New York. Nov. 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Havana says:
Outside of the principal business
streets in Havana n veritable reign of
terror has set in, with the return of
100 desperadoes, members OF the in
famous band of nanogoes sent 10 Ceu-
ia three years ago. The robbers do not
await darkness to pursue their profess
sion, though by far the greater num-
Der 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 it cheaper to refuse
to see their deprcdations. Yesterday
two members of the new force of civil
police made an attempt TO frustrate the
plans Of four footpads. The only re-
suit OF their temcriiy was that the
bodies Of both policemen were In the
morgue this morning.
Guiana bacoa is in a far worse condi-
tion than Havana. There the dcspera-
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

CATION.
Washington. Nov. 26.-Thc United
States navy has landed marines III
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
match was taken Immediately to the
White House by Acting Secretary Al
len.
Secretary Hay was called into con-
sultntion. 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 at-
tacks upon American missionaries. but
solely to net as guard for the United
States legation at Pckin.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Pei Ho river several
weeks ago at the instance Of United
States Minister Conger to provide
guard for the legation. The minister
represented that nearly all of the le-
cations of the European powers were
provided with marine guards. and he
did not care to be exceptional in this
case. After lying Mt 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.

Stockton, Cal, Nov. 27.-By a dis
astrous river accident this morning, at
4:2O o'clock near Fourteen Mile slough
when one of the boilers of the river
steamer T. c. Walker. which left San
Francisco about q o'clock last night,
was blown out, six were killed and
eleven dangerously wounded, while
probably fifteen or twenty others were
more or less badly hurt.
The T. G. 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 as a 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.
Tho electric lights had been put out
and the escaping steam enveloped the
front portion of the boat till it was inn
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 it.
One OF the employees of the boat Sc
cured an ax and cut the upper part of
the room away and finally removed
him: but not until he was virtually
roasted alive.
When pulled out the flesh dropped
| from his bones in large pieces. and al
though he was suffering excruciating-
ly he bore it bravely. and not groan
escaped him ms 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-
lence 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 were worst injur-
ed. Although only partly dressed she
began her noble work.
Flour and lard were applied TO the
scalded men to relieve their sufferings.
After she had somewhat eased them.
she returned to her statcroom and fin
