Metcalf, and representing himself to be a spe cial correspondent of the New York Jotirnul, swindled Scrantonluns out of about $1100 by a very cleverly worked game. He registered at the Jermyn. and succeeded in Ingratiating himself Into the good opinion of a large number of well-to-do men whom he met there. When he had succeeded In making himself thoroughly acquainted with a new-found friend, he would strike him for a loan of $25 or so to tide him over until his remittance came, explaining teforehand that he came away Just as he was on five minutes' notice. When Metcalf suddenly disappeared and his absence continued for several days one victim who had advanced $20 wrote to the Journal asking Editor Hurst to make It good. In answer to this he received a let ter from the Journal people to the ef fect that they know nothing whatever about any W. W. Metcalf. WANT TO JOIN THE ARMY.

SCRANTONIANS WHO WERE ONJTIE MAINE Two Letters Received Hero Yesterday from Survivors. 0NG DESCRIBES THE EXI'LOSION Gunner's Mntc IIullocli, Writing to lllii I'lither, Snyt tho Forward I'nrt ol tho Ship Wus Blown Out of the Water, nnd who Sank in t.cis Than 'Jhrco .1Iinutei--I'iroinaii Loftus Contents llimacll with Denying That Ha It Among Ilia Misslnc. Two letters came to this city yes terday from Maine survivors who were former Scruntonlans. One was from Charles H. Bullock, son of J. F. Bul lock, proprietor of the Kindling Wood factory, on Dickson avenue, and tho other was from Patrick Loftus, who up to two years ago, when he went to sea resided at 318 Twenty-first street. Bullock's letter is dated Feb. 18, and was written from Hotel Inglaterrn, Havana. In referring to the explosion he says: I was nslecp in tho nttcr turret and was thrown out ot my hammock, and managed to escape the guns and turret. 1 escaped unhurt, except a few bruises, which amount to nothing. I got In one of the two bouts that wore left und helped to pick up some of the wounded. Before 1 could get out of tho turret tno water was up to the guns, anil It is tho greatest miracle that I escaped at all, us tho Bhlp sunk in less than three minutes. Tho whole forward part of tho ship was thrown up in the air about fifty feet or more. There were 25, killed, about seventy wounded, and twenty-live saved with only u few bruises. As luck would have It there wns an Amctlean ship belonging to the Ward line In, and we went over there for tho night, and next day sent to Key West all thnt could be moved, which was about twonty-flve. All tho rest are going to be sent i p today, it possible, but some of them aro hurt so badly I am afraid tliy will not lenvn here. The cap tain, sever ofllcers and myself are slop ping at the hotel. He then goes on to tell of the cere monies attending the funeral of tho victims and concludes by instructing his. father to address him at Key West when he next writes. Bullock was a gunner's mate of the first class. Loftus was a fireman on the ship, and enlisted under the name of "Paul" Loftus. He was reported among the missing In several papers, but in his letter he says he escaped with only a few slight bruises and cuts. This is about all the letter contains. It was written to William Heffron. of Twenty- first street, with whom he formerly boarded. Loftus Is a brother of Maggie Lof tus, Mrs. Jnmes Casey and Mrs. Michael Hull, of this city.
