. 16. Tho British man-of-war Lapwing brought 'the survivors of her majesty's ship Serptut to Cornnna to-day. A cor respondent of the United Press boarded tho vessel and obtained an interview with the fortunate men. Barton was tho name of tho first one questioned. He said that tho disaster to tho Serpent occurred at 1030 o'clock r. M., Monday. The night was a nasty ono, but there was no fon. Tho rock on which the vessel struok was covered by water and couldn't be seen. All on board were below, except the officers of the deck and. six watchmen. They all rushed up on feeling tho shock, but no panic resulted and tho orders of the officers wore promptly obeyed. The large boat was soon lowered but almost in stantly smashed to piecc3 among the rookg and tho occupants perished. It was useleas to lower tho other boam and all efforU to throw a cablo ashoro failing, tho situation was a hopeless one. The men wero constantly be ing washed overboard by heavy sea". Burton said that ono wave washed twelve men overboard in a group. After an hour of this terriblo experi ence, tho captain gave tho men leave to abondon tho ship and savo them selves as they thought best Burton jumped overboard wearing a life belt, sucu as all the watchmen had on. Mo did not see anyone follow him. He swam for tho shore and was threo hours fighting the waves but finally managed to get to a spot sheltered by rocks whoro the water wa3 calmer and he was able to swim ashoro. He was completely exhausted and his legs somowhat bruised from con tact with the rocks. It was pitch dark. Ho rested for some time and on starting to walk inland he met a com rade named Luton, with whom he walked until they came to a village two miles from the wreck. The peo ple there conveyed them to Oamann Burton is quite"well now. He assisted. at Oamarin, in identifying such of the bodies as were in recognizable condi tion. Luton and the third survivor, Gould, were too ill to be on deck, and the cor respondent found them in bed below. Luton sat up in bed and chatted brightly. He confirmed Burton's story. He himself was washed over board half an hour after tho shock. He had no belt on, and devoted his strength to trying to avoid the spots where he heard the sea breaking on the rocks. After an hour and a half 'of this struggling he reached calm water and landed on a sandy beach. He then first noticed that a piece of flesh had been torn from hi3 leg. Ho could not tell how the injury occurred, as he had not felt any pain before, but then every step- was tortura He is now improving rapidly. Both Barton and Luton believe that the Serpent was diverted from her course on account of the weather. The moment that Cape Yilano light was sighted the vessel struok the rocks. The light was very weak. Barton thinks the Serpent sunk soon alter ho left it. Gould is still suffer ing from tho "effects of the severe ex perience and is very feverish. He 13 not allowed to talk to visitors. When the Lapwing left the scene of the wreck, forty-eight- bodies had been recovered and buried. Many of them wero unidentified. A majority of tho victims were not drowned, but were killed by dashing on the rooks. Scalalcina flolnjj Up. 8peclal to The Astobiax.I Manchester, Nov. 16.

It will be constructed entirely of steel and will be 6,000 feet from end to end.

The bridge will be built ten feet above the highest water ever recorded in the river, and will be forty feet above low--water mark.

There are martvr3 and martyrs. Some were wise in tho loftiest some are silly In the most improvident sense. The word Im provident exactly api lies to the latter class, since they neglect to provide against threat ened danger. We commiserate, but we can not respect them. Among the silliest are martyrs to rheumatism, who might have prevented daily and nightly recurring tor ture by theeariv use of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, a blood depurent more efficient In removing the virus of tliis complaint from the circulation than any thus far brought to the notice of the general community and the medical profession. It promotes greater activity ot the kidneys, the channel through which blood impurities, productive ot rheu matism, gout and dropsy, arc principally expelled, and It imparts a degree of vigor to digestion and assimilation which has a most favorable bearing on the general health. It also remedies biliousness, kidney tronbles and malaria. RgtiiepcPAiM For Stableman and StocknM. CTJRES Cuts.
