TOLD OF HIS EXPERIENCE.
One of the crew. In describing the ex-
perience of the Cam bank said:
"We were bound from Huelva Spain
for Liverpool with a cargo of copper.
When outside of Amlwycb on the north
coast of Wales we took aboard a pilot
We had gathered speed when a periscope
was observed aoout 100 yards away. The
engines ware reversed but while the
Tassel was turning the submarine dis-
charged a torpedo which struck us
midship. We launched the lifeboats and
managed to pull clear before the Cam-
bank sank. We had no time to save any-
thing and moat of us were scantily clad
and much exhausted when a boat took us
in charge and towed us into Amlwych
harbor."
A steamer which has arrived here re-
ports that she had been warned by the
Cambank that there was a submarine In
the vicinity. She at once put on full
St asm and being a speedy vessel reached

NACOGDOCHES Texas. February 20.
The Idea has been suggested by some of

Nacogdoches and San Antonio road
which extends from Natchitoches La. on
Red river just 100 miles east of Nacog
doches. Texas snd across the 8tate from
east to west via San Antonio to Laredo
on the Rio Grande.
In olden times it was called the King's
highway. There are citizens now living
In Nacogdoches who remember the entire
line of this public road but In a few
years they will all be called to their final
home. However at this time the site
can be established and no doubts will be
interesting to the generation now living
and to those who may come.
