NEYLER WANTS TROOPS.
Calls For Another Consignment
of 90, 900 For Slaughter.

CHICAGO, June PA special to
the Chronicle from Jacksonville. Fla
says: Weyler while at Cienfuegos made
request for 10000 more colonial volun-
teers with the intention Of starting an
active campaign. He has also demand
ed from Spain 10000 additional troons
to reach Cuba by Sept. l. The rainv
season will be drawing to a close at
this time and this goes to prove the as
sert1on that he will make the effort Of
his life to conquer the insurgents. The
announcement that Gomez would be-
gin active operations has been verified
1t is officially stated today that
Spanish column has had an engage
ment with rebels under Stolongo on the
Stolongo ranch near Jaguey Grande
province Of Matanzas. The insurgents
are alleged to have been dispersed with
the loss of fifteen killed and one wound
ed. The Spanish had a corporal wound
ed. 1t is known that this "engage
ment' was simply an attack made by
the troops upon the defenseless paci-
f1cos on the ranch, and that the fifteen
persons reported to have been killed in
battle were brutally massacred.

FLAMES ON THE ROME.
No Panic Among the Passengers
While the Crew Fought Fire.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The Anchor
line steamer City of Rome arrived to-
day from Glasgow and Moville after
a thrilling experience with fire on board
ship. Capt. Hugh Young reports that
the steamer sailed on June 10 with sc
saloon, 80 second cabin and $50 steer
age passengers and a cargo Of general
merchandise. On Saturday at 230 D.
NJ, in latitude 41.28, longitude 1929, the
bridge officer detected smoke issuing
from No. hold, Immediately forward
Of the bridge. Dense volumes of smoke
soon began to ascend. The fire alarm
was quickly sounded, and the crew
beat to quarters. Meanwhile an officer
was detailed to notify the passengers,
who were calmly sitting or promenad-
ing the decks.
In a few minutes hose was stretched
along the deck from the engine room
to the hold where the fire was then
raging. Steam and water were turne1
into the burning compartment, and at
p. m. the fire was under control.
Further precautions were then taken -
prevent possible outbreak and spread
of the fire to the adjoining conpart-
ments.
Another detachment of the crew were
ordered to stand by in case of erner-
gency, and streams Of water were kent
constantly pouring into the burning
compartments, and on the main deck
in the immediate vicinity Of the fire.
The cargo in the burning hold consist
ed chiefly of jute goods, and will prob
ably be a total loss.
The cause of the fire is supposed 10
have been spontaneous combustion
The amount Of damage cannot be as
certained until the steamers matches
are taken off and the cargo dis
charged.
At one time the passengers were re-
quested to get their hand baggage and
be prepared to leave the ship, but
tnere was no panic among them. MANY
Of the state rooms were flooded

hind, followed. Itwas in this car that
Conductor Copeland was riding The
other occupants escaped serious in
jury. The chair car next behind also
plunged in upon the mass of wreck
age end first, and all it's passengers
were thrown to the forward end III
an indescribable heap. How they es
capped with no more serious injury is
a mystery which all the passengers 10
this coach are puzzled over. The front
END OF the sleeper, next in rear,
jammed into the protruding end of the
chair car, and was thus prevented
from following the others into the
chaSm.. The two Excelsior Springs
coaches in the rear remained on the
track
The scene Of the wreck, which is but
tWenty-one miles northeast of Kansas
City, near Missouri City station, was
visited today by many persons. A
Wrecking train worked there all day,
repairing the trestle and raising the
shattered coaches, and tonight trains
are moving over the road as usual.
The postal authorities report that
probably nearly ali of the mail carried
on the train was lost or destroyed.
When the wreck occurred the five pos
tai clerks are supposed to have had all
Of their pouches opened and to have
been at work distributing the mail.
The car was SO broken and splintered
that most Of the mail floated off, prob
ably to drift into the Missouri river
and be lost. The Wabash train each
evening carries all of Kansas City'S
afternoon mail for the East, and it al
ways heavy and valuable.

BIG DAY IN OSHKOSH.
Fifteen Thousand Visitors to the
Saengerfsst.

