SPANISH GUNBOATS.
An Attempt to Overhaul a British
Fruit Steamer.
Were Shown Clean Pair of HeeIs-The
Steamer, Although Passing Through
Perfect Storm of Shot, Keeps
Her Course and Escapes.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-After being
twice chased by Spanish gunboats and
passing through a perfect storm of
shot, which splashed in the water
across the vessels bows, the British
fruit steamer Ethelred passed through
the exciting ordeal unscathed and ar
rived at this port last night after a
five days run from Port Antonio,
Jamaica.
When the Ethelred left here May IL
1t was the intention of Capt. D. Hart to
accompany her, but he was arrested as
he was about to step on the gang plank
to go aboard. As it was his invalid
daughter was a passenger. 1t is sup
posed that agents of the Spanish gov
ernment in this city had notified the
Spanish authorities at Havana that
Hart would be on the vessel, hence the
effort to hold up the Ethelred in Cuban
waters.
The first encounter with the Spanish
cruiser occurred off Cape Maisi, on the
trip down. Just after dusk on Sunday
evening, May Is, a gunboat without
any lights shot out from under the
Maisi cape and, crowding on all steam,
steered directly for the fruit vessel.
After steaming for an hour without
gaining an inch, the gunboat turned a
search light on the other vessel.
All steam was crowded on the
Ethlred, which was beginning to show
the Spanlard a clean pair of heels,
when a cloud of smoke belched from
the cruisers side, and second later
solid shot cut the water half mile
ahead of her bows. Then came sec
ond and third shot, each nearer than
the others.
Capt. Israel kept on his course and
after another hours hot chase the
Spaniard dropped from the race.
The second chase happened last
Thursday afternoon in almost the ex-
act spot in which the first attempt to
hold the vessel up occurred. Just as
the Ethelred rounded Cape Maisi big
Spanish gunboat, of the newest type,
started out from under the cape
and gave chase to the Ethelred.
For two hours the chase was kept
up, enlivened now and then by solid
shot throwing up a sheet of white
spray just ahead of the swift vessels
bows. 1t began to look as if the Span
lard meant to chase the Ethelred clear
to the Delaware capes, when another
steamship was sighted and the gun
boat sheered off and gave vigorous
chase to the newly-discovered steamer.

Woman Who Flrst Gave the Alarm to
Others and Then Perished in Her Room
with Her Daughter.
New YORK, May 24.-Two persons
were killed and three seriously injured
in fire which started shortly after
four o'clock yesterday morning in the
four-story and basement brown stone
building, at 149 west Twenty-third
street. Several persons narrowly eS-
capped death.
The dead are:
Mrs. Catherine Mossway, 33 years;
died at hospital from suffocation and
burns.
Beatrice Mossway, four years old,
daughter of the former; saffocated in
her room.
The building was occupied for both
business and dwelling purposes.
In the basement is an all-night eat
ing house. The Weser Piano Co. oc-
cupy the first floor, and the upper part
of the building is a furnished-room es-
tablishment conducted by Mrs. Curtis.
Before the firemen reached the scene
the building was filed with flames.
The hallway from the floor to the roof
was in flames, and escape by the
front was cut off. Panic seized
the inmates of the house. While
tenant named Lamont was crawling
along the narrow sill to reach the ad-
joining house, the body of woman
struck a large sign which hung on the
outside of the building and to which
he clung for support The sign was
torn from its fastenings and fell with
a crash to the street. The woman was
Mrs. Bowles, who had precipitated her
self from the third floor to the street
below when she found that egress
from the house by way of the stairs
was checked by the flames. She was
picked up and taken to hospital.
Lamont did not fall to the street
On the top floor the widest sort of
whom were Mrs. Mossway and her
daughter. Most of the tenants, in
cluding Miss Macdonald and Mr..
Phaps, had escaped to the roof.
Mrs. Mossway, who lost her life, was
sleeping with her little daughter when
she was aroused by the smoke. She
ran into the hall and gave the alarm
and then went back after her daugh-
ter. When she started to return the
smoke and flames drove her again to
her room. She attempted to open the
window, but it did not yield readily
and she broke the glass with her
hands. The window would not open,
and even if it had there would have
been little chance for her, as it is pro-
tected on the outside by iron bars.
When the firemen searched the house
they found the little girl dead in bed,
the mother lying on the floor blistered
by heat and almost dead from suffoca
ton. She was removed to hospital,
where she died three hours later.
Later in the evening Mrs. Bowles re-
gained consciousness at the hospital,
but no hopes are entertained for her
ultimate recovery. She arrived in the
city three days ago from Boston on
shopping tour. She is about 35 years
ago.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is believed that be1ated tenant
lit match in the hallway to see his
way and carelessly tossed the still
burning match away. The fire started
at the foot of the stairs, and the light
wall acted as fue to carry the flames
to the roof instantly. The damage
was about $4,000.

