Colonel Mills had a long interview

Colonel Mills left for West I'olut immediately

An official statement of the situation
at the Academy was tuade at the War

form of such offenses toward the superintendent
as training the gun upon |

which I lie Academy officers could not

trials and sentences to dismissal now

There, are two other court-martial

that they are to go before the people
of the State in a joint eanvass and the
sentiment of the people Is to l>o expressed
in the vote in a Denioorntie
primary to be held in November.
The meeting at (Jaffney was arranged
for Mel.aurin by some of his
friends and others who wished to
hear his views on the great National
questions. Senator Tillman was later
invited hy the County Kno? ntivo Com
mittce to speak. He had been "hank |

it was through his individual efforts I
that the joint debate was arranged, j
Tillman excused bis partieipation in

considered it bis duty to appear before
the people and warn tliem when

Tile Insinuation thai lie iMcl.aurint J
was handling any of Mark Hanna's ;
money, he eoiillimed, was a falsehood, j
and unworthy of a Senator and a pen j

oleeted? lie says if I'm eleeteil. the
people will repudiate hint. No! You'll

not that sort."
Tillman, who was sitting near,
sprang up and said: "I'll resign right

Mel.aurin said lie was willing.
Senator Tillman said. "Draw up the

Mr. Tillman rejected Ibis because it j

Southampton. Knglmul. The hi out
dramatic inddi'iil in the history of the
America's Cup occurred when a sudden
squall on the Solent completely
wrecked (he new challenger and en
da tigered the lives of King Kdward
and several other distinguished persons.
including Sir Thomas l.iptoit.
j The results of this disaster, the occurrence
of which without loss of life,
| scents almost miraculous, ciin hest i
j judged h.v the written staietnciil ti.snle
! hy Sir Thomas l.iptoii as follows:
1 "My deepest regret is that the neei1
dent prevents me front toeing the
mark at tin* appointed hour, and compels
tno to ask the New \ ork Yacht
Club to grant too an extension of time.
If they will lie good enough to do that
I shall race, even if I have to build a
boat between now and the date agreed
utw?n. 1 still believe ihe Shamrock il
a boat worthy to he the challenger,
and that, when this unfortunate chapter
of accidents comes to an end. sin
will still stand a good ehance of lifting
the cup. 1 have not a singie complaint
to make against my hum.
"For the many telegrams of sytnpa
tliy received from America I am <teei?
!y grateful. No one is more thankful
(linti 1 ntn that tin- entnsirnplie ended
without fatality, and I may perhup.'
say that throughout the trying mo
jnents ilis Majesty was as brave as aj
lion. Ilis tirst thought was to iuqiiirt |
if" any one was injured. i
"THOMAS I ?l I*Tt >X.** |
Clreumsiancos have reduced thr j
Shamrock II. to a pitiless, spa tie s>
wreck. The story of the catastrophe
is best tohl l?y Sir Thomas I.intoti him
self. After seeing his royal gu<-si ?,tl
for T.omlon Sir Thomas said, in an
swer to inquiries:
"We had just b 'gun to make for thr
starting line when a tierce brecxt?
sprang tip. King lOdwanl. I.ady l.ott
domlerry. Mrs. .lanieson. Mr. Watson,
Mr. .Inniesou and myself were on dock,
hanging on as best we might, for thr
challenger was almost at an angle of
forty-five degrees. The King started
to go below; just as he did so everything
collapsed. A heavy block fell
between the two ladies, and a wir?
rope struck me on the head and momentarily
stunned me. A sudden
squall. an unexpected strain, and
everything had iriven wmv i.m.
ward was half way in and half wa.f
out of tin" companion hatchway. What
happened, how* all the tailing spar*
and sweeping sails did not kill or
sweep some one overboard is mora
than I know. When 1 came to 1 saw
the King clambering over the wreckage.
trying to discover the extent ol
the damage and asking: ' ( > any one
hurt':' "
It is further learned that Sir
Thomas's tirst utterance on earning ;<
was this anient adjuration to Mr. Watson
:
"Telegraph for more spars. We have
got to sail on August go. and this boat
lias got to do It."
When t he disi inguislnal part ieipators
in the mishap had la en safely transferred
to the Krin, the King's tirst remark
was:
"When shall we sal' again. Lip.on V
and before 11 is Majesty started for
London his last v.ords to Kir Thomas
were:
"When yon next sail I a: i going
with you."
Sir Thomas calculates ilial a delay
of three v.i eks or a motiili in tlie da>
of the contest in American waters will
enable hint to come to llie scratch. lie
says that he Is greatly handicapped
by the fa . that he has no duplicate
masts for the Shamrock 11.. bill by mi
unlimited expenditure oi" money and
energy he believes tit" defects can he
remedied in time to provide for an International
race this year.
The damage done to the challenger
Is estimated at Rlb.oOO. as nearly every
scrap of In i gear Is gone.
