CRntnin Kinks Story.

PORT JEFFERSON, L. l., March H.
Capt. Kirk was around town to-day wearing
a broad smile of satisfaction. 1t was Kirk
who commanded the yacht Natalie and who
took her TO Savannah. There was a great
mystery about the Natalie. She left Port
jefferson bay Dec 6. She had been built
for Bridgeport Comm parties to test
patent steering gear. The yacht then be-
came the property of a New York man
named Atwater, by whom she was sold to
the people who employed Kirk to take her
south. The representative of the purchas-
ers was Capt. Anthony Salna, who was
in command Of the yacht when captured by
the Haytian war ships. and who. if the
reports are correct was shot, together with
the others of the crew. Salina held a COM
mission as master of ocean-going steam
ers. While at Port Jefferson he seemed
anxious TO hide his identity. He regis
tered at Smiths Hotel as Thomas Nelson.
but was recognized by Captain Darton,
who had known him as an instructor Of
navigation in New York city. About the
village the mysterious captain was dubbed
Captain Natalie The day before the yacht
sailed from here she narrowly escaped de-
struetion by fire, her pilothouse being badly
damaged.
Captain Kirk says: "I was employed by
Salina TO take the yacht TO Philadelphia.
Not until we reached Staten island did
have any intimation that we were bound
elsewhere. The yacht was run into by the
Baltimore steamer Bruin during the trip
through the canal at Delaware City. She
was hauled out at Baltimore and repaired.
Salina was in receipt of frequent kilograms.
At Baltimore foreign gentleman came on
board and saw Salina. Then he asked me
if / would take the yacht TO Savannah We
stopped at Norfolk. Before we left Salina
asked me if l was familiar with the Ba-
hamas. We reached Savannah on Dec. "a.
There the engine was overhauled and guam
titles of stores were taken aboard. On
Jan. Salina said he had received orders
to lay the yacht up, so | was paid off and
started for home the next day. l had no
information as to the final destination OF
the yacht She was in good order, much
better than when she left here" Captain
Kirk says he was the only American citl-
zen on board the Natalie when she reached
Savannah

WATER SPOUTS AT SEA.
A Captain Describes Three Seen While
His Ship Was Near Cape Hatteras.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE British
steamer Castillian Prince, Captain Coull,
arrived here to-day from West India ports.
Captain Coull states that on March 3, at 1
D. m, off Cape Hatteras, bearing north
northwest, thirty miles distant, he passed
close to three large water spouts, one of
which presented a well-defined and beauti-
full appearance, reaching from the sky to
the water. 1t looked like two large tunnels,
one inverted under the other 1t circled
close around the ship and caused much
alarm aboard the vessel The wind, at the
time, was blowing a fresh southeast breeze
when it suddenly veered all around the
compass and ended in IL squall from the
northeast The water spout finally burst
about a quarter of mile astern of the
vessel and, striking the sea with tre-
mendous force churned the water into
foam for a considerable distance. The 9TH
er two water spouts passed at quite a dis
tance from the vessel, greatly 10 the relief
of all on board.

HER CREW EXECUTED.
Reported Seizure of the Yacht Natalie
by HippoIyte's GunbOat.


NEW YORK, March u.-News received
here confirms the report of the seizure of
the steam yacht Natalie and the execution
Of her crew. A few days ago the Natalie
was discovered by a passing vessel an
chored off Fortune island, about four hun
dred miles north of Hayti, and Haytian
gunboat was also anchored in close pTox-
unity to her. 1t was learned that President
Hippolyte had expressed the determination
that the Natalie'S cargo of arms and
munition should not fall into the hands of
his enemies and had given orders that, in
case she should attempt TO leave Fortune
island, she must be seized by the Haytian
gunboat, which had been on the lookout for
her some time before her arrival al Fortune
island.
The Natalie was fitted out at Savannah,
Ga, and it was supposed her cargo of arms
was intended for Brazil, though her COM
mander Captain Salina, said she belonged
TO private parties. who were going TO Flori-
da points TO hunt and fish. Jan. Is, last,
seventy-five OF one hundred packages were
delivered on board the yacht. These con-
tanned arms, among them two HotchkisS
guns and a large number of army rifles,
besides a quantity of ammunition. Captain
Salina claimed to be from France and al
most all his crew were foreigners. The
Natalie was about eighty feet in length
and of forty tons capacity. She did not
take out papers at the custom house, as
she claimed to have been a pleasure yacht

RiOtOuS MObS at Milwaukee Warning
With the Authorities.

