LAREDO, Tex, Sept 3.-Another outrage com
mtted upon ar American citizen has come to
light, and statement of the facts was forwarded
to the United States Secretary of State yester-
day. In February last one I. G. Schiling, who
is now in this city, was arrested in Piedras
Negras, Mexico, on extradition papers, he being
under bond to appear in Preside county TO stand
trial for assault with intent to kill. While in
Jail he was robbed of jewelry and
cash to the amount of several hundred
dollars. On returning from Preside county,
where no had stood trial and been acquitted, he
demanded of the jaier his money and jewelry;
also his other private property, consisting of a
complete barbers outfit. The officers there
laughed at him, and he threatened to lay the
matter before the governor of Coahuia. Shortly
after this he had prepared to start for Saltio to
see the Governor On the morning of his de-
parture he was standing in the door of his board
ing house, bidding the family goodbye when a
policeman came up behind him, and taking
Schillings pistol out of his (Schilling's)
pocket, shot him three times, the first
two balls making slight flesh wounds, and the
third breaking his right arm close to the shoul
der Schilling then thrown into jail and
received no medical aid, nor was any food
given him that day. His arm was becoming in
famed. and there was nothing done for it ex-
cept to allow him to bathe it in a sort of cess
pool in the prison. Three days later q doctor
came to the prison and gave him bottle
of carbolic acid to put on the wound. No com
munication was allowed with the prisoner and
the doctor was not permitted to call
again Schilling finally applied to the United
States consul, but that gentleman said the
United States would not back him up. Schilling
then wrote to the government officials at Wash
ington, who referred the matter to Consul Linn,
with instructions to see to the case at once That
gentleman, however, did nothing. Then,
through the influence of personal friends and
the German consul at Monterey, Schilling was
released, having been a prisoner for over two
months and being robbed of nearly everything
he possessed, although some of his jewelry was
returned. Schilling is of German birth, but
has lived in Texas thirty five years. and conse-
quently claims American citizenship.

A Shock Last Night Which Caused Great
Apprehension, but Did Little Damage.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-At 1l:03 P. NJ. heavy
shock of earthquake was reported Simultaneous
ly from Columbia, S. c.; Charleston, S. c.;
Augusta, Ca, and Charlotte, N. G. Charleston
reports it the heaviest experienced since Tues
day night Occupants Of buildings are again
pouring into the streets at Charleston, the print
ers leaving the newspaper Offices and the South
ern Telegraph Company's operators leaving
work, fearing that the buildings they are in,
which are badly shattered, may fall on them.
They soon returned, however, and resumed
business The last shock, at IL o'clock tonight,
did not last more than six or eight seconds, and
still further shook and damaged many buildings
already cracked. It created a panic. The peo-
pie soon recovered self-possession, but prefer
not to leave the middle of the streets. 1t is too
late to give details of the effects, but the multi
tude in the streets tell of the terror prevailing

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Sept. AT o'clock this

the question. If Charleston was ever demoral-
lied, it is at this moment, and tonight. The
suspense is awfully appalling. A revisitation of
the earthquake shock is feared by all, and

Urgent Need of Shelter for the People-Shaky
Condition of Buildings.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 3-There is no
special change in the situation this morning but
as there we're only two shocks, and very light
ones during the night. there is little more con-
fdence than yesterday. The sympathetic arti-
cles in the newspapers and offers of aid from
different quarters are great encouragement to
the stricken people of Charleston. The most
urgent need now is for the early repair of in
jured buildings, so as to make them habitable.
High winds and heavy rains would bring many
shattered buildings to the ground and injure the
hundreds of residences which have defective
roofs 1t would be of great service if corps
of government engineers could be sent here at
once to examine houses and other buildings and
determine which of them can be safely occupied
or allowed to stand. The local architects have
their hands more than full The President has
authorized the Secretary of War to send here
four hundred tents. but more than that number
are needed. It is reported that there was a.
severe shock at Summerville this morning, but
the report is not yet authenticated Many rep
resentatives of leading journals are here this
morning to write up and Photograph the city.
The situation is still deplorable. Rudely i'm
provised tents, constructed principally of bed
clothing, are to be seen eveyerywhere. Few
persons have as yet slept Indoors. and the
houses are deserted as if plague-stricken.
Thousands have slept with nothing but the can
opy OF heaven above them. After the parks and
squares were filled, last night, the inhabitants
suspended overcoars, bed-quilts, etc., from
fences over the sidewalks, and thus passed the
night Many enjoyed repose under open um-
brelas, the handles of which were stuck in the
ground. The more aristocratic people camped
in their own yards The. .colored people say they.

another night has passed, and they may be seen

had not thrown my hands out and clung to the

lifted up and swung backwards and forwards a
distance of fifteen or twenty inches at

on my mind that should endeavor to get out Of

as the state capitol, will naturally feel
the first movement of every impetus

high schools are of the very first order
and sufficient pride is taken in them to
make them all that can be desired. Of
denominational, business and private
schools, academies and colleges there is
no lack. While, to crown all, there is
the state university, with its varied de-
partments, and landed endowment
that in few years will place at its dis
posal all the means nece sary to carry on
its work untrammeled by any lack of

will have their weight in determining
location, especially by those who have
families to educate. 1t is not every city

as citizens a just pride in calling the at

Early Spanish Explorers Of North
America.
LBy Lorenzo Castro for the LIGHT.


