Cruiser Dispatched Thither to Look
After the Interests Of
~ Americans.

NEW YORK, Sept. PA special to
The Herald from Washington says the
epidemic of revolutions in South
America seems to be spreading. Colom-
bia is now in danger. Word has reached
the state department that serious trouble
is brewing in consequence of the quar-
antine established against European and
American vessels. The trouble COM
menced by the action of the authorities
at Savanilla in firing on the British mail
steamer Atrato ais warning to keep
out of port. The British residents
have resented this action and
other foreigners, especially mer-
chants, are complaining bitterly at
the action Of Panama authorities
in closing all ports against
European and American ships. Business
is said to be completely paralyzed, and
general discomfort prevails as result.
The American consul has advised that
cruiser be sent there an means of
preventing trouble and to protect Amer
ican interests should the emergency
arise. His request has been promptly
complied with. Admiral Walker was
telegraphed to Wednesday night to dis
patch the Concord to Colon Immediately
and he replied Thursday that the de
partment's order had been complied
with. The Concord should have arrived
at Colon by this time.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Chronicle
contains letter from M. Zerlendi, a
British merchant in Persia, describing
the horrors of the cholera epidemic in
that country. He says: "The conduct
of Miss Bradford, the American lady,
who came to Taurus for the American
missions, stands forth in such striking
relief as to be worthy of note. In the
face Of the general panic, when every.
body was deserting the cholera stricken
town, she worked with calm, unremit-
ting attention, under great difficulties,
nursing cholera patients and encourag.
ing others under the awful circum.
stances of the battle with the epidemic.

that hundreds of Persians owe their

The Alarm Caused by the Tipping

NEW York, Sept. 24.-There are four
Jewish synagogues in the tenement
house No. "a Ludlow street. They were
all crowded with deyout Hebrews at
tending the festival services Of the New
Year, when some person in one of the
places Of worship raised cry of fire.
Immediately there was panic and
everybody rushed for the doors. The
stairway, which is not very wide, be-
came packed with people. They piled
right on top of one another on the
stairway. Some person out on the
street had the presence Of mind
to send out fire alarm, which
brought the departemnt to the
scene. The firemen succeed in extricat-'
ing the people from the blocked stairway
and found that there were four
dead and about dozen injured. The
names of the killed and injured are not
as yet known. A general alarm was
sent for ambulances and in the mean
time the dead and injured were laid out
on the sidewalk. Ambulances from
Bellevue and Gouverneur hospitals
were soon on the scence attending to
the wants Of The injured.
how 1t Happened.
From what can be CLEANED from some
of the worshippers it would appear that
the panic first began in the rooms on the
second floor used as the synagogue Of
the Sons of Aaron. 1t was caused by q
candle falling on the black cloth taber-
nacle. Rabbi Hermowitz, while lead
ing the singing of hymn, accidentally
touched the tabernacle and upset the
candle. In moment the draperies
were ablaze, but were Immediately
thrown out of the window, not,
however, before sevaral women
shouted fire and were frantically
making their way toward the door.
Everybody followed despite the rabbits
entreaties for the congregation to keep
seats assuring them there was no dam
ger. In q few minutes the assemblage
became shouting, struggling mass Of
men, women and children, all intent on
getting out OF the place. There were
400 people on the floor and all surged
through the doors into the narrow hall
ways and down two flights Of steep
stairs.

night that it is difficult to keep from
stepping ON them. A few mornings ago
an east bound train was delayed nearly

on the track. They were crushed un.
der the wheels, which slipped and
stopped the train. They are all headed
in northwesterly direction, but where
