MARINES LAND IN CHINA.
VIII Act as Guard Over the American Le
cation.

-
CATION.
Washington, Nov. 26.-The United
States navy has landed marines in
China.
A dispatch was received at the Navy
Department to-day stating that the
captain of the Boston had landed his
marine guard at Tien Tsin. The dis
patch was taken Immediately to the
White House by Acting Secretary Al
len.
Secretary Hay was called into con-
sultatiOn, with the result of reassur
ing the officials and allaying their first
feeling of apprehension. 1t seems that
the marines were landed, not because
of any information Of rioting or al
tacks upon American missionaries. but
solely to act as guard for the United
States legation Mt Pekin.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Pei Ho river several
weeks ago Mt the instance of United
States Minister Conger to provide n
guard for the legation. The minister
represented that nearly all OF the le-
cations of the European powers We're
provided with marine guards. and he
did not care to be exceptional In this
case. After lying at Tangu for while
the Boston worked her way up the
river to Tien Tsin, about the head of
navigation for vessels of her class and
distant about fifty or sixty miles from
Pekin.
1t Is believed at the Navy Depart
ment that the marines will be sent
forward from that point in launches
or small river boats.

Desperadoes Brought Back From Centa,
Working In Gangs, PIunder 4, Broad d
New York, Nov. 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Havana says:
Outside of the principal business
streets in Havana Il verita BILE reign of
terror has set in, with the return of
400 desperadoes, members of the in
famous band OF nanOgoes sent to ecu
ia three years ago. The robbers do not
await darkness to pursue their profess
sion, though by far the greater num-
ber Of crimes are committed at night.
These men work In gangs" which
makes success Of opposition to their
plans almost impossible. Indeed, the
police have found 1t cheaper to refuse
to see their depredations. Yesterday
two members of the new force Of civil
police made an attempt to Illustrate the
plans of four footpnds. The only re-
suit of their temerity was that the
bodies of both policemen We're in the
morgue this morning.
Guanabacoa Is in far worse condi-
tiOn than Havana. There the despera-
does have an absolute control Of the
town after nightfall as Weyler did of
Havana when he was there. The Span
ish military officer says:
Americans are now responsible for
Cuba. II crime is to be put down, let
their soldiers come In and attend to 1t.
For three years they have said we are
brutal in our treatment Of Cuban
criminals. We will watch their meth
ods with great interest"

ton Of the possibilities of flying ma

cakes in the kitchens of the farmers

Congress had brought twelve thou
sand men to the verge of starvation,
and the blood of General Wayne ran
hot with rage as he looked OH his poor
fellows weak with hunger. Indeed.
there was hut one horn tumbler and
also but one wooden dish for every

day on potatoes and hickory nuts.

According to the estimates of the
treasury department the war with
Spain since the outbreak Of hostilities,
April 21. has cost $1S7.529,941, or a
fraction over $1,000,000 day. The
civil war cost $3.o65, ,413, ,425, or an av-
erage of 31,6s5.156 day. The largest
amount paid out during single day in

The great drawback in Porto Rico is
lack of roads. There is only one
good road on the island, and that is
the military road extending from San
Juan to Ponce, distance of about so
miles. This road is described as a
marvel OF engineering skill and one OF
the best roads to be found in the world.
Other parts of the island are traversed
by bridle paths or narrow roads in
miserable condition. The telegraph
system, which is operated in conjunc-
tion with the postal system. is a one
horse affair. 1t has been taken in
charge by the American military au-
thorities and is now operated separ-
ately from the postofice.

SCALDED BY STEAM.
Several Persons Meet "a Terrible Death on
n Steamer.


a Steamer.
Stockton, Cal, Nov. 27-By dis
astrous river accident this morning, at
40 O'Clock near Fourteen Mile slough
when one of the boilers of the river
steamer T. c. Walker, which left San
Francisco about 6 o'clock last night.
was blown out six We're killed and
eleven dangerously wounded, while
probably fifteen or twenty others were
more or less badly hurt.
The T. c. Walker is owned by the
California Navigation & Improvement
Company. and ran between San Fran
cisco and Stockton.
The majority Of the passengers were
In bed when the explosion occurred,
and were awakened by the report,
which was as loud rs n cannOn's roar.
People rushed from their rooms in
their night clothes and found the
whole forward portion of the steamers
upper works blown away.
The electric lights had been put out
and the escaping steam enveloped the
front portion OF the boat till 1t was i'm
possible to see how much Of the boat
had been carried away.
The screams Of the men who Were
locked In their rooms near the pilot
house We're heart-rending. Captain
John Tulan had been blown from his
bed against the door of the state room
and was so seriously injured that he
could not move. The door could not
be forced open as he was jammed up
against 1t.
One Of the employees of the boat Sc
cured an AK and cut the upper part of
the room away and finally removed

roasted alive.
When pulled out the flesh dropped
from his bones in large pieces, and nj
though he was suffering excruciating-
ly he bore 1t bravely, and not groan
escaped him as he was taken out of
the steam.
Watson Henry, the chief engineer,
and his wife We're in their room near
the pilot house when the explosion
aroused them.
Mrs. Henry was blown through the
roof. The floor was blown upwards
and she was hurled with great vio-
lcncc distance of fully twenty feet
towards the bow of the boat She
was horribly crushed by the force of
the explosion and also badly scalded
with escaping steam. Her injuries
proved fatal at 1870 this afternoon
She retained consciousness until few
moments before her death.
Her suffering was so intense that
she begged the physicians in attend
ance to end her life. but all that could
be done was to deaden the pain by the
use of narcotics.
The moment the work of rescuing
the injured commenced, Mrs. Francis
Robinson of San Francisco, n trained
nurse, assumed charge and throughout
all the excitement administered to the
wants of those who We're worst injur-
ed. Although only partly dressed she
began her noble work.
Flour and lard We're applied to the
scalded men to relieve their sufferings.
After she had somewhat eased them,
she returned to her stateroom and fin-
lshed dressing.
In few moments she again appear
ed on the lower deck to look after the
wants of the deck hands, Engineer
Henry. his wife, Captain Tulan and
Mr.. Brizzolana being In charge of the
friends. All Of them were calling for
water and there was much confusion.