Got a verdict for Libel.

In the circuit court at Memphis last
week P. ]. Delaney secured Judgment
against the Kansas City railroad in the
sum of So, ,O0O. Delaney sned the rail-
road for libel. His case was based on a
letter of recommendation written by
Supt. Sullivan, in which he said De-
laney was good workman, though he
had joined the strikers in 1898, but in
the writer's opinion Delaney had seen
that he was on the wrong side, and
would not likely give trouble If this
kind again.

A MOAN FROM MANCHESTER.

Centering There.

No Change for the Better in the Industries
Centering There.
MANCHESTER, May 24.-There is no
change for the better in the industries
which center here. Business is SO
small that the factories are practically
at standstill.
The rate of eastern exchange makes
Indian and Chinese orders for the most
part impossible, and there is no sign
of revival as yet in the Levant Idle
looms are rapidly increasing in num-
Der. One result of this serious condi-
ton is the resolution to make the Whit
suntide holidays as long as possible.
Yarns are becoming more plentiful, a
regular glut, in fact, and the old orders
are not replaced by current purchases.
Prices are irregular and the quotations,
which are but nominal, follow the de-
cline in cotton.
On the continent, however, the mar
kets are steady and fairly strong.

Mr.. Searles of the Sugar Trust
HADN'T Time to Heed q
Summons
Issued by the LexOw Committee.
Lexow Says 1t Is Con-
tempt.
Arbuckle Testifies to q Threat to
Force Him Out of Coffee
Business.

New YORK, Feb. 8.-Before the leg.
islative joint committee on trusts ad.
journed Chairman Lexow announced
that the failure OF the part of John E.
Searles, secretary and treasurer Of the
American Sugar Refining company, to
appear before the committee would
bring upon him such punishment for
contempt as the laws Of the state OF
New York prescribed. Edward NJ.
Shepard and John E. Parsons, attor.
neys for the Sugar company explained
that the subpoena to appear before the
committee was served on Mr.. Searles
just as he was leaving the city he was
now in Washington. and could not meet
the committee until its next session.
At that time Mr.. Shepard said. Mr..
Searles would be either in this city or
in Albany, as would best suit the con-
venience Of the committee, and submit
to the proposed inquisition. Chairman
Lexow said that the committee would
decide in executive session what should
be done in the premises.
John Arbuckle was then recalled to
the witness chair. He said it was not
true,a q stated by President Havemeyer,
that the American Sugar Refneries
company did not threaten to force him
out Of the coffee business II he engaged
In the refining Of sugar.
He also stated that there was very
little profit in the coffee business of late
years.
This was In contradiction Of the
statements made by Mr.. Havemeyer,
who stated that coffee was a thriving
and profitable field of mercantile in
dustry. In reply to Senator Lexow,
witness testified that the firms of Ar
buckle & Co. and William F. McLaugh.
lin Of Chicago controlled the coffee
package trade in.the United States, and
that the Havemeyers control the bulk
of the sugar trade to the same extent.
The witness said that there were sew.
eral grades Of coffee, ranging in price
from 10 to 30 cents a pound, the latter
price being paid for Java and Mocha.
"What was the purchase price Of cot.
fee when the American Sugar Refining
company went into the coffee business
through the Woolson company"
II should say the market price for
Rio coffee was 10 cents a pound, and it
sold at 10 cents a pound to the middle
men,"
''What price do you sell it at now?'
Eat 1871 cents per pound"
docs a profit accrue?"
II am not prepared to say just now"
And the WOOlsOn Spice
settled at Is cents q pound?"

0S SIR,
"Do you as a manufacturer consider
it fair to amass from the consumers
enormous profits to be distributed
among the directors and stockholders
in the charge of unreasonable prices?'
The witness tried to evade the ques-
ton, and the spectators gave noisy evi.
dence of their disapproval.
Senator Lexow pounded the desk
with his gayel and ordered that no dis.
play Of feeling be permitted.
"How long will the public STAND
such a thing, do you Think" asked
Senator Lexow.
Witness said that the so per cent div
idend only represented a 8 per cent
dividend on the present value Of the
stock.
He said his company paid 81. 900 for a
single share of the Woolson Spice COM
pany.
Ills it a fact that they are putting up
q better coffee al less price than you
for the purpose Of driving you out of
the market?"
II think our coffee is better than
theirs" the witness replied"
