THRILLING NEWS STORIES
mouth-long battle on shipboard
BETWEEN CHINESE AND RUSSIANS
A Thousand Rabid Coolies and Maddened
Peasants Engage in Deadly Combat at
All Hours of the Day and Night
During Maori King's Last
Trans-Paciiic Voyage.
San Diego, Ca!.?-With nearly 1000
enraged Chi nose and 200 maddened
Russians rushing in mobs at eacTi
other, thirsting for blood and a fight '
to (he death while :i helpless crew of j
lialf a hundred friendly Chinese and \
three lonely Knglish officers stood .
between the murderous assaults in '
an effort to stop the fearful carnage j
only to he set upon by both forces, i
while a crowded ship rolled wildly in !
a fierce storm?such was the awful j
experience 011 board tho British ship j
Maori King, which sought San Diego I
Harbor, forced to run for refuge here
in order to prevent what appeared to ;
be certain wholesale slaughter.
As a result of the race war six Rus- J
slaus and two Chinese lie dead and j
more than 200 are dangerously j
.wounded from ltnife thrusts. Accord- j
ing to Captain .T. W. Duncan, in com
mand of the stricken ship, the Maori
King lpft Vladivostok with 921 Chi
nese, 417 Russians, a crew of fifty
six Chinese, who had long been in the .
service of the boat and their officers;
Captain Duncan, First Officer T. S
Vernon and Second Officer T. H. Ox
ley.
It appears that a Chinese contrac
tor, J>ee Sun Sal, lured the Chinese
on board the ship from the vicinity ;
of Harbin on promise to land them I
in San Francisco. When two days
out ho told them a mistake had been j
made, and the boat would land them |
at Guayamas, Mexico. On learning of
this deception the Chinese broke out (
in mutiny, chased the officers of the
ship into their cabln^attacked those
of the Chineao crew who remained
faithful and then started a race war
on the Russians.
Tho officers finally fought their
way out, and, after shooting a score
of the Chinese, uegained control of
the ship. All of tho horrors of mu
tiny rampant with a horde of rabid
coolies of the lowest and basest type
engaging In deadly combat all hours j
of the day and night for nearly a J
month, were Intensified by the filth ?
of the passengers and the rotten j
decks, unwashed and putrefying with ??
a thick coating of offal, blood and
foul garbage.
Disease broke out among the Cni
nose, making the situation worse. !
As they refused to allow the surgeon ;
near them over a hundred died like '
vats and were thrown overboard. I
"It was a real boil ship," accord
ing to First Officer T.S. Vclion. "and

"Just a week ago we were caught j
In a frightful storm. Even with a

a row going on between the Russians ,
and thfi Chlnf-se it was awful. TllM

The Attiquin was a largo vessel,

Tho vessel was beached and
wrecked off tho coast of Honduras
and is a complete loss.
The owner nnd crew escaped nar
rowly with their lives. Tho Earl and 1
Countess Kltzwilllam went to Belize,

Admiral Palliser, retired, of the Brit

of Earl Fitzwilliam to the famous j
treasure island off the Pacific coast
oi Costa Kica.
The Earl stopped at Jamaica nnd
tf ol: on two expert miners and sl:
i-':en negro laborers, with a mass of
equipment and supplies. The steani

tivV around the Horn. When the

who was about the only reaident qf
the place, told the Englishmen that if
they looked In the right place they
could find 0,000,000 pounds of treas- I
ura and a golden statue of a goddess
robed In a eostumc of royal gems, i
The German said that he guessed the |
Blaine was buried under a cliff that
overlooked the sea.
Tho miners prepared to blow up !
the cliff and get at the statue in that
v:ay, but a premature blast blow tho
top of tho cliff down on top of them.
Those who escaped went to work to