Angry ViraRoes Assault the City's
Guardians With clubs, Potato
Washers, Rolling Pins and Sauer
Kraut Stampers-No End of Broken
Heads and Bunged Eyes the Result
of the Fighting.
Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 29.-The South
side Polish and Low German districts
are in the possession of bowling mob.
City Health Commissioner Kempster has
dropped all effort to control the situation
there, and the state board of health,
which is sitting to-day, will probably de-
clare quarantine on the infected dis
trict 10 be strictly enforced by stretching
a Gordon of state troops around it.
This is plan that has heretofore been
discussed and tacitly agreed upon as an
emergency resort.
The south side mob are driving the
guard away from houses quarantlned by
the health department and defy the au-
thorities to take any more patients to the
isolation hospital, which, they say, is so
badly managed that nearly half the pa
tients taken there die within a week.
Two rioters arrested yesterday afternoon
were discharged to-day, though fifty DO
lice engaged in yesterdays battle
with the 800 angry women showed
a dozen or more broken heads and
gathered up bushel or two of
clubs, potato mashers, rolling pins,
sauerkraut stampers and other evidences
of the earnestness of the rioting. Mean
time the new temporary barracks near
the principal residence section of the city
is in process of erection despite threats Of
enraged residents that they will burn the
place down before the first patient arrives
there. Fifteen new cases are reported
to-day, all from the riotous district.
Tonight the health department has
temporarily abandoned the south side.
Fifteen new cases of smallpox were re-
ported from that section to-day
all from the Eleventh ward, but
DR.. Kempster ordered his Of
ticers to keep away No attempts
will be made tonight to investigate new
cases or remove patients. The Eleventh
ward is in the hands of squads of angry
/ people, who are marching up and down
the streets seeking for quarantined
/ places. In three or four instances the
| guards have been obliged to desert their
/ posts
The state board of health was in session
/ all day at PfisJer, but nothing was de-
| cided upon. Whether the state board
will take control is doubtful, but the
Eleventh ward will undoubtedly be quar-.
antined and law and orc er restored, if it
| req uires state troops to do it.

TO SERVE The SOUTH.
Southern Development Convention at
The National Capital.

Systematic Organization to Promote
and Develop Southern Industries.
Proposed Registration of Invest
ments That viii Command Capital
and Filing of Prospectuses and In
dorsements-Listo Of Speakers.
Washington, Aug. % The Southern
Development convention will begin to-
morrow in this city. A general want is
felt for an organized method Of investiga-
tion and development of southern invest
ments and resources. This convention is
the product of common sentiment to
reach that end. 1t seeks to crystalize
into action the common thought of the
south, and by means of this convention
to evolve some plan of united action on
the part of the representatives from every
southern state.
The hope is INDUCED that this will re
suit in the establishment Of permanent
exhibition of southern resources at the
national capital with an auxiliary bu-
reau, in which the various investments
eligible to elicit capital may be recorded,
prospectuses fled with Endorsements
from trustworthy sources, and thus re-
liable medium be established between
northern capital NOW so largely center
ing in Washington and the rich fields for
development in the south

mittee Of arrangements are Col Samuel

CAUGHT RED-HANDED.
Boodler Arrested With the Money for
His Vote in His Pocket.

New Orleans, Aug. Councilman
Numa Doudoussat, one of the city hall
boodlers, fell into new trap this morn
ing and was caught red-handed in crime.
Doudoussat is man of family, but he has
been looked upon as one of the big bood-
lers OF the council. Mr.. Sherman has
been trying for several DAYS to get Dou-
d0ussat TO vote for an ordinance which
sherman wished to have passed by the
council. Doudoussat finally agreed to
sell his vote for 500 in cash and Sherman
made an engagement with him to settle
THIS morning at 5 O'lOck, at Sher-
mans grocery store. Just before s
O'Clock, Private Detective O'Malley and
Omcer AncOin entered the grocery and
obtained from Sherman the numbers and
description of the bills to be paid to the
councilman, and then stationed them
selves where they could see the whole
transaction Doudoussat entered the
grocery on time and Sherman took him
over to a corner and there counted out to
him the money, O'Malley and Ancoin
being in position to see what took place.
After the settlement had been made Dou-
doussat invited Sherman to drink, and
while they were at the bar the officers
stepped up and arrested the councilman
He was indignant at first, but they took
him to the police station and he was
searched. The bills were found on his
person, and he was charged with receiv-
ing bribe. He has not yet given bond.
Doudoussat is already under an indict-
ment

THE FIRE FIEND.
An Early Morning Blaze in New York
Causes Three Deaths.

New York, Aug. 29.-The 6-story build
ing, No. 226 Rivington street, was burned
at 2 80 o'clock this morning With one
exception all of the six floors were occu-
pied by tailor shops. The fire started on
the third floor in Fabricius Levene's
tailor shops, and in less than ten minutes
the flames had started up the stairways
to the roof. Eiremen were on the ground
three minutes after the alarm was sent
out, and ladders were put up against the
iron fire escape. Fireman Timothy Col
Inns was the first to start up the ladder.
He had not climbed more than ten feet
when a wild yell was heard above the
noise of the shouting tiremen and roaring
flames. Then the Mortified crowd saw
boy, clad only in an undershirt, shoot out
from fifth story The boy landed on
Collins hard rubber helmet, and the boy
and fireman went TO the ground together.
The boy was killed almost instantly. Col
Inns was knocked insensible He is seri-
ously injured and his recOv-
cry is doubtful. When the
flames were extinguished the firemen
found on the fifth floor the bodies of a
watchman named Herman and a boy.
Both boys were Hermans sons. The
property loss is small.

