RIOT ON A GUANO ISLAND.
SEVERAL AMERICANS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
KILLED AT NAvASSA.
THE cALENA ORDERED FROM HAYTI TO THE
SCENE OF THE DISTURBANCE - THE
STORY DISCREDITED IN BALTI-

Washington Sept. ia cable dispatch has been
received at the Department of State from Consul
Allen, at Kingston, Jamaica, saying that rot
occurred at Navassa, an island in the Caribbean
Sea- in which riot a number of Americans were
killed. The Consul says that at his request
a British warship had left Jamaica for the scene
Immediately upon receipt of the news Of the
trouble The dispatch contained no further in
formation IL is learned at the Navy Depart
ment that the United States steamship Galena is
now on her way TO NavasSa, and will probably
arrive there tomorrow. She was at ST. Nicolas
Mole. Hayti, when news of the riot received
at Washington and was at once ordered TO
Nayassa This island is under particular
jurisdiction, but is regarded as under the pro-
lection of the United States. 1t is about $50
miles from Kingston, and is known as guano
island
Baltimore Sept. I9.-The Navassa Guano Com
pany of New-York. has owned Navassa Island
since 1854. The receivers of the company in
Baltimore say that they did hear by an incoming
ship Of some little trouble but that only yeSter-
day they had cable dispatch by way of London
in which no mention is made of trouble. and that
their foreman has been there three years and
never had any difficulty, and that it is unlikely
that he has now. The Baltimore agents of the
company think that probably an English captain,
thinking he could make better charter elsewhere
and wishing to break the charter with the COM
pany, went over to Kingston and made this false
report. The company has employed on the island
so men sent from Baltimore cOlored laborers and
white officers; and the only harm the report can
do is unnecessarily to alarm the families of these

CASE IN MINNESOTA WHERE AGUE WAS FOL

,BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. !


st. Charles, Mimi, Sept. 19.-In the sleepy
little village Of Utica. six miles from here. lives
Herman Harms, who has been sleeping soundly
most OF the time for the last twelve years. People
are familiar with the story all up and down the
valley Thousands Of people have been to visit
the man. Doctors have come long distances
TO see him. What the secret of his long sleep
is. no one has been able 10 discover. The story
Is not legend, neither is the sleeepr myth
lie Is sleeping still. The doctors say that he
may live and sleep twenty gears 70 come.
Harms is German about 6fty-one years old.
Twelve years ago he WIS seized with fever and
ague. lie had long spells OF feyefed sleep for
four years. Then the mysterious spell seemed
to leave him, and for three years he was almost
a well man. May l2, os4, Harms ate his
morning meal as usual Suddenly he felt
stupor coming over him. He put down the cup
that he held in his hand. rose and cast himself
heavily upon the bed. Almost before he touched
the bed he was asleep. For three years he sunl-
bered. lie did not even dream. He lived. but
it was living death Many remedies were tried
but they did no good
The strangest thing about this mysterious man
is that in this period of three years Harms woke
every night of his own accord about 12 o'clock,
rose lamlshed. ate his supper and went back TO
bed. Once every day he emerged from oblivion
and talked with his friends. entered for a few mo-
ments into the old family life and then slipped
away again. At the end of three years he again
rose from his bed but his limbs had grown
weak from long disuse. He was able
to totter about the house in feeble way, IN con-
stant fear that sleep would again oyertake him.
- For few days he walked out in the sunlight.
For few months he kept awake. Then he felt
the Stupor come upon him. His eyes grew heavy,
his limbs leaden, and he sank down under the
weight of sleep. This time he has been asleep
for nearly two years, Sut he does not awake
in the way he formerly did. He cannot rise
in bed, and it is plain that he is gradually sink
Ing. Now he wakes only when he is awakened
It has been suggested that he is in a hypnotic
condition. that while his body sleeps his mind Is
living another life
