AMERICANS FIRED ON.
An Outrage by the San Domingo
Authorities.
SAILORS TAKEN FOR CONSPIRATORS
Heureaux' Soldiers Were Too
Hasty.
THE GOVERNMENT INFORMED

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The steamer Clyde
from Turks Island, which arrived today,
brings information about an outrage perpe-
trated upon American sailors by the San
Domingo authorities, which will doubtless
raise serious international complications be-
tween the two governments.
Two seamen belonging to the crew Of the
American schooner Henry Crosby were shot
and dangerously wounded by San Domingo
soldiers.
The Henry Crosby was trying to make the
port OF Aqua. which is about ninety miles
from San Domingo City. on December IL.
The captain had lost his bearings and the
schooner approached the port OF OLD Azua,
about ten miles distant from Aqua.
The vessel was anchored and a small boat
was lowered to send ashore for information
as to the locality. The first officer and four
seamen got into the boat and pulled for the
land.
Fired on by Soldiers.
When about 800 yards out, a file OF SOL
diers clad in the uniform Of the Dominican
army, came running down to the beach.
When they reached the waters edge the men
drew up in line, and leveling their carbines
at the men in the Crosbys small boat. fired.
One of the sailors threw up his hands and
ieh at the 1eet or his companions. The
others paused in surprise and alright, when
suddenly another voley was fired from the
shore. By this the first officer was shot
Then the boat was put about and turned
toward the schooner. The sailors rowed
for their lives.
The wounded men were taken aboard the
Crosby. Then 1t was discovered that the
first officer had been shot In the shoulder
and that the seaman had been struck by
several bullets A wound In the back is be-
lieved to be fatal
to make Of such barbarous and unwar-
ranted treatment. He hoistsd sail and after
time reached the PORT of Aqua
Report to the United States Consul,
From there he reported the outrage to
the new United States consul general al
San Domingo City. At the latter's request
the full details of the shooting were writ
ten out by the captain and the report has
been forwarded to the United States Gu
thorities at Washington.
The letter came by the George W. Clyde
and will probably reach the State Depart
ment tonight.
to the American skipper by the Dominican
authorities. 1t is supposed. however. that
the soldiers believed that tie American
sailors were band Of couspira.ors who in
tended to overthrow the government OF
President Heureaux.
The San Domingo officials had informa-
ton of an intended invasion by rebels from
turks Island, Jamaica or Hayti and were
so sure that the invaders were coming that
they did not stop to investigate. although
the Crosby was flying the stars and stripes

From Demorest's Magazine.
A guard tells a good story on a lady who
was visiting a well-known Chicago lady.
and was being shown by her through the
fisheries building. She was in the salt
water section Of the aquarium. in the very
thickest of the pushing. jostling. crowding
mob that constantly gazed Upon the Gagged
denizens OF the deep. Pushing her way
toward the tank where the toad fishes
disported themselves. she suddenly exclaim-
ed:
do look at that great long fish squirting
water out of its nose, Isn't IL wonderful"
The long fish referred to was a lead
water pipe leading from the top to the
bottom OF the section, through which was
sent a constant stream OF salt water, which
came out In sprays through a number OF
little holes in the end of the pipe.
But she wasn't the only person who was
deceived by these pipes that sprayed salt
water In the various sections. Occasion
ally a countryman would be heard to ex.
claim:
Gee whiz! look at that long eel! nevss
saw an eel squirt water like that beforer'

The medical profession really begins
to believe that cancer. can be cured.
The cure is effected through knowledge
Of microbes. There is microbe for
each disease. ,snd the cancer germ has
,beep saiready discovered The first step
toWssd' finding the cure was the discov-
cry thst If patients affected with cancer
were suddenly taken with certain other
diseases 7as. for instance. erysipelas-the
cancer ceased its ravages during the
progress of the other ailmentS This was
known o cesAtury ago. But NOT till.,re-
cehtiy}was thedcause discerned through
the germ theory. 1t was found out that
the bacteria Of certain diseases were hos
tile TO ono another and waged war upon
one another In the human blood when
they met. If, then. the cancer patient is
inoculated with the erysipelas virus, the
microbes Of the two diseases attack one
another, and the erysipelas germ de-
stroys the cancer germ. 1t is claimed
that certain cures Of the dread cancer
have been effected in this way in New