Spanish history, supported by
unimpeached documents, proves
that Spanish explorers and con-
querers discovered, before any
other nation, the following por-
ton of the North American con-
tinent, viz: Florida, in the first
expedition under the command of
Juan Ponce de Leon, in the year
1912; by the second expedition
commanded by Lucus Vasguez de
Ayllon, in 1923: by the third under
command of PamfilO Narvaez in
1927; by the fourth commanded
by fernando de Soto, in 1888,
who was succeeded by Luis
MOcOso in 1912, and by Pedro
Melendez some years afterwards,
the latter having remained as
governor of Florida. All these
discoveries and Spanish conquer
Ors disembarked in the bays of
Santa Rosa, in that of st. Ber-
nard or Espiritu Santo, and other
points of that vast extent of coast
and penetrated the following
countries, that of Harrihigua,
MoscOsO, Umbarracuri, Amera,
Grail, Apalachi, Alsapalia, Cola,
MObila, Chasquien, Guingate Uhan
que and Guacheya, where Her
nandO de Soto died, after having
crossed the Mississippi river and
penetrated the country as far as
the Rio Negro, (black riverO in
1542. In all these countries the
Spanish established numbers of
settlements and forts. In 1862
the French, under Ribaut. disem-
barked in Florida and founded

DUDISH BEVERAGES IN NEW YORK.
The Whms OF the Moment in Drinking.
Fashion Among the Gilded Youth.

Many queer drinks are called for
at the fashionable uptown bars in
the course of the day, and most
of them are promptly compounded
by the bar-tenders. "Gimme
clam cocktail" | heard a young
dude order yesterday at the HOtf-
man House; "a large glass and hot
as possible" The bartender was
not surprised, but remarked calm
ly as if he had been asked for a
milk punch, you'll have to wait
while | send to the kitchen for
clam juice" | found afterwards
that clam cocktails are much in
vogue among men who have been
drinking very hard and have so
weakened their stOmachs as to be
unable to take food. Clam juice
is said to be better than medicine
for restoring tone to the stomach.
1t is made into a cocktail by the
addition of whisky or gin. and is
usually further fortified with
either black or red pepper. 1t
was red pepper the dude wanted
when he ordered his cocktail hot
for the clam juice itself is always
drank cold.
Tea was ordered in various
ways, always cold, and as me-
dunn for taking stronger liquor.
1t is coming into great favor with
nervous folks, who order whisky
added to iced tea, and boast that
it cures nervousness. sick head
ache and | don't know what all.
1t is in great demand by card
players, who keep themselves
awake with it during all night
bouts at cards. Tea cObblers"
are much in demand at the ladies'
places on upper Broadway and
Sixth avenue, and are simply
glasses of cold tea, milk, sugar
and whisky. An economical and
very tasteful drink that is current
among young clubmen just now is
the "clam shandy- gait" which is
made by mixing a pint of cham
payne with quart of ginger ale.
One beauty of it is that it has all
the harmlessness Ofbeer and is a
score of times more pleasant.
That can't be said of "brindle,"
another fashionable and new de-
coction made of champagne and
porter in equal parts. 1t tastes
as harmless as angelica wine, but
it is calculated to make those who
drink it think next morning that
they must have loaned their heads
to ball nine to play with over
night.

He Took a Bath.

a Chicago gentleman, whose
college education also included a
thorough familiarity with mixed
drinks, anchored in our city on
Thanksgiving morning. The next
day he made himself numerous
and found location wherein to
display an elegant collection of
fine engravings, etchings and
paintings i'll water cOlors. Bust
ness was not as brisk as it might
have been, so he used most of his
time in having good time and
making it pleasant and entertain
ing for some young fellows he was
intimate with when he resided
here six years ago. Encourage
ment such as whisky punch, cock
tails and other eXhilerating bever-
ages soaked his hide so thorough
ly that when he decided to return
to Chicago he thought it best to
get some of the whisky out of his
system and go sober. Acting
upon the advice of a companion,
who had sailed in the same boat,
he went to the artesian bath house
with determination TO sweat it
out with a hot bath. The bath
had the desired effect, but as the
stimulating effects of the mixed
drinks began to wear off, out
ragged nature asserted itself and
he dropped asleep. He dreamed
sweetly of Star City grass widow
he once met in Chicago. As he
dreamed he began to slip gradual
ly down towards the foot of the
tub, until his head was clear I'M
der water. How long he remain
ed in that predicament is not
known; but fortunately for him an
attendent happened into the room
and seeing his dangerous posi-
ton pulled him out of the tub
more dead than alive. 1t was a
very narrow escape, and but for
the fortunate appearance of the
attendant the Courier would have
had the sad death of a promising
young Chicago picture dealer to
record Lafayette Courier.
