CAPTAIN cRocKER's EXPERIENCE.
Was Ashore in Santiago Harbor Sixty
Hours.

New York, September 19-The Ward
ilne steamer Niagara, Capt. Crocker,
from South Side Cuban ports, arrived
th1s morning after being ashore in San
tlago harbor for over go hours. The Nj
agara left this port August 26 last oD
ner usual trip to Cuban ports via Mas
sau, Bahamas. On September 9, at pm.
tne Niagara on entering the harbor of
Santiago grounded on the Colorado
shoals. A Cuban pilot was in charge at
the time of the accident. An attempt
was made to back off the shoals, but with
out success. The vessel remained in an
easy position on muddy and sandy
bottom for nearly three days. Mean
while all her cargo was discharged into
lighters, also her supply of coal and the
waters in her boilers pumped out in or
der to tighten the vessel as much as posi-
BILE before attempting to float her. Final
" on September 10, the British steamer
Memeluje and powerful towboat, sue
ceeded in hauling the vessel off. Capt.
Crooker and Chief Officer Hathaway
made careful examination of the steam
er and found her uninjured. Not drop
of water was found in any of the holds.
The steamer then proceeded into the har-
Dor and reloaded her cargo and Goals and
proceeded on her voyage. Capt. Crocker
declined to talk about the accident which
was evidently the fault of the Cuban
pilot.

that the slight buckling of the Indiana s
bottom was of no consequence as was
indicated by the fact that the ship took
her place in the squadron Immediately
after leaving dock and manoeuvred as
satisfactorily as could be desired. Mr..
Roosevelt has just received this letter
from one of the captains of the squadron
AS for the Indiana, no leak or strain

HEADS OF THE POLICE ARRESTED;
Mexican Government Investigating Recon,
Lynching OF Arroyo.

City Of Mexico, September 19.-Eduardo
Velasquese, chief of police; Lieut.. Cab.
reora, assistant chief of detectives, and
Commandant Mauro Sanchez were arrest
ed last night and placed in solitary con-
flnement by order Of the fifth criminal
judge to whom had also been turned over
21 prisoners arrested for entering the
municipal building on the night of the
recent lynching. Public opinion is be-
hind the government and the investiga-
tion will be pushed rapidly. The offic-
ials arrested were accompanied to the
prison by the new chief of police.
Ehe government by these arrests has
taken precautions demanded by popu-
lar sentiment which has become exces-
sively irritated, for the public does not
understand why a prisoner of SO great
Importance as Arroyo should be left in
charge of unarmed officials. High offic-
ials of the federal government have to
some extent shared the popular feeling,
and it is reported that at the regular
cabinet meeting Friday several ministers
urged that the conduct of the police
should tc thoroughly Investigated. A
communication was accordingly sent %tr
Gov. Rebollar of the federal division fo1
transmission to the inspector general,
in which the latter was informed that
he must give up his Office Immediately
He is censured for not having taken prop
Or precautions in guarding the prisoner.

sOME GREAT KITE FLYING.
All Previous Records Were Broken at Blue
Hill Sunday.

Blue Hill Observatory, Mass, Septem-
ber 19-All kite records were broken here
this afternoon when the topmost kite of
string of seven, all of the Hargrave
type, on four miles of wire, attained an
latitude of 10, 016 feet above the sea level.
The first kite was sent up about noon,
and the great height was reached at AT.
The day was particularly favorably for
the flight.
AS usual an aluminium box was sent up
containing all instrument for. recording
pressure, temperature and humidity.
At the highest point the instrument
recorded temperature of IS degrees,
while it WAS 63 at the surface of the
earth. At height of 1000 feet.the hui
midity rose rapidly, but sank again at
a mile where it was quite low. At 700C
feet it rose again, and soon reached a
point where there was almost com
plete saturation in the air. From there
up the atmosphere became drier, until
at the highest point there was scarcely
any moisture recorded
1t took the steam engine little over
two hours to reel in the four miles Of
wire.
From observation obtained in the up
per atmosphere it does not appear that
any sudden change in the temperature
is probable for day or SO. the fall in the
temperature being about the average.

LEUTaERT USED ROUGHLY.
A Friendly scuff1e With Fellow Prisoner
Developed Into Fight.

