Short, But Bloody Encounter.

Then several shots were discharged,
one of them killing a Turkish colonel
who was standing by Major Bor's side.
Thereupon the Russian seamen were
ordered by their commanding officer
to advance and fire upon the mutineers.
The British marines were ordered to
make ready, but they did not receive
the command to fire. The gendarmes
replied to the fire of the Russians.
wounding an Italian sailor. Then,
five of the mutineers having fallen, the
gendarmes yielded. In the cofusion
the leaders of the Autiny managed to
escape. The remainder were surround
ed by, the foreign sailors and marines
and were soon lodged in prison. Major
Bor has assured the men that they will
all be released with the exception of
those who first fired. Two of the mu-
tineers were killed and two others are
dying from their wounds. The affair
created the most intense excitement in
the town, where Col. Suleiman Bey,
the Turkish officer who was killed, was
greatly liked. His murderers are con-
fined on board the British warship
Barheur.

ORDERED TO MAKE READY, HOWEVER
Mussulman Gendarmes Refused To Ae-

and Frecipitated the Trouble.
The Leaders Escaped.

Athens, March "details of the
trouble at Canea yesterday have been
received here. The Turkish gendarmes
In that city refused Monday to operform
further duty unless they were at once
paid fifteen months arrears of wages.
The money, of course, was not paid for
the reason that the officiOls did not
have it. Yesterday the men openly
mutinied, threatening to burn the
town and massacre the inhabitants
Later in the afternoon Major Bor, the
Irish officer who commands the
gendarmerie, summoned the mutineers
to assemble. Trouble being expected
foreign marines were ranged in front
of the site of the palace of the COVER
nor, which was burned few days ago.
The mutineers, who numbered about
forty-five, were addressed by Major
Bor, who offered to pay them immedi
ately three months arrears on ac-
count The offer was refused. The
men were. then commanded to lay down
their arms, which they had retained
but they refused to do SO. 1t is proba
BILE that a majority of the men were
willing to obey the order, but a few
turbulent leaders induced them to re-
sist. Major Bor repeated the order
three times, but no attention was paid
to it. Another officer then laid his
hand upon the shoulder of the nearest
gendarme, saying: Lay down your
rifle" Immediately a voice from be-
hind cried: Don't give in. Fire,
pendarmes"

divided skirts, sombrero and gauntlet
gloves. She is an expert with lasso
and crack shot with rifle and revolver.
One of her favorite diversions is to lasso
wild Texas steer, saddle and bride
him, mount upon his back and turn
him loose upon the prairie. She says
that these animals are quite as easily
subdued as the average bronco. This
daring young woman is 16 years of
age, tall and handsome, with unusually
pleasant manners, and no one from a
casual observation would imagine for
Il moment that she possesses so much
nerve" and reckless courage.
She frequently rides her favorite
horses without saddle or bride, guiding
them by words or by a touch of the
quirt on the side of the neck. This
habit came near bringing her to grief
one day last summer. She had been
training her favorite colt, Lightfoot,
to ride without the customary accou-
trements, and wishing to corral a
bunch of horses she sprang upon his
back, without stopping 20 bride him,
and dashed after them. The horses ran
through an open gate into 4 field in~
closed by a high barb-wirc fence. By
this time Lightfoot had become so eX-
cited from the brisk run as to be alb
solutely unmanageable, and he made
straight for the fence at his topmost
speed.
For moment it seemed that horse
and rider must become entangled in
the barb-wire and be mutilated, but
just as the animal reached the fence
it made a gigantic bound and cleared
the obstruction. She succeeded in calm
ing him as her brother and parents
hastened to the scene. They begged her
not to ride the colt again, but her
'blood was up" and she now declared
that she would drive the horses with
Lightfoot just as he was or die in the
attempt. Striking him sharp blow
with the quirt, she again flew after
them, and this time she succeeded in
landing them safely inside the corral.

BURNED AT SEA
Captain and Grew Reach Shore In
Safety


NEW YORK, June 23.-Fathoms deep
on a bed off the treacherous Florida
Keys lies the charred hulk of the Ameri-
can schooner Appia and Amelia, which
burned to the waters edge and sank
June 18th. Her captain, G. W. Willard.
and his crew Of eight men, who barely
escaped with their lives from the burn
ing vessel just arrived here on the NAL
lory liner Concho. The Appia and Ame-
liza sailed out of the port of Pascagoula,
Miss, June 18th, bound for this port.
Lumber filled every space below decks
and it was piled high on deck. When the
fire broke out near the after hatch, June
18th, Captain Willard was determined
to save his schooner If possible and while
three men were told off to form q bucket
brigade the others, with their felt hats
soaked with water and drawn down over
their faces, to protect them from the
heat, made bold dash at the smoking
hatch and succeeded in tumbling the
lumber overheard while their mates
kept them drenched with water drawn
from the sea. It was all in vain, how
ever. for the flames crept along the
decks, beams and burst forth from the
forward hatch. 1t was then apparent
that the schooner was doomed. and the
long boat was hastily provisioned. With
out waiting even to secure even the
schooner's papers, her skipper and crew