OSHKOSH, Wis, June 27.-This city
had a population today of $4,000 or
$4,000. There never were so MANY
persons within its corporate limits at
one time before. At least $4,000 Wis
itors were here and the number is
placed at 10000 by many. The Saen-
gerfest was the attraction. All the ex-
cursions were larger than expected.
and they came by all the railroads
and steamboats,. The Liedertafel of
Milwaukee came over the st. Paul road
with sixteen coaches. The Northwest
ern brought excursions from Wausau,
Manttowoc, Menominee, Princeton,
Ripon, GAINESVILLE and Watertown, and
an excursion from Marshfield arrived
by the Central line. This last consist
ed of seventeen coaches. The parade at
l o'clock was a fine spectacle Near
ly all the societies had some distinctive
garb or design, which lent interest to
the event. A vocal and instrumental
concert of an informal character was
held in Exposition hall in the after
noon, and the days doings concluded
with a summer nights festival at the
fair grounds. The next Saengerfest

HEADED OFF THE JAPS.
RumOred Seizure of Hawaiian Gus
tom House Averted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 81
lowing advices from Honolulu, Hawaii
islands, June 20 Since the Philadelphia
has been in port weekly battalion
drills have been held. On the 14th the
men from both the Marion and the
flagship were landed. While on march
to the drill grounds an orderly brought
an order, and the battalion returned on
board. This action was taken, it is un-
derstood, on account of rumor to the
effect that the Nanaiwai would land a
force of men to take charge Of the Ha-
Waiian custom house The Japanese
failed to act, and it is believed that
Admiral BeardSlee's prompt action
caused the captain to change his mind
The English-speaking people here
believe that there was good foundation
for the rumor in spite of the denial
made at the Japanese legation.
There are all kinds Of rumors float
ing around" said Counselor Akiyama.
Japanese seamen were to land and
take charge of the custom house. An
other is to the effect that the Nanai-
wal is to leave on Wednesday next
That rumor, as also the other, is with
out any foundation whatever. About
two months hence another man-o war
would be here, and the Nanaiwai is not
likely to leave before then"
Japanese Minister Shimama denies a
story to the effect that Japan has
withdrawn his request from the Ha-
waiian government for an explanation

operatives.
Leader Schoenfeld characterized the
statement as a lie made out of whole
cloth. In the face of this denial huge
force of idle tailors was found congre-
gated at the tailors' headquarters.
Many Of them said they had bee;I
locked out, and made no conceaiment
Of the fear entertained by them that
they were face to face with another
period Of idleness
Leader Schoenfeld has decided to hold
forth for the next two weeks at the
headquarters of the United Brotherhood
of TailOrs.
He intended to relinquish his charge
of the tailors yesterday but for some
unknown reason has decided to remain
at his post until the middle of July
Instructions were given to all idle tail
ors today by Schoenfeld not to work
under any condition for contractors
Who had not yielded to the demands.
If the threat of the contractors is
carried out 10000 tailors will be locked
out before the middle of the present
week

CANEA. Crete, June 27-An armed
force of 1920 Mussulmans made a sor-
tie from Canea last night, crossed the
military Gordon and surprised the in
surgents at Kanlikastolh three hours
distant. A desperate combat ensued
in which thirteen Mussulmans were
killed and twelve wounded. The Chris

BABIES FOR BAIT,
How the Hunters in CeylOn Lure Croco.
dies to Their Death,

dies to Their Death,
Crocdiles like to eat babies-nor their
own awkward offspring, but human dar-
lings, fat and dimpled. Skinny babies
are not: adapted to the alligator palate
and are passed by with scorn. But an
alligator will crawl long distance for a
fat one.
This liking of the saurian for babies
is used by hunters in Ceylon to lure the
reptiles to their death. A nice, fat ba-
by is tied by the leg to a stake near
some pond or lagoon where crocodiles
abound. Soon the child begins to cry.
and the sound attracts the crocodile in
hearing distance.
The hunter in the meantime conceals
himself in the bushes or swamp grass
near the baby, with a rifle in his hand
projecting out and almost over the
child. He remains perfectly quiet, and
the reptile, intent on its prey, notices
nothing but the screaming and kicking
infant. AS the monster approaches
within few feet of the bait the hunter
sends bullet straight into the aliiga-
tors eye, thus causing instant death,
A miss would mean death for the ba-
by, but the hunters are expert shots
and at the short distance at which thew
fire a miss is next to impossible, AS a
rule the sound OF the firearm frightens
the baby worse than the presence of the
crocodile's jaws and the rows of sharp
and glistenng teeth, but after being
shot over few times the child takes the
report as a matter of course and paws
little attention to it.
A recent issue of Ceylon newspaper
contained the following advertisement:
"Wanted-Some very fat children as
bait for crocodile hunting. We guaran-
tee to return them safe and sound to
the homes of their parents. Apply"
etc.
This advertisement, which is inserted
in all seriousness, makes it's appearance
regularly in the papers.-Pearson's Mag
szine.