th" Earl. Thero was a landslide,
which buried the Earl and his men

CROPS ARt NOT DAMAGED
Secrelaiy of Agriculture Wilson
Says Prospects Aie Bright.
No Cause For Alarm?1Tt.inks Cry of
Failings Has Itccn (tailed
For a I'liiposc,
Chicago.- Ueports of damage to
the crops, which have been so nu
merous of late, owing to the unsea
sonable weather and tho ravages of
bugs, have been greatly fcxaggftrated,
and for ft purpose,according to James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture.
"Spring seeding is a little hack
ward on account of Abe cold weath
er," hc^aaid, "but there is plenty of
time between now and the last of
September to grow a crop of all kinds
of grain. In Minnesota and the Da
kota?}, where we raise most, of our
spring wheat, seeding has been de
layed about two weeks, but, with a
few days of warm sunshine, planting
will be in full progress.
' While the weather has been un
seasonably cold in sotn.o &iain re
gions, still It has not been severo
enough to retard plowing, and my ad- j
vices are that the ground i 11 those
StateB has been nearly all made ready
to receive tho sesd. We will have |
warm weather in a few days, and I
don't see what ja to prevent n nor
mal crop of spring wheat in the Foi
led States.
"As regards the Canadian North
west, the reports that this year's har
vest may he seriously diminished may
have some foundation.
"However, such a condition in the
Canadian Northwest will not make a
great deal of difference when this
year's crop Is harvested. The Cana
dian farmer grows but a smalt por
tion of thostota! erop of wheat, and I
am of tho opinion that the deficiency,
if there should ho any in that part of
the country this year, will hardily bo
noticed when the harvesting through
out the wdrld has been completed.
"in the Southwest there have been
numerous rumors for the last three
weeks of serious damage wrought by
green bugs. These reports of dam
age to thn winter wheat have been
grossly exaggerated. I am in a posi
tion where I get as good information
as anybody regarding the growing
crop. While 1 have had many re
ports about tho green bug, still tli#
damage wi'ought by these insects has
been local in every instance, aAid
there has not been any general attack
by this ptst. as some peoplo are en
deavoring to make It appear.
"From my knowledge of the South
west. where so much of our winter
wheat is grown, the advices I have at
hand lead me to believe that the
Southwest will have it:? usual crop
this year. This applies to oats and
corn as w$ll as to wheat. The crop
as a whole may be delayed somewhat
In ripening, but not enough to cause
any apprehension. Corn v/ill suffer
the most, as plowing for this crop
has been delayed considerably, but 1
see no cause for alarm.
"There ' Is considerable grain
grown between Washington and Chi
cago, and from my personal observa
tion of this part of the United States
I can state wtthod^jittysjreservatlon
that I never in my lif<f*'?Kw brighter
prospects than are prevailing at the
present" time.
, "Taken" as a whol.*\ 1 see no cause
for complaint, and I think it will b3
found, wheu thrashing timo comes,
that all this cry of erop damage has
been made for a purpose."
CONTROL OF DOMINGO.

Santo Domingo.?The new treaty
between tho United States and Santo
Domingo, intended to replace tho
treaty which has been pendlftg before
the United States Senate for the last
two years, was ratlfledr by tho Do
minican Congress.' J
The Dominican treaty marks a new
departure in the relations of the Uni
ted Stales with tho smaller republics
of stho Western Hemisphere, foV in
the case of Santo Domingo the United
States now becomes legally a trustee
in a financial sense, and in the dis
charge of Its new duties must go as
far in the preservation of order as is
necessary for the control of the cus
tom houses and the collection of the
republic's revenues. The treaty

In manv generations that tho first
Child of a King and Queen of Spain
lias been a male.

n. m. Tho announcement was inimo
?llafoly convoyed to tho waiting offi
cials within and tho crowds outside
no palaco. who received tho glad tid
ings with feelings of enthusiasm and
emotion. That tho Queen hod been
blessed with n son a male Imlr to
tho throne ? was no Io?h welcome
than th-? happy event itself.
The formal announcement of the
six of (lie royal Infant was made by
?he Camarnra Mayor, or Mistress of
' H"bps, to Premier Maura, who
formal I v communicated tho f:lrt to
? ho official company in attendance,
the Premier In announcing the birth
used tho words*
"Centlemen. it is a prince."
Tho Infanta Kulalla was at the
King's side as he entered the room
accompanying tho Camnrara Mavor
"nrryinj? rt" huge silver tray, upon
which was lying tho newly horn royal
hahy. covered wiih delicate lace gar
ments. The scene warmest Impres
sive Premier Maufh' at once ad
vanced. and. with/feome hesitation,
relieved (he Mistress of tho Robes of
her precious load. Then, bearing the
tray, the Premier proceeded slowlv
to the centre of the room, where all
present crowded round, anxious to
obtain a glimpse of (ho child, which
was presented to one .often- the other
? n their order of court precedence.
When the curlosltv of all those pres
ent was satisfied the babe was handed
hack to tho Mistress of th? Robes and
by tho latter was given to the royal
nurse, who immediately returned to
the side of the Queen.
As tho nurse disappeared into the
royal apartments a roar of cheering
^ould bo heard from tho outside of
the palaco. Business had been sus
pended for hours previous to tho an
nouncement of tho child's birth. An
immense multitude gathered in the
vicinity of the palace, and when the
royal standard, of red and gold, nat
tered up to the peak of the flags!off
.->11 tho Punt a''-de Dlamonte, making
known that a prince of the Asturlas
was born, a great shout of Joy went
up from the assembled masses. Im
mediately afterward a .salute of twon
ty-ono. guns carried the news to the
most remote confines of the city and
the inhabitants of the surrounding
country. As the sixteenth report re
bounded, for fifteen guns only would
have been fired to announce the birth
of a girl, tho num. women and cliil
iren waiting in tho streets and on
the balconies and roofs gave voice to
their satisfaction, and soon the whole
sltv was pinging with cries of
"Long livo tho Prince!" "Long
live the Queen!" and "Long livo the
King!"
Simultaneously tho public build
ings blossomed out, as if by magic,
with the Spanish colors and, singing,
lancing and otherwise rejoicing al
most the entire population of the elty
aegan streaming In(the direction of
the palace. \
The Queen insists that she will her
self nurse tho child, despite the oppo
sition of the royal household to such
a departure from custom, as she de

