Five men came ashore at Daytona Sunday noon, Captain Murphy, Stephen Crane, the novelist; the cook and two sailors.

As she still continued to sink, two boat loads of Cubans, twelve men in all. were first sent off. IVur the ISoatVCrcw Were Lost. One boat, containing six men, wns capsized, and I am afraid the nun were lost. One of the life boats containing nine men was swamped and a hastily constructed raft wast made up from ma-(.-..hk thrown to them, and they then disappeared from our sight. Captain Murphy, Stephen Crane, the newspaper man, Biggins, myself and one other sailor took to tho ten-foot dingy at the last moment. We tried to saw the men in the water around us, but the heavy seas and blinding wind swept them from in The snrav was so thick that we could see only a few rods. Their cries were heartrending, but we could do nothing. It required all our effors to k;-ep our small boat right side up. For twenty-four hours we battled with the heavy sea. constantly balling, and at last land was sighted. As we at tempted to land the wind drove us into the breakers, and in an instant h? boat was overturned and we were struggling for life. For a:i h-ur we battled mr life, nnd then managed to crawl out on the sands, almost dul. Ciood Sailor and llrave Man. "Captain Murphy saved Mr. Crane by helping him when a cramp caught him. Biggins was struck on the head by floating timbers, and he died soon after landing. He was a gooil sailor and a brave man. He worked. hard to save his comrades. "Aid was asked from Daytona as the Three Friends was the only vessel In port that could stand the seas. The Washington officials were wired, ask ing permission to send the tug out, even with revenue officers on board. Not hoarintr from this, the collector wired the department. Then J. M. Barrs wired Senator Call, and he replied laier. spy ing that he had notified Ca-iisie ana the president. Nothing was heard from the department as to aid in sav in the lives of American citizens un til 4 in the afternoon. This was brought about by a strong message from Barrs, begging the department in tne name oi humanity to allow a vessel to it-ave. This brought the required permission. and at 6:30 o'clock the Three i rienus eteamed out on her errand of mercy." LEADER SUK RENDERS. Afternoon Tea Sets. Boys' and Girls' Skates.

Washington, Jan. 5. The tobacco schedule was the subject of the hear ings before the ways and means com mittee Monday. Michael Topln of Baldwinsvllle, N. Y., representing the New York State Tobacco Growers asso ciation, said the tobacco growers were badly in need of relief. They had ex pended vast sums In warehouses, etc., and until the Importation of Sumatra began had been fairly prosperous. To bacco farms were then worth $125 an acre. Such farms were now generally mortgaged and would not today liq uidate their encumbrances. He did not think it fair that the Holland syndicate which employed coolie labor at 12 cents a day should be allowed to annihilate the great leaf tobacco industry In this ountry. He denied that American leaf was not suitable for wrappers. Sumatra had no merit, he said, except its ap pearance. Would Not Injure Coinumer. He complained of the elastic lan guage in the act of 1S!4. and said the schedule In the act of 1SD0 would be sat isfacbtry. The consumer, he said, would not be injured by an adequate duty, but would get his cigars at the fame price at retail. He tuid the quality of the American wrapper leaf had noi Improved of recent years because there had been no inducement to growers to care for their leaves. Cuban tobacco ranked first in quality, and Sumatra was decidedly the worst. He had no doubt, he said, that any importer of Knm.itrn. would rather have Sumatra tvr-iiKied than smola a cigar made wholly of Sumatra. "Why?" he was asked. "rturniiso If he rmoked It. he would lose his breakfast." He said the growers cared nothing about fillers. They were Interested primarily In wrappers. A Iteninrkahle Fact. Chairman Dingley called attention to the fact that under the reduction duty of 50 cents per pound on wrappers in the act of 1804 the incrr-ase of import ,f 5-".i m .frn .ni been over 40 p.r cent. Moreover, said Mr. Dingley, it wa a remarkable fact that the price, of Su matra tobacco increased 50 cents a pound as soon as the duty was reduced 50 cents. Mr. Topln confirmed this, but had no explanation to offer. J. S. Van Dusscr of Dors? Heads. N. Y., representing the growers of the Che mung valley, also asked for protection for wrapper tobacco. He admitted that t' Willi id hrt nn a.deuuate rate, but said It was not a question of rates, but of protecting our citizens from ruinously cheap labor abroad, and saving a great Industry from extinction. He said 20. 000.000 pounds of foreign tobacco was imported annually, of which 4.000,000 were wrapper.- Due to a Foolinh Idea. "How do you account for the fact?" asked Mr. McMlllin. "that Sumatra to bacco, which costs from 84 cents to $1.21 at the port of export displaces Ameri can tobacco which costs 12 cents to pro duce?" "It Is due," replied Mr. Van Dusser, "to the foolish idea of the American people that anything foreign is better than anything domestic." "Is that all?" "It Is; it is the fad." Mr. Van Dusser created much amuse ment when he replied in answer to e question as to what duty he wanted, that he wanted so much duty he was afraid to suggest it. He would like to see a prohibitory duty. AVOID ROSE ZOLDOSKE PARDONED. One of tb Lat Otticial Acta Performed by Governor Fpham. Madison, Wis., Jan. 5.

V. son to ueueve inai me vhuili -. Jury was influenced adversely to the ac cused by the fact that her counsel, in the exercise, no doubt, of a sound dis cretion failed to place her upon the stand as a witness in her own behalf. The law Is that she Khali not be preju diced by her failure to testify. This fact is necessarily very detrimental to the accused, and had it been made to appear to the trial court in due time. undoubtedly a new trial would nave .een granted. But It is now too late or that proceed u re. I believe, there ore, that the case is one in which ex ecutive clemency can be wisely exer- ised." SPEAKERSHIP. ILLINOIS TO NOTORIETY.
