Emperor William Furnishes Ideas for
Drama

NEW YORK, July 5.-A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Berlin says:
Kaiser Wilhelm has prepared another
surprise for the literary world. This
time his ambition is histrionic, and Pro-
fessor Buettner has been chosen to
clothe the imperial conceptions in dra-
matte array. 1t will be recalled that last
| year Germany's versatile ruler pre-
sented three allegorical tableaux to the
world the details of which were left to
Professor Knackfus to be executed.
Within a fortnight these three allegori-
cal depictions Will be publshd in dra-
matte form.
Under the personal direction of his
Majesty, Professor Buettner has, it is
announced, produced a most satisfac-
tory work. The composition is called
Der Deutsche Sanct Michel" and is a
heroic drama in three acts. Each act de-
velops one of the allegorical parts,
though in reverse ovder from the way IN
which they were finished and appeared
in fac simile. The first act closes with
the ''EXegi Monumentum Fere Perenni-
us" CT have erected monument more
lasting than stone'O.
1t treats of Germanys gradual evolu-
tion from the time of ancient Germania
to the period of the powerful dominion
of Kaiser Wilhelm l. The second act
typifies the strength of Germany inter
nally and the insurance of interanl
peace through prosperous conditions in
municipalities The closing tableau of
this act is formed by the picture ME
mand Zu Liebe, Niemand Zu Lied"
C"Weal and woe to none").
The third act finally portrays the
power of the fatherland in external af-
fairs-that is, the empires military
strength-how the realm is able, allied
to other States, to maintain peace. 1t
closes with the picture "Volker Europas
Wahret Eure Heiligsten Gueter" C"Na-
tions of Europe watch over your most
holy possessions"O.

WEYLER'S WAR
Still Confined to Attacks on Helpless
Women

NEW YORK, July 5.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says: Seniors
Borelles, Marandios, Natrones and Diaz,
all wealthy residents of Guanabacoa,
were arrested recently and hurried to
Jail.
The next night their homes were in
vaded by troops and police and their
wives and daughters were forced to go
with the men, hardly having a chance to
dress. Indeed. two of them, handsome
girls of 16 and Is, were taken away in
their night garments, the soldiers in
dulging in the coarsest jests regarding
them and their appearance. These
women have disappeared and to COM
plants made in Guanabacoa and Ha-
vana no attention is paid.
La Lucia reports that fourteen chill
dren from to Is years have been put in
prison as "abettors of the rebellion"
The American colony is insulted daily
in the papers and many sarcastic re-
marks are made regarding the "Amer-
leans sudden change of front when
Spain stood on her dignity"

TURKISH TOPICS
The Sultan Will Yield-Greek Volun-
teerS Returning

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 5.-The
Sultan now shows signs of yielding on
the question of the rectification of the
Turkish frontier in the direction of
Greece, and the ambassadors expect the
negotiations for peace to be resumed to-
day or Tuesday, when, it is hoped,
everything will be settled in accordance
with the views of Europe.
NEW YORK, July 5.-George Viler, a
Greek of this city, and fifteen other
Greeks who, three months ago, were
among the patriots who went to Athens
to offer their services to the King of
Greece, returned on the French line
steamer La Bretagne. They have started
for their several homes, some of them
having settled in the West. Mr.. Viler
says that on reaching Athens they were
told that their services would not be re-
quired and were, therefore, not enrolled
in the army OF the several hundred
Greeks who went from the United States
many will remain in Greece; others are
scraping together their means and will
endeavor to return.

Delays, but the Delegates Will
Be Well Cared For

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-After a

local Christian Endeavor organization
resumed their labors today preparatory
to receiving and entertaining the in
Vulnerable guests now en- route to Cali
fornia.
Secretary Baer, after experimenting
the arrangements in Mechanics pavil-
ion, said that he was immensely pleased
with all that had been done He had at
tended several national conventions, but
never had local committee done more
excellent service than that of San Fran
cisco. He was particularly pleased with
the assignments of the various delega-
tions, as each can be reached in a few
minutes. reception committee of 35

the visitors as they pass through that
place, but there is little probability that
their work will commence in earnest un-
til tommorw, as the delay in Salt Lake
has upset the schedule prearranged by
the local railroads and the block system
has been resorted to-.
While there are 600 carloads of Endeav-
orers on the road between this city and
Ogden the railroad officials are unable
to state definitely when they will reach
here, but have promised to accommo-
date the visitors by arranging that no
trains shall arrive later that II o'clock It
night nor earlier than a. m.
DELEGATES AT DENVER
DENVER, Col, July 5.-The last in
stallment of Christian Endeavorers and
persons travelling by reason of the cheap
rates from the east which have prevailed
for the last week are in Denver today.
The Denver and Rio Grande took out
two specials today All their trains
have been run in sections, and those of
today were no exception.

A CHILDISH AERONAUT
KILLED BY A FALL FROM A
BALLOON
Six-year-old Bertram Hill Furnishes
an Awful Spectacle for an
Oakland Crowd

OAKLAND, July 5.-Bertram Hill, a
6-year-old boy, was carried UP in a
balloon at Blair park today and fell
1000 feet to his death.
Five thousand awe-stricken people
saw the tragic spectacle. 1t is believed
that the little chap carried out childish
notion in making the ascent, for he was
not entangled with the balloon and was
clearly seen to catch hold of the weight
rope when the monster was released
from it's moorings and leaped into the
air. He had talked for days of balloons
and parachutes and had repeatedly
| asked his guardians to permit him to
make an ascension.
The slender little body, hardly marke d
by the terrible fall, was found in the
Piedmont hills half a mile from Blair
park. 1t landed in the garden in front
of the farm house of e. J. Hasch, whose
place adjoins the Dingee home. The
bones of the limbs were nearly all
broken. but the body was not even badly
bruised.
The boy went to Blair park with Miss
Edna Olney, daughter of Mrs. E. M.
OliSyJ Sodlhldll, anu NIS. MARY
Harris, aunt of Miss Olney, both of
whom knew Charles Conlon, the aero
naut, who belongs to the Acme club.
Just before the balloon arose Bertram
handed Mrs. Olney a package which he
carried. The huge canvas bag went
up with a. bound, and as it cleared the
ground the crowd saw the child clinging
to the weight rope. Colon was, warned
through the megaphone that the bal
loon carried a passenger. He shouted to
the child to hang on. The boys cap
f1uttered by him, and when an altitude of
a thousand or more feet had been
reached the body of the little one shot
by the trapeze and down to earth in
full sight of the terrified spectators at
the park. The boy was the son of
Chauncey Hill, an architect and builder
of Los Angeles.

pin several days ago and died in agony
today. A week ago Miss Sullivan was
plying some household care and uncon-

pin caught about the epiglottis in some
manner and stuck there until after a
long exertion the young woman forced
it down her throat and into her stomach.