The Queen was the first to Kiss the
baby, and sho was followed by tho
two grandmothers. Princess-1 Beatrice
3f Battenberg and Maria Christina,

entor,

wood, first of tho alleged participants
In tho avenging conspiracy by which
It is charged the assassination of
Frank Steunenberg was plotted and
executed, was ptneed on trial for his
life here before Judge Wood. Coun
sel for the State and prisoner began
examining prospective jurors at once.
The opening of the trial was earnest
and businesslike. Its striking feat
ure w?h the absence of crowds or
demonstrations. At no time was the
courtroom more than half tilled, and
the street* forming the Court House
square contained not a single loiterer.
Never have the Issues between cap
Italand labor been brought Into $uch
sharp conlllrt as in the dlRciutaion
over the trluls at Rolse of Charles H,
Mover and William I) Haywood, re
spectively president and secretary of
the Western Federation of Miners,
and George A. Pet illume, former,
member of the Executive Hoard of
the organization, for alleged complic
ity in the assnssln&fion of the late
Governor Frank Steunenberg.
Steunenberg whs blown to pieces
by a bomb as he was entering the
gate of his home at Caldwell on the
evening of December :?0, P.>0 5. A
string had been attached to the gate,
and as Mr. Steunenberg opened the
unto it set off the bomb. As soon as
the news of the murder reached
Hoise that evening Governor Gooding
went to Caldwell by special train and
superintended the efforts to capture
the assassin.
The town was patrolled, and no
one was permitted to enter or leave
without giving a full and satisfactory
account nf himself. In the round up
several suspicious characters were
gathered In. Among them was Harry
Orchard, whose story of his move
ments in Caldwell and his reason for
being there at all were so suspicions
that ho was held on the charge of
hoing implicated li^ Ujr murder. Or
chard was a member of the Western
Federation of Miners. Steve Adams,
another member of the organization,
was also arrested. S mpkifts, a third
member, was implicated, but got
away, and has never been arrested.
In behalf of the State Governor
Gooding offered a reward of $10,000
for the arrest and conviction of the
murderer*. The Steunenberg family
added $5000, and Canyon County in
creased the amount. Pinkerton de
tectives, attracted by the rewards,
took up the case, and James McPart
land, famous us the man who raa,
:lown the "Molly Maguires" in Penri^'
3yfvanla thirty years ago, took charge
of the work for them. MePartland
Anally got from Harry Orchard a
ronfcsslon, In which Moyer, Haywood
and Pettlbone wero Implicated in the
assassination of the ex-Governor.
What corroboration of the story
the. prosecution has it hag kept very
close, but It is asserted that thore Is
% great deal of it. Steve Adams also
confessed, but subsequently recanted.
Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbono
were all In Denver When this Orchard
itory was told. The Idaho authori
ses submitted the evidence then in
their possession to Governor McDon
ald, of Colorado, who granted a war
rant of extradition at Governor Good
ing's request. The men wero ar
rested on a Saturday night, and be
fore any legal steps could be taken in
Jioir behalf to thwart their extradi
tion they were brought Into Idaho on
% special train.
From that dtfy to this their 1 fiends
among the labor men have never
r.cased to charge that they were kid
naped, although the Supremo Court
of the United States sustained tho
procedure. The Westoru Federation
of Miners at once took up the cause
of Its leaders and organized labor
generally throughout the country has
taken similar action.
Money In very large sums has been
subscribed to meet tho expenses of
their defense, and in every way labor
formally has made its own the cause
of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone.
Thus it has come about that the
struggle is really a tost of strength
between the force of law and order
in Idaho on one side and organized
labor on the other.