Columbia, S. c., Aug 29-Gov. Till

noon that a race riot was imminent at
Harlin City, small town in Orangeburg
county. He ordered the Santee Rifles of
that county to put themselves at the dis
posal of Trial Justice 0. b. WhetseI.
The negroes in that section have formed
a com blnaticn not to pick cotton for less
than fifty cents hundred for white far
mers, and forty cents for colorod far
mers. An old negro who violated this
agreement and picked for white man at
forty cents per hundred was taken out of
his house by mob Of negroes last night
and severely beaten.
Several negroes were arrested for the
crime, and this undoubtedly incensed the
the negroes Owing to the poor telegraph
facilities there, nothing further could be
learned. The presence of military com
pany would quickly put down any trou-
BILE, however, without bloodshed.

TO THE DUTCH.
Native Troops Under a Rajah Well
Nigh Wipe Them Out.

Their Water Supply Gave Out and
They Were Forced to Retreat Under
Heavy Fire and With Great Loss.
Two other Columns Defeated and
Driven by Their PIucky Enemy-The
Loss in Men and Guns-The Holland
Government Aroused.
The Hague, Holland Aug. 29.-The
of5cial Journal to-day publishes a dis
match which show that the disasters to
the Dutch forces operating against the
Raiah of the Island of Lombok, near
lava. we're much more serious than
At first supposed. The dis
match SAYS that Gen. Vetter, the
commander of the expedition, was
surDrised at IL o'clock at night near
Tiakra. Negara The firing was continu-
Gus till morning, and the Dutch in this
epgagement lost IA killed and S5 wounded.
As the water supply of the column failed,
and as foraging was impossible, the
Dutch troops we're compelled to retreat
toward Mataram, the capital of the
island.
During the retreat the Dutch lost
heavily, being continually harrassed by
the natives, and at one portion of the
route they found that barricades had
been raised. These obstructions were so
stoutly defended by the native warriors
that the troops were unable to
force passage, and were, conse-
Quently, compelled to make a long de-
tour in order to avoid the blockaded
route and in doing so they lost more men.
The Dutch succeeded in reaching Am
penan on Aug. 27, with total of casual
ties far in excess of the nun Der first re
ported. The killed include 4 officers
and 63 men; there were 10 officers and
l53 men wounded and officers and las
men missing, In addition, the Vetter
column lost four field guns.
But this is not all. 1t now appears
that two other columns of Dutch troops
operating upon the same island have
sustained heavy losses and endured much
suffering. These are the columns com
nanded by Coils. Van Pabst and Blyevelt.
These columns have been operating
separately, and have also succeeded in
reaching Ampena. Their losses are not
stated but they are admitted to be heavy.
Col. Van Pabst was among the officers
killed with his column. Five steamers
carrying the troops and field guns leave
Batavia Java, for Lombok tomorrow,
and every effort will be made to retrieve
the disaster to the Dutch arms.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
A Few Mills Resume and l 900 Men
GO to Work.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. 29.-The
north end was astir al of an hour earlier
this morning than it has been at any time
since the great strike clogged the wheels
of industry. AS early as o'clock opera
tives with dinner pals in their hands
and Overalls and aprons under their arms
were to be seen vending their way to the
Bennett and Columbia mills. Hundreds of
employees of other mills, some impelled by
curiosity and others moved by a hope of
securing employment, turned their faces
in the same direction. Promptly at 6:30
the buzz, hum and whirr of the machinery
replaced the silence which has reigned
since the greatest strike in New Bed
ford's history became master of the in
dustrial situation. Not all of the army
of workers attached to these great enter
prlses were so fortunate as to be able TO
resume their labOrs. Some were deS-
tined 20 disappointment Columbia mill
No. 2 still remains silent, and in No. l
mill seven or eight pairs OF mules are still
idle. Three pairs of mules in Bennett
mill No. 2 were not started and five pairs
in No. l mill are not in operation The
exact number by which the ranks of the
unemployed have been curtailed by the
starting up of the mills cannot be deter
mined. but probably about 900 are now
at work at these plants.
SITUATION GENERALLY UNCHANGED.
The strike situation remains practi-
cally unchanged and little excitement at
tended the opening of the Bennett and
Columbia mills this morning The stir
ring speeches made on the common have
not put the manufacturers in very good
state of mind, although they refuse to
have anything to say in reply to any Of
these meetings, it being against their
policy to be drawn into conversation
about any action the strikers may take of
this kind
The operatives have hopeful feeling
since the managers of the Bennett and
Colum bia mills have given in to their de-
mands. The exodus of mill help from che
city has partially ceased, and Yesterday
were sold, making 100 in all. BY the
starting up Of the Bepaett and Columbia
mills about one-tbird of the card and
picker room help Is now employed.