Chicago, September 19.-It came to
light today that Luetgert, the alleged wife
murderer, indulged in fight last We'd
nesday afternoon with VIM. Young, a
prisoner confined in the same tier on a
charge of robbery. The affair started in
a friendly scuff1e, but when Luetgert saw
his opponent was getting the better Of
him he lost his temper and began "rush-
ing" his man. Young, however, who is
quick and muscular, caught him around
the waist and literally hurled him back
wards almost 20 feet against the tile pave
ment and steel door. @a
The jail physician say the fall wrenched
one of the hgaments of the thigh and il
may be weeks before he fully recovers.
When the trial is resumed Tuesday the
prosecution is expected to consume only
the morning session in winding up Its
case. The principal part of the evidence
will be attempted to explain the re.
markable chain of circumstances which
the state claim shows Mrs. Lue tgert was
murdered by her husband.

BROUGHT SALISBURY AROUND.
Mr.. sherman's Note Was Sharp, But Had
Desired Effect.

Washington. Septeraher 19-The Off
cials of the State 1 ! artment are uot
disposed to comment on the fur seal cor
respondence given out by the British
foreign office and summarized in the
London Times further than to say that
it shows the object sought by the gov
ernment of the United States for the
past three years has been attained by
the agreement Of Great Britain to par
ticipate in the conference to be held in
October. The continued refusal of the
British government to consent to such a
commission and conference, led to the
TRANSMISSION to Ambassador Hay of Sec
retary Shermans note of May 10, which
was followed Iby Lord Salisbury's reply
agreeing to the conference.
The communication from the colonial
office, which is referred to as Mr.. Cham
berlain's answer to Secretary Sherman,
has not been communicated to the State
Department, and therefore an official re-
ply cannot be made.

tions for one week. Shortly after 6
o'clock this evening young lady called
to see him and upon. visiting his room

1t was evident that he had been dead
but short time, and bottle that had
contained hydro cyannic acid, explained
how his death had been caused. The

city this evening. He had been in Bos-
ton visiting friends on several occasions
lately and always appeared to be in the
best of spirits. He was a painter by
trade and had been employel by the La

months ago, and since that time had
made his residence in Manchester, N. H.

be assigned for the suicide.

or his antecedents. Mrs. Lyford, with
whom Lyford has not lived for eight
wears. is a hardWorking woman in one
Of the mills in this city, and resides at
No. Is Arlington street. 1t was thought
best not to awaken her tonight and tell
her the tidings, and all information
that could be procured was from male
relative who lived in the same house.
Lyford was known among his painter
friends as ''Looney" Lyford, and were
not surprised at his action. Lyford went
to work at Laconia eight years ago, and
refused to support his wife. She worked

, THE INDIAN UPRISING.
English Have Failed To Win Decisive
Victory.
VARIOUS COLUMNS ARE ADVANCING
AGAINST MAHMOUKIS.

Gen. Jeffrey Attacks the Enemy at Sihase
of Observation-Disclosures Driven Back
But Reappear With Fresh Forces-Mes-
sage From the Queen.
Bombay, September 19.-The advlces
from the front show that the various
columns are advancing against the Man
moukis from Panjkora and Shabkadr.
AS yet they have met with no serious OPP
position, but the difficulties Of transporta-
tion in mountainous and almost path
less country, are immense. A formidable
obstacle in the way of the movement IS
the lack of water.
The brigade of General Jeffrey's yester-
day left Camp Atanayat with 16 compa-
MES of infantry and four guns, in order
to reattack the enemy at the village OF
Damodota The enemy made desperate
resistance, but were driven out into the
hills.
The British demolished their towers
and captured 400 mule loads of supplies.
AS soon as the troops began to retlre
from the village the enemy reappeareo IN
force. The retirement, however, was
effected with great precision, the native
troops behaving splendidly. Two S1khs
were killed and six wounded.
1t is now known that the enemy's loss
during the fight on Thursday last be-
tween the Momunds and the Second
Brigade was very severe. Capt. Ryder's
company of Sikhs virtually owed their
lives to an Afridis sergeant Of the
guides corps who, when the. Sikhs had
exhausted their ammunition and were
desperately cutting their way back
though, the enemy dashed upIthe hill
under heavy fire with a supply of cart
ridges. He arrived just in the nick of
time.
1t appears that the enemy lost $50 men
before they captured the Saragai police
post. They burned alive two Sikh cooks
whom they captured while out hunting
for firewood.
The Queen has Esent the following-de-
spatch to the reverse near Camp Anayat:I
81 am deeply grieved at the loss Of SO
many brave officers and men. I earnestly
desire to be informed as to the condition
of all the wounded. The conduct of the
troops was most admirable -
Peshawur, September 19-The lower
Mohmands south of here, have submitted
and have agreed to pay a heavy fine and
to surrender their arms.
