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.

Special to The Astoriax.1
Topkka, Nov. 16. Mrs. John Sev

of laudanum.
Mrs. Sevenson had beon insane ever

attack of the grippe, and is now in tho
last stages of consumption.
Sho confessed the crime to-day, and
said sho knew she was about to die

where it would meet her when her
own death occurred.
A COAX. FAMINE.
Serious Predicament of Towns
In Nebraska and Wyoming.
Special to Tiie Astouiax.1
Omaha, Nov. 16. The lack of trans
portation facilities, from which the
Union Pacific railroad has been suffer
ing for some time, has so reduced tho
supply ot coal in all town3 in Wyo
ming and Nebraska which are depend
ent on this road that a fuel famine is
feared.
The fact that this territory is almost
treeless will show tho gravity ot the
situation. Should there bo a heavy
fall of snow, such as to impede railroad
traffic, for even a short time, great
Buffering would undoubtedly follow.

The solicitors, who havo the case in

quired duty will be paid.

Springer goes further and regards
Mr. Cleveland's nomination as a cer
tainty. "Ho will bo nominated," said
Springer, "no matter whether New

Hlinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michi
gan, Iowa and .Nebraska, and come
near carrying Kansas and Minnesota,
and the whole northwest is with us on
the tariff reform idea and has come to

Vory few people have any idea of
the magnitude ot the new steel bridge
now being built across the Columbia
river, at Vancouver, by the Union Pa
cific Kailway Company. It will be
constructed entirely of steel and will
be 6,000 feet from end to end. It will
be made "wide enough to admit of a
double track being laid and will be a
two-story structure, similar to tho
one across the Willamette at
Portland, the upper part be
ing 2nsed for pedestrians, horses, and
motor lines. 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. The draw
span will bo over 400 feet in length,
the opening on either side of tho pivo
tal pier being 200 feet in tho clear,
which will admit of vessels of any
size or almost any kind of tow being
taken through with amplo room to

Comment in Naval Cireles Over
The "Serpont" Disaster.
Special to Tub AsToniAJ
Washington, Nov. 16. Tho wreck
of the British cruiser Serpent has
caused considerable comment among
officers of the navy, reflecting credit,
to some extent, upon the new ships of
this government.
The accident is taken as further
proof that tho smaller ships of tho
British navy are too light in their
construction, a fact that has been sus
pected for some time.
Plans of certain of our new vessels
have Jbeen based on English designs,
but in every case the frames have
been strengthened, so that there need
be no fear of a repetition of the Ser
pent disaster on this side of the water.

MAKING NCWS AND NOTES.
Tho sieam schooner Augusta.
arrived from Tillamook yesterday.
Heavy fogs are reported up the

tremely perilous.
Tho British ship Blengfell arrived
down from Portland yesterday, par
tially laden for the United Kingdom.
Sho will complete cargo here.
Needed repairs are being made on
the steamer Manzanita, which will
probably bo completed to-morrow
evening. Pipes are being put in
which will convey dry steam to tho
boiler, and for tins purpose tho fires
in the furnaces have been pat out for
tho first timo in over three months.
The work is being done by tho Astoria
Ironworks. At the same time the
steamer is being cleaned and bright
ened in tho best manner, for it is char
acteristic of the vessel to havo every
thing about it in first-class order.
Foolish llartyrs.
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.
