Chicago, July DIR. Stanton, who
has charge of the examination of re-
cruits for the regular army in this
city, has caused a sensation by declar-
ing that an habitual fast rider of
bicycles, or "scorcher," is unfit
physically to serve as a soldier in the
army. He has made this matter the
subject of severe tests in examinations
of applicants for enlistment and many
men h, sc been rejected because of n
'"bicycle heart" caused by excessive
exercise in riding wheel. The doctor
says: persistent scorching has n
tendency to enlarge the heart and in

Six Fatalities Follow the Capsizing of an

Excursion Steamer.
Beverly, Mass, July 5.-The small
excursion steamer Surf City, with
about 60 passengers on board, while
half way over from Salem Willows to
her wharf here, distance of about
two miles, was struck by terrific
squall about 6 o'clock last night and
capsized. Of those on board large
majority are believed to have been
rescued by boats from both the Salem
and Beverly shores, but six bodies had
been recovered at dark, and as it is
known that many rushed into the
cabin before the squall, it is thought
that twice as many bodies are still
confined there. AS one or two of those
taken ashore are in a critical condi-
ton, it appears likely that the list of
dead may reach score. The follow
ing bodies were recovered from the
wreck:
Mrs. Catherine D. Weber, 25 years
old, of Beverly.
Miss Grace Smell, 13 years old,
daughter of Arthur Snell of Beverly.
Three-year-old son of John Kenney,
of Beverly.
Two unidentified women; one uni
Identified 6-year-old boy.
The vessel had just reached Beverly
bar when the storm struck the boat
and at the same time a lightning bolt
struck the beacon at the end of the
bar.
Amid the terrible din of the thunder
which followed the lightning flash and
the fearful whirlwind, the little
steamer careened over to starboard
and went down, all so suddenly that
even the commander had the greatest
difficulty in getting out of the boat.
The boat sank in about Is feet of
water, her hurricane deck being loos-
ened in the gale, while all those on
board were either thrown into the
water or struggled desperately to get
from under the decks or out of the
cabin of the boat.
The steamer was seen to go down
by persons on both sides of the bay
and boats Immediately put out to the
wreck, reaching her in few minutes.
Those in the water were quickly
hauled aboard, and with the living
were drawn into the boat a number of
dead, including the bodies of two
children.
The scene while the work of rescue
was going on was a fearful one, as
over half of those on board were wo-
men and their screams could be heard
for miles. Many clung to the top of
the hurricane deck and supported
themselves until the boats came, while
others grasped the fagstaffs and even
the smokestack.

Hong Kong, July 2.-According, to
private letters from Cavite, dated
June 27, the insurgents occupy the
whole of Bulucan province. Occasion
al skirmishes occur. The insurgents
captured the Spanish ship Behul in
Kayabayo while she was landing 500
troops. A stubborn fight occurred, in
which the Spanish commander, lieu
tenant colonel, was killed. The insur-
gents have captured the governor of
Bulucan, together with his wife and
children.
Gen. Aguinaldo arrested the rebel
leaders Artachio and Sandico, for hav-
ing revealed the fact that the steamer
Pasig, recently seized by the Hong
Kong authorities, was laden with arms
for the insurgents. Sandico applied
to Consul Williams and was liberated.
He is now on board the Nanshan. 1t
is feared that the incident will cause
a split in the insurgent party, Sandico
being influential, and the only insur-
gent leader capable of administration.
The insurgents fear that Gen.
Aguinaldo will shoot Artachio unless
Admiral Dewey interferes, as he is
suspicious that Sandico and he in
tended to form an opposluon party.
Dewey has been particular to avoid
committing his government to any
particular line of action respecting the
future of the Philippines, or to do any
thing that would embarrass Gen. Mer-
rift in framing policy to meet the
needs of the case when he arrives. He
has made no official pledges to the in
surgent leader. although he has not
hesitated to openly praise his good
politics and his accomplishments.

Philadelphia, July 1.-Two lives
were lost and another person is lying
at the point of death as a result of a
fire early Friday morning in the dwell
ing house of Patrick II. Flannery, in
West Philadelphia. The fire was start
ed by the ignition of coal oil. The
flames spread rapidly and child was
burned to death before it could be res
cued. Flannery was fatally burned in
attempting to rescue other members
of the family. During the fire Mrs.
Flannery disappeared. She was found
lying in the street near the house. The
woman was struck by trolley car
and is thought to be fatally injured.
Flannery died of his injuries.
1t is believed by the police that Mrs.
Flannery scattered kerosene in all the
rooms and then set fire to the house.
It is said that the woman's mind is
affected and that she fired the house
while insane.

of the Spanish ships and she soon OBJ
tained a lead over the others after
leaving the harbor and escaped the
effect of the shots which destroyed
the other vessels. She steamed away
at great speed with the Oregon, New
York, Brooklyn and several other
ships in pursuit, all of them firing at
her constantly and receiving fire
themselves from her guns. There
seemed no possibility whatever for her
escape, and while her fate is not def
nitely known, it can be readily i'm
agined from the words of Capt. Rob-
ley d. Evans, of the Iowa, who re-
turned from the westward with $40
prisoners from the Vizcaya just as
the dispatch boat Wanda was leaving
the Spanish flagship.
In answer to an inquiry, he shouted
through the megaphone: II left the
Cristobal Colon far to the westward
an hour ago and the Oregon was Civ
ing her hell. She has undoubtedly
gone down with the others and we
will have Fourth of July celebra-
tion in Santiago tomorrow"
Capt. Evans, who had been in the
thick of the engagement up to the
time he took the Vizcaya, said that to
the best of his knowledge not one
American ship had been struck.
The torpedo boat Ericsson, which
also returned from the westward
at about the same time, made a
similar report, saying it was believed
no man was injured on board the
American ships, though another re-
port had it that one man was killed
on board the Brooklyn.
The most dramatic feature OF the
battle was the contest between the
torpedo boat destroyers and the Glou-
cester. The latter was struck several
times and is the only American vessel
reported damaged. At first the Glou-
cester fired upon them with her six
Founders, but they ran past her and
engaged the battleships. Finding the
fire too hot they turned and attacked
the Gloucester again until both de-
stroyers were afire and had to be
beached. Their crews threw them
selves into the surf to save their lives.
Just before this the New York came
up and assisted in giving the finishing
blow to the destroyers.
Washington, July 5.-The annihila-
tion of Cervera's fleet is a ter
rible blow to Spain, as this fleet
was far more formidable than that
wiped out by Admiral Dewey at Ma
Mia, and was the strongest tlotilla of
ships Spain had afloat. 1t consisted
of the four armored cruisers Vizcaya,
Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and Maria
Teresa and the three torpedo boat
destroyers Pluton, Furor and original.

MYTON IN WAR PAINT.
Indian Agent Bound to Protect Gov

fspecial to The Herald.


Price, Utah, Dec. 10.-Indian Agent
Myton has taken on his war paint since
his pow-wow with the Great Father at
Washington, and according to all re-
ports is going to make it exceedingly
warm for all violators of the law, no
matter of what nature, that can be
gotten at. His latest edict is dated at
White Rocks agency, Dec. z, and is adj
dressed to the country editors of east
ern Utah. 1t reads: within the next
week or ten days I will issue annuity
goods to the Indians at both agencies,
(meaning White Rocks and Ouray). 1
wish you would say in your paper that
1 will bring a criminal action against
any person that buys or trades for an
nuity goods of farming implements
from the Indians. 1 am determined to
break up this business of illegal trad
ing, even if have to send some people
to prison for it." Agent Myton has also
given it out recently that if by the
prosecution and conviction of white
men who sell liquor to the Indians he
cannot break up the liquor traffic with
Poor Lo, he viii proceed against the
Indians themselves.

his relations with Cashier A. B. Jones,
who is accused by the wounded banker
with having done the shooting. These
all show that Mr.. Stout was deeply
involved, with the probability that his
enmity towards Jones was greater than
the cashiers dislike for him.
One other suspect was brought 'on

soon permitted to go.
Mr. Stoutts condition, up to a late
hour last night, was not improved, and
may, therefore, be said to be worse.

JOSEPH N, STOUT IN A

COncenSuS Of Opinion Strongly FaYOrS the Theory
Of Suicide
His Statement-How Cashier Jones Passed the Day-His
Statement-yan COtt ExOnerateS Him-Pratt'S Theory

places the slightest credence in the ac-
cusation that he fired the shot. His
whereabouts during the time the shoot
ing took place seem to be satisfactorily
explained and cOrrObOrated, while.
aside from that his demeanor on Fri
day night and all day yesterday prac-
tically disarmed suspicion.
The fact, now brought out for the
first time, that Cashier Jones refused
to certify to Mr.. StOutt's statement Of
the condition of the bank while the
latter was president Of the concern, has
an important bearing on the case, and
in line with practically everything as
certained to be true regarding the re-
latiOns Of the men. shows why Mr..
Stout had reason to entertain bitter
feelings toward mis- former associate
Another point of even greater i'm
DOrtance is as to the time the Murray
car reached State street and Fifth
South. If it was on time, or anywhere
near on time, that fact alone would
completely upset the theory that Mr..
Jones did the shooting.
So far as the police are concerned, it
may be said, briefly, that Chief Pratt
has finally resolved the whole mystery
to two theories. He believes now i'm
plicitly that either Mr. Jones is guilty
of attempting to murder the eX-bank
president. or else that Mr.. Stout shot
himself and tried to fix the crime upon
the cashier.
Chief Pratt, too, relying upon Mr.
Stoutt's positive statement, makes no
secret Of the fact that he thinks Mr..
Jones ought to be in jail. His own idea
as to what should be done is that Mr..
Jones should have been arrested at
once and kept in confinement
County Attorney Waldemar Van Cott
differs radically with the chief on this
point. He is absolutely convinced of
the innocence of Mr.. Jones, and will
not sanction his arrest.
